Round 2: One Day at a Time, The West Wing, and Company

2/13/2018

0 Comments

 

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

00:47 One Day at a Time: With The Good Place in the void for now, we checked out Netflix's re-imagining of the classic 70s sitcom. Rita Moreno and Justina Machado as mother and daughter are good enough to keep us watching.

07:42 The West Wing: We're just here for the Bible jokes and the men in uniform (in season 4's "Inauguration, Part One"). Wait, that sounds wrong. Mentioned: "Sorkinisms" video; the West Wing Weekly podcast.

18:00 Challenge: Company: Terri challenged Catherine to check out this unique production of Stephen Sondheim's show, starring some familiar faces (and Spanish subtitles, just as a little bonus). Catherine agreed that it's a thrill, especially when you know a bit about how much those actors were flying by the seat of their pants. Mentioned: This version starring Raul Esparza.

For next week, we're curious about David Letterman's new show on Netflix, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. Plus: Two more episodes of One Day at a Time ("No Mass" and "A Snowman's Tale"), and West Wing's "Inauguration: Over There."

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 

00:33 Up in the Air: While her daughter travels, Nicole is more dependent on WiFi than ever.

07:40 You Should Be Ashamed: We go beyond dogshaming.com (Hey, that's Nicole's dog, Missy!) to put others on notice for their shameful behavior.

29:50 Speed Round: It's a Date: With Valentine's Day almost here, we talk about the dates all our valentines might be dreaming of.

36:25 Roundabout Roundup: Instacart, Epson XP-440 printer, The Lego Architect.

42:39 Shameless Self-Promotion: Practical Strategies to Modify Your Curriculum for Students Working Below Grade Level (upcoming webinar from Nicole); Terri's profile on Apple Music.

Round 2: The Good Place, The West Wing, and Godless

2/6/2018

0 Comments

 

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

00:31 The Good Place: In the season 2 finale, Eleanor went back to Arizona (maybe?) and Ted Danson went back behind a bar. And we went into mourning at the thought of waiting until fall to see them all again. Mentioned: GQ article on Manny Jacinto.

11:23 The West Wing: Aaron Sorkin takes a breather as CJ takes a trip home to visit her ailing father. It's good, because it's Allison Janney, but oh so sad. Mentioned: The West Wing Weekly podcast.

19:39 Challenge Round: Godless: Catherine issued a challenge to both herself and Terri to try this Netflix original starring Jeff Daniels and Michelle "Lady Mary" Dockery. We decided we'd prefer the facial hair and tough dames on a show with a lower body count.

For next week: a Valentine's Day look at the musical Company (the Neil Patrick Harris-starring version on YouTube, though if you dig it, you might want to watch a little of this version too, and read this, this, and this while you're at it), plus season 4, episode 14 of The West Wing ("Inauguration, Part 1"). And we'll replace The Good Place with another critically acclaimed show, the One Day at a Time remake on Netflix ("This Is It" and "Bobos and Mamitas," the first two episodes of season 1).

Episode 204: Changing Course While Parenting

2/5/2018

0 Comments

 

00:32 Cruising vs. Camping: Nicole and her college student have different ideas about spring break travel.

7:09 Course-Correcting as a Parent: Let's say you've been lax on enforcing family rules, or realize you need some different ones. Is there a way to steer the whole crew in a new direction?

24:08 Speed Round: School Lockers: After reading this Washington Post article, we discuss whether lockers are indeed a thing of the past. Mentioned: the teen must-have from Vera Bradley.

38:13 Roundabout Roundup: "I'm Worried, but I'm Still Letting My Daughter Be a Gymnast" at Glamour.com; Twitter for customer service satisfaction; the Kangaroo Sanctuary on Instagram (plus Chewy the alpaca).

44:39 Shameless Self-Promotion: Terri on Instagram; 10 Things You Can Do to Make Your Class Socially Inclusive; Catherine's writing portfolio on Pinterest.
