Well, this is certainly a match made in heaven.
Last week, Broad City sat down with the recently “reunited” Sleater-Kinney at The Ace Hotel in New York, and the visibly admiring comedy duo put questions—both sincere and silly—to the legendary indie-rock trio and, as it turns out, the feeling’s quite mutual.

“It’s a big part of what we do, I feel very strongly about an alternative to the idea of women being ‘a certain way,'” said Weiss. “I think you guys are chipping away at that as well, that sort of stereotypical, quiet, demure, soft-spoken stereotype,” she continued, directed towards Glazer and Jacobson. “The three of us get on stage and we really try to break that down.”
“I think there’s an unapologetic obliteration of the sacred,” Brownstein added.
