Useless Opinions

It’s an actor-attractiveness double feature! Again, Dan and Blair are recording in the same room, but this time, we are not questioning whether or not Brian Cox is erotic, we are affirming that the septugenarian Scott is. Also we talk politics for a bit, and if you didn’t know what we were about in that regard, you know now! 

WE MADE IT TO EPISODE TEN! In this very special episode, Blair and Dan are in the same room! After some technical difficulties, we discuss, among other things, whether or not we find Timothee Chalamet attractive, and, more importantly, in what contexts. Thank you for helping us get to this milestone! 

Listeners rejoice! This is the episode in which Dan realizes that his good mic has been off for eight episodes and you’ve been listening to computer audio. While you enjoy the sudden jump in audio quality, also enjoy Blair and Dan struggling to articulate a complex opinion, and discussing the strangeness of Game of Thrones! But it’s the mic that’s the important one. 

The thing is, we can barely speak English. Kermit the Frog makes an appearance here, James Bond (the cat) provides some ASMR, and Blair probably missed the portion where she should’ve added a ham horn somewhere in this edit. C’est la vie! 

This is Blair’s vanity episode and the hill she will die on (but if you do spell Blaire with an e we are accepting and understanding). Dan introduces a new segment. Blair does a really bad British accent. Dan also expresses his worries about every child star ever. 

In this episode, Blair realizes she is the last Nodelman and has a slight mental breakdown on air. We also talk about the weirdest scene in Jerry Maguire and the origins of “Here Comes the Bride”. We also shit on the college application process because it is truly an awful system. 

We go back to Blair’s hometown of Albuquerque, Dan’s home state of Connecticut, and decide what kitchen appliance we think we are. But mostly, we talk about food so make sure you have a snack nearby. 

We also want to mention a content warning for disordered eating. We’ve included some resources if you are struggling below.

This one goes deep into the teenage psyche, which is an unfortunate romp perhaps. Prom disappointments, coming to terms with the fact that there is no such thing as happily ever after, and how our rebellions were not really that rebellious. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, which was each of going to arts camp. Ya, we were those kids. 

We said we definitely would talk about something else. Not this time, folks! This is the episode where all we talk about is Avatar: The Last Airbender. That’s it. It’s perfect television. There is no debate. Listen and learn.

It’s episode two, electric boogaloo! This week, Blair and Dan discuss why Star Wars is considered a “space opera,” the feelings Heath Ledger brings out in us, and Dan’s unfortunate childhood dog experience.
