Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 12: You Must Apprehend All The Creatures (Pokemon Go)

Hey, everyone! This is a very special episode, as we have our first remote segment! Which was promptly interrupted by a very nice and very persistent woman who wanted us to teach her, “What is a Pokemon and how do I play it?”

Erin would like it on record that in the two weeks since we recorded this episode, she has reached Level 21, caught a wild Pikachu, and hatched a better-CP Pikachu. She has named her Pikachu “My Precious”, and is still super into the game. She is now on a mission to apprehend all the creatures.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 11.5: Accidental Porpoising (“Hamilton” NCCs, Now With Edits!)

Hey everyone! Remember that time that Erin spent hours editing this episode, only for Audacity to ignore all her edits and save the raw file as an MP3, and she didn’t realize it so she posted it and then had to take it down and re-edit?

No? Good. Pretend that never happened and this is what we posted all along.

We had a lot of No-Context Corrections (NCCs) from our “Hamilton” episode…enough to make a whole episode out of them. A whole episode that both starts and ends with Melissa McCarthy, who has nothing to do with “Hamilton”. But you know us. That’s how we roll.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 11: Nunabashedly Obsessed (“Hamilton” and “RENT”)

Hey, everyone! Today we celebrate James’s birthday, and tackle the hard-hitting questions on everyone’s mind: How does Periscope work? How Does “Hamilton” compare to “RENT”? Just how smart IS Lin-Manuel Miranda? Was Alexander Hamilton the Kanye West of his time? Is waxing your ears a good idea, or a bad one?

Today’s review buzzword is “nun”, as James’s autocorrect seems to think he’s more into “Sister Act” than he actually is.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 10: Hi, Marc! (Movies, Collections, and Bad Dates)

It’s a long one but a good one! James’s Friend Marc joins us for a lively discussion of movies, things we’ve collected in our lives, and our worst/most awkward dates. (Erin feels it important to note that at the time of this writing, Marc has still not rated or reviewed us on iTunes.)

Today the “F” stands for Failure (specifically Marc’s, to post a review) and the review buzzword is “engage”.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 9: Rouglas the Bear (Summer)

Hey everyone! This week we discuss summer: what we like about it, what we hate about it (HUMIDITYYYYYYYY), other things about (and not about) it. We also talk about recording a Vine during an episode that Erin’s computer deleted, so if you have no idea what we’re talking about, that’s why!

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 8: The Fan Edition (Musical Numbers in Movies)

Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of Unabashedly Obsessed. This week, we discuss one of James’s favorite things ever–musical performances in movies, not to be confused with movies that are musicals. Under discussion are That Thing You Do!, Pitch Perfect (1 and 2), Crossroads, and Empire Records. If you haven’t seen Crossroads, get on Netflix and watch it RIGHT NOW because Erin says to.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 7: Banana Fanna Fo Fodcast (TV)

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Unabashedly Obsessed. This time, we talk about Stephen King (again) (because he’s the best), and television. James hates spoilers (no, really, he REALLY hates spoilers) and Erin creates a new reality show.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 6B: Monkey Whistle (Teen Music)

In the second and final (?) installment of the Monkey Whistle series, we discuss music that makes us feel like adolescents again. Boy bands, pop punk, and…yeah, that’s all we’ve got.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 6A: James and Erin Write a Movie (Sweet Action)

Our sixth episode was so long we opted to split it into two episodes. We seriously underestimate our ability to talk.

In Episode 6 part A, James and Erin Write a Movie! Also, Erin says “porno” a lot, and accidentally uses her sultry voice in the intro.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 5: Potpourri (Potpourri)

What’s that, you ask? Can Erin and James stay on topic? Not today we can’t. In this episode, we just ramble. I mean, it’s good rambling, but we don’t even come close to the theme we’d initially planned on discussing. But you know, sometimes it’s important to know when to throw your plans out the window and just talk about home fragrance and why you shouldn’t eat it.
