Indoorswomen

Today we are chatting about documentaries! Stick with us, because even if you aren't a fan of the usual documentary fare, we are sure you'll find something to like in our choices about unusual competitions (Somm, Barista, King of Kong), or blowing the lid off the MPAA rating system (This Film is Not Yet Rated), or chronicling the life of one of our favorite characters/actors (For the Love of Spock).

And stay for our gushing review of Wonder Woman!

As always, our amazing intro/outro music is "We are Highscore" by Krackatoa.

Robots! We love 'em. In real life and especially in pop culture. Join us as we talk all things robot, droid, cyborg, and AI, from lovable WALL-E to the not-so-lovable T-800. Beep boop.

Share your robo-thoughts with us on Twitter (@indoorswomen)!

Hey guys! Today we marvel (heh) at Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2, sharing our positive vibes and nitpicking a few tired tropes. We also play Gender Swap, casting a gender-swapped version of Guardians as well as swapping Sherlock and the Avengers!

Share what you think about the movie on twitter (@indoorswomen)!

Today we are talking Pop Culture Comfort Food and Pop Culture Self Care. This is the pop culture that makes us feel good, it feeds the soul - the old favorites we turn to in times of stress or sickness. In other words, Treat. Yo. Self.

We delve into Disney (and Buffy) singalongs, books with creased covers and broken spines, period dramas like Downton Abbey, podcasts (of course), and other favorites.

Plus, random recs of recent HBO programming (Big Little Lies, anyone?) and the pocket cast app.

People still get the "Yo, Dawg" meme, right? Right?!

This episode kicks off our Women Who Stare at Tropes series. We're talking bottle episodes this time around: Buffy, Doctor Who, Angel, Homicide: Life on the Street, Friends, and Sealab 2021, for starters.

Plus, we play a game of TV Tropes Roulette. It's trope-tacular!

What's your favorite bottle episode? Holler at us on Twitter @indoorswomen (or, you know, compose a polite tweet).

You are invited to our virtual slumber party! Meg and Jen, so rarely in the same place at the same time, got to record this in Jen's living room, while having a real-life slumber party. With wine.

We play games (the classic Marry Sex Kill, plus a pop culture version of M.A.S.H.). We also talk 'ships for the first time since our pilot episode. Are you a Bones/Booth shipper? How about Niles/Daphne? Scully/Mulder? Rapunzel/Flynn? Tony/Pepper? Iron Man/Captain America? Shout out to us on twitter: @indoorswomen

Last episode, we assigned each other pop culture homework. Now it's time for our pop culture report cards!

We discuss what we thought about Battlestar Galactica and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Especially the important bits of both shows. You know, Avatar's adorable hybrid animals, the Cylons' limited-edition models, and how this all relates to zombie movies somehow.

Bonus: Geek Out! makes another appearance, and we leave you with our random recommendations. Something we don't recommend: naming a drink "Pocari Sweat." Mmmm.

Today's topic is: What pop culture makes us cry? Whether it is joy, sadness, or excitement, what makes us a little misty? Spoiler: we have never cried. Ever. Ok, that's a lie.

We list sad themes, specific moments, crying triggers, and Meg does extensive psychological research to justify being a giant crybaby. From the emotional manipulation of sad music and tense storylines, it basically all makes us blubber. Especially Tom Hanks. Damn that Tom Hanks. It's the least sad podcast about crying ever! Plus, memes of the past!

Bonus: a discussion of that really long episode of Jimmy Kimmel: the Oscars! We chat about our excitement about Moonlight's win, our horror over the mix-up, and our ambivalence about Jimmy Kimmel's hosting.

Tune in next week for a discussion of the pop culture homework we gleefully assign each other at the end of this episode. It's fun to make people do things.

Hi all! We were so excited to be back in the recording studio (aka our respective homes) after a month away! We kick off our return with a new Strength of Character segment, inducting The Office's Michael Scott and The Mary Tyler Moore Show's Mary Richards into our little Hall of Fame.

Our main event today is Pop Culture Completism. What is it about someone that makes us want to pursue all of their work? Do we do this? Do you?

We talk about directors and writers (Joss Whedon, Jane Espenson, Charlie Kaufman, Wes Anderson), authors (Donna Tartt, Neal Stephenson, Rainbow Rowell, JK Rowling), and actors (Ewan McGregor, Dan Stevens), plus many more!

Tweet at us (@indoorswomen) with your thoughts on completism!

Bonus ending feature: our Oscar predictions! We fearlessly predict some of the bigger awards, even though we aren't caught up on our movie watching. Tune in next time for Oscar commentary.

Hi all! We have a re-run for you today: one of our favorite episodes about superheroes! It is also the first episode in which we play "fictional five".

Our main segment is about superhero fatigue, in which we discuss both comic book movie/tv universes but mostly Marvel! Superheroes - passe or here to stay? Superheroes have made the jump from comic book pages to screens big and small. Is the culture saturated? Who are our favorites? Who are we tired of? Also: if we had superpowers, what would they be?

Plus, tangents!

Spoiler: Meg and Jen are not particularly "Superhero Fatigued".
