This week Megan and Gillian watch the Bates Family clean their house, have a couple baby birthday parties, and announce pregnancies. Bringing Up Bates season 4 is jam packed with very mundane things becoming very complicated (because everything is complicated in a family of 21).

Like us and want to give us a buck? We're on Ko-Fi:

This week Megan and Gillian get into season 4 of Bringing Up Bates. The episode titles from the first 6 episodes are some of the worst we've heard yet, and there is a whole lot of cringe in this season so far in general. Come hang out with us!

We also just started a new page where you guys can give us a buck if you like our show: http://www.ko-fi.com/tvliterate

Thank you for all of your support! You all are the best and we love hearing from you on Instagram and all over the internet. 🖤

This week Megan and Gillian finally finish up Season 3 of Bringing up Bates! We did not mean to abandon y’all last week, Gillian had leg surgery along with like 1000 other things going wrong, so we ended up with like 15 minutes of an episode and decided to re-record! This week we take on Bradley’s birthday and the weird manipulation by withholding love and affection and gifts from your own children until they get married and have children of their own. We also dunk on Lawson, as per usual. Come hang out with us!

Megan and Gillian continue their journey with Bringing Up Bates Season 3 this week. We feel bad about bike riding bullying, Brandon and Michael's decor being thoroughly insulted, and the boys preparing for the Insurrection. Come hang out with us!

This week Megan and Gillian get deep into the thick of Michaela's wedding and honeymoon. We get thoroughly grossed out about how sex repressed these people are, lose our minds about some really bad dresses, and get mad at Gil and Kelly for treating their daughters like chattel. Come hang out with us!

Hello everyone! We're back this week with Bringing up Bates Season 2, Episode 8 to 14. There's so much packed into these few episodes, including cute babies, Lawson waterboarding himself accidentally, and a trip to Dollywood planned by the seat of their pants. Come hang out with us!

This week, Megan and Gillian dive into the second season of Bringing Up Bates! We cover the first 7 episodes, which somehow includes two baby showers, one birth, one engagement and house hunting??? Come hang out with us!

Hello everyone! This week Megan and Gillian finish up The Circle on Netflix. Obviously, if you don't know who won, there will be spoilers, so finish that binge watch then come hang out with us! We laugh, we cry, we are amazed that this game has gotten better since Season 1 by leaps and bounds. 

Hello everyone! This week Megan and Gillian get back to The Circle Season 2, which includes highlights such as: Why does Mitchell just say "Cheese...I love that"? How has Chloe never used a dustpan before? Who is gonna figure out who all of the catfishes are?? Come hang out!

TW: Josh Duggar, Child Abuse, CSA, etc.

Please skip this episode if any of the Josh Duggar news around the internet is triggering for you. We discuss the charges and Josh's previous wrongdoings at length, and we do not want to cause anyone any mental duress. We will be back next week with our Regularly Scheduled episode about The Circle. Stay safe and take care of yourselves!
