While crafting bracelets inspired by Vegas weddings, video games, and bi awakenings, Jess opens up about:- Loving horror movies (but not necessarily believing in ghosts)- Film nerd life (from Dario Argento screenings to watching a movie a day)- Canceling a 2020 wedding and pivoting to a spontaneous Vegas ceremony- Bisexual awakenings courtesy of Aladdin, The Mummy, Rocky Horror, and Jessica Rabbit- Watching Dropout grow from scrappy survival mode to Hollywood Bowl-level phenomenon- Crying at a Tim Curry appearance and listening to his autobiography like he’s a personal friend Plus, there’s a rapid-fire round featuring Power Rangers, comfort movies, hot takes vs. hot gossip, and a very important banana bracelet reveal. And every bracelet made during this episode will be available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Jess’s chosen charity. Remember, every bracelet has a story, and every story helps a cause.
