Happy Friday! Our coverage of The Ones Who Live continues this week with our discussion of Episode 5, "Become." We enjoyed the episode and were SHOCKED, but delighted by the return of Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) to the TWD universe. We share all of our favorite moments from Richonne's second honeymoon episode - including the big proposal at the end. Candi very graciously fills in a few background gaps for me on the past relationship between Gabriel and Ann/Jadis. And of course we talk about Jadis's final character run and whether or not we understood all of her choices. We close with our wishlist for the finale. In sum, we want cinnamon roll sweetness and will not be here for any bittersweet endings. This is a love story and we want a happy ending for this beloved couple. And a reunion!

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back to discuss episode 4 of "The Ones Who Live" written by the multi-talented Danai Gurira.  We have a scene heavy discussion this week as we discuss the multiple reckonings for Richonne - Michonne's disappointment in her reunion with Rick and the reckoning for the couple as a whole.

Of course we unpack Michonne's long awaited revelation to Rick about their son, RJ. And  we talk about how the couple ultimately gets on the same page by being vulnerable and sharing how their trauma has impacted them.  This was a spectacular episode and Danai exercised the utmost love and care as we navigated this important turning point for Richonne.  This episode had us all in our feelings, y'all.  Especially as Rick opened up about how his time with CRM made him lose Carl all over again.  Those flashbacks!

We close with a little bit of speculation about what's to come.  I run a few of my tin foil theories about the presence of "A"s by Candi and whether they have a larger meaning for the spinoffs and main series as a whole.

We had a few audio issues in this episode, so apologies for that! Riverside was a bit glitchy this week.

As always, thank you SO much for listening! This is your friendly reminder that we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back this week to discuss episode 3 of "The Ones Who Live" entitled "Bye."

The writers told us to let go of a precise timeline and we discuss whether we're on the same page with that decision. We're three episodes in and hadn't yet talked about the opening sequence and theme song, so we share our reflections on that.  I ask Candi how the show opening compares to the other spinoffs.  We had a LOT of thoughts about Rick's big escape plan and loved every bit of Michonne's reaction to it. 

We've seen two women visit Rick in his apartment so far and neither one of them is Michonne.  We talk about the two women - Jadis and Thorne - who have visited Rick in his new home and whether or not we trust them.  Spoiler alert: we don't.

Thanks so much for listening! We will be back next week to discuss episode 4.  Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back this week to discuss episode 2 of "The Ones Who Live" entitled "Gone." We talk about Michonne's journey to find Rick and appreciate that despite encounters with human dangers like Negan and the Whisperers in the main series, we find her still open to new people. We also discuss her decision to withhold information about RJ from Rick.

Of course, we had to celebrate the amazing performance by Matthew Jeffers as Nat.  We praise Jeffers' performance and talk about his amazing chemistry with Dana Guirira, which is likely due to the two having prior acting history together.  Speaking of  chemistry, we loved all of the kissing and reconnecting between Richonne in this episode.  And we unpack our frustration with the character who threatened our favorite couple this week - Jadis, the wild card.

Thanks so much for listening! We will be back next week to discuss episode 3.  Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

My amazing conversation with Jay Giles about The Wire concludes with a bonus segment in which we reflect on the series as a whole. We share which season was our favorite and why.  And of course I had to ask Jay about the "controversial" second season of the series and whether or not he enjoyed it.  We talk about satisfying character deaths, our favorite moment of comeuppance, and other memorable character introductions beyond the pilot.

Thanks so much for listening!

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

Happy Wine Wednesday! In anticipation of the premiere of "The Ones Who Live" AKA the Richonne spinoff, Candi is back this week to discuss everything we love about this ship.  And on a programming note, we will be doing episode-by-episode coverage of "The Ones Who Live".

For this very special Richonne episode, we start off by talking about the characters individually and what we like so much about them.  From there, we get into all things Richonne.  We share the moment when we first started to see the romantic potential for the duo, the buildup to the pair becoming official, and where the writers left them at the end of The Walking Dead.  Of course we talk about the Grimes family as a whole and some of our favorite moments with them and we each share our favorite Richonne episode. 

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

My conversation with Jay about the pilot episode of The Wire continues! If you haven't listened to part 1 of our conversation, check it out here.  In this final part of our discussion about the pilot, we talk about what worked well in the episode and whether we would change anything about this well executed hour of television.  We examine whether The Wire is copaganda and close out the discussion with the thirst segment.  I asked Jay to do some thirst-inspired casting for the show. 

Thank you so much for listening! There will be a new episode next Wine Wednesday and keep an eye on your feed for the bonus segment in which Jay and I share reflections about The Wire beyond the pilot.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Jay Giles joined me this week for an amazing discussion about the pilot episode of one of the best series of all time - The Wire.  This is hands down one of my favorite discussions on the podcast and I think that's reflected in the run time for our discussion.  To spare you one very long episode, we've broken the chat down into three parts.  Enjoy part 1 and keep an eye on your feed for part 2 tomorrow.
