We’re back! Ellen went to her first musical festival so it is only fair that we share our dream 2000s festival lineups. Side note, Hilary Duff decided to tour Australia when Pip is going to be in China and it feels like a personal attack.

We went to a Scooby Doo (2002 & 2004) double feature at the cinema and we're here to tell the tale - well at least half of it in Part 1. Ellen frothed over a young Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred and Pip cried at Shaggy and Scooby - typical. Also on this episode we look at Hilary Duff's new music, the Jonas Brother's Christmas Movie and dissect our Spotify playlists.

Massive spoiler alert for ALL Final Destination films ahead. Well well well, if it isn’t the little thing called life coming back to get in the way. We had hopes of starting Season 2 back in August - so this episode was recorded then - but we realised that was too ambitious with our combined schedules. Alas, like Eminem, we’re back again and ready to kick off the new season. In this episode we share the goss on topics ranging from JoJo Siwa (Ellen does a fantastic impression) to the accidental North American tour of the haunted Annabelle doll. Most importantly, we dive DEEP into the Final Destination franchise where we discuss the best deaths of the series and rank the films. This was a super long episode, so we have split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Wow we’re trash! But like trash, we never die, so we’re back with a new episode. Pip was in a play, and life was busy in general, but we dive deep into Hilary Duff lore along with her filmography - Cadet Kelly is actually the first gay Disney film (confirmed by us)! We also discuss Nick Jonas being buddies with Elon Musk (?), the Jojo Siwa at Birdcage scandal and Pip being a certified vape hater. To round it all off, we yap about which musicians we’d love to see perform on ice (skating, not the drug). Ps. Pip forgot to hit record on their device so the sound is hella iffy for the first minutes (forgive us please) Follow the podcast on: Instagram @2000andl8_podcast Tiktok @2000.and.l8 Song of the week playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RBhRnLgHEnxi99orjEv1x?si=2eac07b896ad4f24
Pip was overseas and Ellen was in Definitely NOT a Hungry Game: A Parody Musical but now we’re both BACK! In this episode we catch up on A LOT of 2000s news and then go off on tangents (we digress). Pip is on the OG home and away side of tiktok, Ellen is passionate about the George Lopez show and we bring up Sabrina Carpenter and High School Musical yet again - we should turn it into a recurring segment at this point. To round off the episode, we talk about the celebrities who would give the best hugs - Shaquille O’Neal anyone?

We’re back! Again! This time Ellen had a show at Sydney Comedy Festival and Pip was her trusty sidekick so alas, podcast release dates shifted. On this week’s episode we chat about all things music - from Lana Del Rey’s surprise guest at Coachella to Taylor Swift’s lyricism - chocolate bars and cigarettes etc. etc. Ellen discovers that Chad Michael Murray was in Freaky Friday and Pip has a stern conversation about public holiday surcharges. To round off the episode we review the candid, funny and surprisingly good memoir by Josh Peck - Happy People Are Annoying. Note: There is a slight volume jump for a few seconds at 14.45. You’ve been warned xoxo Follow the podcast on: Instagram @2000andl8_podcast Tiktok @2000.and.l8 www.youtube.com/@2000andL8 Song of the week playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RBhRnLgHEnxi99orjEv1x?si=2eac07b896ad4f24
Hope you didn’t miss us too much, we had a slight break but we’re back! On this week’s episode Ellen confuses Rupert Grint with Rupi Kaur and Pip has a sexuality crisis. We dive into 2000s magazine horoscopes (boho vibes anyone?), discuss men on dating apps (boys, keep your ‘icks’ in until at least the second date) and getting your hair done in a cost of living crisis. Can we bring back the 2000s hair appointment prices, pretty please? To wrap things up we partake in some Hannah Montana quizzes, where we find out if Ellen is truly a great friend.
Can you believe it’s been 20 years since the greatest sequel of all time was released? Yes, we’re talking about Shrek 2. On this week’s episode, Pip and Ellen talk “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars, our love for knick knacks and Kenny Ortega. Ellen also talks Pip down from buying a slime showbag at the Easter Show and explains the lore of Vanderpump Rules. We round off the episode by reading the Hannah Montana: Backstage Pass book and questioning all of Miley Stewart’s life choices (stop going back to Jake, we beg).

Big news! Pip and Ellen finally attended a concert TOGETHER. On this week’s episode, Pip and Ellen recount the experience that was THE Jonas Brothers concert (Lovebug was elite). Pip goes into depth on her beef with all three brothers wearing the same coloured shirt on stage (she couldn’t see them) and Ellen wants to have a stern word with Ticketek. We also discuss Jesse McCartney’s new song (flaky pastry vagina?) and the bonkers Willy Wonka experience!

We finally managed to get the old Taylor to answer the phone (phew!). On this week’s episode, we reminisce on the Eras’ Tour and our favourite memories of Taylor Swift from the 2000s (Becky we see you). We also discuss the texture of Taylor’s hair, young kids listening to true emo music (Olivia Rodrigo), Kanye West losing Pip as a fan and analysing celebrities’ choice to be apolitical.

In this episode we cheers to our improved sound quality and analyse Mean Girls (2024) where we talk all things costuming, song choices and casting. Ellen and Pip are reunited after Ellen’s month in the United States of America, and she tells us all about it, including the time she cried at Rachel Bloom (Rachel if you see this, she’s not crazy we swear). If you listen closely, we are 2-for-2 of Pip hating on Kyle Sandilands and Ellen also gets to practice her Elvis gibberish.

Welcome to 2000 and L8. In this episode (recorded in December 2023) we discuss the things that would NOT be brought back from the 2000s. On our journey to get there, we end up accidentally deep-diving into half of the cast of Hairspray, advocate for the Jerry Train-assaince (put him on the stage!), and ask every celebrity to be a guest on our podcast. If you listen closely, you’ll hear about Ellen’s (slightly) delulu dream to be in the next Hunger Games movie and the story of Pip cracking a glow stick in their eye whilst watching High School Musical.
