Introverts' Night Out

Adulting is not the fun free-for-all we were led to expect, is it? Steph is ignoring texts, Judy doesn’t want to feed her family any more, and Amanda is dodging her responsibilities at every turn. Our phones won’t update, our cars need repairs, and no one shows up on time. Plus, someone ran a car into City Hall and now we can’t pay our water bills? Our consolation is realizing that no one else has figured this out yet, either.

Zombies, nuclear waste, and armageddons oh my! That's right, we introverts are down in numbers 'cause its the end of the world (in pop culture themes at least). Judy is away, prepping for the apocalypse, while Amanda, Stephanie, and Virginia do the planning. We talk all things from horrific scenarios to best case. So stock up and get ready for a ride to the end.

The Introverts are combining Forces with our friends at BPS to break down all our Rise of Skywalker feels. Amanda has been on a roller coaster, Steph found the deal of a lifetime, Dak is working through things and Virginia was right all along. Stay tuned for more with this special two-part episode.

Amanda’s podcasting dreams come true as we give the Salute treatment to the one, the only, Sebastian Stan. We reminisce about how good Once Upon a Time was once upon a time. Virginia and Steph rave about the life changing power of hot boy witches.  Judy didn’t think she could see past weird accents and bizarre mustaches, but Stan proves her wrong. And of course, we’re digging deep into the Winter Soldier and why he leaves an impression. Our minds go into gutter on this one. Not sorry.

Pop Open the Bubbly! The Introverts talk what they do for New Years and it's not going out clubbing. We talk about what food should and should not wiggle, to resolute or not to resolute, self-love, wedding panic (and Stephanie calms Virginia's fears), taking actual vacations, emotions, body parts, and European dish cloths. Our plans are grand and so is the comfy couch we sit on. It's going to take a lot to leave the comfort zone, but we think we can do it...as long as Stephanie comes back from Scotland. Someone has to help Amanda stop randomly donating to political campaigns! Also, Judy's love of the Splash Pad will make you all want to change your gym membership.

How do the introverts review such a busy year? Well, it starts with Virginia trying to explain "Old Town Road," the team listing their favorite movies, Judy sharing her love of Detective Pikachu, Amanda historic-fangirling over Harriet Tubman, and Stephanie angry-hating on Avenger's Endgame (yet her surprising enjoyment of Aladdin). Of course, we have to talk books and we aren't going to apologize for increasing your TBR pile. We also reflect on our podcasts, especially the one where Judy gets trapped in a basement and Stephanie saves her. Strippers, musicals, Mister Rogers, marathon running, and zombies are also some topics of note. Ready Or Not, it's time to grab your blanket and reminisce 2019 with us!

We’re celebrating the holidays with a look at our favorite holiday watchlists, making a case for the movies with a stealth Christmas theme. Judy had a Claymation Christmas fever dream that turned out to be real life. Amanda’s heart grows a couple of sizes while we rank the many, many versions of A Christmas Carol. Steph goes dark with an ER tie-in. Virginia goes old school with her favorites, and yes, she’s already heard your Santa jokes.  We’re just hoping that Santa brings us a Christmas movie that knows how publishing works.

Here Be Spoilers! Knives Out is the movie of the moment, and we’ll snuggled in like a favorite cozy sweater. Judy’s mind is in the gutter, Amanda is distracted by wardrobe, and Stephanie is loving every single minute.

All this, plus Virginia’s back! With wedding plans!

We’re listening to all our favorite Christmas jams and sharing our holiday Thank You No Thank Yous. We’re talking Judy through the Big Santa Talk, and sharing the joys of Christmas with kiddos. Judy has dramatic feelings about rodents, but Steph is full of ideas for pet holidays. Amanda throws out a plea to give books to your bookish friends.

Amanda, Judy, and Steph are reflecting and giving thanks, talking up their holiday traditions and the things that give them happy. Steph makes her case, again, for Chris Pine, and we reflect on a year in movies. Judy shares the saga of trying to get holiday jammies for everyone. Amanda offers up a tip for rolling out your sugar cookies and talks about her dessert line up. Yeah, It’s a food episode.
