Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is The Wedding People, a novel by Alison Espach that's circulating heavily at her library and lived up to the hype. Mentioned: The movie Elizabethtown. Terri's random recommendation is a writer she's shouted out before, Brian Grubb. This time, he's got a take on Reacher that delighted both Terri and her husband. If you haven't watched the show, here's a scene to give you a taste. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2018 on sharing, and when it's OK not to. Next week's lineup:
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This episode brought us the inevitable falling-into-a-pool-in-formalwear moment (three out of five Gordons), which is definitely some kind of sitcom law. And though raised by a single mom, Jackie shows he's savvy enough to play Mom against Dad, or in this case, brother against brother. Mentioned: Retta and Ike Barinholtz praising Max Greenfield's dance moves on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 6, "The Yips." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode was nothing but sad, as we flashed back to Hurley's time in a psychiatric hospital and learned more about who was (and wasn't) there with him.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 19, "S.O.S." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point. This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.

Catherine's library find is a series of children's early chapter books starring a rat named Ratnip. And yes, there's one about a slice of pizza. Terri's random recommendation this week is a celebrity podcast. We'd only do this for Amy Poehler! Mentioned: The Afterparty and the Parks & Recollection podcast. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2016 (!) on the parenting finish line. Mentioned: Our discussion on how to define "young adult." Next week's lineup:

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This week, two brothers are entirely absent, but the other two are uncomfortably close, as Ness camps out at Sandy's pristine (clearly child-free) home. Meanwhile, Isla's usual "flip the script, come out on top" plan doesn't come together by the end of the episode. Mentioned: Korean dol ceremony and Brian Grubb's "Customer Reviews of the White Lotus Family of Resorts."
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 5, "Beshert." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we get yet another reminder that Locke's pre-island life was a real bummer, in case we forgot. And his comfortable island life in the hatch is upended too.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 18, "Dave." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point. This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.

Catherine's library find is Menopause Makes: Empowering Sewing Projects to Relax Your Mind, Cool Your Body, and Ignite Your Creativity. It's a book that hops on a trend and gives it a twist. But we're not sure if it's going to have the intended effect. Terri's random recommendation this week is two comedians that the Facebook algorithm has decided (correctly!) that she, a person of a certain age, will enjoy: Brian Kiley and Andy Huggins. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2023 on our kids and their sibling relationships. Next week's lineup:

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. The episodes certainly follow a pattern, but they are enjoyable and make us laugh. And after this one, we're ready to hire Marcus as a parenting coach.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 4, "Doljanchi." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, surprise! We're going to need another cradle. Also surprise (not really): Henry Gale isn't who he says he is. Mentioned: The "Got any milk?" scene and My Girl Barks on X.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 17, "Lockdown." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point.
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a cute kids' game that can be played solo or collaboratively. It's called Cat Crimes and seems like a twist on Clue for young players (there's no murder!). Terri's random recommendation this week is Facebook groups for any ailments or fancy medications you might be taking. It's a techie upgrade on bonding with fellow patients in a waiting room. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2017 on the delicate art of delegating. Next week's lineup:
