I Was Thinking…

*This episode was recorded back in December before the rise of COVID cases due to the omicron variant. Everyone, please continue to do your best when it comes to keeping yourself safe against COVID. I know we are all out here trying to survive - Simone*It's finally here!!!!! Simone and Briana got together to reminisce about seeing BTS in Los Angeles, California for their Permission To Dance in LA concert!!!! Honestly, though, do they even talk about the actual concert? It's really hard to say because sometimes being at a BTS concert feels like a fever dream. Listen as they (mostly) fangirl, talk about the traumatic experience of Ticketmaster (which they are still not over), how they thought SoFi stadium handled the concert and their overall experience of being in LA. Did any of our listeners get a chance to see them? We would love to hear your experience and see if they were similar to Briana's and Simone's. We are sorry in advance for the amount of squealing we do in this episode. Ask us questions or let us know how we are doing at [email protected]

Happy New Year everyone! Wow, can you believe we are already in 2022? Before we start putting out new episodes, the I Was Thinking crew decided to go through all the episodes from 2021 and pick out what we thought were our best moments. We'll see you soon and remember, time is an illusion!

Welcome to another movie review segment! In this episode, we talk about one of Macy's favorite movies of all time - A Studio Ghibli film - Howl's Moving Castle! Listen as Macy retells the whole movie ( by memory, by the way, isn't that insane?) and gives her insight on the characters, plot, and overall movie. 

*As stated, we discuss the whole movie in full so there will be spoilers. Do not listen If you have not seen Howl's Moving Castle and do not like spoilers*

Wow. The time has come. It's I Was Thinking's one-year anniversary! Can you guys believe that?!? Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to us, whether you've listened to every episode or just one. To celebrate, Macy asks the I Was Thinking crew questions so our audience can get to know us and our personalities a little bit better. We also go off-topic and on tangents a lot so please enjoy and answer the questions along with us!

Welcome to our very first movie review! Listen as Nafees and Simone talk about and share their thoughts on What If or The F Word, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Adam Driver, and Mackenzie Davis. 

"Wallace, who is burned out from a string of failed relationships, forms an instant bond with Chantry, who lives with her longtime boyfriend. Together, they puzzle out what it means if your best friend is also the love of your life." - IMDb 

The burnout of 2021 is real but I promise we will still be making and putting out episodes!!! Thank you for continuously listening to our little show! - Simone
