Bed Wed or Behead

Our favorite TV musical dramedy gets the BeWBs treatment on this week's episode! Carla and Meg are eager to dive into the world of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020 - , NBC), and to play the game with Max (Skylar Astin), Simon (John Clarence Stewart), and Zoey (Jane Levy), and it's only a little bit because they're itching for a fight! Love triangle? Please! This is a lust pentagon! Who gets to dance in the sheets, to sing their way to the altar, or to bellow a mournful tune on the way to the guillotine? Press play and find out!

A trio so meaty we needed a foursome to tackle it! The BeWBs bring on special guests Lauren and Rachel (co-hosts of Sort of Brilliant Podcast) to decide the fates of Emma (Jennifer Morrison), Mary Margaret (Ginnifer Goodwin), and Regina (Lana Parrilla) from Once Upon A Time! The gloves come off as one of the characters becomes a point of contention, and Meg employs The Rule Of "I'll Take That As A Yes"* to successfully reach a Final Judgement!

And check out Sort of Brilliant's Jan 12th episode in which the BeWBs will guest to sort this very trio into their respective Hogwarts houses (and also check them out in general because it's a great podcast).

Once Upon A Time aired from 2011 - 2018 on ABC and, as of the date of this podcast episode release, is available on Disney+.

*Not an actual rule, just smart thinking on Meg's part

We may have left 2020 in the rearview mirror, but the BeWBs are not quite done with Christmas yet! In this episode, Meg and Carla revisit Love Actually, this time to decide whether to bed, wed, or behead Karen (Emma Thompson), Natalie (Martine McCutcheon), and Sarah (Laura Linney). Celebrate the start of 2021 by listening to an episode recorded in the final throes of 2020 about a movie released in 1993. Only Bed Wed or Behead Podcast can bring you timely entertainment like this!

Twas the Monday after Christmas

And all through the land

Not a BeWB was remotely

Prepared to lift a hand

And so Megan and Carla

Re-watched The Holiday

A film from the past (2006 to be exact)

Yes, way back in the day

On Cameron (Diaz)! On Kate (Winslet)! 

On Jude Law and Jack Black!

And even On Arthur

Played by Eli Wallach!

You'll hear Carleg exclaim

As the podcast you hear

There is one choice so easy

It'll bring you much cheer!

And hey as a bonus,

As our little gift

You get TWO trios this time

Because of a slip

Let's get on with the wedding

And also the bedding

And why the hell not

Let's do some fun beheading!

The BeWBs love love and they love Love Actually! Behold, our episode on the 2003 holiday-themed romantic dramedy starring almost every rom-com staple of the previous decade as long as they're white, and particularly enjoy the  incredible crassness of the moment where Carla tries to squeeze an extra syllable into the first line of "Christmas Is All Around". This week's trio consists of recent widower Daniel (Liam Neeson), sweet man but terrible singer and driver Jamie (Colin Firth), and new Prime Minister David (Hugh Grant). Who will get the ring, the fling, and the muuuuurder? Click "play" and find out!

What's a celebration of Christmas movies without friends to rip into you for choosing a film that only features the holiday in like three scenes? Special guest Hannah joins Meg and Carla to talk about Holidate, the 2020 Netflix rom-com about how shutting up your awful and intrusive mother by arranging to bring along a total stranger to every holiday event instead of just establishing boundaries with her makes sense if the stranger is a cute guy with an accent! Do the BeWBs plus one bed, wed, or behead Sloane (Emma Roberts), Jackson (Luke Bracey), or Faarooq (Manish Dayal)? Press play and find out!

This must be an everlasting love Carla and Meg have for movies featuring mistletoe and classic rom-coms, because Bed, Wed, or Behead kicks off the holiday movie month with While You Were Sleeping! The beloved 1995 movie starring Sandra Bullock (Lucy), Bill Pullman (Jack), and Peter Gallagher (Peter) invites us to wonder what might happen when fate puts you in a position to save your crush's life if you're kind, charming, and live in a time before HIPAA laws went into effect. The choices may seem straightforward, but what are these BeWBs if not delightfully hilarious little drunken surprises? Find out who gets the ring, the fling, or the guillotine in this week's episode!

The BeWBs revisit Criminal Minds, because no discussion of this show can be complete without mentioning Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), and Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler)! Meg and Carla would rather bed and/or wed all of these great characters, but one head will have to roll. Whose will it be? Hit "play" and find out!

PS: No pasta was harmed in the recording of this episode.

"We have a shiny new episode of the show that was cancelled too gorram soon", is how a hack would start a synopsis of their Firefly episode. Not us! We're just going to tell you that the BeWBs chose among Inara, Mal, and Zoe for the wedding, bedding, and beheading this week, and that it was anything but easy. Who would have thought that a show that first aired almost twenty years ago could inspire such passionate debate? The people who wear Firefly-themed leggings, that's who! Join Meg and Carla for a spirited trip to outer outer space!

Our last Supernatural celebration episode is here! Parting is such sorrowful sorrow (we said what we said), and who better to join us in saying goodbye to this epic series than The Game Of Nerds contributor and the reason Meg and Carla met in the first place: Special guest Tiffany! She has the unenviable task of helping the BeWBs decide whether to bed, wed, or behead the super sexy trio of Chuck, Ketch, and Metatron. Discover Tiffany's feelings on the trio, and learn about Carla's head-scratching crush!
