Do You Actually Like...?

Another episode about the Royal Family?! Well, kind of. This 'not-a-documentary' (thanks British government, we were not confused) is one of Netflix's most elite and critically series. Does it deserve the hype? Could this show be kind of boring...but in a good way? What does this have to do with West Wing? And what Diana sweater does Brigitta want? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea dig into The Crown!

While we are all home alone for the holidays, why don't we watch a movie about being home alone for the holidays? Is Home Alone the fun family Christmas movie you remember, or is Kevin McCallister the real bad guy in this story? Listen along as Brigitta and Andrea talk through this Christmas classic (and Christmas movies in general), and prepare yourself for a festive season of being home, being alone, and hopefully not having to defend your house using pranks.

Alexander Hamilton! A Founding Father but not a president, the musical! Is this song and dance extravaganza worth the hype? Is it a good example of edutainment? Can Andrea even understand...anything going on? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea delve into the musical that launched American History into the pop culture stratosphere!

For some reason we are back watching Star Wars. Surely there are no Star Wars movies left after these three...  Now that we have done the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy, it is time to tackle the sequel trilogy of the Skywalker Saga (that's Star Wars for those of you that haven't read the Wikipedia page). What will Andrea and Brigitta make of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker? Will they care that there is very little continuity across the trilogy, or simply chalk that up to Star Wars being Star Wars? Will they hate the random casino bits, or are they fans of intergalactic gambling? Only time (and listening to this episode) will tell.... Oh and if you want us to do more Star Wars themed episode let us know!

Bonjour! Escape the horrors of the world with the latest episode of DYAL! Oh, is it not realistic enough for you? Too enjoyable? Fun to listen to and full of joy and pleasure? Well, some critics certainly seem to think that about Emily in Paris. But does Emily deserve all the hate? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea debate the critics versus us regular people opinions. Who will come out on top?

 It's October, the leaves are falling turning (or maybe it's spring where you are, we don't know), the air is getting crisper... and then all of a sudden you feel the urge to dress up as a monster and take food from strangers. Yeah Halloween couldn't be stranger, and that is exactly why we are talking about it this week! Whether you love to dress up and wish you got to celebrate Halloween as a kid, or your a neopagan who is all about All Hallow's Eve, or perhaps your parents made you go trick-or-treating and you can't even look at a pumpkin - this episode has something for you. Stick around to the end to hear some movie recommendations to get yourself in the Halloween spirit. ~Let's get Ooky Spooky~

Ah, Twilight. The extremely popular and yet much maligned series of books and movies. But what's up with that anyways?! Is it fair to criticize the readers of Bella, Edward, and Jacob? Is Twilight...good?! Listen in as Brigitta and Andrea debate the worthiness of this classic romance/horror story. From the books to the movies to Renesmee...we cover it all.

 It's a Hitchcock classic. It changed the face of scary movies forever. It was the first movie to show a toilet flushing. But is it any good? This week Brigitta and Andrea take on the Hitchcock classic Psycho - a movie Andrea remembers very fondly from some mysterious before-this-podcast time, and that Brigitta has never seen. So is it all popular culture has led up to believe it is? You'll have to listen to find out...

Ah sushi...the delicious classic from Japan. Or is it? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea discuss their ideal (and very specific) sushi orders, what makes sushi bad sushi, and whether or not ordering it in Germany is ever really worth your while.

Well, well, well...2020 certainly has been a year of reckonings and certain (formerly?) beloved daytime TV talkshows were definitely not exempt! How do we feel about Ellen Degeneres? Was evidence of her (alleged) toxic behavior always there? Or is hindsight 2020? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea get blacklisted from Hollywood as they dare to discuss the current drama of Ellen Degeneres.
