We Are Not Amused

Welcome back to Middlemarch! In this episode, Tressa and Taylor discuss book 5 and only book 5. Turns out a lot more happened in this book than either of us realized and we’re still trying to figure it all out. Join us as we discuss Casaubon, Dorothea, Will, Lydgate, and Rosamund while all we really want to talk about are the Garths and the Vincys.

Welcome to Season 2 of We Are Not Amused! We're kicking off this year with (you guessed it) another Harry Potter episode! Today we're covering the fantastic HBO special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts. Join us as we discuss noteworthy moments, featured guests, and all those fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. 

Today on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor discuss the most wonderful time of year…CHRISTMAS! Join us as we compare UK traditions to US traditions including food, carols, ocean swims, and church services. We also talk about our own personal Christmas traditions and sing way too much during this episode. Enjoy!!

This week on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor share their thoughts on Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald! Join us as we discuss our favorite new creatures (you can probably guess one of them) and characters (helloooo Theseus), try to figure out where seemingly important characters went (Bunty? Are you okay?), and try to work out the many (many) storylines that take place in the film.

On this week's episode of We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor discuss the British Invasion! Join us as we discuss four different groups/artists, why it happened when it happened, and how it went beyond just the music we all know and love. Quick disclaimer: we had some major technical difficulties with this episode and strongly recommend listening with headphones. 

Hear ye, hear ye! This week’s episode features our (mis)adventures at this year’s Kansas City Renaissance Festival! Join us as we discuss the fun alcohol-filled events we attended, new friends we made, and the struggle to get Tressa a turkey leg.

During the newest episode of We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor discuss The Great British Baking Show. This time we narrowed it down to one specific episode (for the most part). The week we both look forward to the most - Bread Week! Listen along as we talk about our favorite and least favorite contestants, Paul Hollywood’s budget, the disturbing image of the infamous bread baby, and why bread week may just be the hardest week. And, as always, SPOILERS!!!

In today's episode, we bring you the stories of two brilliant scientists: Joan Curran and Jocelyn Bell Burnell! Join us as we celebrate their accomplishments and discuss their challenges as women in male-dominated industries. (Please excuse our technical difficulties in this episode...it was a bit of a struggle to get this one recorded!) Grab yourself a glass of Bigelow French Vanilla wine (or tea...whatever you prefer) and enjoy the stories of these strong female scientists! 

Episode 19 of We Are Not Amused is live! In this episode, Tressa and Taylor discuss books 3 and 4 of "Middlemarch” by George Eliot. Listen along as we complain about clueless Dorothea, debate on if these relationships are healthy, say the word “will'' way too much, and spend most of the episode attempting to discover how everyone is related. Grab a nice cup of tea and come along to the town of Middlemarch!

In episode 18 of We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor discuss "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" - the movie, not the textbook. Join us as we try to figure out what Grindelwald/Graves was after, where on earth that obscurus came from, and who we think Eddie Redmayne may have taken some inspiration from for his role as Newt Scamander. If you're looking for a deep dive into the four main characters, this episode is not for you. Also, Taylor couldn't be more thrilled to finally have her Hufflepuff star. Grab some gigglewater and join us on the fun New York adventure that is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"
