I'ma Need More Wine Podcast

Happy Wine Wednesday!  We are leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe and heading to Palmetto, Florida for another installment of our special pilot project series.  Special guest Candi joins us to discuss the pilot episode of TNT's Claws.

Our discussion kicks off with the Candi/Jocelyn origin story, which began thanks to Twitter and the ill-fated Universal Fan Con.  We then get into the main discussion and share how we became acquainted with the TNT dark comedy, Claws.  We share the sh*t we liked about the pilot and call out a few questionable writing decisions that we did not like in an otherwise solid episode.

As always, we get into the Qs that need some As, which includes an examination of some very questionable decisions by Roller.  We discuss nail shop rituals, whether Virginia can be trusted, and the fun fashions worn by the ladies.

Claws is a cast of heavy hitters, so of course we shared our thoughts on the performances that grabbed our attention in the pilot.  And no episode of I'ma Need More Wine would be complete without getting a little thirsty.  We had lots of thoughts on who from the cast we would like to dig our claws into during some sexy time.

As always, we love you for listening.  Find and follow Candi on Twitter here.

Happy Wine Wednesday! We are back with special guest Abbey M. White with the conclusion of our discussion on Marvel's Eternals.  The episode picks up with the remainder of our thoughts on our favorite small group pairings in the film.  Next, we talk about the impressively diverse cast and whether Eternals manages to be equitable and inclusive, rather than just having diversity for the sake of diversity.

With a slate of fun and exciting super powers on display in Eternals, we could not resist talking about which power we would like to have and why.  Of course we would be remiss if we did not discuss the criticism of Eternals.  In particular, we explore the film's use of non-linear storytelling and whether or not it was effective.

The MCU is known for its action sequences and there are some really notable fights in Eternals.  We talk about how Eternals manages to fit within the Marvel algorithm while still being unique in some aspects when it came to featuring battles and conflicts.  You know what was outside the Marvel algorithm? Our heroes having sex! You know we had to discuss that.

We dabble a bit into the mid and post credit scenes and share our thoughts on whether or not we are really done with Ikaris.  We then share our MVPs and discuss whether or not the use of big Hollywood names was a blessing or a curse with respect to audience and critic expectations.

Of course no episode of I'ma Need More Wine would be complete without things getting a little thirsty.  The discussion concludes with us discussing which actors from the film make our heart skip a beat so much that we're hoping the Eternals can buy us more time with them by stopping the Emergence.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Special guest Abbey M. White joins us this week to talk about Marvel's Eternals. 

When Abbey says they want to talk about a movie, you give them a platform! Abbey takes us to church this week with their takes on the genius of Chloé Zhao and her very thoughtful, deliberate approach to creating Eternals. 

It should come as no surprise that our thoughts on Eternals exceeded the run time of the film, so we broke the episode into two parts.  In this week's installment, we kick off the discussion by sharing our overall thoughts on the film.  The list of sh*t we liked about Eternals was much longer than the sh*t we didn't like or know how to feel about.  An early death in the film had Jocelyn hitting the Google to confirm whether the concept of "eternal" also means immortal.

Next, we talk about balance.  Eternals has a very large and undeniably talented cast, so we discuss the balance across those characters and whether there were aspects of an individual's storyline that left something to be desired.  Following that, we discuss the small group pairings in the film.  The title of this episode should clue you in on one of our favorite pairings.  We also talk about smaller groups/pairings that we would have liked to see more of, like Gilgamesh and life.  No conversation about Eternals would be complete without discussing our thoughts on whether or not the film hit the mark on diversity and inclusion given the very diverse cast and the diverse backgrounds of the characters.  There is a quick preview of our thirsty thoughts segment and we close the first part of the discussion by sharing the characters that we are eternally done with thanks to their actions in the film.

Part 2 will come out next Wine Wednesday, February 16, 2022.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Stacey AKA Sticky Keys of the Beacon Hills After Dark podcast is back this week and you know what that means - MESS!  What kind of mess?  The pilot episode of ABC's Big Sky. 

We kick off our discussion by sharing our respective Big Sky "origin stories."  Stacey is all in and up to date on Big Sky and Jocelyn is a newbie.  Next, we talk about the sh*t we liked and the sh*t we didn't like about the pilot. 

As always, we had some Qs about the pilot that needed some As.  For example, why in the world was Merilee serving her husband cold, bland, oversized, pieces of bread for dinner?  We also unpack whatever "menopause talk" is and explore whether Big Sky is meant to be creepy, campy, or both. 

Of course we talk about the jaw dropping moment at the end of the pilot and get a wee bit messy as we unpack the irony of Ryan Phillippe portraying a character in a mess romantic "entanglement."

We close the spoiler-free segment out with our final verdicts on Big Sky and our thirsty picks from the pilot episode.  There is a brief spoiler section at the very end - don't worry, we give you lots of notice.

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult language!

