The Besties fall down the rabbit hole of discussing what happened this weekend. From weddings to furniture shopping, to the exciting return of F1, the weekend apparently was so jam packed with fun that the Besties forgot to actually talk about the real topic. Melissa found a new love of the show Traitors and tries to get Jill to jump on the bandwagon with her. It ends with a quick discussion of what the hell is happening with Donald Trump’s face.

We begin the episode talking the latest VPR and The Valley news. Someone will be spending A LOT of time in federal prison in the next several years. They also talked a lot about some not as solid news that could mean big changes for The Valley cast. 

There were three major plot points this episode: drunk Danny, Michelle & Jesse’s relationship status, and Brittany confiding in Michelle that she isn’t afraid of the Big D. Mostly we saw Danny and Nia showcase what a normal, healthy relationship looks like, while the boys prove to be less than good friends to Danny. Newsflash, new dads struggle too sometimes. Otherwise it was all about the impending end of one, maybe two, major relationships.

Mel has put her clown nose, which must mean we are getting Reputation (Taylor’s Version) on Aug. 20th. All the stars are aligning according to the Besties. Jill gives an update on her Dad’s progress in the Throne of Glass series. 

We discuss the 90’s classic, Scream. Mel brings out her film school hat while Jill relives her childhood nightmare. The film has a perfect blend of writer, director, and star studded cast to create the best entry into the horror genre. Meta horror never felt so good.

The Besties kick off this episode with a small recap of the Olympics (we’re sad to see you go), and the intense trailer that dropped for Season 19 of Sister Wives. Let’s just say the ladies don’t seem to be warming up to Kody any time soon. 

Mel and Jill deep dive into the 1984 cult classic, Ghostbusters. The star-studded cast is full of comedy giants like Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis (RIP), Bill Murray, and Rick Moranis. This silly romp into an alternate universe where the normal and the paranormal collide aged pretty well, minus a few special effects here and there. 

Please also don’t mind the complete digress into Broadway shows. Jill was ADHD-ing real hard today.

The besties kick off this episode talking about some of the more recent events in the Olympics and how Noah Lyle kind of loves controversy. They’re also excited about Stassi’s return to reality TV!

This episode pissed off both Mel and Jill but in mildly different ways. Mel really didn’t like how Janet got mad at Jason over kind of nothing, but Jill could see the gray areas. And then Jill was mad about the Napoleon complex debate between Jason and Danny. But they both got really pissed about Jax’s treatment of Brittany, and the utter douche baggery of it all. Brittany, you deserve better.

The Besties start out this episode discussing the sad turn of events for the Vienna, Austria Eras Tour shows. They pivot to a happier topic of the iconic and historic pick of Tim Walz as the running mate for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. He’s the midwestern dad we didn’t know we needed. They also touch on early 2000’s favorites, Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake. (Justin gave Mel the ick from the beginning.)

They then dive into this lackluster episode for The Valley. Essentially it boils down to Jax being a jerk, Janet being a mean girl, and Jesse thinking drugs can act as a shortcut to intensive therapy. This being the eye before the storm in the upcoming episode, the Besties are hoping for a return to the copious amounts of drama the love from Bravo reality tv shows.

The first half of the episode the Besties discuss Deadpool & Wolverine, (No spoilers! We promise!) which somehow ends up in a discussion of animation to live action films. 

Then we gush about one of the best films to come out of the late 90s… Men In Black. We wholeheartedly feel this film stood the test of time and is just as entertaining and funny as it was in 1997.

The besties begin the episode whining about IT issues, and Rosie makes a quick guest appearance. We discuss Jax’s recent news which somehow turns into a discussion on the Kardashians relationships.

Mel and Jill finally get to the meat of the show which really consisted of a couple funny scenes and an ‘invite fight.’ Who are we kidding, the invite drama was basically the entire episode. From petty to pettier, the entire situation was like a poorly written episode of Secret Life of the American Teenager.

The Besties start off talking about their weekends of furniture and movies, and possible one of the 2024 summer blockbuster of the year. They then move into the craziness that was the Belgian Grand Prix and the unfortunate disqualification of George Russel. That lead them down the rabbit whole of silly season on the tail of Carlos Sainz announcing he’ll be moving to Williams for 2025. After that they just had to gush about their love of the Olympics, and their thoughts on the first few days of competition.

The Besties kick off the episode with some F1 news that Mel knew before Jill. We then have a quick discussion on our love of Costco, Ikea, and other big box stores, 

This episode of The Valley had several good conversations that made this episode rather enjoyable to watch compared to previous episodes. With a wide range of topics from gossiping, fertility specialists, sex therapists, PPD, and everything in between… the besties have thoughts.
