Hate's a strong word, but Nicole might use it to describe her grown-up feelings for Shake-and-Bake chicken.

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast: 00:33 Master of None: Terri tends to like every other episode of this show, and this week's "Amarsi Un Po" was the "nope" after the "yes!" of last week's. (But the aerial footage of Manhattan at night was spectacular.) 11:52 The West Wing: "The U.S. Poet Laureate" is also not one of Terri's faves, but the accompanying West Wing Weekly podcast delivered the guests she'd been hoping to hear from. Also mentioned: TV Avalanche with guest Linda Holmes and Little House on the Podcast. 23:35 Challenge Round: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: Taking off from the "unwise responses to criticism" theme on West Wing, Terri challenged Catherine to watch the pilot of Sorkin's follow-up show. Catherine liked its casting and snappy dialogue, but that wasn't enough to save this one-season show. For next week, Catherine challenged Terri to watch two episodes of another behind-the-scenes show from 2006: 30 Rock ("Tracy vs. Conan," S1E7, and "Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001," S4E7). Plus: Master of None's "Buona Notte" and West Wing's "Stirred." Our case choices at the moment seem to be style over substance, but a big fat protective case can't fit in your pocket. (Mentioned: PopSockets, iPhone leather case) Excuse the thunderstorms and technical difficulties in this week's episode. Just keepin' it real for y'all. 00:32 Doggie Diagnosis: Think good thoughts for Nicole's pooch, who is going in for cancer surgery soon (but she's going to be fine!). 08:10 It's Good, Except When It's Bad: It’s supposed to be a positive thing when kids get more independent. But we're both happy and thrown into existential crisis. 21:22 Friday Speed Round: Parental Martyrdom: On a scale of sharing Ketchup Chips to watching The Emoji Movie, we gauge our willingness to play the martyr. 35:09 Roundabout Roundup: Catherine enjoyed the book Lab Girl by Hope Jahren, Nicole is cooking thanks to the Tasty app, and Terri would like every retailer to follow Home Depot's lead and text customers the exact location of products they're interested in. 40:26 Shameless Self-Promotion: Teach Your Kid to Walk, Bike, and Cross Streets Safely; Top 10 Things the Classroom Teacher Needs to Know About Your Child with Special Needs; Special Needs in the News, July 2017 Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music.

Yesterday, we talked about what's obsessing us now, as, you know, old people. Today, we share what we were into as kids. Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast: 00:34 The Emoji Movie: It's true, Catherine took one for the team and saw this with her son. Her review is a sad face and a thumbs down. 07:35 Master of None: This week's "Thanksgiving" episode gave us the feels in a better way. Two thumbs up! 10:58 The West Wing: In "Dead Irish Writers," we get a visit from Lord John Marbury and from a temporary Canadian (Donna). Mentioned: The West Wing Weekly podcast and its very distinguished guest. 17:35 Challenge Round: Spy: Speaking of dead, a lot of henchmen didn't make it out of this movie alive. But we still laughed a lot. For next time, Terri challenged Catherine to watch the pilot episode of Aaron Sorkin's first post-West Wing project, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Plus: Master of None's "Amarsi Un Po" and West Wing's "The U.S. Poet Laureate." |
