Happy Wine Wednesday! I am delighted to welcome back the brilliant, hilarious, and insightful Reverend Solomon Missouri to talk about the incredible second season of The Bear.  I had a great time discussing the first season of The Bear with Solomon, so I was thrilled when he enthusiastically agreed to return to talk more about this show we love so very much.

One of the reasons why The Bear resonated so much with me is because I often feel seen, attacked, or sometimes both by the writing for certain characters.  So with that in mind, I asked Solomon to share the character beats that resonated most with him this season. 

We delve deeper into the character arcs by sharing the ones we enjoyed most.  It should come as a surprise to no one that we both loved what the writers did with Richie this season.  Of course we get into the standout episodes of the season - we spend a lot of time unpacking the parade of stars and stellar performances in the chaotic episode "Fishes." 

As always, the episode ends with the thirst segment in which our thoughts and reflections go from wholesome to lusty.  In honor of Carmy's trip down memory lane with Claire, I asked Solomon who he would like to pitch a little woo to if he was gifted a time machine that would make all the beautiful people throughout history fair game for his affection. 

We also get into the fandom shipping wars.  It's time for y'all to come home from war - your families miss you.  We talk Carmy x Claire, Carmy x Syd, and Marcus x Syd.  Shippers aren't going to get on the same page about Carmy's perfect mate, so I ask Solomon whether Ebra x Tina are the couple that perhaps the shippers could unite behind and finally find some peace.

Thank you so much for listening!

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time!

Happy Wine Wednesday! Jay Giles returns to the podcast this week to discuss one of our favorite fictional characters - Raylan Givens.  Long time listeners will recall that Jay previously joined me to discuss the Justified pilot and share reflections on the series as a whole, so it only made sense to have him back to discuss our thoughts on the first episode of Justified: City Primeval. 

We follow the lead of the writers and kickoff our conversation with our thoughts on our re-introduction to Raylan Givens.  The writers wasted no time in giving us a peek into how Raylan has grown as both a father and a law enforcement officer since we last saw him in the Justified finale.

The "City Primeval" in this series is Detroit, so we discuss this new location for the next chapter in the Raylan Givens story and how it shapes the story and the world in which Raylan is now navigating.  OG Justified fans know that Detroit was definitely a location visited in the original series, but there's definitely a different feel to it now that the Motor City is the center of this season.

As with the original series, Timothy Olyphant is surrounded by a very talented group of actors.  Jay and I talk about how much fun it was to see talented actors like Vondie Curtis Hall, Aunjanue Ellis, Amin Joseph, and Keith David in the opening episode.

We talk about what was well done in the pilot, what didn't work so well, and our wishlist for the season.  And as always, we close out with the thirst segment and a few prompts inspired by this revival.

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things,  we use adult language, and we have a great time!

Thanks so much for listening.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Philip of Fandom Bite/Fandom Slash returns to the podcast this week to discuss the delightful Amazon Freevee series, Primo. As we wisely counseled you in the past about shows such as Grand Crew, Abbott Elementary, and Wu-Tang: An American Saga, this is some sh*t you should absolutely be watching.  "Freevee" means this show is FREE with very minimal commercials, so there is absolutely nothing keeping you from checking it out.  You can find it here.

Primo is a heartwarming, funny show based on the life of the show's creator Shea Serrano.  Philip and I discuss the pilot and then share our thoughts about the first season as a whole.  Of course we tackle the very difficult task of figuring out which uncle is our favorite.  We love the uncles as an exploration into masculinity and the respective points of view they bring to their relationship with Rafa.  We also discuss our thoughts about Rafa and Drea - the casting for both of these characters was absolutely perfect. 

We really hope this wonderful show gets another season.  Pay the writers and actors so we can get more of this delightful family! In that spirit, we close the discussion with our wish list for season 2. And in the thirst segment, I asked Philip to give me some thirst-inspired choices for actors he'd like to see join this very talented cast.

Happy Wine Wednesday, fellow gladiators in suits! Candi is with me this week for a trip down memory lane with one of the shows that unquestionably put live tweeting on the map - Scandal.

