Hello! From the side of your brain you let sleep when your phone dies. In it, Nick is now a Georgian (the country) movie connoisseur, Julie can run down most of the content from tv experiment Quibi, and Emma found the Moving Parts documentary and has since experienced movement in various parts of her soul. And of course we stay super current by giving you our takes on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 12, episode 7 aka Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical .

Also featuring: 

And Then We Danced, the definition of humble bragging, counter irritants, Vision Quest, splits challenge apps, and our friend and yours, Trixie Mattel.

It's the first fashion challenge of Drag Race season 12 and Nick and Julie are bringing you a "live" runway report, in addition to all their other thoughts and feelings.

Nick and Julie are bringing you full-tilt joy this week! Julie tries to stay on topic with an exploration of Netflix's Next in Fashion and the classic, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Nick gets lost in the worlds of tennis, TENS units, and President's Day Party Tricks. Oh yeah, and we tried to like Younger for Nick - it's a struggle.
