Blondes With Glasses!

This week's pod is a conversation about the boogeyman of nuclear war and how it's represented in media. We explore why our entertainment no longer focuses on the threat of nuclear war, but instead often involves the wastelands left behind. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca recommends the wonderful video game Uncharted 4. Shannon maybe doesn't recommend The Bodyguard movie and then decides you should all watch the HBO miniseries Angels in America instead.

In this episode, your bespectacled hosts discuss the newest batch of shows and season to appear on Netflix. We fret over the never ending list of shows we want to try, bemoan the end of Sense8 (we recorded just a few hours before they announced the wrap-up movie!) and other niche shows on the streaming service, and take time to dote on Orange Is The New Black, which has continued to be spectacular season after season. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca puts forward the movie "Hello, My Name is Doris" which is streaming on Amazon Prime. Shannon forgets that Becca already recommended the movie "Man Up" and does it anyway. It's streaming on Netflix. Also, let us know if you like our new intro?? We're hemming and hawing over it...

After our little hiatus, we're back with a full discussion on everyone's favorite movie of the summer - Wonder Woman! We fawn over Gal Gadot, talk about THAT Amazon scene, harp on about DC's misuse of CGI, and end up asking for more more more! And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Shannon recommends the Broadway Cast recording of Groundhog Day. Becca recommends the new comedy special from Hasan Minhaj "Homecoming King."

During a brief hiatus in which Becca married two of our biggest fans and Shannon got a job, we both had some time to see F8 - the movie we flat out predicted over a year ago! We revel in our rightness, bemoan Charlize Theron's hair and place our bets on where F9 will go from here. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

Continuing in the vein of Mental Health May, this episode focuses on our queer identities and how we balance it in our everyday life. We discuss weddings and relationships, including friends and listeners that are paving the way for us. We talk about feeling out of place in different situations and where we find refuge in the media we seek out. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca recommends Season 2 of "Master of None" on Netflix. Shannon recommends the mental health centered podcast "The Hilarious World of Depression."

We're focusing on our mental health for the month of May. So, we take the opportunity to check in with each other about how we're doing, what our current coping mechanisms are, and if pop culture plays a significant role in it all. Becca shares her dentist drama with us and Shannon brings up the second screen debate. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca heartily recommends Sense8 now that Season 2 is up on Netflix. Shannon wants everyone to listen to the new Broadway cast recording, Come From Away.

This week's podcast revolves around Hulu's new interpretation of Margaret Atwood's feminist classic - The Handmaid's Tale. We rave about the production, debate its annoying release schedule, and discuss shows that refuse to label themselves as feminist. Mainly, we're looking forward to more! So, bring it on Hulu!! And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca wants everyone to watch the 20th Anniversary celebration of Ellen Degeneres coming out on her talk show. Shannon needs you all to see The Fate of the Furious so we can discuss it on an upcoming episode!

This week's podcast is all about where we started - Doctor Who. We both watched the new episode ("The Pilot") and, unsurprisingly, have many opinions about the whole thing. We discuss Bill Potts, the Steven Moffat effect, where the show is headed, and much more. We are both very hopeful for what this season has to offer and will keep this conversation going as new episodes arrive. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Shannon offers up the Lego Hobbit video game as a great way to pass the time. And Becca gives us the Netflix docu-series "Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On" which, despite the unfortunate name, has a great story to tell about sex, technology, and modern relationships.

This week Shannon is on sabbatical and Becca brings on returning guests Julie and Zach. They discuss the Netflix show The OA starring Brit Marling. They all enjoyed the compelling mystery and discussed the metaphysical elements of the show, what worked and what didn't. Zach recommended the revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Julie has been loving the second season of Chewing Gum, and Becca thinks everyone would enjoy the show Crazyhead.

In this week's podcast, we try to decode TV puzzles. Why do so called "prestige shows" require us to slog through a whole season when all they really develop are the twists and unexpected gut-punches? Why can't more shows use their puzzle-like plots to explore characters? Basically, why aren't there shows on like Battlestar Galactica anymore???? And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca recommends the Seeso comedy Harmonquest and Shannon recommends the book Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine.
