Smart Girls At The Party Podcast Review
I’m a big fan of Amy Poehler. I think she’s adorable and funny and adorable. Plus, she’s married to Gob from Arrested Development. Anytime I see Amy Poehler in anything that is readily available to me, I partake. What of hers did I partake in most recently? “Smart Girls At The Party.”
“Smart Girls At The Party” is a podcast starring pregnant Amy Poehler. She is joined by two other pregnant women, Meredith and Amy (another Amy, not Amy Poehler), who may or may not be her friends. Each episode, pregnant Amy (Poehler, not the other one) talks with a little girl about some stuff. Sometimes they talk about Yoga, other times about feminism, other times sisterhood. Stuff like that. It’s fun, funny, and possibly meaningful.
Did I mention it’s sponsored by Barbie? It kind of makes the whole thing almost unwatchable. The podcast is prefaced and ended with awkward Barbie nostalgia commercials, which may or may not negate the entire message. I’m not sure.
Anyway, the best part of the show is when they end the talk with a “dance party,” a la Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, and splice in footage of Gob and Kristin Wiig dancing, as if we couldn’t tell that it’s the same footage each time. Uh, dudes, we can totally tell it’s the same footage, ok.
The show’s also cool because it has pregnant women in it, and sometimes they look pretty terrifying, but sometimes totally, you know, like, woah, hello. You know what I’m saying?
Verdict: Cute, watchable, possibly ironic?
