What We’re Watching: Schitt’s Creek Sampler

8/10/2021

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: Terri tried Schitt's Creek, a show Catherine has watched in its entirety but Terri had never seen. We selected 5 episodes recommended by IMDB: Season 1/episode 6, “Wine & Roses”; season 2/episode 5, “Bob's Bagels”; season 4/episode 2, “Pregnancy Test”; season 4/episode 6, “Open Mic” (recently inducted into the Extra Hot Great canon); and season 6/episode 5, “The Premiere." While Terri wasn't as hooked on the show as IMDB promised she'd be, she enjoyed the time she spent in Schitt's Creek.

Next week: Making It returns, and we'll follow Annie Murphy (Alexis Rose on Schitt's Creek) to her new project, Kevin Can F*** Himself, on AMC+. Never heard of AMC+? Neither had we. Here's how to watch it.

Roundabout Roundup: Papa Cristo’s, Mush Oatmeal, and Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars

8/6/2021

0 Comments

 
This week’s Roundabout Roundup is a very tasty one. Nicole's shouting out her favorite Greek restaurant in Los Angeles, Papa Cristo's. Catherine's also going Greek, with a recommendation for Yasso Greek yogurt bars. And Terri's recommending a breakfast that might look like cat food, and sound like baby food, but tastes pretty darn good: Mush ready-to-eat oats.

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Are You Superstitious?

8/5/2021

0 Comments

 
On today's episode, we're obsessing about whether we're superstitious, whether it's something we learned from our parents, and whether we might be passing it on to our kids. Because really, why tempt fate when it's just as easy not to open that umbrella inside the house?

Our Teamwork Dreams

We complain about what it takes to be a team player (and how that works when combined with our rule-following natures) and also about how it's hard to go it alone. You see our dilemma.

What We’re Watching: Making It Flashback and Practical Magic

8/3/2021

0 Comments

 
a booOn this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: We failed to realize that Making It would be pre-empted by a little event called the Olympic Games. So we dipped back into season 1 to compare its "All of the Holidays at Once" episode to this season's similarly themed ep. Turns out the reason there's more making and less emoting in season 1 is: There are fewer people. This throws a wrench in our "Don't send anyone home ever!!" proposal. Mentioned: The makers on Instagram; they're all linked on this post from Melanio.

Continuing the flashback theme, we watched the movie Practical Magic, starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman and also delightfully featuring Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest, as well as Goran Visnjic as a most un-delightful boyfriend. It was a wonderfully witchy trip back to 1998. Mentioned: This article comparing the movie to its source material, a book by Alice Hoffman.

Next week: We'll keep Making It and Veronica Mars on hold and challenge Terri to try Schitt's Creek with 5 episodes recommended by IMDB: Season 1/episode 6, “Wine & Roses”; season 2/episode 5, “Bob's Bagels”; season 4/episode 2, “Pregnancy Test”; season 4/episode 6, “Open Mic”; and season 6/episode 5, “The Premiere."

Degree Agreement

8/2/2021

0 Comments

 
On today's Round 1, we're talking about college majors and degrees and how much influence parents have over their kids' choices. Our parents were supportive of our decisions (in Nicole's case, wisely steering her toward teaching) and we're trying to be the same for our kids.
