Episode: A Soap Opera Romance That Started With An Assault
Why: Hosts Susie and Jess are on a mission to dissect the wild world of "General Hospital" in this episode, but it's not just about soap opera drama. They're diving deep into the social and cultural implications of the story. Whether you're a media critic or just curious about how pop culture shapes our views on love and relationships, this episode is a gem. It's like having a chill, late-night convo with your friends, but with a side of brainy analysis.
