  • Love Is Blind UK Season 2 Episodes 1 to 3 Reactions; Netflix's Sirens Episodes 1 and 2 Breakdown
    2025/08/28

    In today's episode we are delving into some brain candy for a change: Love Is Blind UK, episodes 1-3. We're talking about the couples, dating in modern times, the role of the human spleen and predictions for who makes it to the altar so far.
    Also: a breakdown of Netflix's Sirens, Episodes 1-2. As an insider perspective on the lives and inner social workings of the ultra wealthy, this soapy dark comedy is off to an intriguing start. Is Kiki a cult leader? Is Simone in danger? What the heck does "Hey hey" actually mean? We discuss all this and more.

  • The Gilded Age Wrap-up: Black Newport, Martha's Vineyard and the American Black Elite
    2025/08/21

    Hi Friends! This week based on your feedback and continued excitement over The Gilded Age finale I decided to dive a little deeper into one of our favorite depictions in the show: The Black elite societies in America (in particular the Northeast). Pop culture as a whole right now seems to be obsessing over this group of people as well and with good reason (7:58 if you want to skip right to it!). I'll discuss the themes related to this fascinating group that we saw in The Gilded Age and also how they relate to a recent TV and fashion focus on the historically black parts of Martha's Vineyard. I'll also let you know how this ties into our next entertainment focus: Netflix's limited series, "Sirens". I have restrained myself from bingeing it and will start covering next week.
    Lastly I get into the (short) trailer for the new Downton Abbey coming this September. Happily overwhelmed with the period drama goodness that only Lord Julian Fellowes can deliver!
    Thanks for listening!

  • The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 5 Recap and Reactions
    2025/07/23

    Join me for this week's episode where I discuss a topic that has been on everyone's For You Page: The Coldplay concert heard around the world. We dive deep into what we know and what the fallout has been thus far on this real-life-is-crazier-than-fiction tale of deception.

    Then we head over to the 1880's to break down another whirlwind episode of your favorite TV show and mine, HBO's The Gilded Age. Season 3 Episode 5 picks up after the dramatic conclusion of Episode 4 and the hits do not stop coming. We see Gladys struggle to acclimate to her new life chapter; George Russell pushes ahead with his railroad expansion plans despite some major red flags; Larry moves forward with his life plans, and Bertha is being tested as she has never been before. Hit play and let's escape into the world of The Gilded Age, a show that ignites our passion for a healthy dose of fussy period dramas.

    Thanks for listening!
