Good Not Great

The Emmy nominations came out today! And our girl Rihanna is nominated! Jill catches Ryann (and the world) up on what's happening on this season of The Kardashians. We get into the Jonah Hill and Keke Palmer's baby daddy of it all (men are trash). We're still saying the name Theo Vonn in 2023? Ryann and Jill are upset that performing artists do full length concerts with their hair down, we hope they're staying cool! Jill gives a lackluster update on the oldest celebrities she "would" have sex with. Ryann watched The Outlaws and continues to be heavily obsessed with the men of Workaholics. Do you guys have celebrities who you know their podcast life stories by heart? Jackass will always be close to Ryann's heart. Jill gives us a quick update on Madonna's health scare. One time Ryann saw an obscure member of an obscure band at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon once. Jillian has to reckon with how she feels about Brad Pitt, this is serious. Tom Holland and Zendaya are still dating and Ryann is here for it!

Episode 28, our Curtis Martin episode! On this week's Good Not Great we discuss: Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umanusky are separate (we think) we share our thoughts (and prayers). Ryann made it through Season 5 of Vanderpump Rules, get pumped from her takeaways of this 2016 television season! Michael Rubin had a party and A LOT of people came, a lot of famous people! If you don't want to hear spoilers for season 2 of The Bear skip from minute 30:00 to 38:32 and 40:00 to 40:26. Should Ryann watch the television program Hart to Heart on Peacock? Ryann doesn't really like the films Booksmart, Lady Bird, Cocktail, and Working Girl. Ryann also watched Bama Rush on MAX over the weekend - it's kinda weird, friends. Did you know a rush consultant is a paying job? That adult people have? Also, don't mess with The Machine. Is Barbie the film being mega targeted to you via the many marketing campaigns? If not, it is now because we're talking about it too! Keke Palmer for President 2024. Would you hook up with Harrison Ford? He's very funny if that helps. Who is the oldest celebrity you would have sex with? When did you find Harrison Ford at his hottest? Do you guys know anything about how the Supreme Court works? Do y'all remember Heidi Montag's first job? Ryann's pet peeves are back everyone! Get excited!

Welcome to Episode 27! We made it to the 27 Club. This is our first ever second in person pod! Chrssy Teigen and Jon Legend have a new baby! June 27 is the most popular birthday in Massachusetts, what a random birthday. Amy Schumer has a new Netflix special, Jill finds it very lackluster. The best reality television show, Temptation Island, is back! Join Ryann in watching it on the USA Network, CHARACTERS WELCOME! The Big D is yet another new dating reality show that the USA network has brought us. Have you watched the trailer to film Challengers yet to see Jill's BFF Zendaya? Thought we were done with Vanderpump Rules? Almost but Ryann is watching Season 4 from the year 2015 and has thoughts! If you're unemployed, watch every season of Vanderpump Rules. You won't regret it. Lisa Vanderpump is a bit of a poopoo head. The Sex and the City ladies go to the Met Gala on And Just Like That, who is writing this shit? Did y'all know Big Jim Cameron is an expert in deep sea exploration or was it just Ryann who was ignorant? The Bear is back! Is Jeremy Allen White nice? Is the show good? Are Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky breaking up? Is Jenna Lyons boring AF but we're still going to watch the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City? Yes. Why do we dislike Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband? Ryann asks Jill for a rundown. What fictional family would you want to go on vacation with? Can you believe James Gandolfini died ten years ago?!

Welcome to the Drop Dead Gorgeous Underrateds episode! Ryann had to give a quick intense PSA at the beginning of the episode before we dive into the highlights of this 1999 cult classic film. ALSO Ryann got a new Revlon hot tool and it gives you the perfect blowout, would recommend. (https://www.revlonhairtools.com/us_en/pro-collection-1-long-lasting-curls-heated-silicone-brush) Jill is more of a DDG historian than Ryann. When did mockumentaries really become a thing? We're hardcore Allison Janney stans and always will be. This film also has a murderer's row of other stars: our lord and savior, Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Ellen Barkin, Denise Richards, Brittany Murphy, Amy Adams, the list goes on! Ryann once went to a Mary Kay party in college. In case you were wondering it is Vo-Tech, not Voc-Tech, Ryann wins! Does anyone else get Denise Richards and Brooke Shields confused? We hope you enjoy the film and this podcast; we recommend watching it from an airport Howard Johnson!

We somewhat promise that our intense Vanderpump Rules recaps will stop soon, but of course we kick off episode 25 by deep diving into the Season 10 Reunion (Part 3) and boy do we have a lot to say! Bravo fans did you know Oliver was Garcelle's son? The reunion talk wraps up around minute 40 (yes, I'm not kidding sorry).  Then we veer into quick Randall Emmett talk so it is Vanderpump adjacent but not reunion specific! Anna Nicole Smith's daughter is alive, well, in Kentucky, and looking just like her mom. Ryann's favorite member of 5 Seconds of Summer is having a baby, should People Magazine care? Then we delve into some Tony and theater talk, specifically did Alex Newell shade Lea Michele? Of the shows wrapping up this season - which actor had the most success? Ryann has some Vanderpump Rules season 3 thoughts. Speed round of short, random topics that Ryann needs to share with Jill commence! You might just learn something about McCarthyism! Are Joe and Jill Biden a couple looking for a third? What do you think of Tyler Henry, the Hollywood Medium? Jill please explain the new charges brought against Mr. Indictment, thank you.

