Trailer Park Thursday: Physical Media, Women's Power & Modern Witch Hunts
What if your favorite movie scenes are disappearing from streaming platforms? Blane reveals why DVDs aren't just nostalgia—they're your protection against corporate censorship and the Mandela Effect. When streaming services can quietly edit content, physical media becomes the only way to preserve the originals.
This week's Trailer Park Thursday features three incredible women-led podcasts: Empowering Women (a 7-year podcast proving longevity is possible), Women of Impact with Quest Nutrition co-founder Lisa Bilyeu, and Witches of Scotland—a campaign seeking justice for those executed during the witch trials. Coco and Blane unpack a powerful question: why were we taught to fear the witches instead of the people burning them?
From historical persecution to modern success backlash, the conversation explores how exceptional women still face "witch hunt" dynamics. Plus: the magic of DVD menus we'll never get back, why collaboration trumps competition, and Coco's brilliant reframe—"Witch = Woman In Total Control of Herself."

It is parallel frequencies with Just Blane Coco, and all the freqs out there, and there are lots of freqs. Some of them just don't know it yet. Right, Coco? They don't know they're a freq yet, but they are. And this is the place to be.
Courtney Pearl (00:13)
You are. You are. Just like
I say, everybody's a witch. I'm like, you just don't know it yet.
Just Blane (00:18)
Yeah. And today is my favorite.
Yeah, right. Today's my favorite day of the week. Thursday. is trailer park Thursday. And what trailer park Thursday is, is where we play podcast trailers and react to them. We're trying to give you your new favorite podcast. Podcast discovery is what's going on. Before I get to that, though, I was, you know, surfing the Internet's the other day and I saw a comment.
Courtney Pearl (00:24)
Yeah!
Just Blane (00:48)
It wasn't on anything of ours, it was just out there. And it said, random question, are DVDs worth donating anywhere or are we just throwing them away?
Now, sure, we might think DVDs are worthless, okay? They are not. And I'm gonna tell you why you should hang on to your DVDs, you should hang on to your physical media, and that's because, guess what? You hear the Mandela effect. Well, some of that Mandela effect is actually corporations taking out certain things in movies and TV shows that are on the streaming services. So if you have the physical media, guess what?
Courtney Pearl (00:59)
No!
Mmm, yeah.
Just Blane (01:28)
Who can't touch it? The corporations. So you've got the original. Yeah, so hold on to your physical media just in case some censorship laws or something come out and they start removing some of the things that we've seen in movies. I wanna get into the Mandela effect another time, because that's...
Courtney Pearl (01:32)
You've got the OG. Yeah.
yeah, we could go into a whole other realm. But you know what I miss about DVDs? I feel like it's just not as available in other ways. It's DVD extras. I have like the extended version of Moulin Rouge that came with two discs and you could watch like all of the rehearsals that they had put on the extras, know, blooper reels, things like that. I miss that stuff.
Just Blane (01:52)
Totally.
yeah. The minute.
You know what I miss and we don't see? Now I will say that if you buy movies on Apple, once again, Apple's not paying me. They did at one point because I worked for them, but that's okay. But if you have Apple and you buy movies on there, they do have some of the extra scenes and the bonuses. But you know what's missing now that you made me think about this is DVD menus.
Courtney Pearl (02:27)
Yep.
Mm-hmm.
Just Blane (02:45)
There were some of the best, greatest menus ever, and now that's obsolete. We don't even need those anymore.
Courtney Pearl (02:52)
Yeah, yeah, and some of them were so creative. The loop that would play over and over again.
Just Blane (02:55)
I've got
I've got Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey, and the menus for that are incredible. So yeah, hold on to your physical media. Don't let it go. Don't throw it away. If you're going to throw it away, go donate it to the library. Go put it somewhere. Go give it to somebody else that will enjoy it. Am I right? Because that's what we got to do. I try to buy digital, but I also try to get
Courtney Pearl (03:02)
Mmm.
