Blondes With Glasses!

It was a big weekend for your hosts and for millions of women around the world. We were just two of the attendees at the Women's March on Washington and after hours of being the presence of powerful women, we sat down to discuss our day, our emotions, and where we hope to go from here. We highlight some of the speakers, including feminist heroes like Gloria Steinem, Ashley Judd, and Janet Mock. And we both try to grapple with white feminism and our next steps forward. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

In this week's podcast, your hosts discuss their love of board games of all shapes and sizes. They debate the best type of games to play with family and friends and try to figure out why so many people have stopped playing games. Is it all Monopoly's fault?! Becca also advises Shannon on how to begin hosting her own board game night. Listeners, if you've got any good games to share please message us and we'll give them a shot! We're always looking for something new because, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

Sometimes we wonder if this is the darkest timeline and we're sure we aren't the only ones. Many shows and movies explore the concept of Alternate Universe (AUs), either in a one-off episode or as the premise for the entire plot. We discuss what draws audiences and showrunners to other dimensions and timelines and why there are always so many goddamn Zeppelins flying around in them. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca picks some music this week, with the folk-y artist Radical Face. Shannon picks Margaret Atwood's feminist classic, The Handmaid's Tale, a story which is becoming more and more relevant each day.

A few days before Christmas, we sat down to record our last episode of 2016. We spend some time bashing 2016, the year that really let us down. (And this was before Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died, people!) We also collect our thoughts on the shows that debuted in 2016, including which ones are keepers (Take My Wife! Full Frontal with Samantha Bee! Fleabag!) and which ones we want everyone to stop slobbering over already (Westworld!). We get some sage advice from Zach about how to move forward into 2017 and both make New Years Resolutions to tackle shows in our backlog. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other, but this time we limit ourselves to two of our favorite shows of the year. Becca picked the wonderful drama Humans and Amazon's Fleabag. Shannon picked ABC's Speechless and Seeso's Take My Wife.

Your bespectacled hosts ventured to the movie theatre this week to see a one night only showing of "Allegiance: A New Broadway Musical" starring George Takei and Lea Salonga. We discuss the highlights of the production, it's great interpretation of activism, and our wishes for more theatre productions to follow suit. Shannon also gives some insight to the obstacles theatre companies face when trying to bring theatre to your various screens. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca offers the utterly-bingeable show "Search Party" and Shannon does the same with Netflix's new "White Rabbit Project."

Wooohooooo! We've made it to Episode 100 and so have you. We sat down this week to do a State of the Podcast. We check in with each other, talk about plans and hopes for the future, and take some time to congratulate each other for a job well done so far (particularly with predicting movie sequels that Hollywood has decided to revive thanks to our suggestions!). And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca gives her stamp of approval to the movie Arrival. Shannon suggests a re-watch of Black Sails, a show that Becca previously suggested to her.

This week's focus is solely on Gilmore Girls and the new episodes released on Netflix. (So, spoilers obviously!) We discuss the highs and lows and open up the conversation to the oft mentioned Arnaldo and Simone, two of Becca's friends who have very different Gilmore experiences. So, join us as we take a stroll through Stars Hollow and relive the Gilmore nostalgia. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Simone and Arnaldo offer up the TV show Sliders (on Netflix), Becca wants us all to watch the movie Sing Street (also on Netflix) and Shannon heartily approves of the new Disney movie Moana and it's outstanding soundtrack.

With Thanksgiving looming, we decided to discuss the pitfalls of family events and how well our media portrays them - from the hijinks of HIMYM's Slapsgiving to the Butterball Hotline of The West Wing. We also check in with each other since it's still pretty obvious we're not fully recovered from the election (and won't be for a long time). And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca reaffirms her pick with Madam Secretary and adds on the new MTV show Sweet/Vicious. Shannon looks forward to the one-night-only cinema screening of Allegiance: The Musical, being played in theaters all across the country.

Listeners, we are still going through the stages of grief, and probably will be for some time (two years?). This election served as an "aha" moment for both of us and we both have discovered that shouting into an echo chamber isn't enough. We have to do more in order to make the world a better place for ourselves, our friends, and our loved ones. So, we get through the catharsis of finally talking about our loss and then look forward to what we can do now to make a difference. There are no recommendations this week apart from us urging you to do the same.

Like it or not, the election is only a few days away. If you're like us, you are probably counting the seconds until you don't have to see political ads during your favorite TV shows or see yet another stump speech on the news. We take some time to discuss our coping mechanisms for when this is all over - what shows to self medicate with, and options for what to do after you've voted on Election Day. So, please remember to vote on Tuesday. We'll see you on the other side. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca brings the Ava DuVernay documentary, "13th" to the table and Shannon suggests re-watching "The Debate" episode of Parks and Recreation.
