  • Episode 231 - Jessimae Peluso
    Sep 24 2024

    Jessimae Peluso lives out her italian nonna dreams this week at Breaking Bread. She declares that Sofia Loren is the perfect woman and that nobody should be afraid to age—or become a witch. Jessimae and Tom talk about a mirror that shows your true reflection that is conveniently and ironically located in the museum of illusions. Being a comic means going to Omaha when you need money and being up to date on pop culture references like “rizz.” The duo also take time to recount some of film’s brightest and beloved classics like “The Electric Grandmother” and “Harry and the Hendersons.”
