Fangirl Fridays

Our beloved football head is back and is leaving New York City! Fans of the Nicktoon have been waiting years for the rumored "Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie" and it's finally happened! So many questions: Will Arnold & Helga get together? Are his parents alive? What's Arnold's last name? Natalie and Maren discuss their feelings on the movie, Helga Pataki's greatness, and what hit & where it went wrong. And this week in fangirling: John Stamos at Disneyland, Circus Animal cookies, and Maren's LIVING for Olympic games drama.

Hooray for Hollywood! The girls are back in town and they've got visitors: The Fonz, Lucille Ball, Carrie Bradshaw, and unfortunately, Kramer. Some of them love Los Angeles, and some of them love New York too much to give it a chance. Natalie and Maren are discussing life without Elaine Benes, 2000's L.A., and "jumping the shark." And this week in fangirling: Greta Gerwig's Ladybird, and the latest season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

It's time to remember the magic! If you had a sitcom on ABC in the '90s, at some point you ended up at Disney World. What's supposed to be a fun getaway always ends up causing chaos amongst family members. Natalie and Maren discuss what these episodes get right (and wrong) about Disney vacations, try to figure out why everyone on Step by Step is dumb and horny, and decide who's better: Steve or Stefan? And this week in fangirling: A George Michael classic and delicious yet dangerous pumpkin spice Lofthouse cookies.

Monica and Chandler are sleeping together, Alex P. Keaton is playing rugby, and Blossom's mom is total garbage -- Greetings from Europe! Natalie and Maren are discussing some of the most wonderful and unnecessary American TV movies & episodes filmed in England, Italy and France. They're talking world class restaurants, boy-charming jumpsuits, and espionage galore! And this week in fangirling: Reese's cups heavy enough to knock someone out, blazers from ten years ago, and Ian Ziering still has it. (Unfortunately, "it" is not a blonde curly mullet.)

Sometimes TV shows need a vacation, and they take us along for the ride. Unfortunately, not every episode is a trip worth having. Join the Fangirls as they jet set to Hawaii for the first part of “Desperation Vacation.” They’re talking about saving hotels, getting bad luck from tabu idols, finding your heritage as well as your boss … And this week in fangirling: A serious Almond Joy/Mounds debate and billboards of TV future (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Netflix’s Barbra).

Quick Post-Halloween check-in before the next series: Natalie is desperate to talk about Stranger Things 2 & Billy's mullet while Maren discovers a candy she doesn't like.

We have a Hallowinner! You voted … Now, the fangirls get to pick the ultimate Halloween episode based on your decisions! Natalie and Maren are also giving costume predictions/suggestions, discussing the lovely Midwest "Wishbone" weather, and what good would a Halloween FGF episode be without a serious candy discussion?! And this week in fangirling: The Florida Project & its breakout star, Brooklynn Prince, and Hulu’s Too Funny to Fail: The Life and Death of the Dana Carvey Show.

*** 

Halloween is a magical time! Candy in abundance... Kids & Adults in costume ....And TV shows ignoring important storylines to get spooky. Natalie and Maren have chosen four of their top Halloween episodes, and it’s up to you to help narrow them down in search of the "Ultimate Halloween-Themed Episode." And this week in fangirling: Roseanne's comeback, a Joe Manganiello sighting, and 90210 baby bibs??

Fall is here! And although the West Coast isn’t getting the beautiful foliage, it’s still basking in the glow of fresh TV shows! Natalie and Maren are talking about what they’re watching this season, what’s next on their list, and if “Will & Grace” and the ’90s sitcom resurgence is holding up. And this week in fangirling: Kether Donohue's hair and an emotional “Josie and the Pussycats” reunion. // Are you a fellow fangirl?
