The episode title refers to the very awkward phenomenon that is adding a third party to your friend group, but this episode of Pen15 is an exploration of mothers and daughters through the tumultuous teen years.
Welcome to the 2000 Middle School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Whether it was crystals, tarot cards, dressing goth, or an obsession with The Craft, it seems like we've all dabbled with some kind of celestial escapism during the most tumultuous times in our lives. This episode also delves into the heart of best friendship and how we help our friends deal with emotionally trying situations, even when we're not yet equipped to properly feel feelings.
Maya and Anna venture into the world of wrestling for a boy...and Virginia and Krista can NOT relate. Plus, when did you discover your lady parts? Let's discuss.
We're having a PEN15 Watch Party for Passing Notes Season 3! Watch along with us, and meet us Tuesdays to discuss the beautiful middle school nuances of each episode. And give yourself a pat on the back for surviving 7th grade in the late 90s/early 00s. In this episode:
Can you BELIEVE Center Stage came out TWENTY. YEARS. AGO?! Why does 2000 still feel like yesterday? Anyway, this is a long episode, so strap in folks!
Stay Home, Stay Safe orders have opened up our schedules for recording! How are you faring during these strange times? More importantly, how are you handling working from home? Virginia, a veteran remote worker, shares her best productivity tips as well all learn to navigate our new normal.
Happy New Year, friends! Remember 20 years ago when everyone thought all of the computers were going to meltdown and civilization as we knew it was going to be over? Us too! Usher in 2020 with a blast from the futuristic past.
FRIENDS turned 25 this year and the universe is losing their mind with merch!
Netflix is really cornering the romcom market, and we're gushing over Always Be My Maybe and Keanu!! Our last ep of the season :(
Hack-ey. Sack. Hack-ey. Sack. It's been 20 years since 'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None The Richer became the soundtrack to slow motion glamorous reveals down the stairs. We're celebrating a quintessential 90's teen romcom, She's All That. Enjoy!
The ultimate sign of freedom as a teenager, getting your driver's license! We're talking about our young adventures as newly independent children.
Pen15. A new favorite for lots of obvious reasons. Hulu originals are really killing the game.
Alternate title: Krista forgot her adderall. We briefly touch on some of our favorite (?) fashions from the 90's but you'll hear about a lot more than that. Apologies? But also no, because this is what's it's like to have a friend with ADHD.
Welcome to part 2 of our minor obsession with cults, true crime docs, et al.
