The Boroughs, The Ponytail & Shapewear Cartels?
This week on COCOISM, Boots and Coco enter the full COCOSPHERE : Hacks, Obsession, The Boroughs taking over Netflix, Jena Malone’s sci-fi folk era, horror movies that ruined road trips forever, and the red carpet ponytail heard around the world. Plus, Boots spills the glam behind Jena’s Boroughs premiere hair, Patricia Velasquez for Et Cetera Journal, Michelle Joy of Cannons, and the sacred art of leaving your ego at the door on set. And yes, somehow Kim Kardashian, shapewear, Mariah Carey, indie horror, coffee shop loyalty, and “Ride the D” all make it into one glorious episode. Because in the COCOSPHERE , the wigs are tight, the takes are hotter than espresso dust, and we’re always doing too many things together.

Jena Malone Returns: Flowers for Men, Sci-Fi Folk & the Hair Era We Manifested
Jena Malone Returns: Flowers for Men, Sci-Fi Folk & the Hair Era We Manifested Some episodes age beautifully. This one mutated into a whole cinematic universe. Originally recorded in our living room during one of those cozy, chaotic, spiritually charged COCOISM nights, this conversation with actress, musician, poet, mother, creative shapeshifter, and forever icon Jena Malone has officially entered its next era. Since this episode first aired, life got very “sci-fi folk fever dream.” What started as an interview turned into real friendship, real collaboration, and honestly… a full blown hair mythology. From intimate photo shoots to doing hair for Jena’s album cover and first music video single Barstow, to glam for the premiere of her new series The Boroughs, we somehow found ourselves living inside the exact creative energy this episode predicted. And now? We’re reopening the portal. Inside this conversation: analog nostalgia, digital art theory, Donnie Darko reflections, motherhood, sobriety journeys, creativity as survival, horror films, identity shifts, bad bitch hair evolution, and the strange magic of finding your people at the exact right time. At the center of it all is Jena’s new sci-fi folk a Flowers for Men — a project that feels both earthly and interdimensional. Soft but dangerous. Intimate but cinematic. Like transmission tapes from another emotional dimension. So light the fireplace. Put on the oversized coat. Cue the synths. Open the portal. This is COCOISM. And this is the Jena Malone hair era we manifested.

Love Trapped: Is This the Wildest Dating Scandal Yet?
Boots Bueno and Coco Alexander Bueno sit down with Stephani Young, host and producer of the gripping true crime podcast Love Trapped, to unpack the wild story pulling listeners into a maze of dating, allegations, legal battles, online detectives, courtroom audio, and questions nobody can stop asking. Stephani takes us behind the scenes of building a true crime series in real time — from sleepless nights and hundreds of emails to court documents, emotional triggers, fact-checking, legal review, and the responsibility of telling a story that is still unfolding. We get into Clayton Echard, Laura Owens, the other men connected to the case, the power of community, what the legal system reveals about relationships, and why this story feels bigger than one person. Plus, Boots and Coco enter their own chaotic revenge-era confessional moment, because apparently nobody leaves this table without a little mess. If you’re gagging, confused, and slightly concerned… welcome to the trap.

Don’t Go Into the Woods: Hunting Matthew Nichols with Miranda & Lucy
Boots Bueno and Coco Alexander Bueno are joined by Miranda MacDougall and producer Lucy McNulty to talk all things Hunting Matthew Nichols — the haunting indie horror film that had us hooked from the jump. We get into found footage fear, the making of the movie, behind-the-scenes chaos, creative connection, and why horror still hits so hard. Plus: “Redrum Redrum,” survival strategies, spooky confessions, and a love letter to independent film. And since it’s Coco’s birthday… we’re celebrating the only man who would willingly walk into the woods, ignore every red flag, and still think he’s making it out alive — our delusional, dramatic, horror-obsessed birthday diva. We love you down.

Deadloch, Darling? Chaos, Cath & the Queer Crime We Needed
Spoiler alert, sweeties — we’re spilling a little Deadloch tea… sip responsibly. This week on COCOISM, Boots and Coco step into the wild, chaotic, and deeply human world of Deadloch with the brilliant Alicia Gardiner. From Cath’s fast-talking, big-hearted chaos to the show’s bold queer storytelling, this conversation dives into what makes Deadloch feel so real — and so necessary right now. Alicia opens up about building Cath from the ground up, filming in the intense Australian wilderness (yes, crocodiles included), and why audiences are connecting so deeply to a character rooted in love, community, and moral fire. We get into: – The evolution from Season 1 to Season 2 – The power of queer-led storytelling – Representation that actually means something – The balance of comedy, truth, and chaos – And why we might all need a little more Cath energy in our lives Plus… we ask the real question: Do we need to start a Season 3 campaign? (Answer: yes.) Hosts: Coco Alexander Bueno and Boots Bueno

Prison Break & the Saboteurs?
In this episode of COCOISM, hosts Boots Bueno and Coco Alexander Bueno get real about self-love, inner battles, and the stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck. Because sometimes… the biggest thing standing in your way isn’t the world—it’s you. From confronting the inner saboteur to finding clarity, confidence, and community, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to grow through the messy parts of life. The ones where doubt creeps in, fear gets loud, and you have to decide—am I evolving… or am I escaping? And of course, in true Cocoism fashion, we couldn’t help but spiral (just a little) into the cultural chaos—yes, we’re talking Jen Shah, prison release energy, and what a “prison break” really means in our own lives

The Queer Mirror? Masculinity, Fear & Representation
Boots Bueno and Coco Alexander Bueno are joined by marriage and family therapist Tiffany Totah for a powerful roundtable conversation on queer representation, masculinity, fear, and identity. Why does queer representation matter so deeply? Can communities unintentionally recreate the same pressures they were trying to escape? What happens when masculinity becomes something people feel forced to prove instead of something they simply live? Together, they unpack visibility, shame, family systems, social media, hyper masculinity, sensitivity, misogyny, and the healing that becomes possible when people choose reflection over fear. Tiffany brings clinical insight, while Boots and Coco bring lived experience, heart, and honesty to one of their most layered conversations yet. This episode is about being seen, being softer, being stronger, and learning how to show up with more love—for yourself and for others. Hosts: Boots Bueno and Coco Alexander Bueno