In this new chapter of our Boozy Beginnings series, we discuss the Scandal pilot.  We talk about all of the Scandal staples - the fast talking dialogues, the fashion, the unforgettable characters, and the undeniable chemistry between Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn.

Happy Wine Wednesday! The Righteous Gemstones are FINALLY returning for a new season, so I thought this was a perfect time to revisit the pilot episode of this amazing HBO series.

We kick off our discussion with the cold open in which we get a preview into the Gemstone family dynamics during a 24-hour baptism marathon in China. We then discuss our introductions to Eli, Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin as we follow them to their respective homes.  I had a lot of questions about Jesse's evening routine.

We love all of the shows in the Danny McBride-verse, so of course we talk about his imprint on on this show - particularly the dialogue between characters.  As always, we close out the discussion with our less than wholesome thirsty thoughts.  We discuss the need for a scientific exploration of the stereotypes about preacher's kids and which famous preacher's kid we would choose to carry out this very important research.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back and this week we are discussing the spectacular second season of NBC's Grand Crew.  Y'all know from our season 1 discussion that we love this show and the second season only deepened our appreciation for it.

Grand Crew continues to be a perfect comfort show.  The writers did an amazing job at highlighting the chemistry among this spectacularly talented cast.

We talk about our favorite character arcs, standout episodes and shared what we thought worked well during the season.  And of course we discussed the shocking departure of Grasie Mercedes.  We want Fay back!

We are determined to manifest a well deserved renewal for Grand Crew, so we talked about our wish list for season 3. And as always, the discussion wraps on a thirsty note. 

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Happy Wine Wednesday! We're back with another installment in our Boozy Beginnings series.  Candi joined me this week to talk about the pilot episode of the HBO series Barry.

We kick off our discussion by talking about the opening scene in which we meet Barry who looks like he is struggling to feel satisfied in his career as an assassin.  We also talk about how the writers very efficiently acquainted us with him via some well done exposition from Fuches. 

Barry is the show's namesake and undoubtedly the main character, but the interesting cast of characters is absolutely part of the charm of this series.  In light of that, I ask Candi a few questions for sh*ts and giggles - including her thoughts about NoHo Hank.  We love him!

After a few Barry-inspired questions, we share what worked well in the pilot and whether there was anything that didn't work for us.  If you're new to Barry, we try to further entice you to watch by sharing three words to describe the series.  Have no fear, our discussion is spoiler free - nothing beyond the pilot episode.

As always, we end with our thirsty thoughts.  It's a Barry episode, so of course we swoon over Bill Hader.

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi joins me again this week to close out our thoughts on the amazing second season of Abbott Elementary.  We already covered the first ten episodes of the season and you can hear that fun discussion here.

We talk about the season as a whole, our favorite character arcs, guest actor standouts, our favorite episode of the second half, and of course we get into the Gregory and Janine of it all.

NOTE: This episode was recorded in February, which was prior to the recent allegations regarding Jonathan Majors. 

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi and Andre join me this week for the home going services of Queen Ramonda and her son King T'Challa in Marvel's Wakanda Forever.

The movie wasted no time addressing the tremendous loss of Chadwick Boseman, so we follow that lead in our discussion and start by talking about the direction Ryan Coogler took in bringing that loss to the screen.  We went into the film thinking there would only be one major loss so it was a surprise when Queen Ramonda was tragically killed.  I ask Candi and Andre to share their thoughts about that narrative decision.  Other topics covered include:

• Kilmonger's return (ugh)
• Namor as an antagonist
• Thoughts on storylines for the returning secondary characters
• What Wakanda Forever as a meditation on grief and loss meant for it as a Marvel film
• Ryan's original vision for Wakanda Forever before Chadwick's tragic death
• Post-credit scene with the wee baby Toussaint 
• What we would've left on the cutting room floor of this long as* film

And of course we close with our thirst segment, which was inspired by the African American urge to avoid vast bodies of water.  

Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.
