It's the sixth anniversary of G&G and the debut of a new segment we're calling "Glitterati primers"! On this edition, Harley chooses four matches to get to know him and makes Em, Lindsay, and returning guest Brie Montoya watch them.
His watch list for this episode:
Marlena vs. Sunny in an arm-wrestling match
WWF Monday Night Raw (2/24/97)
Momo Watanabe vs. Jungle Kyona for the Wonder Of Stardom Championship
Stardom Stardom...
It's the return of 20 Questions as Harley chats with comedian, actress, and wrestling ring announcer Melanie Dahling!
She discusses becoming a wrestling fan as an adult, her love of Jody Threat, Can't Hardly Wait, career highlights, and working with the Toronto Wrestling Club.
Harley is joined by Meg and her partner Jim to discuss AEW Forbidden Door 2025!
Meg & Jim talk being live in attendance in the O2 Arena in London, Toni Storm vs. Athena, the TBS Championship four-way, whether Athena will disappear back to ROH now, and early indicators that the first women's Blood & Guts match may be coming.
Em and Harley welcome back Kate Meizner, singer and principal songwriter of Brooklyn power pop band Jobber, ahead of the release of their debut album To The Stars!
They discuss wrestling as a metaphor for slave-wage capitalism, wrestling music videos, wrestling as catharsis, and manifest a collab with B3CCA.
Originally conducted August 17, 2021 for the website Bell To Belles. Never before heard. Harley spoke with British wrestler Chakara on the theme of "momentum."
"What does a goddess do on her time off? 21-year-old Chakara was taking England by storm in the tail end of 2019 after two standout matches against Big Swole for Riptide Wrestling. Then a pandemic hit. For 16 months she was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch the...
On the season 15 premiere, Em throws a summer picnic with Laz and Don joining her to dig into a potluck of summer wrasslin' matches!
They discuss a graduation (of sorts), a trip to the beach, and, of course, when Ants invade the picnic. Plus: Is borscht an appropriate beach treat? What food would you bring to a summer wrestling show? And the enduring impact of Sara Del Rey.
On the season 14 finale, it's the return of G&G Film Club! Em and Lindsay are joined by debut guest Peaches to discuss the 2017 film Signature Move.
"Zaynab, a thirty-something Pakistani, Muslim, and lesbian woman living in Chicago, takes care of her TV-obsessed mother Parveen. As Zaynab falls for Alma, a bold and very bright Mexican woman, she searches for her identity in life, love, and wrestling."
Harley, Em, Mayydayy, and Laz discuss the women of NXT Slammi-- sorry, TNA Slammiversary.
It was the 23rd anniversary of TNA and every match save one featured former or current NXT superstars. Jacy Jayne beat Masha Slamovich clean to capture the Knockouts Championship. The tag titles were relegated to the pre-show. And Indi Hartwell picked up a win over someone the crowd loudly believed to be racist. What does all it mean? We...
Harley and Meg talk the women's action from All In: Texas including a match of the year candidate from Toni Storm and Mercedes Moné, Athena winning the casino gauntlet, the debut of Syuri, the returns of Harley Cameron and Alex Windsor, and where we go from here.
Up next: Forbidden Door in August in London with Meg in the building, then All Out in September in Toronto with Harley in the building.
As we cross the halfway point for 2025, Em, Lindsay, Laz, and Don tap into their inner clairvoyants to make a series of predictions as to what the state of women's wrestling could look like over the next six months.
On the 300th episode of Grit & Glitter, it's Glitterati origin stories.
Harley, Em, Mayydayy, Val Pancakes, Don, Lindsay, Meg, and Laz share how they became wrestling fans, how they got into making podcasts and zines and art and wrestling championships, early favorites, current faves, and what being a part of this team has meant to them.
Plus: the premiere of the top secret new Grit & Glitter theme song!!
After three long years, it's the return of The Newly-Tagged Game, our game show where tag teams compete to see which duo knows each other the best!
Harley & Em host as Rosie Fingers & Jess Reina Casablanca take on the Stoner Brothers. They're quizzed on food gimmicks, entrance music, road trips, cartoons, and more. Rosie & Jess think they'll get 7. Twins Rick Scott & Scott Rick think they're going to get every si...

Pride 2025 continues as Don welcomes Full Queer Tag Team Champions C.R.E.E.P.S. - Irving West & Andey Ripley!
They talk how their team came to be, starting out in Georgia, and some of the people that have helped them along the way, as well as their move to Pittsburgh, all the great queer tag teams in the area, and constantly learning and trying to be the best tag team they can be.
Em, Lindsay, and Brian Bell kick off PRIDE MONTH with a roundtable chat about their LGBTQI+ milestone moments in wrestling.
