Viewing Party

In a special episode for the first of the year, Wesleigh sits down with her Dad and sister, Whitneigh, on Christmas Eve to talk about Fantasia (Her father requested this title after hearing the pilot, so we're bringing him on as a guest!). In this episode you can hear us noisily stirring bourbon slush, Whitneigh shares the scariest episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, Dad posits the theory that everything from I Love Lucy to Dirty Dancing can be traced back to this movie, and Wesleigh teaches her family about Star War's blue milk. Guest-starring Whitneigh's son Marshall!

Happy Holidays, Partiers! A Tatumverse episode fell on Christmas this year, so we put together a special show for you, totally on purpose on and not for any other reason. In this episode Katie shares her dreams of being friends with Channing, Wesleigh proposes the concept of Birthday Santas, we see a Star War and talk about our favorite Christmas traditions.

This week we watched Wesleigh’s holiday pick: The Holiday! You have to get past 10 minutes of us talking about Jude Law’s hair, but we do eventually discuss the movie. In this episode Katie describes some ideal artwork she’d like to commission, we discuss the British royals, and Wesleigh gushes over how cute Jack Black is in this role.

It's time for a Very Special episode for the holidays! In our second installment of Would You Watch This?, we review trailers for Hallmark original holiday romance movies — much to Wesleigh's delight and Katie's chagrin. In this episode we make up alternate plots that would be even better, talk a lot about trains, and Katie declares Wesleigh to be a bad friend.

Prepare for your heart to grow three sizes today: We're kicking off a month of holiday episodes with the classic TV special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! This is Katie's pick for the season and backs up her unpopular opinion of disliking Christmas songs and decorations. In this episode we also cover Christmas Shoes, our favorite Dr. Seuss books, and the terrible holiday play Wesleigh wrote in high school for her youth group.

For our last movie of Wesleigh’s birthday month, we’re talking about the adorable Penelope! In this episode we recount our Thanksgivings, ruin Bambi, pitch a new dating reality show, discuss why the church prepares us for marriage but not singleness, and consider adding hand bells to our theme song.

We take a break from birthday picks to revisit the Tatumverse is this week's movie, the predictable and forgettable Fighting. This episode features your hosts' thoughts on recent Lion King and LOTR announcements, that Twilight side-story novella, a tangent that somehow ends up at pickle soup recipes, and our favorite non-manatee animal, Fiona the Baby Hippo!

We're continuing Wesleigh's birthday month with another favorite movie of hers: Stranger Than Fiction! In this episode we discuss the current rash of Hollywood abuse scandals, comedic actors in serious roles, Wesleigh's dream of a Jeff Goldblum/Stanley Tucci talk show, and Katie's recent viewing of Thor: Ragnarok. Plus manatees!

We're celebrating Wesleigh's birthday this month with her favorite movies! First up is the film that everyone is confused to hear she loves: Fight Club. In this episode we discover Katie's calling as a morning zoo deejay, learn the Tyler Durden-iest thing to happen at Wesleigh's college, reminisce about MySpace, and have a mini existential crisis on air.

Join us for a spooky episode this week as Viewing Party celebrates Halloween by watching What Lies Beneath with scary movie fan (and Katie's sister) Hannah! Hear us talk about gaslighting, describe our own near-break-in experiences, and have an extended discussion of Harrison’s chest hair.
