TW: Talks of DV and Rape

This week, the girls rewatch Charmed S5E12: Centennial Charmed AKA Centennial Cuck

The girls’ interpretation of Cole’s alternative timeline leads to dark revelations about Phoebe Halliwell, clarifying the episode’s bleak takeaway. Nelle’s fury with the timeline manipulation rivals the Speed Force, while Piper’s speedy pregnancy has Rae questioning the show’s pacing.

The pop culture R.E.P.O.R.T. includes book recommendations and movie reviews. Nelle starts a Harley Laroux duology and tries to finish Tiny Bookshop before Grave Seasons. She also lets us know how Faster Purple Worm Kill Kill will influence her next session of Dungeons and Dragons.

During her R.E.P.O.R.T, Rae shows off the power of a library card and casts Indiana Fever guard Syd Colson as Russ in her Plus Size Player audiobook review. She doesn't do a good job convincing Nelle to watch Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, but she puts up a good fight for Jason Bateman’s Lead Actor EMMY.

Before Nelle & Rae bind this spell (read episode), they get “Messages from The Seer.” Nelle asks the cards why Paige couldn’t leave Cole alone.

This week, the girls rewatch Charmed S5E11: The Importance of Being Phoebe AKA A Young Ho Cautionary Tale.

The season five episode feels like a Shondaland prequel, which is probably why the girls love it. Cole puts his law degree to work, using the law to defeat his former sisters-in-law; P3 can’t pass a health inspection, and Paige is jailed for vehicular murder. Cole’s perversion of the law and the health risk are another attempt to reunite with his obsession, Phoebe Halliwell. Sadly, misogyny and true crime PTSD are not enough to get the girls to give the episode a bad rating.

The girls tackle the literacy crisis during the pop culture R.E.P.O.R.T From murder mysteries to Norse mythology, the girls have you covered with Tom Mead’s The Murder Wheel and Danielle L Jensen’s A Fate Inked in Blood. They also continue their Matthew Rhys obsession as Nelle finally finishes Widow’s Bay and Rae finishes The Beast in Me on Netflix. Rae gets into NBA rivalries with Untold: Shooting Guards.

Before Nelle & Rae bind this spell (read episode), they get “Messages from The Seer” in a new segment. The Charmed Ones always asked the know-nothing Elders for help solving their magical dilemmas. So Nelle does what they should have done and asks the cards how Phoebe should have handled Cole and how Piper should have dealt with the health inspector.

TRIGGER WARNING: Talks of suicide.

This week, the girls rewatch Charmed S5E10: Y Tu Mummy También AKA Awkward Sex Phase

Tacky maternity fashion and a gaping plot hole are not enough to ruin this season five episode. The girls swoon over guest star Adrian Paul from the Highlander franchise, while Rae drops a bombshell mid-Darryl/ Dorian Gregory gush-fest.

While breaking down the episode, Nelle realizes she’s falling deeper in like with Paige, and Rae confirms that Charmed and The Mummy Franchise (Brendon Fraser, Rachel Weisz) share the same marketing team. Despite being a favorite episode, Nelle wonders whether it would be better if we hadn't seen Phoebe Halliwell belly dance, and they both ponder why the Halliwell sisters think reactionary abuse is okay.

During the pop culture R.E.P.O.R.T, Nelle continues to get cozy with Neoludic Tiny Bookshop, while Rae reads about lawyer magicians in The Murder Wheel by Tom Mead and complicated childhoods in Brooklyn in Jacqueline Woodson’s Another Brooklyn. She takes a trip to the 90s with The Good Son and checks out Colin Farrell’s crime drama Sugar on Apple TV.

TW: Talks of child death, suicide and pregnancy loss

This week, the girls rewatch Charmed S5E9: Sam I Am AKA Dead Beats in Religious Psychosis

The Father’s Day episode focuses less on celebrating fathers and more on questioning faith and morality. Nelle and Rae debate which Old Testament rules guide The Elders or if they’re more like angels in Supernatural. When they’re not dissecting religious texts, they wonder why Phoebe Halliwell cannot do right by Cole -divorced or not, she has an obligation to do good, but is acting like JLo in ENOUGH. Meanwhile, Paige reconnects with the father who gave her up and is unimpressed with the imitation Frank Gallaher she’s forced to protect, and magical nannies spread the word that the Charmed Ones and their baby are persona non grata.

In the Pop Culture R.E.P.O.R.T, the girls continue to spoil Widow’s Bay and go on a Beyond the Gates rant. Kat Richardson has been treated unfairly for too long, and they can’t keep quiet about it. Nelle gets cozy with the game Tiny Bookshop and continues the Ali Hazelwood’s Bride book series, and provides a review. Rae gets lost in Netflix’s catalog, watching their latest documentary, Maternal Instinct, and the miniseries The Beast in Me.