Just Blane (03:27)
Physical copies too. Sure digital is convenient. It's easy and all those things But you got to go get the physical media to video games DVDs movies, whatever it is. I mean blue rays are 4k now. You're not gonna lose any quality Physical media that's where it's at but trailer park Thursday Coco I Love it in this month. We've been focusing on women Because why not right?
Courtney Pearl (03:48)
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just Blane (03:55)
Women need their flowers. There's a lot of great women podcasts out there. And that's what we're gonna go through. And I've got a couple lined up that I'm excited about. And the last one, believe me, I'm telling you right now, Coco, you wanna hang around. Not that you're gonna leave and go anywhere, but you're gonna wanna hang around yourself for this last one, okay? Up until now, Coco's never left the show, so she's not gonna do it either today, but.
Courtney Pearl (04:01)
Mm-hmm.
I'm go.

. you
Just Blane (07:58)
The engineer I love this empowering women podcast now Coco, you might think this is that we're something You know a replay here because she says 2019 That is accurate. This show started in 2019 and their last show came out one day ago This has been going on for seven years. It looks like that's a successful podcast if you ask me
Courtney Pearl (07:59)
Nice! ⁓
keep it going. I love that theme song. It's a banger.
Just Blane (08:28)
I say, yeah, right? Go ahead.
Courtney Pearl (08:28)
And I
was going to ask, empowering women, what about the men? I'm just kidding. That's a joke.
Just Blane (08:37)
Yeah, right. We don't care. We
don't care about the man. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding about that, too.
Courtney Pearl (08:42)
They definitely have had enough ⁓ empowering. We're putting them out there. But this actually reminded me of, I heard Mel the engineer. I thought about how that's kind of, again, like crushing norms of, know, normally when you hear the word engineer, you don't usually think of females doing a job like that, or that's, you know, kind of feels like it breaks the norm. And it reminded me of the scully effect when X-Files came out.
Just Blane (08:47)
Yeah.
Yeah.
Courtney Pearl (09:11)
and showed Scully as a ⁓ medical doctor, a scientist, you know, that kind of thing. There was this surge of young girls growing up watching X-Files and watching Scully that all went into the science field. And I mean, that just goes to show you the influence it has to see people in influential positions, like a television show or women in leadership to have the next generation say, well, then it's possible. If I like that, I can go for it too. That's really powerful, really important.
Just Blane (09:23)
Mmm.
Yeah
big time and Mel the engineer there with the Empowering Women podcast got lots of great resources. Go check her out, go check out that show, go look into some of the resources that she mentioned in that trailer. All great stuff. Let's go ahead and get to the next trailer right here.

Courtney Pearl (13:03)
.
That dialect, that accent made me feel like I was on Ted Lasso again.
Just Blane (13:12)
I
love the accent. The accent is always going to hook me regardless. But the message of what Lisa Ballou, the co-founder of Quest Nutrition, by the way, just kind of casually throw that in there, right? But what a powerhouse, what an incredible sounding podcast, Women of Impact. And they've got tons of episodes.
Courtney Pearl (13:16)
For sure. For sure.
Waaah!
Mm-hmm.
That's what I want to be. I want to be a woman of impact. That's my whole goal in life. Whether it's with prism healing, with practically magic, or here on parallel frequencies. I'm like, I just want to impact the world in a better way. I want people to become the hero of their own story. I think she even said that. That was one of my things I wrote down in my goals is helping people. Yeah, definitely speaking my language.
Just Blane (13:39)
you are.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's another one that people out there got to go subscribe to. It's powerful. She's got some sass to her. I like that. I mean, she started out right out of the gate talking about, listen to this podcast will lead to you feeling like a total bad ass. I believe her. It's believable.
Courtney Pearl (14:19)
Yeah, we all need
that. We need that best friend, that pick-me-up person, the one that goes, yes, you're going through it, but you've been through it before, you know how to dust your pants off and get back on the horse. It's something we all need.
Just Blane (14:36)
All right, I've given you two podcasts already that I know, Coco, that you've added to your list and you've probably thought to yourself, my gosh, this is my new favorite podcast, right?
