We are back, just us, because we stand with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. You Might Know Us From hosting this podcast, complaining and obsessing over And Just Like That, and our morbid curiosity about the new “senior” Bachelor.  In this episode we’re breaking down our understanding of the strike and how we’ll continue to pivot away from actor interviews until there is a fair agreement with the studios. We’re also gossiping about Barbie, terrible reality TV tropes, the essence of beauty that is Jaida Essence Hall, and somehow relating And Just Like That back to… The Facts of Life. We really get a kick out of each other! Stay tuned and we’ll be back…maybe sooner than usual!
