Magic Mike

Some of us Bitch staffers went to see Magic Mike on Friday. (So did a bunch of other people, but weirdly not as many as went to see Ted. WTF?) As we said in our podcast review, we all liked the movie and, though it is just as chocked full o' beefcake as the trailer would have you believe, we were still surprised by a few things.


McConaughey as Uncle Sam? Not all that surprising.

Welcome back to another episode of Bitch Popaganda! Tune in as Andi, Julie, Kristin, and Kelsey discuss the ethics of writing for free, the legacy of Nora Ephron, and the thongs of Magic Mike.

Now, there's no denying that Joe Manganiello is, as Jack Donaghy would say, "keeping it tight." No matter your type, he's an attractive guy with something to offer in the bod department. However, judging by the boners (and ladyboners) the media publicly have for this guy, we may have crossed the border from "He's Hotville" into "Objectificationland." It's like we're taking all of that collective 50 Shades of Grey sexual frustration out on him!


My character's name is "Big Dick" Richie, but you can call me Dick.

The Internet echoed with the sounds of thumpa-thumpa strip club music as the trailer for Steven Soderbergh's hotly anticipated film Magic Mike hit the web last night. Why all the hype?


In case you were wondering.