Courtney Pearl (14:46)
always think that on Thursdays.
Just Blane (14:48)
I'm gonna say this, uh-uh, you're wrong. I got your new favorite one right here and we're gonna fire it off right now. I'm just throwing it out there. I think it will be your favorite. I'm not gonna tell you that, but let's go ahead and listen to it, okay?
Mm-hmm. bringing you this podcast because we want to tell you about the women who were accused, prosecuted, convicted and ultimately executed as witches in
Zoe Venditazzi and I'm a writer who's always had an interest in the witches and I feel that this dark mark against Scotland needs a reckoning.
The campaign Witches of Scotland wants three things. Firstly, a pardon for all those convicted of witchcraft. Secondly, an apology for all those who were accused as witches. And finally, a national monument in recognition of all those who were affected by this terrible miscarriage of justice. Over the forthcoming weeks we'll be talking to a whole host of experts about the history and the modern day connections to the witches of Scotland.
Tell me
that's not right up your alley. First of all, I got a question though.
Courtney Pearl (16:09)
my god.
Just Blane (16:10)
I've got a question and this is sincere, this is real, but why when we're growing up in all this time and even now, why are we taught to fear the witches and not the ones who are burning them?
Courtney Pearl (16:26)
I ask myself that question all the time. And you know what's crazy is when I got really into kind of the history of the perception of witches, the perception of witchcraft, because let me just point out again, I know it's been pointed out 100 million times, but these women
in these trials were literally just women living their lives. Most of them just wanted to find out what their talents were in healing and medicine and in folklore and in helping their community, whatever that looked like, and hold a position of authority in that and to sometimes even just make enough of living to take care of themselves, to be independent or to be able to provide for their families, to provide for themselves.
Just Blane (16:48)
Exactly.
Courtney Pearl (17:14)
And essentially just kind of being a woman of that time period and having and trying to have that was enough to have you accused and killed for witchcraft. So while I openly call myself a witch, many of those women were accused and put to death.
Just Blane (17:22)
Mm-hmm.
Courtney Pearl (17:34)
for just that, just being themselves, just being people, just people. Yeah.
Just Blane (17:37)
For what? For what? Exactly, yeah.
And that's crazy to me. if you looked at it today, it's almost like back then if a woman was, let's just say, better than average, she was a witch. If she was better than average in anything, ⁓ she had to be a witch. Or worse, yeah, or worse.
Courtney Pearl (17:55)
worse if
she's poor or has too much power, if she has too many opinions or she has something ⁓ as in she's inheriting something, she's inheriting land, she's you know, she's gonna have something that's gonna put her in some sort of financial independence. ⁓ She's a target. There's a target on her back. So watch out. Yeah. Yeah.
Just Blane (18:15)
Yeah. I think about
like today, like what would modern, I mean, I know we, still have modern day witch hunts, but if you looked at people who were like better than average, I mentioned Caitlin Clark this week. She's the WNBA. She's, I'm telling you, she's incredible. Is she a witch? Because she's so good. Is she's better than everybody? Like that, that's, if this was 1700s, somebody would say Caitlin Clark's a witch and they try to burn her.
Courtney Pearl (18:25)
Absolutely.
Yeah,
she's getting too powerful. She's getting too influential. She's getting too much attention. She's rising above where generally the society would like her to be. And we absolutely still see that going on today. In fact, I would say that we're in danger of that happening more again than there was. So the witch wound is very much still alive and going. ⁓ yeah, I like to rebrand witch as woman in total control of herself.
Just Blane (18:48)
Yeah.
Courtney Pearl (19:12)
which means that she is in fact a witch. She may not call herself that, but I'm a witch and I think all these powerful women that are around me and that I see, absolutely, we're witches, proud of it. Let's go.
Just Blane (19:25)
I love that. And that's
trailer part Thursday. We gave you three big ones, two with incredible accents. Once again, I love the accent. ⁓ I want to also throw out there that the networking that the other podcast was talking about is so powerful.
