Sisters Who Watch: Reality TV, Movies, and More!

It's time to ring the bell at The Oppenheim Group! In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Selling Sunset Season 8--the newest season of Netflix's real estate docusoap led by Jason and Brett Oppenheim. We analyze all of the onscreen and offscreen drama among the cast, most notably Bre Tiesi's allegations that Chelsea Lazkani's husband was cheating on her.

We discuss the many beefs and fashion faux pas of season 8, analyze whether Chrishell and Emma needed to take sides in Bre and Chelsea's fight, pour one out for Jason and Mary's dog Niko, spill the social media tea on Amanda's racist past, dissect the problematic "celebrity" cameos, celebrate Amanza's art show, explain why Nicole and Alanna should not come back to the show, and debate whether or not buying a car as a coping mechanism is a red flag.

Is love blind? In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Love Is Blind Season 7 Episodes 1-9, the newest season based in Chocolate City--Washington, DC! We analyze all the couples that made it out of the pods and debate who will actually make it down the altar. Heads up -- we're concerned that only one couple will get married.

We discuss how Season 7 is already a chaotic mess, celebrate the Black love and body diversity in this season, dissect Marissa and Ramses' awkward convos about birth control and the military, decipher Stephen's bizarre kinky texts, and spill the social media tea on Tyler's "sperm babies" and secret family. We'll have an episode on the last 3 episodes of Season 7, too, so make sure to tune in for our thoughts on how this season ends!

Why so serious? In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review Todd Phillips's musical sequel film Joker: Folie a Deux starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. 5 years after the oscar-winning Joker film premiered, Arthur Fleck is back, imprisoned, on trial, falling in love with Harley Quinn, and randomly singing across Arkham. Spoiler alert -- Joker 2 did not live up to our sky high expectations and had way too much music.

Shelby and Laura dissect Joker: Folie a Deux's shocking box office flop and scathing reviews, explain what "folie a deux" actually means, highlight our few favorite moments, including the opening cartoon scene and when Arthur decides to represent himself in full clown makeup, analyze what went wrong with the film's many musical numbers, discuss how Lady Gaga was underutilized as Harley Quinn, and debate whether having an alter ego is a green flag.

Now, this is a story all about how we reviewed The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot! In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review Bel-Air Season 3. The very black and bougie Peacock Original show is back and we have a lot of thoughts. Spoiler alert -- we have differing opinions on whether or not this season is a watch.

We celebrate Morgan Cooper's success story of getting Bel-Air made, analyze how the OG show was Will Smith's claim to fame, explain why Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil are the best characters and that all of their kids, especially Will and Carlton are ungrateful, highlight our favorite moments, like whenever Lisa is onscreen and the Black Lotus vacation, discuss some problematic and colorist casting choices, dissect the crazy final few minutes of the finale and why Geoffrey needs to come back ASAP, predict what will happen with Hilary and Jazz now that LaMarcus has died, and debate whether or not getting back with an ex is a red flag.

It's officially football season! In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears and the start of the 2024 NFL Season. It has been a crazy few weeks filled with upset wins, like the Saints blowing out the Cowboys in Dallas, surprisingly strong starts, like the Sam Darnold-led Vikings starting the season 3-0, and player rejuvenations, like Saquon Barkley's new look on the Eagles. We dive into it all!

We discuss the sky-high expectations for #1 overall pick Caleb Williams, gush over Simone Biles' cameo in Hard Knocks, hope that the Chiefs will not three-peat, analyze all of the player injuries and the big impact on fantasy football, explain why there is parity across the league, highlight how Jason Kelce is everywhere right now, dissect the drama around Kendrick Lamar headlining the Halftime Show in New Orleans, give our Super Bowl predictions, and debate whether or not telling your husband how to wear his facial hair is a red flag (*cough* Kelly Eberflus *cough*).

