Show Notes
Iconic podcaster Bridget Todd joins Molls to talk about the 2018 sci-fi romance Zoe and her new audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, exploring what artificial intelligence could mean for love, friendship, sex, and human connection. We also meet Bridget’s co-author, Michael Amato, and Molly shares the wild story of her recent experience being catfished by someone she thought was a great friend. And Lifetime? We're going to need you to get an AI movie in the works STAT because you might be the only people who could make a movie about the topic that wont send Molly spiraling about the future.
From IMDb:
A story about how synthetic humans can feel and even love and how the people they are involved with react to this concept.

Rob and Kate from Vanderpump Robs and authors of the upcoming book Reality TV is The Devil (And Don't You Forget It): The Unofficial Vanderpump Rules Story join Molls to talk about the most parasocial fan of all time, SWIMFAN!
The Real Queen of Recaps, Lyndsay Lime, joins Molls to talk about Lifetime's 2008 "boys will boys" flick, Dead at 17. You might know Lyndsay from her podcast Recap Rodeo, or from Reddit and Instagram, where she posts perfectly detailed recaps of pretty much every podcast related to the Vanderpump Rules cast. She got so many of us through Scandoval!
In the midst of absolutely freaking out because they'd discovered the truth about who they thought was a good friend, Molls and Scoot bravely reunited over the course of three nights to record this episode of Mother, May I Sleep With Podcast? that's also an episode of PL(O)L, specifically S3E18.
Um, are the Brits f*cking mocking us? Maybe! If so, they're pretty bloody good fantastic at it. Molly's partner in life and crime, Eric Moneypenny (Adult Swim, FOX ADHD, The Midnight Show, AOK), joins the show this week to discuss "A Working Mother's Worst Nightmare," a 2019 mystery/thriller "based in Los Angeles" despite being shot entirely in London, UK, with British actors playing Americans. Other topics include: Eric's Argo audition, new insight into Pigeon, sketch comedy, and Hulu's Tell Me Lies.
Showrunner, writer, producer, 9/11 survivor (?!), and Molls' longtime friend, Rob Anderson, joins the pod to talk about a TV movie that hit SO freakin hard (and was directed by Mickey Dolenz of The Monkee's). Amongst the chatter about this surprisingly layered and twisty film, Rob and Molls also touch on topics like locking eyes with a rival during a moment of unspeakable tragedy and chaos, accommodating a cat's desires in a coyote-heavy city, the breakup advice Rob once gave Molly, and Skyrizzi.
