Mutually Assured Destruction

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/06/29

Despite no real strong feelings about the episode or the season as a whole, this season 4 finale gets fiery between your hosts and judges! Legacies, satisfying winners, and the concept of iconic freestyles are all discussed, because of course, it’s a finale. We swear it’s better than this description makes it sound.

The One Where Ian Gets a Therapist

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/06/22

As the Oracle predicted, we have a great time talking about weeks 8 and 9 of DWTS' fourth season! The season is finally picking up steam, but is it too little, too late for Chris and Katy? Maybe, but it has to get better after the loss of a dancer who should not have come close to Week 8. And believe us when we say- it does get better, with a fabulous semi-finals full of mostly spectacular dances and one life coach.

DanceCenter and Déjà Vu

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/06/15

LIIIIIIIIIIVE and in-person, it's a new episode of JMP! Chris and Katy are in the same room together for the first time in forever, and definitely for the first time of the pod. There’s good, there’s great, and there’s being in person! We get to discuss, for the first time, the perfection that is DanceCenter. On the flip side, we have a group swing to discuss - and it might be worse than a group disco. Katy has a great solution to all of Ian’s dancing woes. Chris declares himself fully in love with

The Real Housewives Recap Hour

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/06/08

If you would like to take Katy on a date, please text 515- wait, no. Don’t do that. Anyway, this episode is filled with dances as hot as Chris’ apartment. Welcome to the Real Housewives “hour” where if you’re a Housewives fan, you’re in for a real treat of references; if you’re not, eat some bread and settle in for a fun episode. We mention it all - the judges’ harsh criticism, Edyta being the star of the season, how we would pettily take off points for no samba rolls, and so much more. The only

Math Heads

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/06/01

Accent work abounds as Chris and Katy discuss the most international DWTS cast yet! Despite struggles right out the gate with addition, we promise - we know what we’re talking about! We rank the great legs of DWTS history. Chris forces Katy to handle all the segues even if she is... horrific at them. We muse over Clyde’s height hurdles, the difficulty of Heather’s choreography, Edyta’s star status, and finally two Chmerkovskiys! This episode truly has it all. Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod or on

Master BRC

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/05/25

It’s a new season of Dancing with the Stars, and we’re feeling refreshed after that long off-season break! In an episode filled with cha-chas and foxtrots, we find ourselves gushing over a few surprising celebrities. While one contestant draws some well-deserved similarities to Master P, another falls a little short of the Stacey Kiebler legs they are expected to fill. Katy is, naturally, already head over heels for a celebrity and Chris remains (surprisingly?) cautiously optimistic towards

Our New Co-Host (with Special Guest Samantha Harris)

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/05/18

On a Very Special JMP, journalist-TV host-overall busy woman Samantha Harris stops by for a quick chat! She's ready to talk about her surprising history with the show, balancing her time with hosting and everything else in her life (and we mean EVERYTHING else), her camaraderie with Emmy-winner Tom Bergeron, and of course her jive. It is a whirlwind, and also a delight. We know you'll enjoy it, even if your regular podcast hosts aren't professional question-askers like Samantha Harris. Follow us on

Chris and Katy play two games- one is great, the other one is a game that we played. Join us as we say goodbye to season 3 of Dancing with the Stars and look ahead to magical things to come in season 4! Is there more that can be said? Maybe, but why not just listen?

Katy's Choosing Violence Today

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/05/04

It has all come down to this. Fun vs. technique. Twinkle Toes vs. Super Mario. It's a finale that splits our loyalties, but we can all agree that it's one of the best finals that DWTS ever produced. Over the course of the hour, Katy elects to take the path of hatred, while Chris displays how to be a gracious loser in the face of poor sportsmanship.