Happy Wine Wednesday! We are back from the holiday break with an all new installment in our special series, The Pilot Project.  Very special guest and friend to the podcast Abbey White from The Hollywood Reporter joins us again to discuss the pilot episode of the critically acclaimed HBO series, Euphoria. 

We kick things off by sharing our respective experiences with the series.  Abbey is a regular watcher while Jocelyn is a newbie.  Next, we discuss the sh*t we liked and the sh*t we did not like about the pilot episode.  The Euphoria writers are telling two different stories - one focused on teens navigating life and the other story that feels intended to scare the crap out of those of us in the audience who are far removed from our teen years.  The pilot was at its best when it focused on world building and laying out the challenges that the teens will grapple with as the series develops. 

As always, we had some Qs that needed some As.  We had a lot of questions about teen boys hanging out with no shirts on.  Seriously, is that a thing?  We also discussed meaningful choices made in the pilot from the decision to make Rue's mother Black, the use of lighting and coloring, and musical selections. 

As a regular watcher of Grey's Anatomy, Jocelyn had a lot of thoughts about the surprising appearance of Eric Dane AKA McSteamy in the Euphoria pilot.  We talk about that and other unexpected twists from the pilot. 

We would never leave you without a thirst segment, but we did things a little differently this week.  Given that there are very few adult characters in the pilot, we went in a different direction and shared a few things/people that make us euphoric.

For those who are all caught up on Euphoria or not afraid to know what happens after the pilot, we have a fun spoiler segment.  Worry not, spoilerphobes - you'll  have lots of warning before that segment.

Happy Wine Wednesday!  We are back with special guest Maddie this week for a discussion of the pilot episode of the critically acclaimed series, Orphan Black.

We kick off the discussion with our Orphan Black "origin stories" in which we share when we started watching the series and what drew us to it.  We then move on to our overall thoughts of the pilot episode.  Unsurprisingly, there was very little we disliked about it.

Next, we do a deep dive into the plot and discuss some Qs that need some As.  What would you do if you saw a woman standing on a subway platform taking off her shoes and putting down her purse?  What level of freaked out would you be if you bumped into a stranger who had your exact same face?  After you come across your doppelgänger, do you let it go or do you pursue more information?  We also unpack the many layers of Sarah's desperation and share our respective thoughts on the point at which she may have gone a little too far in her efforts to claim the money Beth left behind.

No discussion about Orphan Black would be complete without praising the immensely talented Tatiana Maslany.  We also give our best elevator pitch as to why you should keep watching Orphan Black if you have not already watched the series and then things get a little thirsty.

The episode closes with a spoiler segment.  Fear not - you will have lots of warning if you want to avoid them until you watch the series.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Stacey AKA Sticky Keys of the Beacon Hills After Dark Podcast returns again this week to join us for the fourth installment of our Pilot Project series.  We gave our version of guest's rights to Stacey and let her pick the pilot.  Stacey went with the former NBC, now Netflix series - Manifest.  Grab your wine and boarding pass as we discuss all things related to Flight 828.  One of the passengers on this podcast flight may have had one drink too many, so consider yourself warned.

Stacey gets us started by sharing why she likes Manifest.  We then share what we liked and what we didn't like about the pilot episode.  Next, we get into the Qs that needed some As.  Do people really clap at the end of flights?  Are Michaela and Ben the only ones who hear voices?  If you found out you lost five years of your life on a flight, what's your priority as you try to return to normal?

As always, we discuss standout performances, the actors that quenched our thirst, and we have a brief spoiler segment at the end. 

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult language!

Happy Wine Wednesday!  Stacey AKA Sticky Keys of the Beacon Hills After Dark Podcast joins us this week for the third installment of our special series - The Pilot Project.  Halloween might be over, but we are still in a spooky ooky mood, so we are heading over to Beacon Hills, California to discuss the pilot episode of Teen Wolf.

As you can imagine, we had a lot of fun at the expense of Jeff Davis, so we started the episode by saying something nice about Teen Wolf before the dragging commenced.  We then talk about what drew us to the series and share our overall thoughts on the pilot. 

Next up, Jocelyn had some Qs that were in serious need of some As.  For example, were Scott and Stiles too old to be playing the "wanna see a dead body" game?  Just how quickly does Tyler Hoechlin go from clean shaven to 5 o'clock shadow?  Speaking of Hoechlin, what was the deal with Derek just appearing out of thin air?  And how adorable was Stiles in his suit and tie for a basic high school house party?

Following that, we demand justice for Harley and have fun reflecting on some of the behind the scenes insights revealed in Entertainment Weekly's oral history of Teen Wolf, which you can find here. 

The spoiler-free part of the episode closes with a riveting thirst discussion.  We talk about the objects of our thirst from the show and ponder what sex with a werewolf would be like.  Stacey teaches Jocelyn the meaning of refractory period and we share which spooky ooky supernaturals are at the top of our thirst list.

For those who stick around for the spoiler section, we chat best villains, toughest departures, unintentionally hilarious moments, and character arcs.
