That's So Original Podcast

We kick this episode off in style with some sisterly rubbing of their naked bodies. That’s totally normal, right? Leni is fresh out of the woods with a head injury and hypothermia, but that doesn’t stop Jack from insisting she does school drop off. She is also doing her best Mrs. Doubtfire costume changes and throwing of her voice to play herself and Gina. But Sheriff Columbo has seen the movie and is on to her game. Also, her family is very observant and notice when Leni’s hair or earrings are different but couldn’t tell that affairs and drug deals were happening in their backyard? We get some flashbacks to the twins as teens and a young shirtless Jack. Is it too creepy to request some current day Bohmer shirtless scenes? Yes? No? Either way, we are here for it.

Gina and Leni are identical twins with a level of codependency that borders on criminal. Gina lives in California as a fancy author with assistants and a therapist husband. Leni lives in Virginia on a horse farm, wears side braids and chunky knit sweaters, has a daughter and is married to Matthew Bomer. Who really has the best life here? We vote Leni. Anyway, things go sideways when Leni goes missing. Gina rushes home to take long naps in Leni’s bed, play with headless dolls and generally make everyone uncomfortable. Where is Leni? Why does everyone hate Gina? What is Matt Bomer hiding? Why are their accents so terrible? Come along with us as we try to figure it all out.

It’s been a loooooong summer filled with vacations, job changes, Covid and major decluttering. We’ve been busy, busy people! But we haven’t forgotten you. Please enjoy this year’s Top Ten list as a peace offering while we get back on schedule with lambasting some original programming.

A famous poem tells the story of how Laura was walking along the beach with Andy and noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. Andy said, “Those footprints are from when I was following you.” Up ahead, Laura notices only one set of footprints and asks Andy why. Andy says, “That’s when I was suctioned to your back because I’m a parasite who’s obsessed with you.” We have so many questions at the end of this series: When will Andy be satisfied with knowing all of Laura’s business? Will she ever listen to a thing anyone tells her to do? Why is she completely unfazed with stumbling upon Vargas in the woods? Also, has Laura never heard of Goodwill? No matter what, we are thrilled there are no more pieces. Or are there?!?!?!

Do you ever feel like you’re overwhelmed? Like you’ve been abandoned by your mom in a parking lot outside a diner? You know what will make you feel better? Putting your hands on the back of your head. Trust us on this. It works for Andy in nearly every situation. This girl needs an acting coach and some breakfast STAT! In this episode, we get a ton of Andy’s childhood, when she was a terrible artist, and Laura’s fight with cancer, where she was a total dick to another patient. Both things that no one asked for. The only positive is the tiny actress that plays young Andy. Can we recast this entire show with her playing all the parts? She would make better acting choices, guaranteed.

It’s episode 6 and we are even further away from the source material. This is more of an abomination than adaptation, but we digress. Apparently, Andy is now a super spy and Vargas keeps an emergency stash of comically oversized push pins in his car for some reason. Note to self: don’t stay at a hotel in San Francisco if you don’t want randos coming into your room and trying on your clothes. Meanwhile, we get a look back at what really went down with the kidnapping. Remember that storyline? We also get a real creepy look into Jane’s relationship with her dad and Jasper’s relationship with his dad’s desk. This family needs Jesus. Put a pin in that.

We get less Andy in this episode, but don’t worry she’s still doing every stupid thing she can to capture our attention. Back in the past, we get the story behind the economic summit murder, kind of. Turns out Laura/Jane has a very weird relationship with her dad and an even weirder one with Gendry Baratheon. That’s a GOT joke in case you’re wondering. And we really need to talk about Barfield hanging onto that 30-year-old Nick and Jane sex tape. How much you want to bet there are pause marks at the good parts? We see you Barfield.

Oh dear, sweet, gullible Andy. Just when we think you’ve reached the bottom of your stupidity you manage to find an idiotic sub-basement. Girl, you are a sucker for breakfast and bad choices. We’d tell you to call your mom, but she’s in the midst of trying to get herself killed. Is there a family plan for caskets? Gordon better up that life insurance while he can.

Laura – Andy, you need to run and to keep a low profile. Don’t talk to anyone until you hear from me. Andy – So, make a scene, try to get laid, call everyone I know, steal a kid’s tablet and walk alone through the woods with a suitcase full of cash. Got it.

Why isn’t she dead yet? What is her plan? Do escrow people paint rooms where you live? What’s Laura’s deal anyway? When will she run out of scarves? Guess we have to keep watching to find out.

We pick up moments after episode one. Andy is on the run and making all kinds of really smart and not potentially dangerous, incredibly stupid choices. Honestly, she’s the worst. Are we supposed to be rooting for her or concerned for society? Laura is trying out neckerchiefs and aggressively cleaning, while Gordon disposes of a body. This family is the height of dysfunction. How much are copies at your local library? Betcha it’s not $2.
