Why do we sometimes pretend to be someone—or something—we’re not just to gain society’s approval?In this episode, Ixchel and Lucero explore the psychology behind performative behavior. From sharing good deeds, announcing political stances, and using language to show we’re aware or “woke”—and what that might say about how we measure our own worth.Building on a previous episode about living in the moment, they reflect on why we feel compelled to show others who we are, and how much of that comes from wanting recognition or approval. Join The Bitch Up Girlies for an honest conversation about perception, virtue signaling, and the need for validation.
The ghouls are gone and whimsy is in. 🍂After a month of mummies, murderers, and mental breakdowns, the Bitch Up Girlies are done with scary things. In this episode, Ixchel and Lucero tackle a round of whimsy questions instead, which turns out to be just as unhinged. The answers start out silly, then turn surprisingly honest, and the roasting never stops. Expect confessions, hot takes and one very heated pasta debate. Hit play for a chill, chismosa soft landing into the holidays. 🧡Don't forget to Bitch Up!
The Mummy just won't stay dead, and neither will our opinions. For the last episode of Spooktober, Lucero and Ixchel show up in full mummy wrappings to unravel 90 years of mummy movies. They trace the mummy's journey on screen through three films: 1932, 1999, 2026, and settle who played the best mummy, who wins a mummy face-off, and whether we want empathetic monsters or pure chaos.
Lucero and Ixchel revisit Matthew Lewis’s scandalous Gothic classic The Monk, comparing the novel with the 2011 film adaptation starring Vincent Cassel. Together, they explore religious horror, repression, temptation, and the corruption of sacred authority and consider why the story still feels strikingly modern in its critique of hypocrisy, patriarchy, and unchecked power within religious institutions.
Carrie, Blood, and Female Rage...in this episode, Lucero and Ixchel discuss Carrie across Stephen King’s novel, the 1976 and 2013 films, and the new series. They unpack how each version portrays bullying, trauma, religious control, female rage, and Carrie’s agency, including the series’ modern themes of cyberbullying and school violence. The conversation wraps with prom stories and a debate over whether Carrie’s story is a cautionary tale, a story of liberation, or both.
Ixchel and Lucero explore incel horror through Don’t Worry Darling, Companion, and Obsession. The scariest thing in these films isn’t the monster—it’s the man who thinks he deserves you.Together, they unpack the chilling pattern: control dressed up as love, women treated like objects, and entitlement hiding behind the “nice guy” act. The films show how misogyny and objectification play out in relationships, technology, and social expectations—and why this horror feels uncomfortably close to real life, reflecting real concerns about women’s safety and autonomy.
The final girl is the one who makes it out alive—but does that make her a feminist icon? Grab your popcorn (and maybe a weapon) as Lucero and Ixchel kick off Bitch Up’s Halloween series with a fun, sharp look at horror’s most famous survivor.From Laurie Strode to Grace, Pearl, and Maxine, they track how the final girl has gone from “be careful and stay pure” to “actually, I have a plan—and possibly a chainsaw.” Along the way, they unpack the male gaze, female rage, class, sexuality, and what it means to survive a slasher on your own terms.So… is being a final girl feminist? The answer gets messier—and way more interesting—than just making it to the credits.
Safe, stable love is supposed to feel good, so why do so many of us keep reaching for the kind that hurts?In this episode, Ixchel and Lucero connect the dots between religion, pop culture, nostalgia, codependency, and the urge to make one person your everything. What starts as a conversation about toxic relationships becomes a surprisingly sharp look at how Catholicism teaches sacrifice, suffering, guilt, and redemptive pain—and how those ideas can shape the way we chase love, loss, and emotional intensity. You’ll discover:Why “sacrifice” can blur into self-erasure in relationshipsHow Catholic mysticism, saints, penance, and crucifixion shape our emotional languageWhy melancholic personalities often feel deeply, ruminate hard, and crave meaningHow pop culture sells obsession as romance, from Twilight to teen telenovelasThe difference between healthy devotion and love that quietly becomes a trapThis episode is for anyone who has confused intensity with intimacy, found themselves romanticizing chaos, or wondered why peace can sometimes feel boring when they’ve been taught that love should be dramatic. The real challenge isn’t feeling deeply—it’s learning how to hold that depth without letting it consume you.
