Oh good, another episode where adulthood is optional and nostalgia is mandatory. This week on Secretly Timid: Meg survives Portland — yes, the land of artisanal toast and ironic rain — and reports back with travel tips you’ll never use but will nod at seriously. We mock-admire Linda Fiorentino’s career, celebrating her peak-of-cool indie vibes like it’s 1994 and we actually have opinions that matter. Then, because balance is important, we get weirdly fascinated by Ma Barker — crime mom or mythic villain? Spoiler: it’s messy and a little ridiculous. Finally, the hosts play tourist at Goonies filming spots, re-enacting childhood trauma and yelling “Truffle shuffle” for the laughs.

Featured song of the week: “Kiss Off” — The Dandy Warhols. Blast it and pretend you’re disaffected.
