Nick tried to watch the queer love parade of Heartstopper and Red, White and Royal Blue, but fought some familiar neuroses instead. He also got to watch Venus Williams irl and listened to Emma talk about Only Murders season 3. Plenty of giggles and a fun new game, let’s go!

It’s a teen drama filled episode with Julie inspiring an OC rewatch and then leaving the chat and Netflix dropping the second season of Heartstopper. We’re diving into the first half of that precious queer show and also talking about maligned blondes, societal flaws, women in sports and the beanie baby movie. - plus some internet nonsense and a game!

Hi Gemstones! Team Takes is on a summer break, so we've got another bonus to tide you over. We finally got Julie to watch the Equalizer franchise in anticipation of the third installment in September. If you haven't watched, what are you waiting for? Or you can just listen to us spoil them.

Have a great weekend and thanks for listening!

Emma and Nick saw Barbie and Nick has gone full Ken with a deep v-neck shirt and a beach attitude. Julie’s on a dark and twistier path - not Oppenheimer but The OC in honor of its 20th anniversary and catchy theme song. We also finish out this season of Drag Race All Stars and listen to NIck’s breakdown of the latest in the Kpop world.

Dearest Gemstones! We're tending to some other tasks this week but we've got a bonus we'd love to share. We recently revisited Searching for Bobby Fischer - a collective favorite and a watch, or re-watch, we'd highly recommend joining us in. Have a great weekend!

Nick is feeling himself while living a low-fodmap lifestyle and Julie topped the parade as astronaut Barbie. Television has been slightly less triumphant, but The Bear is putting on a good show, tennis stars continue to shine at Wimbledon and we’ll see what these queens can pull out in the fame game extravaganza.

@1:00 - Hot takes | Fodmaps, parade princess, Wimbledon, The Bear, Drag Race. 

@24:00 - Tweets of the Week |  Wash yourselves and sing to me!

The lavender haze is just starting to fade as we recover from the Swifties sweeping through town and causing adorable mayhem. This season of Drag Race All Stars is winding down, Claim to Fame is not a recommendation but Julie’s impressions will stay with you, and it looks like summer programming is in full affect - pure chaos.
