Listen Now

We watched two movies about people who just can’t die, and we loved one, while we were pretty “meh” about the other — so much so that we actually recorded an episode! Hi! We missed you.

We watched Tiger King and hooooo boy it is bananas. But is it true? NB – no discussion of current world events, just a nice chat and then some distracting youtube recommendations, if that’s a thing you’d enjoy.

We watched Knives Out! Holy shit, it’s just as good as you’d think, and we highly recommend it for distraction. We also offer you at the end of the episode a list of things you may enjoy for soothing (or trashy) distraction. Please note: we discuss current events (how could you not??) but only for the first 5 minutes, and after that we are careful not to bring it up again, if you need a break from all the anxiety. We love you, stay safe, wash your hands.

We caught up with Laura Jean and Peter, because we love a good romcom. Turns out we had a lot of thoughts about what does and doesn’t work in the sequel to a romance.

We watched Hustlers! Holy heck, it’s amazing! Be our friend, Jennifer Lopez, please. Important note: Yes, Tom Nook is a raccoon. We double-checked.

Toss a coin to the podcast, we watched the Witcher. (Sorry. It’s stuck in my head.) How do two readers of old-school 80s fantasy feel about this hot new gritty take on classic fantasy tropes? You’ll have to listen to find out, because of the Law of Surprise!

We saw the Rise of Skywalker! Boy it sure was something, huh? Spoilers abound, obviously. (General spoiler: we liked it! But we do have over an hour of notes…….) Also, apologies if you can hear Rachel coughing — she has been sick for WEEKS, editing can only do so much.

We love Star Wars and we love gifs of Baby Yoda, so we watched The Mandolorian. Did we love it? …..welllllll…………

This time we watched the Knight Before Christmas and Falling Inn Love. Which pun-titled movie reigned supreme???? Note: our microphone got unplugged for about five minutes in the middle of the episode, and then we realized and plugged it back in. Sorry for those five minutes. They’re fine but not great.

Don’t even click on this yet, go watch Fleabag and then come back. We’ll wait. It’s SO good. …..Uh, spoiler.
