Instead of letting Omicron’s presence completely drain your mental energy, listen to us light-heartedly discuss our new favorite show The Sex Lives of College Girls. We mix college nostalgia with contemplations of how seeing these situations on TV provides scripts for how to deal with serious stuff IRL — without letting it break you. We also discuss how The Morning Show is incorporating COVID into their storyline, Harry Potter, and a NOT NETFLIX top ten situation for 2021. Listen to the episode ...

For our last episode of 2021, we dive deep into Feel Good but somehow barely scratch the surface. It’s a joyous emotional rollercoaster that we never want to get off.

Welcome back to another episode! First, Rosey discusses her thoughts on the silly Netflix movie A Castle for Christmas, then Avery talks about the very intellectual, nonfictional book Four Lost Cities.

It’s a long one, folks, but we’re on fire. Rosey can’t get enough of The Sex Lives of College Girls and Avery has some thoughts on the second season of The Great.

Happy short holiday week! This episode we’re talking Thanksgiving TV specials. Whether you celebrate or not, there’s an interesting (we think) discussion about Indigenous voices on TV that definitely checks the “really important” box*. Not gonna lie, we get a little riled. We also give an update on KStew content we watched after last week’s discussion, and review the Top 10 streams for this week.

This week we dive deep into Netflix’s limited series Maid. It’s truly a deeeep one, but important, and *trigger warning* the conversation details domestic violence and abuse, alcoholism and mental health.