It's our 24th episode, our Darrelle Revis episode! We kick this podcast off by talking about DRIVING ROUTES and Ryann asking Jillian pop culture bar trivia questions. And by regaling her a story of a celebrity she met on the street show out Storm from American Gladiators. Jill explains why the 1945 film the Ten Commandments is important to our family. We also test some of our Shakesperean knowledge at the jump, as you do. Does Leo kill Paul Rudd in the Baz Luhrmannfilm? A long ass amount of Vanderpump Season 10 Reunion Part 2 talk as predicted. We're sorry but the Scandoval is still all consuming and fun to discuss. Sorry, Christa, Jill says the Summer House reunion wasn't crazier than VPR thus far. While quickly veering into another Bravo program (Summer House) we dive right back into Vanderpump Rules BUT it's season 3 this time!!! And just like that, Samantha's back - Kim Cattrall is back for one phoned scene on And Just Like That, who cares! Ryann is mad about all the accolades that former USWNT soccer head coach, Jill Ellis, is getting these days! US women's soccer players better run offsides drills until the 2023 World Cup starts! Jill went to see Y'all Out Boy, get into it! Is Frankie Jonas the most left out sibling of all time? Should famous Lennys be posthumously included in fictional works of art? Taylor Swift is a performative ally, there I said it.

It's episode 23, our Michael Jordan episode! MAJOR SPOILERS for Succession Season 4 Finale, it's over get a new show! Also major spoilers for 2022 film Tár because Ryann finally got around to watching it on a plane! Jill shares some of her thoughts on the series finale of Succession, Ryann of course has never watched it. A lot of shows are ending this year! Is the rest of this episode about Vanderpump Rules? Um, a very big chunk of it! But don't worry we don't only cover the week old Season 10 Reunion we also dive into Season 2 which aired in 2013, literally ten years ago! Tom Sandoval is a scummy, stupid, grooming idiot. Lisa Vanderpump is the LVP, Least Valuable Player of the Season 10 reunion. Do you need a reminder on who Eddie Cibrian is? Raquel Leviss is wasting the time of the US judicial system! And Jill is mad! Just when you think the VPR talk is done...nevertheless they persisted. If a former colleague of yours changed their first name slightly how would you email them?! Jill started the Ed Sheeran docuseries and is more intrigued by Cherry, Ed's wife, than Ed. We went to the Outsiders House in Tulsa, OK as one does! The house that S.E. Hinton built. Ryann has many thoughts on Tár after watching it a year late! Lydia Tár is famously not a real person. Jill tries to explain how the United States government debt ceiling works - we owe as much money as Nick Cannon pays in child support (heyo!) The Anthony Weiner NY Post headlines continue. Jillian likes to read nonfiction! And she doesn't care who knows it! Don't worry fans only two more Vanderpump Rules episodes this season then we will talk about something else!

SAVINGS! The Vanderpump Rules finale occurred! We shockingly don't have as many thoughts about it as you might think. Does the pope have a balcony? Paris Hilton had a tough time ! Rihanna's child has a name! Matty Healy is not the best person. RuPaul's home was featured in Architectural Digest! Ryann made it all the way to Season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - get excited! Robert DeNiro and many more are hitting the streets of the Cannes Film Festival - and in 2022 he was in a film directed by Randall Emmett, what are we doing here? James Marsden - is he as nice as he seems? Listeners, do you know what teeth gems are? Cuomo was governor of New York for quite a long time. Do you guys remember what happened with the whole Berlin Wall thing?

We kick off with a quick update of what Ryann packed for a trip to Martha's Vineyard, before we dive (see what we did there?) into one of her favorite films of all time, 2002 surf juggernaut Blue Crush! We have a few technical issues with this recording (Thanks MV WiFi) so Ryann apologizes. Did Anne Marie Chadwick graduate from high school? A film about how hot Kate Bosworth is, surfing, and great music. Get ready for a solid 45 minutes of our questions, observations, things we noticed about the film! Then we dive into the meatier categories. Would you surf again after a near drowning accident? Michelle Rodriguez brings nothing to the table. And only is in action movies. How old is everyone supposed to be in this film?! 2002 CGI wasn't the best. How serious are Pro Bowl athletes about their performance? Is there light prostitution in this film? Did you ever hear a freshman year level English literature major analysis of Blue Crush? No, well you're about to get one. How does unemployment work ? Could an NFL quarterback and a professional surfer make a long term relationship work? That dress is dry clean only! Surf's up Anne Marie!

The episode of interruptions! (Ryann apologizes for how annoying she is in the first half of this episode). Jillian catches us up on the Coronation of KC3; the royal family is mean to Harry! Should Charles abdicate or will he 'King It' until he is dead? Does Ed Sheeran have hair plugs? Who knows, but he is not liable for copying Marvin Gaye's song 'Let's Get It On' and he also has a Disney+ documentary out. But Donald Trump IS liable! We catch folks up on the writers guild strike and our thoughts, as well as how Gary Janetti is weathering the strike storm! Jill's the Brad and Ryann's the Gary (also she's the Rhoda and I'm the Mary). Yo actress Minka Kelly had a super messed up life, did you know? Listen to hear about what happened between her and Donald Faison! Andy Richter is Ryann's everything! Is Jason Alexander universally well liked? Brandy Cinderella is the best Cinderella! VPR talk continues (but 'tis brief) does Ryann like James Kennedy now? #tomzandevelle Ryann's info about Kristen Doute on WWHL might not be 100% factual because she was only half paying attention. #rychella Don't worry, Ryann gives a quick updates on the latest This Is Important (Workaholics) podcast episode. Robert Deniro had a baby! Do we think people want to date him because he has a lot of money? Or is he scraping pennies together? Ryann has some thoughts on Season 3 of Ted Lasso. NEW SEGMENT WE HAVE PET PEEVES (or shockingly Ryann does). Ryann is also still watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Do you like Jane Lynch? Would you use Olive Oil from 2022? Do you eat Reeses Pieces?
