Vodka Lemonade Stand

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
