A chat about our zombie survival skills gets sidetracked by our musing about how people in breakdown-of-civilization movies somehow always have access to contact-lens solution.

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode:

00:53 Black Panther: Catherine saw the highly anticipated film at the beginning of its run, and loved its production design, bad-ass women, and layered storyline.

06:58 One Day at a Time: This week, the episodes we watched covered immigration ("Strays") and PTSD ("The Death of Mrs. Resnick") in typical issue-of-the-week style, which still prompted tears from at least one of us.

15:07 Challenge Round: A Is for Alibi: Terri challenged Catherine to read the first title in Sue Grafton's Alphabet Mysteries series. The case she solves might be forgettable, but detective Kinsey Millhone isn't.

For next week, we'll forgo the Challenge Round in favor of watching the Oscars (Sunday, March 4). We'll discuss the awards show, plus the next episode of The West Wing ("The California 47th") and two from One Day at a Time ("Hold, Please" and "One Lie at a Time," both from season 1).

00:32 The Flu Strikes Again: It's traveled from Terri's house to Catherine's. Watch out, Nicole!

05:05 Stop the Madness: When seventh-graders are taking SAT prep classes, that's a bad sign.

24:36 Speed Round: What Parents Teach: We think one lesson should be "don't blab about your SAT scores."

31:41 Roundabout Roundup: Endurance, by Scott Kelly; the Radio Public app; Virtue and Moir's gold-winning ice dance.

36:14 Shameless Self-Promotion: What You Don't Know About Your Amazing Baby; Are Your Child's Needs Part of Your School's Emergency Planning?; The Inclusive Class on Pinterest.

Nicole's questioning of her husband's movie taste led us to a chat about works of entertainment we just can't get on the bandwagon with, from Harry Potter (gasp!) to This Is Us (no!).

Covers flinging, pillow stealing, preferred bed size, dog bed hogs, and more bedtime issues have our attention today.

Upside: No constant blather from NBC commentators. Downside: Below-zero temps. Though we like watching the Winter Olympics just fine, we're not so sure what we'd want tickets for.

Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed episode:

00:31 One Day at a Time: The great and good Rita Moreno continues to delight in this show that is very good, but not quite great. Mentioned: Moreno on WTF with Marc Maron.

09:58 The West Wing: President Bartlet is inaugurated, Will Bailey is deputized, and Abbey and CJ make questionable style choices. Mentioned: Team USA's bizarre gloves at the Winter Olympic Games.

21:35 Challenge Round: My Next Guest Needs No Introduction: Catherine challenged us both to check out David Letterman's new Netflix talk show; we watched the second episode, starring George Clooney along with Dave's must-be-seen-to-be-believed facial hair. If you're curious about the show Clooney mentioned (Sunset Beat), Brian Grubb wrote about it, hilariously, at Uproxx. Verdict: We'd watch this again--depending on the guest.

For next week, Terri challenged Catherine to read the first book in Sue Grafton's Alphabet Mysteries series, A Is for Alibi. We'll also watch the next two episodes of One Day at a Time ("Strays" and "The Death of Mrs. Resnick" from season 1) and The West Wing's "The California 47th" (season 4).

00:33 Lenten Sacrifices: Tread lightly, for Terri has given up coffee for the next 40 days.

07:15 Child Proximity Associates: We turn to the one and only Ron Swanson for a description of our current friendship life.

28:40 Speed Round: High-School Subjects: From plumbing to yoga, we have some ideas for additions to the curriculum.

38:16 Roundabout Roundup: Aetna (problem since resolved, thanks Erica!), the Winter Olympics (mentioned: Terri's idea for a TV channel for multi-taskers); Old Dutch ketchup chips.

48:19 Shameless Self-Promotion: 14 Little Ways to Instantly Turn a Bad Mood Around; a revamped Inclusive Class; Terri on Instagram.

It's that time of day that goes by really slow. Or that time of day that goes by way too fast. And maybe, depending on who you're talking to, those are the same time of day.

Depending on which one of us you're visiting, you might find barbecue sauce, bread, or waffles. But don't count on ice cubes.
