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.

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!

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!

Ann and Leada kick off their very first episode with teen pop culture's brightest moments of 2017, including Riverdale, Shadowhunters, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Spiderman: Homecoming, and more. Plus: who is Senator Merkely's (D-OR) favorite character on Teen Wolf?
