Airplanes & Lifeboats: Recent Episodes
Lucinda Rosen
Take a deep dive into pop culture and personal ramblings with Alicia (frog) and Lucinda (goose)! Here, we'll explore our favorite pieces of media, judge society, introduce existential questions, and do absolutely whatever we think is fun!
If you want to get to know us, this is the place. Guests will be brought on. Educational specials will happen. Opinions will be shattered. Viewer engagement is key, so interact with us on IG: @airplanes_lifeboats. Thanks for listening!
Alicia is back to discuss the upcoming season--summer! It's here and preparations are underway (or should be). She talks about her summer plans and how listeners can involve themselves this summer, especially as it's a /last/ summer for many. How do you plan to spend the summer?
We discuss our hope for the future, realistic or less so. Thinking about college and the paralyzing infiniteness that could be the future has us questioning what we really want out of life. We go over bucket list items, careers, where we want to live, etc. What do you wish for--and, more importantly, are you willing to work for it?
We discuss friendship in all its forms--from the basics of friendship to how it has evolved over our lifetimes. We cover our personal histories of friends from Pre-K all the way to what we think they will look like after college, as well as touching on a few key questions. What does friendship even mean? What values do we personally look for in friendship (or what makes us turn away)? Are internet friends legit? Was middle school really THAT bad?
We return to discuss what the winter holidays mean to us. What traditions did we have growing up? How is Christmas different this year? Are real trees really better than fake ones? To all our listeners, happy holidays from frog & goose!
We watch Neil Jordan's 1994 film adaptation of Anne Rice's novel of the same name, starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, & Antonio Banderas. Watch the movie before listening, or listen and decide if it's worth your time! If you like vampires and horrific period pieces, this one is it.
We discuss what made our childhoods unique--from early interests to siblings, there's things that have left an impact on who we are today!
We discuss what it means to be pretty and how looks play into day to day & long term advantages. Who decides what it means to be attractive? How can we overcome physical insecurities? don’t sue us Kylie
We discuss our favorite Disney Princess movies; what makes us fall in love with them, the messages that stand out, and Disney's infamous history of racism. We even go into future princesses we desperately hope will become realities. (Listen closely to hear us not successfully count to 5—we aren't STEM kids.)
We discuss how religion played a part in our childhoods and how we view it now. What is the afterlife like? Do we believe in ghosts? Are horoscopes real?
PSA: Lucinda does not condone sacrificing children.
Special guest Elena Brosnan joins us in trying to sweep the cobwebs out of our brains for one of our favorite love/hate series of all time, GoT! Play along with us in deciding whether or not to marry Ed Sheeran, aka "unnamed Lannister Solider." Even if you haven't seen the show, maybe this will convince you to [not] watch it. Redheads? Lesbians? Riches? These questions and more will be answered.
GoT is a MA show and deals with topics that are often times disturbing, listen with caution
We discuss the value of personality tests, our 16personalities.comTM results, and whether Beyoncé knows her Myers-Briggs type.
