Round 2: Dancing with the Stars, DWTS Jrs, The Good Place and The West Wing

10/30/2018

0 Comments

 

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

00:40 Dancing with the Stars: It's Halloween Night, and we get a cringey show-mance and a "star" with unfortunate staying power. Mentioned: Frankie and Witney's contemporary dance, and another alleged show-mance (Meryl and Maks). 

14:45 Dancing with the Stars Juniors: We like so much about this show. Don't make us get out our mom voices for the last three minutes!

23:40 The Good Place: "The Ballad of Donkey Doug" proves (to Terri, at least), that there is such a thing as too much Jason.

30:10 The West Wing: On "Talking Points," why is everyone so shocked when politicians behave like politicians?!

Next week, we'll watch Dancing with the Stars (grown-ups only), The Good Place's "A Fractured Inheritance," and The West Wing's "No Exit."

00:32 Volunteer Woes: Nicole was fired and Terri's retired, leaving Catherine the only sucker who's still putting in those volunteer hours.

09:25 Childhood Fears: Some we've gotten over. Others have stayed with us. You just never know when Jaws is going to come up through the drain of a swimming pool! Mentioned: This 2016 episode on what was scaring us at the time. 

27:56 Speed Round: Would You Rather - Leisure Time: We kick off a week of Would You Rathers with these questions about how we'd rather spend our leisure time (if we had leisure time).

43:00 Roundabout Roundup: Best Buy Home Advisor service, Last Seen podcast, Barron's study guides.

50:41 Shameless Self-Promotion: Nicole's presentation on "Practical Strategies to Modify Your Curriculum," the podcast on Instagram and on RadioPublic (now with tip jar!).

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

00:28 Dancing with the Stars: Disney Night meant a lot of reenacting movies, visits from the Junior stars and pros, and a parting gift from Mickey. Mentioned: Kristyn Burtt on voting strategies.

14:57 DWTS Juniors: We love everything about this show except the last 5 minutes every week. Do better next season, please!

24:58 The Good Place: On "Jeremy Bearimy," we meet Hot Nihilist Chidi and completely forget about that superfluous Hemsworth brother. Mentioned: Alan Sepinwall's recap and this ethical defense of Chidi's muscles.

Next week, we'll return to our West Wing watch with season 5's "Talking Points." Plus, "The Ballad of Donkey Doug" on The Good Place, and Halloween night on both Dancing shows.
