It's true--we're still back, baby! Today, Jen+ Lillian discuss the transformative EAT, PRAY, LOVE trips of their lives. From nostalgic camp memories to fleeing nuclear fallout, the stories today are cathartic, cinematic, and a little ridiculous.
WELCOME TO SEASON SOMETHING! What season is it? We don't know! But we've been hugging your ears for 3+ years, and this is a glorious return from a long hiatus, so here we are. Jen + Lillian kick off this season with a boatload of feelings and hormones as we deep-dive into the works of Judy Blume--a woman who wrote your whole adolescence, but who is infinitely more amazing and radical than we ever knew. The incomparable Judy leads us down a path of our own puberties, sex ed, and so much more. (Al...
We can't let November begin without one more send-up to spOoOoOky Halloween! We talk Jen's first proper adult Halloween, definitively rank the best horror movie baddies, and try to fight the siren call of maternity pants--all before we chill you to the bone with more terrifying stories from beyond the veil.
Are you ready for another spOoOoOky Halloween with Jen + Lillian, fuckbuddies? We are thrilled to bring back the infinitely creepy Jezebel stories, true tales from dubious dating apps, chilling chateaus, and--as ever--fucking Florida.
While convalescing bedside--respectively from un-COVID and knee surgery--Jen + Lillian wax rhapsodic about high school reunions, the joy of Amazon Slime, and exciting fat representation on TV.
After an impossibly frought and endless sojourn in the Midwest, Jen finally rejoins Lillian in the land of the ̶f̶r̶e̶e̶ pizza--New Friggin' Jersey. Listen to a tale of an unbelivable move that gets more and more bonkers as we go!
Yes we know it's been 5 weeks, but have you seen planet Earth recently? THIS PLACE IS BONKERS. Catch up with Jen + Lillian right before things went absolutely hogwild (why yes, that is an early tidbit of next week's episode) as they process some of the most fascist, doom-mongering shit 2022 had to throw! But there is a silver lining... and it tastes like Jamba Juice. -- Want more information on fake clinics? Click here!...
Here it is, your first brand new episode from Jen + Lillian! There's no theme today, fuckbuddies--just two best friends who haven't done a full "I can't even" download for seven whole months. Learn about why we've been gone, Southern colonial dinner fare, and who's getting hot and heavy (spoiler: it's a puppy!).
In a final unaired episode, Jen + Lillian explore their journals from their first intrepid days in the world as Grown-Ups (read: freshly 23, and brand-new in New York City with a BA in Theatre Arts). And oh boy, does the Big Apple have some adventures in store for these two young, green, pie-eyed gals. Get ready for tales of questionable student films, early days of Ani DiFranco, and all the multi-level ̶c̶u̶l̶t̶s̶ marketing you can handle!
What smells like Sun-Ripened Raspberry? In this unaired episode, Jen + Lillian return to their hometown malls of yore: neon-laced atriums with Corndogs on a Stick, Suncoast Video--and a Wet Seal, if you were really lucky. Long live our abandoned pigeon palaces! (Related: The Life and Death of the Phillipsburg Mall )
Jen + Lillian are BACK, Fuckbuddies! And to kick off a brand new season (?), we present to you Jen's favorite format: My Best Friend's Best Friend. Today, meet Kay Koch, the Jim Henson to Jen's Frank Oz. Kay and Jen wax rhapsodic with Lillian about walrus fails, chivalrous sheep, and how many pelvic exams are too many? | The Weirdos Next Door
OKAY SO WE KNOW THIS IS WEIRD. We know it's been 196 days since we checked in, said hello, kept you company in the car-shower-kitchen-dark. Lots of you are asking: is All the Fucks over? Nay, fuckbuddies--WE ARE BACK! We're here, we're queer, we're taking our meds and trying our best! Get ready for the return of your (we hope favorite) rad fat fairy godmothers as they process a whole lotta life and trauma together.
Fuckbuddies, it's Lillian's birthday! Join Jen + the birthday girl as Jen paints a glorious picture of Capricorn Excellence, we reflect on some of the best internetting for our mental health, and we chase our desires for the year ahead.
What's that, fuckbuddies? The world is one giant FOX Christmas tree on fire? Let Jen + Lillian distract you with a great big Dollop of Christmasy proportions--1986's BABES IN TOYLAND, starring an eerily on-the-brink Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves in his most adorable role of all time! And if you haven't seen this epic, traumatizing gem, don't wait one more moment--it's on Prime right now. You're welcome.
Fuckbuddies, we know--it's shaping up to look like another superspreader Christmas. Whether you are hunkering down, testing positive, or avoiding a long-awaited flight, Jen + Lillian are here to bring you a little bit of comfort and warmth, and a reminder that not absolutely everything this year was horrid. As we remember our high points of 2021, we encourage you to take inventory of the blessings that may have befallen you this year. Stay safe, be well, and happy holidays, everyone!
