Hulu’s  The Girl From Plainville has come to an end for Alana & Shay! Listen in for their final thoughts and see which very dramatized scene they both enjoyed in the end. With the show wrapping up, the ladies each share their chef’s kiss rating and this show’s snack/drink of choice: guacamole & tacos! Whip up that good green dip and get to watching.

Pop culture covers Kardashian updates, what Biden is doing in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and ends with all the drams happening on Buckhead Shore.

Your homework for next week: Two episodes of The Staircase (documentary) on Netflix & Whole Snacks is not done with Michelle Carter  just yet . . . dive into the real-life documentary of Michelle and Conrad’s story, I Love You, Now Die on HBO Max, and watch the first episode.

Alana & Shay are in the final half of Hulu’s  The Girl From Plainville. The ladies are in agreement that the last two episodes (5 & 6) could have been smooshed together. With Alana walking around and Shay looking at her phone, their interest kind of waned this week. Which is interesting, considering it was the start of the trial episodes. There were some high points, like Elle Fanning nailing Michelle Carter’s new walk and the actress playing Conrad’s mom absolutely rocking it, but the Snacks are ready to see the rest of the trial play out and compare it to what they remember from the case in real-time.

HBO’s The Staircase has come to an end for Alana & Shay! Listen in for their final thoughts and see which part of the ending really creeped them out. With the show wrapping up, the ladies each share their chef’s kiss rating and this show’s snack/drink of choice: red red wine! Pour yourself a mega pint, sit back, and relax.

Pop culture covers celebrity hospital visits, radio show drama, and very sadly, more details, news, and thoughts on the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Your homework for next week: The final two episodes of Hulu’s  The Girl From Plainville & Whole Snacks is not done with Mike Peterson just yet . . . dive into the real-life documentary The Staircase on Netflix and watch the first two episodes.

Alana & Shay are in the final half of HBO’s The Staircase! Episode 5 was much of the same for Shay, but episode 6 FINALLY pulled her out of her phone and glued her eyes to the screen. A new theory in Kathleen Peterson’s death allowed Shay’s number one fear (birds) to become a *possible* reality. However, Alana isn’t so sure.

Speaking of unsuredness (that’s a word, right?), there’s a certain scene in the episodes of Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville that had the ladies scratching their heads and saying WHAT? in their best Minion voice.

And last, but most certainly not least, in lieu of pop culture, Alana & Shay spend some time discussing the terrifying SCOTUS ruling that dropped last week.

Homework for next week: The final two episodes of The Staircase & episodes 5 & 6 of The Girl From Plainville.

The podcast is covering two new episodes of HBO’s The Staircase this week (episodes 3 & 4). It’s gotten slightly less boring and Shay finally figured out the family dynamics in this one. But she still hasn’t fully put her phone down or uncovered her eyes.

The girls started another dramatized true crime series this week! They’re two episodes into Hulu’s The Girl From Plainsville. Alana & Shay dote on Elle Fanning’s amazing performance as one of America’s creepiest girls. Only two episodes in, this show is already getting more love from the snacks than The Staircase. Will this remain true? Only time will tell.

That being said, catch up on your homework for next week! It’s the same assignment from last week: 2 episodes of The Staircase (episodes 5 & 6) and 2 episodes of The Girl From Plainsville (episodes 3 & 4).

And before you do that, be sure to finish up this week’s podcast episode and hear Alana & Shay chat about two queens (Bey & Brit), as well as the drama that unfolded last week on two different talk shows.

Until next time, Snack Pack . . . byeeeeeee!

The Flight Attendant, season 2 has come to an end for Alana & Shay! Listen in for their final thoughts and see if, between the two of them, they can remember any of the characters’ names (this would be the perfect place to insert the face palm emoji). The Snacks have also started something new this week; when a show ends, they’ll each give a chef’s kiss rating & find a good drink/snack to pair with the show. Tune in for the first chef’s kiss ratings for The Flight Attendant! But the girls will go ahead and share the pairing cause you’ve got to have it ready while you listen: a classic gin & tonic!

As one show came to an end, a new one began for this girls’ night in discussion: HBO’s The Staircase. Alana & Shay watched the first two episodes of this dramatized true crime series to discuss all that’s happened thus far. It’s a bit of a slow start for Shay, but Alana (who is actually ahead this week . . . it wasn’t Shay for once) promises it gets better.

