  • "The Gilded Age" Season 2 Finale (Justice for Gladys!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Mummy Dearest , we unwrap the season 2 finale of the greatest show of all time: The Gilded Age. The finale was a perfect bow on top of a beautiful gift of a season. It had everything we've come to love and expect from The Gilded Age: Duke drama, fake friendships, Nathan Lane's southern accent, crossing the street, and Agnes being angry. What we didn't expect was a caked up George Russell sauntering around his office with skin tight clothes. Nor did we expect where the Duke ended up on the opening night of the Met and the Academy! It was a riveting finale and we unpack it all on this week's episode of Mummy Dearest!

  • "The Gilded Age" Season 2 Episode 7 (Justice for Oscar!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week we're unwrapping the penultimate episode of season 2 of "The Gilded Age". Our time has almost come to an end and we are as upset as a Duke eating a potentially spicy soup. This week gave us all the things we've come to love about "The Gilded Age": back cancer, floral arrangements, luncheon, 5 minutes of CGI fireworks, Bertha and George in their bedroom, scams, and another sister hug between Agnes and Ada. There are so many things unfolding with only one episode left! Will Marian marry cousin Douche-elle? Will Agnes leave the house? Will Maud Beaton be brought to justice? Will Bertha wear a gorgeous dress to the opening of the MET? I think we're safe to bet all the Van Rhijn money on that one. All that and so much more on this week's episode of Mummy Dearest!

  • "The Gilded Age" Season 2 Episode 6 (Justice for Reverend Forte!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Mummy Dearest Podcast we unwrap Season 2 Episode 6 of "The Gilded Age!" Literally this was one of the best episodes of TV to grace our televisions in a long time. We were laughing. We were crying. We were learning about patents in 1877! There are twists, there are turns and sadly there are backaches that aren't just backahes! Aunt Agnes leaves her house TWICE in one episode AND George Russell shows us his soft side. He is the hottest robber baron HBO has ever seen and if we don't get a season 3 we must strike! All that and so much more on this week's "Gilded Age" recap of Mummy Dearest Podcast!

  • "The Gilded Age" Season 2 Episode 5 (Justice for Aunt Ada!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Mummy Dearest Podcast we unwrap Season 2 Episode 5 of "The Gilded Age"! This week had it all: high stakes soup drama, Aunt Agnes leaving her house MULTIPLE times, an almost ruined dinner party, and the merest hint of sex between a married couple! There was of course other real drama like two characters being hunted but don't worry, they're ok! Our pantaloons were in a bunch with all the excitement from this week! Double soup hijinks in one episode? Calm down Julian Fellowes, our hearts can only take so much stress! All that and so much more on this week's "The Gilded Age" recap on Mummy Dearest Podcast!

  • "The Gilded Age" Season 2 Episode 4 (Justice for Mrs. Blane!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Mummy Dearest we unwrap Season 2 Episode 4 of HBO's perfect melodrama "The Gilded Age"! This week we got a peek at the new Met (which methinks George has paid to complete but that remains to be seen...), we get a peek at the Duke, and we get to see 90's wicked stepmother level line delivery when Bertha steals the aforementioned Duke from her past lady maid / rival. Can you say DRAMA? The most low level drama of all time but still it's DRAMA and that's all we ask for! This season is really kicking things into overdrive and we could not be happier. It's a perfect confection and we can't wait to see what happens next week on "The Gilded Age"!

  • Unfaithful (Justice for Diane Lane!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Mummy Dearest we're unwrapping 2002's erotic thriller: Unfaithful. It's the perfect fall movie: it's got swirling windy garbage, falling leaves, cozy knitwear, affairs, stairwell encounters, landfills, and death by snow globe. Truly, what does't this movie have? We stay weirdly on topic for most of the podcast and actually discuss the movie. Obviously there are a few detours but we manage to keep it nice and tight on this week's episode of Mummy Dearest podcast!

  • Autumn in New York (Justice for Vera Farmiga!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Mummy Dearest, Zach and Sloane unwrap 2000's dying manic pixie dream girl May/December romantic drama: Autumn in New York! This movie hits us with a lot of classic Mummy Dearest tropes: wacky hats, unique jobs, beadwork, surprise galas, waltzes, smelling the air when rain is coming, and dramatic heart surgeries. Would we watch this film again? Absolutely not. Did it give us the cozy fall vibes we needed? Absolutely, yes. Do we go slightly off topic and talk about whether or not Patrick Wilson is into butt stuff? Of course we do. All that and so much more on this week's episode of Mummy Dearest!

  • "The Gilded Age" Season 2 Episode 1 (Justice for Bertha Russell!)

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's back baby! The most beautifully boring show of all time: "The Gilded Age". We're  unpacking all the drama like watercolor classes (gasp!), opera fights (double gasp!), and unionizing steelworkers (boring!!) We're so happy this delightfully low-stakes and gorgeously done period piece is back on our  screens and we'll be recapping every episode since Sloane has to go to bed immediately after the episode airs because it's 10 p.m. on a school night. So this is where we can come and discuss all the frothy fashions and delectable gossip about "The Gilded Age" streaming now on MAX!
