Media scholar & author Dr. Brandy Monk-Payton (Fordham University) joins Karen & Wynter to talk about the preponderance of domestic psychodramas like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and Sleeping with the Enemy in the early 1990s. Together they explore what they say about cardigan femininity, race, and the terror of misaligned hand towels. The three also process Megan and Cardi’s WAP, the Kamala Harris VP announcement, and Perry Mason on HBO (Max). Plus, Nuo-lingo and three SOTWs!
