    Pitty Party Preview: 1:00 pm

    2026/02/25 | 11 mins.
    NOTE: This episode discusses a case involving sexual assault beginning around 28:50 (right after the conversation about Jasper) and ending at 35:38 (right before the boating propeller injury). Feel free to skip this part of the podcast if that’s best for you.

    Welcome back to Pitty Party! In this episode, Marcelle, Zoe, and Gaby dig into two main plot points: a case involving a sexual assault survivor and Robby and Langdon’s long-awaited confrontation. They also discuss Dr. Abbot’s return, check in on some recurring patients, and, to keep it fun, get into some shipping discourse.

    We’ll be back next week to talk all about season 2, episode 8, 2:00 PM.

    Wuthering Heights x The Promise of Happiness with Zoe Mix

    2026/02/24 | 1h 6 mins.
    If you've been following the *discourse,* you know that Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" is a divisive film! So of course, we had to watch it and try to make sense of its turbulent place in the zeitgeist. Rather than ask if the film is a "good" or "bad" adaptation, Marcelle leads us in an episode about marriage as a marker and maker of happiness, our collective imagination around Emily Brontë's source material, Heathcliff as romantic hero, and the lure of the abject. This episode is for the lovers, the haters and the die-hard Sara Ahmed heads!
