Hosted by Jamie Peck and Sam Beard · EN

Sam has been AWOL for the summer and he offers us a peek into why. He has been traveling around Asia solo, visiting Japan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand. Hear about his escapades as he visits Buddhist temples, tropical Islands and the densest urban neighborhood on planet earth. Deep in the jungle of Southern Thailand, what are the karaoke bars like? Did Sam end up visiting the Great Wall of China? Did the Communist Party of China's propaganda museum work on him? And what does Sam hope he can learn from Buddhist tendencies from the other side of the world? All of this and more on this week's special, informal episode. Sam says he misses the Party Girls family very much and will be back in August!

Jamie gets some of the LA gang (Jake Flores, Lena NW) back together to talk about writer/director Curry Barker's runaway hit 'Obsession,' in which an incel dude makes a wish that violates his female friend's consent. What's going on with young people today such that this movie is speaking to them so deeply? Is it something new, or the same old horror? And what does any of this have to do with Luigi Mangione? The gang expounds.

Jamie is joined by honorary party girl Maxelle Talena, of the Dysphoria podcast, to talk of many things. Women over 40 are having more babies than teenagers for the first time in US history, for both good and bad reasons. The cyclospora outbreak is ruining summer for salad people. Heroes are tracking and disabling Flock surveillance cameras in cities across the country. Haha, Lindsey Graham died and now we get to hear his gay sex secrets. What's up with those gross kratom drinks they sell at the gas station? Plus: Maxelle talks about her mom.

Jarrod Shanahan joins us to discuss his latest book, "Every Fire Needs A Little Bit Of Help: A Decade Of Rebellion, Reaction, And Morbid Symptoms," out now on PM Press. After some fond reminiscing, Jarrod discusses his writing practice and how he incorporates criticism of cultural products like Hellraiser, Mad Max, and The Walking Dead into his work and life. We also get Jarrod's take on a number of issues of the day, including organizational forms, the recent DSA victories, and those darling sweethearts who climbed the Empire State Building. Plus: did Lil' Wayne write the most honest prison memoir of all time?

Jamie is joined by Jensen, an activist who was on the ground for the most intense portion of the anti-ICE actions at the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, NJ. They discuss the history of the privately-run GEO group facility and how it developed to this point of crisis. What tactics were used by prisoners inside the facility and protesters outside, and what limits did they come up against? The feckless behavior of local Democrats like Newark mayor Ras Baraka. The implications of state repression. And why is migrant defense a strategic area for revolutionaries to intervene in?

Jamie is joined by Terry, an anonymous fellow traveler, to discuss the news, including: the latest billionaire space rocket explosion and why we need to keep our attention on Earth. The anti-ICE protests both inside and outside of the privately run Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ, which, as of publication, show no signs of letting up. Between the flaming barricades, a sitting Senator getting pepper sprayed by ICE, and Greg Bovino threatening to "handle it himself," Delaney is becoming a key flashpoint in the fight against Trump's deportation machine. What can we learn? Plus: Trump talks shit to Netanyahu.

Friend of the show Sophie Weiner joins Jamie for a hybrid Cultural Marxism/news ep. Up top: the new musical "Cats: the Jellicle Ball" (it's good), the latest attempt to assassinate Trump (if we can even call it that) and the battle to free the Park Slope Food Coop from Zionist control (the anti-Zionists won!). In the second half we discuss Boots Riley's new film "I Love Boosters," an eye-popping tale of shoplifting, teleportation, union drives, dialectics, and...a demon who sucks your soul out through your pussy? It do be like that sometimes. Boots Riley, come on Party Girls.

It's Sam's last episode for three whole months! To see him off on his backpacking trip through Asia and Europe, the PG crew covers some good news, like the Luigi Mangione legal fund hitting $1.5 million [Jamie already talked about this with Tony, but she forgot], Idris Robinson getting his job back, and Green Scare victim Marius Mason's release from prison. In other backpack-related news, some of the evidence collected from Luigi's backpack will be suppressed while two key pieces, the gun and the notebook, will not be. We go over the shadiness of the missing bodycam footage. The crew also discuss Sam's reasons for taking a break from the internet and Jamie's missed connection, and Jamie wishes Sam a happy birthday. Skip to 30:00 if you don't care about our lives and just want to hear about the news.
