So...I'm Watching This Show

It's Midsummer! We're going to talk about A Midsummer Night's Dream. We're going to focus on two iterations: the 2013 Globe Theater show, and the 1999 film.

On this episode we'll be talking about Season 2 part 1, the first ten episodes. Some in greater detail than others. Kristin has curated her top picks from the season and had Wil refresh himself on them. Do they always stay on topic? Nah, but do they ever?

We've finally caught up on Sense 8 and boy do we have some things to say. Since it's Pride month, we decided to pair Sense 8 with Netflix's reboot of Queer Eye. If you like to see people just being nice to each other, then Queer Eye is for you.

We really liked Ocean’s 8. This should surprise none of you since it’s chock full of a bunch of our favorite ladies. It was an apt spin-off of the Clooney movie and it’s about fashion and jewels. Honestly it checks off so many boxes for us. And no one spilled a mountain of ranch dressing all over themselves so it was a good night.

We also wanted to touch on a few Broadway shows this episode. In particular, Mean Girls and Frozen. We’ve been fans of Broadway stage plays as much as we can be as medium poor people who live in Florida. But we’ve got our finger on the pulse. Both shows have been doing the talk show rounds and we’ve been mostly impressed with what they both have on offer. What we’ve seen of Frozen is slightly underwhelming, but in general we’re enjoying what we’re seeing.

This episode is a little all over the place, but stick with us. Just because we’re a little unfocused doesn’t mean we’re not having fun! So hang out with us while we chat about Ocean’s 8 and whatever sounds good at the time!

We don't chat much about the actual quality of Won't You Be My Neighbor, which was very high. Instead we talk about the things it made us think about: What does it mean to be a christian or republican today versus 40 years ago. How can we be better accepting of all people? Things like that.

So this episode is about Once Upon a Time, and it's all over the place. But since the show itself is an absolute train wreck, you should feel right at home with us today! OUAT has finally, mercifully come to an end, and while Kristin didn't watch ALL of it, Wil did and boy does he have some opinions.

It should be no surprise by now that Wil is a big fan of mermaids. In most ways, shapes, and forms, Wil truly loves the half-fish/half-human sea creatures. So you can imagine his excitement when Freeform announced Siren, a teen soap about said mermaids. A match made in heaven, I'd say.

For at least half of this episode we are a household divided. Friends turned foes. Allies turned enemy. Kristin liked Solo: A Star Wars Story, and Wil did not. Though to be fair, there were some extenuating circumstances...

We're testing out something new today; our monthly music roundup! We love music and we want a chance to talk about it, but integrating it in with our TV and movie chats just wasn't working. So once a month(ish) we're going to just catch up on the world of pop music

It should shock no one that we completely loved this movie, and not just the parts with Cable with his shirt off. Though that was a REALLY nice treat. Deadpool 2 is an excellent follow up to the first and we want more. Will it wear out its welcome eventually? Probably, but not yet.
