In the Marquee Topic, we dive into last week’s 2019 Golden Globe Awards and give our thoughts on the show overall, the hosts, the winners and losers (justice for GAGA!) and our favorite moments.

In Episode 27, Josh is tackling the show solo as Maureen continues to get better from a rough sickness (fevers and coughing and germs oh my!). I talk about the death of Penny Marshall, Macaulay Culkin reprising his “Home Alone” character in a Google ad, the first images of Will Smith as the Genie in the live action “Aladdin” (holy topknot, Batman!) and the fact that there is STILL no Oscars host despite the ceremony being just two months away.

In the Marquee Topic, I give my picks for my favorite returning TV show this year, my favorite new TV show (comedy and drama), my favorite music from 2018 and my favorite movie from 2018.

PLUS, I give a very special teaser this week to close out 2018.

In Episode 26, we welcome guests Zac and Sally Crippen, the founders of the Vernacular Podcast Network, for a very special episode where the four of us rank a selection of 11 Christmas movies from worst to best.

Two of the films chosen for our list were automatically added due to their classic nature ("It’s A Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas"). Then, to round out the list, each of us chose two films to add. Maureen chose "Love Actually" and "Elf," Zac chose "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the 2000 live action version) and "The Holiday," Sally chose "You’ve Got Mail" and "Miracle on 34th Street" (the 1994 version) and Josh chose "Home Alone" and "The Santa Clause." Since there were so many others we didn’t pick (hey we all have kids and fulltime jobs), we opened up the list for one wild card. Of the wild card options ("Die Hard," "A Christmas Story," "TheMuppet Christmas Carol" and "Christmas Vacation"), "A Christmas Story" won out in a blind vote amongst the four of us. Animated classics like "The Grinch," "Rudolph" and "Frosty" were not eligible since they are too hard to compare to feature length films.

Once the films were chosen, we individually ranked each film on a scale of 1-10 in three categories. 1. Overall enjoyment of the film. 2. Overall quality of the film. 3. Christmas spirit. We then averaged everyone’s score to get a total out of 30. The film with the lowest score would be #11 and the film with the highest score would be #1. In the event of a tie (and there WAS a tie), the film with the highest average Christmas Spirit score would prevail.

The results might surprise you!

In Episode 25, we talk about the news that "Friends" would be leaving Netflix (and then the complete 180 just hours later that it would actually remain on the streaming service through 2019!), a debate on fashion standards between male and female musicians sparked by Beyonce and Ed Sheeran, Priyanka Chopra’s 75-foot wedding veil and the “Baby Shark” toy that (we are secretly so happy) is already sold out.

In our Marquee Topic, we chat about Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh being named the hosts for the 76th Annual Golden Globes and give our first impressions on the film and television nominations that were just announced on December 6.

In our Marquee Topic, we do a deep dive into the Amazon original series, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” ahead of its second season debuting December 5, 2018.

In Episode 23, we talk about the death of Marvel genius Stan Lee, the new family photo of the British Royal Family (and imagine what was going on behind the scenes), an SNL sketch from 2017 that made a real-world impact on a multi-billion dollar movie franchise and the new TV network from HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines.

In our Marquee Topic, after rewatching all 10 Thanksgiving episodes of “Friends,” we discuss our personal favorites, our least favorite, the BEST overall, the MVP of the episodes, what was most fun to see change over the course of 10 years and why Thanksgiving episodes are particularly fun to watch.

PLUS, in our Teasers this week, Josh recommends a recent “Saturday Night Live” sketch and Maureen recommends a podcast on personal finance.

Last note! No new episode next week - we are taking a week off to spend Thanksgiving with our family. We’ll be back with a brand new episode on November 30!

In Episode 22, we have a PACKED Snack Bag. In it, we talk about the (totally and extremely unnecessary) “Shrek” reboot, Ariana Grande’s new single, Matthew McConaughey’s claim that he could have been in “Titanic,” Idris Elba being named “People's” 2018 “Sexiest Man Alive” and the Spice Girls reuniting.

In our teeny Marquee Topic (the “Marqueeny Topic”) we talk about movie musicals and movie dramas with music, why they are such a consistent box office draw and some of our favorites and least favorites in the genre.

PLUS, in our Teasers this week, Josh suggests an informative podcast and Maureen suggests some new music she can’t get enough of.

In Episode 21, we talk about Rami Malek’s extremely awkward fan interaction, the Justin Bieber burrito prank seen around the world and some big casting news for the forthcoming Game of Thrones prequel.

In our Marquee Topic, we discuss the juggernaut musical Wicked, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary on Broadway after debuting on the Great White Way in 2003. We share our experiences with the show and Josh gives his very heated thoughts on why he thinks the show was robbed at the 2004 Tony Awards (talk about holding a grudge!). We also chat about the NBC special A Very Wicked Halloween, hosted by the original leads of the musical (Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth), that aired earlier this week and rank the seven songs sung during the special. Spoiler: the original stars were not as entertaining as we’d hoped they would be and pop superstar Ariana Grande surprised us in a good way.

PLUS, in our Teasers this week, Maureen offers some music to listen to while you work and Josh recommends a very good HBO dark comedy.

In Episode 20, we have a special guest for our Marquee Topic - Tiara Guy, a friend, colleague and movie super fan. But first, Maureen and Josh talk about David Schwimmer possibly being a thief (not really but we talk about a story where his doppelganger was caught stealing beer in England as well as Schwimmer’s direct response to the uncanny similarity), the fact that “NOW That’s What I Call Music!” still exists today in the age of streaming, the Enya song “Orinoco Flow” as it celebrates 30 years since its release and what’s leaving Netflix starting November 1 (dino fans, listen up!).

In our Marquee Topic, Tiara and Josh talk about the “Halloween” franchise in the wake of the most recent film’s release just last weekend and it’s incredible box office performance. Since Josh and Maureen are scaredy cats and can’t handle horror films, Tiara joined us to fill you in on what you need to know about the new “Halloween,” Michael Myers (and where he ranks in the pantheon of horror villains) and a brief discussion of scary movies as a whole. WARNING: spoilers ahead!

PLUS, in our Teasers this week, Maureen and Josh each recommend movies you should definitely make an effort to see in theaters if you can. Both are likely to be BIG players this awards season.