LOLOL. Well fuckbuddies, what more do you expect from our second Christmas in quarantine?! A journey down Kris Kringle lane gets interrupted by a tech snafu, and Jen cobbles together something for your virtual stockings from the peaceful oasis of Newark Liberty Airport. Ho Ho Ho!
Welcome back, fuckbuddies! Ever mock up a hall pass or fake a headache to get out of dodgeball? Today, Jen + Lillian reflect on those seemingly innocuous childhood tendencies that, frankly... should have warranted a bit more adult intervention. With our collective goldfish memories, social withdrawal and chronic IBS, the kids are not, in fact, all right.
Fuckbuddies, Tom Turkey brought us all a glorious Thanksgivukkah gift: he brought together bestest sisters-from-another-mister BFFs, Lillian and her other half, Shanna Bowman. Lillian and Shanna go way back, and Jen couldn't pass up the opportunity to do our first episode of MBFBF--a microseries where we share stories with one of our oldest, nearest, and dearest friends. Listen for pure glee, including stories of renaissance faires, feral wolves, and KMart hijinx! (And little-known Muppet holida...
Hi friends! A special note from Lillian. Jen and I have some big smushy content for you, but we also want to acknowledge that for many indigenous people, what we call Thanksgiving is a day of mourning. If this is on your heart today, I'd like to tell you about my friend Sky. They're Mikmaq and identify as Two Spirit (a term used by indigenous folks who reject Western gender binaries) transgender, and they're an incredible artist and lovely soul, they live with chronic pain, and they were displac...
Jen + Lillian brought snacks and sleeping bags! It's just us today, and wow, has it been a long time since we just sat together and talked. Today, we revisit poking at our socio-economic upbringings--our privileges and pitfalls, both real and perceived. We talk moms making magic, toys we cherished, and the things we could never have. We also wax rhapsodic about all the TV we haven't talked about, as well as the most important YouTube video that's ever existed. (Also, happy birthday Dreading the ...
Jen + Lillian are back with a friend! Meet storyteller, dirty talker, and dildo slinger Dirty Lola--host of NYC's live show SEX ED A GO GO ! Lola is a proud sex edu-tainer, making sex ed fun and empowering. Lola tells us all about growing up in the South, '90s diet culture, being out and brilliantly queer as a NYC teen, and dabbling in Twitter After Dark .
Upper East Side paparazzi! Covens of Stepford children! Strange moneypit museums! The Shah of Iran! This one has everything, it's weird, it's complicated. Jen + Lillian haven't even really scratched the surface. But today, we try to give you a nuanced look at the way we perceive class and privilege as children; the imaginary trappings that felt SO important, and the mundane structures that were nowhere to be found. Also, we talk Serious Influencing Business about some of the best (and most ridic...
It's spOoOoOoky Halloween! Jen + Lillian prepare for a weekend of candy and frights, sharing some of their best horrific recommendations and diving into the Jezebel Halloween archives once more. Don't forget your night light!
Crawl into our blanket fort, and don't forget your flashlight--because tonight, Jen + Lillian are telling you some truly mortifying tales from all across New York! From questionable theatre in the village to a city slicker dude ranch in New Paltz, we share some particularly cringe-worthy diary entries (before the lights go out and we tell you ghost stories!). But the scariest one of all? Why, a house full of Gary Busey, of course.
It’s October! And you know what that means—putting off dentist visits, perpetually remembering and then forgetting that you hate candy corn, and listening to Jen + Lillian tell you stories that rob you of your precious sleep. This week, we spin you a tale of the skinwalkers of Virginia, ne’erdowell maintenance men, and just how brainwashy LuLaRoe had to be to convince anyone that those dresses were cute.
It's October, and you know what that means, fuckbuddies--time to get spoOoOoOky with Jen + Lillian! We have some thrilling stories just for you--but in this calm before the storm, enjoy the last beautiful, ethereal installment of Francesca Lia Block's NECKLACE OF KISSES.
Today, we’re going to tell you about—hey wait, did you see this true crime special? What about this epic cult takedown? Surely you must have seen the multi-level marketing miniseries?! Jen + Lillian get sidelined by so much good television and strange cinema it will make your head spin, along with the return of Broadway, champion ferrets, and the unfortunate intimacy of a dog sneeze.
Jen + Lillian are all in their feelings today, so we’re taking you back to the Pink Hotel for some more adventures with Weetzie Bat. But before we do, we explore the insidiousness of sex cults, tinkling when you sneeze, and—can we just talk about the missed opportunity that is LULA RUH-ROH?
Let Jen + Lillian take you behind the velvet curtain today for a backstage pass to some of our cringiest theatre memories! From unlicensed musical snafus, to tyrannical directors, to giant dancing vulvas—we regret it all, fuck buddies. Encore, encore!
Jen + Lillian whisk you back to pink smoggy Los Angeles to continue Francesca Lia Block's NECKLACE OF KISSES. But before we do, can we just talk about horror comedy and why it is the perfect genre? Unrelated, currently seeking looms in gently used condition. Inquire within!