Courtney Pearl (19:35)
My favorite.
yeah, yeah, there are empowerment women and women in leadership. ⁓ there's one here in Utah called like the Boss Ladies of Utah. And ⁓ they're doing incredible work at supporting each other and to helping women grown businesses to thrive.
Just Blane (19:53)
Yeah.
And you know what's weird and wild about this is men can actually go too, because I am a frequent resident of women's networking business groups around here, because guess what? I'm not a woman. Those are none of my pronouns that I use, but I do respect women-owned businesses and want to help them grow because I see it helping me grow. And that's what this is all about. It's not men versus women. It's all of us collabing together.
That other podcast said collab big time. That's what that's what we got to do out here. We're not competing. We're collaborating. The people at the bottom compete. The people at the top collaborate. Get to the top people. He is at the top. Am I right? Come see us at the top.
Courtney Pearl (20:31)
Yeah.
Yeah, we're only thriving as a society as our most oppressed and marginalized groups. So if we can help those groups to thrive and become successful, then we are all better for it. We don't hold people down. Yeah.
Just Blane (20:54)
Yeah.
Absolutely right. Go
bottle these podcasts. Follow us at parallel frequencies daily. Ride the wave dot media. You can find a whole bunch of stuff there. We don't plug that enough. Ride the wave dot media. That's the main website.

If I like that, I can go for it too. That's really powerful, really important.

Courtney Pearl (13:03)
.
That dialect, that accent made me feel like I was on Ted Lasso again.
Just Blane (13:12)
I
love the accent. The accent is always going to hook me regardless. But the message of what Lisa Ballou, the co-founder of Quest Nutrition, by the way, just kind of casually throw that in there, right? But what a powerhouse, what an incredible sounding podcast, Women of Impact. And they've got tons of episodes.
Courtney Pearl (13:16)
For sure. For sure.
Waaah!
Mm-hmm.
That's what I want to be. I want to be a woman of impact. That's my whole goal in life. Whether it's with prism healing, with practically magic, or here on parallel frequencies. I'm like, I just want to impact the world in a better way. I want people to become the hero of their own story. I think she even said that. That was one of my things I wrote down in my goals is helping people. Yeah, definitely speaking my language.
Just Blane (13:39)
you are.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's another one that people out there got to go subscribe to. It's powerful. She's got some sass to her. I like that. I mean, she started out right out of the gate talking about, listen to this podcast will lead to you feeling like a total bad ass. I believe her. It's believable.
Courtney Pearl (14:19)
Yeah, we all need
that. We need that best friend, that pick-me-up person, the one that goes, yes, you're going through it, but you've been through it before, you know how to dust your pants off and get back on the horse. It's something we all need.
Just Blane (14:36)
All right, I've given you two podcasts already that I know, Coco, that you've added to your list and you've probably thought to yourself, my gosh, this is my new favorite podcast, right?
Courtney Pearl (14:46)
always think that on Thursdays.
Just Blane (14:48)
I'm gonna say this, uh-uh, you're wrong. I got your new favorite one right here and we're gonna fire it off right now. I'm just throwing it out there. I think it will be your favorite. I'm not gonna tell you that, but let's go ahead and listen to it, okay?
Mm-hmm. bringing you this podcast because we want to tell you about the women who were accused, prosecuted, convicted and ultimately executed as witches in
Zoe Venditazzi and I'm a writer who's always had an interest in the witches and I feel that this dark mark against Scotland needs a reckoning.
The campaign Witches of Scotland wants three things. Firstly, a pardon for all those convicted of witchcraft. Secondly, an apology for all those who were accused as witches. And finally, a national monument in recognition of all those who were affected by this terrible miscarriage of justice. Over the forthcoming weeks we'll be talking to a whole host of experts about the history and the modern day connections to the witches of Scotland.
Tell me
that's not right up your alley. First of all, I got a question though.
Courtney Pearl (16:09)
my god.