The Ghost of Karina Smirnoff

2021/04/27

It's the best Dancing with the Stars may have ever been, as the third season comes barreling to a close. The final four give us a spooktacular set of Halloween dances, although one leaves us saying "Boo!" Chris and Katy investigate how to make a dance Halloween-themed, and they're ready to give Emmitt and Cheryl notes. Then it's time for the semi-finals, where one of the incredible trio must go home. Would you believe that it leaves Chris and Katy in awe? Not speechless, just in awe. They have lots

The Twinkle Toes Express

2021/04/20

The fabulous final five of season three go head-to-head this week, and Chris and Katy are here to break it all down. We have so much to discuss - no elimination in week 6, a group Disco, and Katy declares herself all in on a contestant (and it’s not a surprise). Mario continues to be consistently SO good. We finally get a samba roll again, and a sexy rumba prompts a game of how often a person can say sexy. Katy is brought to literal tears, and Chris begins to understand how the judges feel when they

In an episode filled with shock and awe, Katy and Chris address serious issues.Get prepared as we enter into a string of absolutely fire episodes of Dancing with the Stars. We continue to petition Joey Lawrence and Edyta Sliwinska to be forever dance partners, because they are #perfection. Katy gets a little dramatic about the lack of samba rolls (to nobody’s surprise). Chris gives a free lesson in faking how to roll R’s. We continue to dislike rumbas and overly produced packages (we are NOTHING if

I'm in Love with a Springer

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/04/06

This week we’re breaking all the rules! The lift police and the Bureau of Broken Holds have to go to war against the contestants who should know better. Chris and Katy struggle to critique mambos because they have no idea what they are (but at the very least, they know “Bop to the Top” is an appropriate song choice). And before we say goodbye to two expected stars, both hosts fall in love with a most unexpected dancer. Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod or on Facebook at Just Meaningful Plastic Podcast

Vivica A. Foxtrot

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/03/30

For the first episode of DWTS's third season, Katy and Chris are back in fine form. There is a love for the female pros (especially Cheryl, Edyta, and Kym Legs-for-Days Johnson). There is a distaste for sob story packages, especially involving bus accidents. There are Emmitt Smith hot taeks. There are disappointments and surprises galore. There is a general thirsting over hot people. Just an ordinary day back on Planet Mirrorballus. Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod or on Facebook at Just Meaningful

America's Sweetheart (with Special Guest Ashly Costa)

2021/03/23

On a Very Special JMP, the dancer formerly known as A spills all the tea on P! Ashly Costa (née DelGrosso), Katy's new best friend, talks all about her wild journeyon the show, detailing her many partners (including some secret ones nobody knows about), the roller coaster that was season 2, her role as a dancer and educator, and how the packages get made. There's so much more, but most of all the sweetest spitfire of the ballroom is here to remind everyone why we love her. Follow us on Twitter

Katy's Nightmare

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/03/09

Unfortunately for everyone, it's a disco inferno this week as we discuss the season 2 finale of Dancing with the Stars. Unlike in the finale itself, Chris and Katy have no time to mess about and get right down to business. Katy gets what she deserves as Chris sort of comes around on Jerry Rice, only to watch her beloved Stacy Keibler crash and burn. And in the most shocking turn of events, their opinions on Drew Lachey's freestyle are... not going to be spoiled in the description! So save that

The Rumble

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2021/03/02

In one corner, we have Chris, who is here to take down Jerry Rice and Katy, who he sees as the defender of the 49er. In the other corner, we have Katy, who is not here to defend Jerry but is being forced to anyway. It's a masterpiece of a marathon fight night, spanning episodes 6 and 7 of DWTS' second season. Also, other things are discussed, but who's really here for Drew, Stacy, Lisa, or George? The fight over the Rice man cometh! Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod or on Facebook at Just Meaningful

Mind Your Ps and Zoos

2021/02/23

This week we dive into episodes 4 and 5 of season 2, and go wildly off the rails. At long last, our national nightmare is over (in 2006). But before we get to an ignoble farewell to a man who did not want to be there, we have so much to discuss. We debate who the REAL bad boy of the ballroom is, and we both continue to heavily defend Tia and Jerry against the slander of our cohost counterparts. Most importantly, Edyta and George take a trip to the zoo! Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod or on Facebook at

At What Cost, Master P?

2021/02/16

Remember when we had nice things to say about Master P? What a journey it's been since then. Anyway, this week we discuss episodes 2 and 3 of season 2! There is so much shock and awe to discuss this episode- but perhaps the most shocking is that Chris... actually... likes... rumbas? Katy still hates it. We discuss the fine line couples must walk between playful banter and uncomfortable tension, gush over teeny tiny Drew Lachey, share our mutual love of Stacey Keibler, and discuss the sophistication
