Takes All Over The Place

There’s a lot going on and it’s a lot to process! Luckily, Nick and Julie (blessed by Julia Garner: the patron saint of bone-chilling wails) have plenty of shiny things to distract from whatever “it”is for you. This week, Nick’s showing off his bangs and finally getting into After Party, Julie’s recapping Love is Blind and reminding us of the magic of Hot Ones (recently featuring Dave Grohl), and things get silly in a chicken-heavy tweet line-up and a game of Family Feud: Parents vs. Kids.

Show Notes:

In search of spiritual guidance and comfort, Nick and Julie have found themselves immersed in the vastly different realities of Ozark, The Great British Bake Off, and Love is Blind. And woven into that discussion, you’ll hear about Severance and After Party on Apple TV, Nick’s inability to drive a train (but proven ability to wear a shirt), Twitter wisdom and Charli XCX’s new line of enemas.

Nick and Julie are singing the praises of HBO Max content (reiterate title statment here) from The Gilded Age to Somebody Somewhere to Sort Of while still basking in the beautiful journey that was Station Eleven (and Game of Thrones…).
