Halfway There

In this very special episode of Halfway There, our pal Jennifer Gordon Thomas bares it all about her experience with ovarian cancer and how it triggered early onset menopause. It's a tale of horrors but also perseverance, and because Jennifer has a terrific sense of humor about her trials and tribulations, it's also chock-full of laughs.

To Jen's profound dismay, in this episode Kim details how the superrich are purchasing residences aboard luxurious cruise ships that travel around the world in an endless loop. Jen is vowing to become a pirate but Camilo is already saving for his down payment. Speaking of the superrich, we discuss whether actors' plastic surgery detracts from their credibility on screen, Camilo tries and fails to clearly explain House of Leaves, and Jen wants to know if we're getting more or less critical as the years pass.

New Year, New Season!!! WHEEEEEE– Wait, is the first topic newfangled burial methods??? Are we obsessed with dying or something? Yup!

We start off with a bang discussing the controversy surrounding the new West Side Story and whether it should even exist. Then Camilo takes us on a wild ride inside the human body with the quickly developing field of nanobot medicine – little robots in your bloodstream fixing stuff, who doesn't want that?! Finally, Jen tries to convince us (well, mostly herself) that LED light therapy will solve all her problems – dear sweet summer child...

Once again into the potato-verse, this time because we are racing against the clock of Jen's slowly baking potatoes. Once they're ready, she's gonna be out! Camilo and Kim are shocked to learn that kids these days are regressing, shunning emojis and listening to Huey Lewis and the News. And Jen lets us know that even though everyone was locked indoors for months, no one is having kids. What people -do-seem to be doing is micro-dosing Schedule 1 drugs, according to Kim's sources.
