Indoorswomen

Hi Home Koalas! Today Meg & Jen discuss serial characters, or characters played by multiple actors. How does this play with continuity or play with our minds? And who are our favorites?

Bonus: random recs include "Isn't it Romantic" and "Russian Doll"

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

It's Oscars time again! To celebrate the 91st Academy Awards, we're bringing you this Oscar-filled episode.

We discuss two classic Best Picture winners we had never seen before: The Godfather and Casablanca.

You can also time travel to the past with us as we share some thoughts on how the 2019 Awards might play out (we recorded before they aired, what can we say?)

Plus, we play a game of Fictional Five and wrap up with recommendations for David Tennant Does a Podcast With… and Kentucky Route Zero.

Orgasm! OK, now that we have your attention:

For episode 69 (nice), we're talking all about Fifty Shades of Grey. We even defend the trilogy a little, shock!

We also play a game of Marry, Sex, Kill, because of course we do. (And we newly dub the game Wed, Bed, Behead.)

Our random recs are The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and The Great British Baking Show.

You'll want to stick around for the bloopers at the end, trust us.

Today we are talking pop culture proms!

We all know the tropes of a high school dance, often the climax of a classic teen flick.

You crown a queen

You give a speech

There's a dramatic reveal

Someone plays a nasty trick

Someone murders everyone in a blaze of hellfire

You know, prom stuff!

We talk favorite speeches, best dresses, and best themes. Mentions include 10 Things I hate About You, Carrie, Buffy, Never Been Kissed, Mean Girls, Pretty in Pink, and more. Stay tuned for our random recs from three episodes ago: To all the Boys I've Loved Before and Crazy Rich Asians.

Why do time travelers love Rachel McAdams so much? We watched The Time Traveler's Wife, About Time, Doctor Strange, and Midnight in Paris to get to the bottom of this peculiar typecasting. Yep, it's an episode all about Rachel McAdams, romance, and time travel—what's not to love?

(Special shout-out to Jaslyn of the High Expectations Podcast for convincing us to watch About Time.)

We also play a game of Fictional Five and chat about our fave sci-fi crushes.

SHAAAAAAAARK!!!!

Inspired by The Meg and Shark Week, today we are talking sharks in pop culture. We discuss these and some of our favorites: Jaws, The Shallows, Sharknado, and some shoutouts to random sharks in pop culture.

But, before we get to the sharks, we have a special presentation! Jen interviews Meg about her new book and her thoughts on writing. Red Tea, a murder mystery set in Japan, was recently published, and Meg answers all of Jen's hard-hitting questions (that maybe don't hit that hard). Buy it here: Red Tea by Meg Mezeske

I'm vacationing so you guys get a dose of my thoughts on pop culture + vacation. Lots of rambling, very few actual recommendations... -Jen

And then our re-run about nostalgia culture!! Original show notes:

Today we are talking about nostalgia. Reboots, remakes, and callbacks to other eras dominate our movies and prestige television. We are here to talk about the phenomenon, our favorites, and what makes us feel nostalgic.

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