"The witch version of George Washington"
We watch and enjoy Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, a show where teens actually look like teens. Motherland: Fort Salem is a very lesbian program, Leada has a potentially hot take on the CW DC verse, and Ben Affleck looks like he’s been through something. And finally, the content that has been getting us through these dark times. Recorded August 2020.
Vodka Cranberry Stand
Buckle up, today we’re talking about sports! Ann loves basketball because she cares about supporting a hometown team and also, there are memes. Leada is obsessed with Formula 1 because it is the soap opera of sports. Plus: frat fencing, Ann’s basketball career, and Leada’s hotness ranking of F1 drivers. And a reminder to all, don’t come here for accurate sports content. Recorded March 29, 2020.
"The entire world is upside down"
We power through a documentary double feature of Miss Americana and This is Us (2013). Ann just wants to be tall and broad shouldered and ferment things. Leada pulls out the best One Direction content from the depths of her tumblr likes. We also share our current movie, tv, and podcast favorites to keep you entertained through this incredibly strange and stressful time.
"Demons gonna deem"
We reflect on the three seasons of Shadowhunters: a show that made no sense most of the time but brought us an incredible amount of joy. What are the porn habits of TV writers, and do they show up in their work? Spidery lashes are back, Disney makes good use of their Star Wars money, and Leada finally sees Dear Evan Hansen. Finally, we introduce our newest segment: Ask Vodka Lemonade Stand!
"Chris Evans from Scott Pilgrim"
It’s Vodka Lemonade Stand’s 2nd anniversary! We recap the celebrity couples we gained and lost in 2019 and relive some of the year’s highlights including moments that didn’t make it onto the pod. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is the pure content we need in 2020. Plus: Ann loves TikTok memes, Leada explains health insurance terms, and friendship is what matters the most.
"Wing kink makes the nope list"
Bees can sense royalty?! We watch the endlessly entertaining and nonsensical Jupiter Ascending and Ann breaks out her best celebrity impersonation yet. Elite's second season is everything Riverdale wishes it could be and more. Leada reviews After (2019), another trash fire film courtesy of Wattpad. Also, a Vodka Lemonade Stand declaration: Harry Styles is a good person who wears fabulous suits and loves pregnant women.
"This is my fanfiction injury"
Ann and Leada take a journey through Ryan Murphy's filmography. We start with The Politician on Netflix, which Ann aptly describes as "a fever dream soap opera." Leada attempts to explain the plot of Dear Evan Hansen and recognizes Glee for producing one of the most significant queer relationships on television. Plus: Dr. Phil's son's unexpected music career and EVEN MORE former Bachelor contestants dating celebrities.
"Jonas cubed"
It wouldn’t be Leada’s birthday pod without the Jonas Brothers. Chasing Happiness is surprisingly enjoyable, Camp Rock is shockingly terrible. Leada follows through on her threat to break down the Harry Styles references in Taylor Swift’s 1989. BuzzFeed Community posts are trash, BMI is cancelled, and our appeal to studio executives: bring back Married to Jonas!
"Does this song slap or what?"
For Ann's birthday pod, we revisit the early 2000's with Degrassi: The Next Generation. It turns out Leada and Taylor Swift have two things in common: undying love for Harry Styles AND getting dumped over voicemail. Ann assigns presidential candidates to their Degrassi counterparts and we reminisce about the shows that defined our teen years. Also: who do you think is the ultimate LGBTQ ally? Tweet us @vodkalemstand with your picks!
"This is an ASMR podcast now"
Inspired by Always Be My Maybe, Ann and Leada reflect on embarrassing moments in front of crushes. Leada has beef with Randall Park, and Ann thinks guitar shaped hotels look like ass. Plus, a Vodka Lemonade Stand proclamation: white men age poorly because of the toxicity. Of the patriarchy. Also, they don't wear enough sunscreen.
"Boomers are ruining television"
We like our content woke and sexy and Roswell, New Mexico delivers in spades. Diplo moonlights as a wedding videographer, Ann and Leada have drastically different approaches to conflict resolution, and no one knows what the fuck is happening on Riverdale. Plus: why do sheriffs wear bad hats?
"There's nothing wrong with Kevin"
The Jonas Brothers are back together! We have a theory as to why. Captain Marvel was a joy, we can't wait to see her in Avengers: Endgame and hope her storyline gets significantly gayer. Plus: anti-aging film technology, #nickandpriyanka's wedding, and Ann's love of eyebrows.
"Is he cute or just tall?"
Ann and Leada strongly endorse Netflix's Sex Education starring Asa Butterfield, henceforth referred to as "the Victorian ghost." We are highly skeptical that high school students get audible simultaneous mass text message notifications. Plus: saving One Day at a Time, a local retailer's problematic sizing, and two ladies who just want someone to roll up their sleeves.
“Murder alibi tomatoes”
Ann and Leada get hooked on Lifetime’s You. Disclaimer: please do not romanticize Joe’s character because he’s a psychotic murderer, okay? No one should have their rebounds televised, but luckily Colton is redeeming himself as the Bachelor. Also, we are recruiting Schitt’s Creek enthusiasts to join our group Halloween costume! Please apply for the roles of Johnny, David, and Stevie via Twitter DM @vodkalemstand.
"Friends to enemies to lovers"
It’s Vodka Lemonade Stand’s 1st birthday! Ann watches The Fast and The Furious (or as she describes it, Point Break with cars) for the first time. We share highlights from a year of the pod: our favorite rants, episodes, and media. Plus: ‘90s trends, media we’re excited for in 2019, and a controversial take on the best 1D ships.
"Pelvic awareness"
Marvel’s Runaways is back with lots of murder and alien intrigue but not enough kissing. We review Zayn’s new album of sexy elevator music and present the 2018 Vodka Lemonade Stand Choice Awards. Plus: Leada rants about RPF (again) and Ann asks the important questions: is Model UN just UN fanfiction?
"He was Fart-Man"
Elite is our favorite Spanish teen soap opera with kinky teens and murder! Leada is the peer pressuring friend from your 7th grade D.A.R.E. skits. We have several celebrity couple updates and VERY controversial thoughts about A Star is Born (2018). Also, who’s hotter: Bradley Cooper or Kris Kristofferson?
"Don't come here for the sports content"
Sierra Burgess is a Loser may have gotten 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it gets 0% from us. Neighbors (2014) and Neighbours, the long-running Australian soap opera, are two drastically different things. Ann loves American Vandal and wants more mysteries about shit that isn’t murder. Also: why is The Good Wife the only good CBS show?
"Glitter, drama, and Alec"
Ann and Leada discuss the truly delightful double feature of Crazy Rich Asians and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Leada hates Lake Oswego and Ann loves NPR interns. Plus: crowdsourcing Halloween costumes, Taylor Swift’s (alleged) love of antiquing, and a #yikes celebrity engagement.
"Is weed Whole 30?"
Leada calls the shots on a special birthday episode and we are joined by our second guest on the pod, the infamous Becca. Beautiful Creatures (2013) is a trash fire. We introduce new games: “Becca Guessing Celebrities,” and Ann and Becca answer questions on Leada’s Bachelor contestant application. Also: do you think nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra look good together? #nickandpriyanka