Is love blind in the UK? In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Netflix's Love Is Blind UK Season 1 hosted by Emma and Matt Willis. Spoiler alert -- this show exceeded expectations and may be the best Love Is Blind franchise. From the mature cast to the Greece vacations to the high production value to the gorgeous wedding venues, we were very impressed.

We analyze all of the final six couples and how the seemingly most solid one--Sabrina and Steven--fell apart outside of the pods, dissect Tom's judgmental behavior towards Maria, explain why we never trusted Ollie, celebrate our queen Demi choosing herself, gush over Bobby, Benaiah, and Freddie for being amazing men and treating their women well, highlight our favorite moments, like Benaiah proposing to Nicole, Freddie saying no at the altar to Cat, and Bobby's rap song closing out the show, and debate whether or not dating someone else from the pods after the experiment is a red flag.

Bachelor Nation! Will you accept this rose 🌹? In this episode, Shelby and Laura review The Bachelorette Season 21 starring Jenn Tran--the show's first Asian-American lead. Spoiler alert -- this history-making season had way more low points than high ones, especially the dramatic finale where Jenn had to watch back her proposal while sitting next to Devin--the man that dumped and played her.

We explain why the producers set up Jenn to fail by not casting the right men for her, analyze all of the messy drama between Devin, Aaron, Sam M., and Thomas N., highlight our few favorite moments, like Jonathon and Jenn playing lacrosse and Jeremy's Stew Leonard's hometown date, spill the tea about Marcus's problematic dating history, dissect how the Bachelor franchise has a track record of doing diverse leads dirty, discuss why we aren't excited for Grant's season of The Bachelor, predict who will be cast on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise, and debate whether or not going on the show hoping for a certain lead is a red flag.

Yes, chef 👩🏾‍🍳! In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review The Bear Season 3. The Emmy-award winning Fx on Hulu Original show is back we have a lot of thoughts. Spoiler alert -- Season 3 did not live up to the sky-high expectations and was a lot slower and darker than we had hoped.

We explain why Season 3 had too many filler episodes that didn't move the plot along, celebrate Ayo Edebiri's spectacular directing of "Napkins", analyze our favorite guest stars (Joel McHale) and our least favorite ones (John Cena), highlight all of the celebrity chef cameos like Christina Tosi and Wylie DuFresne, dissect Carmy's lack of growth all season, predict if Sydney will accept her new job offer, and debate whether or not asking your friend's ex to take your friend back is a green flag.

Islanders, please gather around the fire pit immediately 🔥! In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review Love Island UK Season 11 hosted by Maya Jama. Tune in for a laughter-filled episode full of piping hot accusations that Joey Essex was a producer plant, reactions to the show's most annoying moments, like Ronnie's eggy boff game and Uma leaving with Wil after he was dumped from the island, and fake British accents.

We explain why Season 11 paled in comparison to Season 10, celebrate black love, especially Josh and Mimii's historic win, analyze Joey and Sean's toxic bromance, highlight our least favorite moments, like Joey's "secret mission" and the islanders' cringey talent show, dissect how Ayo and Jessica's relationship withstood all of the drama, predict which couples will stay together (we're looking at you Ciaran and Nicole), discuss who should be cast on Love Island All Stars Season 2, and debate whether or not having opinions about other people's relationships is a red flag.

Bonjour! In this episode, Shelby and Laura, review the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. We've been obsessed with the Olympics for two weeks straight and cannot contain our excitement for America's dominance in the games. USA! USA! USA!

Shelby and Laura celebrate record-breaking performances from Simone Biles and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, give Peacock it's props for a seamless streaming experience, highlight our favorite moments, including Noah Lyles's 100M photo finish and Steph Curry's four straight three-pointers to close the Men's Basketball gold medal game, analyze the opening ceremony and breakdancing (*cough* Raygun *cough*) controversies, explain why our country needed and rallied around the Olympics, and debate whether predicting you'll win a race is a green flag.
