Don't Forget the Chickpeas
A Pretty Little Liars rewatch podcast about the things we love & hate about the show, everything queer we can possibly discuss, the best & worst outfits, the best & worst parents, our love for Heather Hogan, and chickpea recipes! (twitter: @chickpeas_pod)
This podcast is hosted by Cameron (she/her) and Deepa (no pronouns). We have been friends for over a decade, and PLL has been a core part of our friendship basically since the beginning. Now that we are back to being long-distance friends, we're rewatching PLL together and sharing our commentary!

Don't Forget the Chickpeas
Episodes 3.02 & 3.03: "You Are A Lousy Kisser"
Today we cover episodes 3.02, “Blood is the New Black”, and 3.03, “Kingdom of the Blind”. No one will be surprised but it’s just more ableism! We hate everyone! Wren has daddy issues, Hanna is incredibly violent, Lucas is a bad boy now, Aria loves the cops, and, unfortunately, Ezra still exists. Thank god for Melissa and Meredith’s highjinks to bring some levity to these episodes! Our bar for Emily's fashion is so low, and also, Mona should sing more.
READ THE REST OF THE SHOW NOTES HERE!
Content notes: Apart from stuff in PLL itself, which we don’t usually warn for, we discuss familial violence towards disabled people from 10:20 to 10:49, and addiction, suicide, and ableism in Hedda Gabler and Ethan Frome from 49:45 to 55:53.
