About this episode

Like A Virgin celebrates Valentine’s Day with Rose forcing Fran to watch a movie not about love or romance, but about a meek woman being coerced into a quasi-kinky relationship by a very rich man that she loves for no apparent reason. Of course we are talking about the most lucrative movie ever adapted from a work of Twilight fan fiction: 50 Shades of Grey. On today’s episode, Fran & Rose discuss the books, the movies, why it was a runaway hit, why Rose earnestly loves it despite… a lot of things, and why Fran CANNOT get on board with almost everything about it.

Plus, our final And Just Like That season 1 recap, thoughts on RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK Versus the World and a moment with the new Mitski.