That being said, get ready for reviews and reactions of 2 more episodes (episodes 3 & 4) of The Staircase next week. And the rest of your homework entails the first 2 episodes of another dramatized true crime show. Get ready for Hulu’s The Girl From Plainsville. Shay & Alana hope you’re ready for this one cause they've been waiting to dig into this story.

This week, Alana & Shay introduce two new shows! Well, kinda new, but new to them and hopefully you, their loyal Snack Pack.

If you did your homework, then you already know that this week the ladies are discussing: Hulu’s Candy and HBO’s The Flight Attendant, season 2.

Candy was short, but (unlike her name would suggest) not so sweet. And by that, we mean– well, you’ll just have to listen in and find out.

If you were a fan of The Flight Attendant’s first season, then you’ll be sure to love season 2. And if you’re like Alana, you’ll like it even better! Cassie is getting back into all kinds of shenanigans and Shay & Alana can’t wait to dive into the first half of the season with y’all!

The girls wrap things up with their final thoughts on the Amber Heard & Johnny Depp trial as it concluded last week. There’s also a little shady Circle TikTok tings to discuss! oop!

Your homework for next week:

Remaining four episodes of The Flight Attendant

It’s time to discuss the final thoughts on The Circle and The Thing About Pam!

Who won this season of Netflix’s amazing game show? And what really is the thing about Pam? Spoiler: Alana & Shay deep dove into the dramatized true crime series and they still have not a clue.

There wasn’t too much pop culture to discuss from the past week, but the ladies uncovered a few gems to share with you.

Your homework assignment for next week: Hulu’s Candy and HBO’s The Flight Attendant, season 2.

For bonus points: email the girls at [email protected] some draaaank recipes! They’ve gotten a little lax on their drinking habits and what a shame that is. They clearly need suggestions!

Hope you enjoy this week’s episode!

Alana & Shay are back from their midseason break and they're feeling all refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated! Of course, coming back, the ladies were ready to discuss two NEW shows: The Circle and The Thing About Pam!

Shay & Alana have been keeping up with The Circle since season 1. So, to stay on brand, it’s no surprise season 4 was on the Whole Snacks Podcast TV Guide. The pod’s episode 13 is all about the first half of The Circle. Who are the girls’ faves & who had them scratching their head? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

Even though Shay made a mistake and watched this one prior (her exact words to Alana were: too bad we didn’t pick The Thing About Pam for the pod bc this show is SOOO good– to which Alana replied with the straightest of face emoji . . .), the Snacks still kept this one on the roster because it was too good not to discuss. #shaysnumberoneshowof2022sofar (disclaimer: we are very aware this hashtag is extremely long and probably won’t stick, but there it is). Like with The Circle, Alana & Shay are discussing half of the series with the first 3 episodes!

Tune in to hear their thoughts and be sure to pop back in next week for the second halves of both The Circle & The Thing About Pam!

Welcome back, Snack Pack!

It’s the midseason finale! So, of course, we had to wrap up some shows before we take a little breaky-break.

In this episode, Shay and Alana share their final thoughts on the very first season of The Ultimatum: it was . . . a thing. Alana loved it. Shay liked the second half. Will they watch season 2 when it airs? The show has already been greenlit for more awkward dates with your friend’s significant other. We wanna know what you think! Should Alana and Shay cringe– binge– their way through another season? (If you're on Spotify, answer the poll!- for a limited time)

Lastly, it’s another documentary for your viewing pleasure and your earhole’s pleasure (for when you listen to the girl’s commentary): Netflix’s White Hot. In under an hour and a half, we learned all about the background discrimination and sexualization of the former Abercrombie & Fitch. (Abercrombie is currently under new ownership, rebranded, and has strayed far away from their past.) Alana and Shay get into some deep discussion before moving on to very scattered pop culture news. But hey, it’s interesting news nonetheless!

Check out this final episode before the snacks return for the remainder of season 3 on May 24th! Until then, check out Seasons 1 and 2 or stalk us on the socials!

Your homework: The Thing About Pam (episodes 1-3)  & the second show will be announced on socials!

With two episodes left until the mid-season finale, Alana & Shay are ready to dive in!

The ladies finish discussing Bad Vegan & to sum it up: How? Why? We are so confused?

The cringeyness (Shay’s words) that is The Ultimatum continues & things just keep getting worse. This episode is all about the trial marriages, so tune in to hear what the girls think. Next week, Shay & Alana are wrapping up the final four episodes. So, make sure you’re all caught up! (Also, your homework: White Hot).

In pop culture news, it’s all about the court cases, babyyyyy. & as Shay and Alana put it: let’s just end on Usher.