Just Blane (16:10)
I've got a question and this is sincere, this is real, but why when we're growing up in all this time and even now, why are we taught to fear the witches and not the ones who are burning them?
Courtney Pearl (16:26)
I ask myself that question all the time. And you know what's crazy is when I got really into kind of the history of the perception of witches, the perception of witchcraft, because let me just point out again, I know it's been pointed out 100 million times, but these women
in these trials were literally just women living their lives. Most of them just wanted to find out what their talents were in healing and medicine and in folklore and in helping their community, whatever that looked like, and hold a position of authority in that and to sometimes even just make enough of living to take care of themselves, to be independent or to be able to provide for their families, to provide for themselves.
Just Blane (16:48)
Exactly.
Courtney Pearl (17:14)
And essentially just kind of being a woman of that time period and having and trying to have that was enough to have you accused and killed for witchcraft. So while I openly call myself a witch, many of those women were accused and put to death.
Just Blane (17:22)
Mm-hmm.
Courtney Pearl (17:34)
for just that, just being themselves, just being people, just people. Yeah.
Just Blane (17:37)
For what? For what? Exactly, yeah.
And that's crazy to me. if you looked at it today, it's almost like back then if a woman was, let's just say, better than average, she was a witch. If she was better than average in anything, ⁓ she had to be a witch. Or worse, yeah, or worse.
Courtney Pearl (17:55)
worse if
she's poor or has too much power, if she has too many opinions or she has something ⁓ as in she's inheriting something, she's inheriting land, she's you know, she's gonna have something that's gonna put her in some sort of financial independence. ⁓ She's a target. There's a target on her back. So watch out. Yeah. Yeah.
Just Blane (18:15)
Yeah. I think about
like today, like what would modern, I mean, I know we, still have modern day witch hunts, but if you looked at people who were like better than average, I mentioned Caitlin Clark this week. She's the WNBA. She's, I'm telling you, she's incredible. Is she a witch? Because she's so good. Is she's better than everybody? Like that, that's, if this was 1700s, somebody would say Caitlin Clark's a witch and they try to burn her.
Courtney Pearl (18:25)
Absolutely.
Yeah,
she's getting too powerful. She's getting too influential. She's getting too much attention. She's rising above where generally the society would like her to be. And we absolutely still see that going on today. In fact, I would say that we're in danger of that happening more again than there was. So the witch wound is very much still alive and going. ⁓ yeah, I like to rebrand witch as woman in total control of herself.
Just Blane (18:48)
Yeah.
Courtney Pearl (19:12)
which means that she is in fact a witch. She may not call herself that, but I'm a witch and I think all these powerful women that are around me and that I see, absolutely, we're witches, proud of it. Let's go.
Just Blane (19:25)
I love that. And that's
trailer part Thursday. We gave you three big ones, two with incredible accents. Once again, I love the accent. ⁓ I want to also throw out there that the networking that the other podcast was talking about is so powerful.
Courtney Pearl (19:35)
My favorite.
yeah, yeah, there are empowerment women and women in leadership. ⁓ there's one here in Utah called like the Boss Ladies of Utah. And ⁓ they're doing incredible work at supporting each other and to helping women grown businesses to thrive.
Just Blane (19:53)
Yeah.
And you know what's weird and wild about this is men can actually go too, because I am a frequent resident of women's networking business groups around here, because guess what? I'm not a woman. Those are none of my pronouns that I use, but I do respect women-owned businesses and want to help them grow because I see it helping me grow. And that's what this is all about. It's not men versus women. It's all of us collabing together.
That other podcast said collab big time. That's what that's what we got to do out here. We're not competing. We're collaborating. The people at the bottom compete. The people at the top collaborate. Get to the top people. He is at the top. Am I right? Come see us at the top.
Courtney Pearl (20:31)
Yeah.
Yeah, we're only thriving as a society as our most oppressed and marginalized groups. So if we can help those groups to thrive and become successful, then we are all better for it. We don't hold people down. Yeah.
Just Blane (20:54)
Yeah.
