  • Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette - Episode 5 Recap + Reaction

    In this episode of Previously On, Jillian dives into Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette - Episode 5, “Battery Park.” What she called a “vibes show” last week has officially entered its drama era.

    From a tense Hyannis family dinner to a surprise proposal, a very public denial, and the infamous Battery Park fight, this episode cracks open the fairytale and shows the pressure building around one of the most iconic couples of the ’90s. The love is still there, but so are the cameras, the expectations, and the weight of the Kennedy legacy.

    In honor of Jillian watching a lot of this ep covering her eyes, she counts down the Top 5 “Horror Movie” Moments of the episode that includes the Kennedy family foreign policy pop quiz, the unsettling proposal timing, and of course the infamous public fight. (Plus: Jessica Harper of Suspiria fame playing Ethel Kennedy? The horror vibes were baked in.)

    Jillian unpacks the proposal heard ’round the tabloids and why John’s denial to the press cuts so deep, especially for Carolyn, who is already struggling with the reality of what it means to enter his world. She explores Carolyn’s fear of losing herself, her hesitation about politics and public life, and her need for reassurance that she’ll be protected. And yes, we have to talk about that Goo Goo Dolls needle drop that seals one of the coolest, most complicated “yes” moments ever.

  • Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette - Episodes 1 thru 4 Recap

    In this episode of Previously On, Jillian's joined by her husband Tyler to break down the first four episodes of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, the FX and Hulu series chronicling the iconic, chaotic romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. This covers "Pilot," "The Pools Party," "America's Widow," and "I Love You."

    Jillian (resident Kennedy historian since her middle school Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis project) forces Tyler to enter the world of Camelot, Calvin Klein minimalism, and peak 90s New York. From JFK Jr.’s enviable Manhattan schedule (gym, Central Park football, black-tie events) to Carolyn’s ultimate cool-girl mystique, we dive into why this is a full-on vibes show and why we’re obsessed.


    We get into:

    - The dreamy 90s NYC aesthetic

    - The fashion and music moments (hello, Calvin Klein and “Linger”)

    - Why telling someone it’s a “party” when it’s actually your sister’s birthday dinner is diabolical

    - The Darryl Hannah takedown we weren't ready for

    - Why we don’t care about the exact facts because "it's a love story, baby just say yes"


    Plus, Tyler’s takes and what’s coming next in the next couple episodes (Central Park fight? Proposal? Hyannis? Paparazzi chaos?)

  • Tell Me Lies Season 3 Episode 8 Finale Recap + Ranking Characters Bad to Pure Evil

    In this episode of the Previously On TV podcast, Jillian is joined by her friend Kenny Marshall to recap and react to Tell Me Lies Season 3, Episode 8 "Are You Happy Now, That I'm on My Knees?" It's the last episode of TML ever and we are still not over how absolutely ICONIC (and unhinged) this ending was.


    We talk about why the finale being announced as the series finale basically sent everyone into a spiral, and how the show somehow managed to connect every single lie across seasons into one perfectly chaotic wedding night. From the very real “weddings are messy” conversation (Kenny has STORIES) to the question we cannot let go: how was that cake still uncut at 3AM?!


    We get into Stephen DeMarco’s toast turned roast (Jackson White… you ate), and why it was weirdly satisfying to watch the truth finally explode out of the most toxic person in the room. We break down the Top 5 Truths Revealed in the finale — including Pippa coming out to Wrigley, the Lucy/Evan bomb, the shocking Bree/Wrigley reveal, the truth about Yale, and the twist that made us gasp: who actually released the video. (And yes, we ask why no one asked Lucy Albright about looking like a hostage in the video… hello??)


    Then we dig into that ending: Lucy choosing Steven, the gas station moment, and why the scorpion and the frog theory still haunts us. Is she finally free? Is she laughing because she’s done? We debate the interpretations, but one thing is clear: Steven stings. Every. Time.


    Drop your thoughts on that ending in the comments! We want to hear from you.


    To wrap it all up, we rank the main Tell Me Lies characters from “bad” to “pure evil” — and I promise, this list gets CONTROVERSIAL. If you love messy TV, toxic friend groups, morally gray characters, and finales that leave you staring at the wall afterward… this one’s for you.
