  • 'Nobody Wants This' S2 Feels Like A Retread

    The first season of “Nobody Wants This” was, fortunately for a show with that title, a smash hit. Based on the life of show creator Erin Foster, who converted to Judaism for her now-husband, the show followed the unlikely interfaith love story between unfiltered podcaster Joanne (Kristin Bell) and hot rabbi Noah (nerdy millennial women’s fantasy boyfriend Adam Brody).

    Recapturing the magic of Joanne and Noah’s meet-cute is a tall order for season 2. And while the season does get a lot right — fleshing out some of the ensemble characters, exploring a flaw or two in the almost too-perfect Noah — it seems to have been too tall of an order to fulfill. “Nobody Wants This” spends the entire season taking us in what feels like a perfect circle, rehashing the same fundamental conflict between Noah and Joanne: she doesn’t want to convert, and if she doesn’t, being in a relationship with her is damaging to his rabbinical reputation.

    Diane Keaton was one of those rare public figures who seemed to collapse the space between celebrity and the rest of us. She was relatable, ethereal, warm, effervescent. She was magic in corporeal form.

    That’s probably why for so many of us the news of her passing hit especially hard. Maybe you first met her as the unbearabl…

  • Taylor Swift Is The Ultimate Influencer

    Just when you thought she hadn’t even left yet, Taylor Swift is back again with yet another album, complete with a color-based theme (orange), theatrically released music video, and multiple vinyl variants: “The Life of a Showgirl," which dropped October 3rd.

    We listened to the album a few (dozen) times, read a few (dozen) reviews and takes, and went through a few (dozen) changes of heart about the songs before recording this. And while we’re not music critics or Swifties, we did wind up with some strong feelings and opinions! In this episode, we discuss our favorite parts of the album, Taylor Swift’s ambitions and influencer-esque savvy, the cringe lyrics (you know which ones), the difficulty of reviewing a Taylor Swift album without reviewing Taylor as a person, the “WI$H LI$T” tradwife discourse, and so much more.

    One of the most fascinating things about watching different editions of “Love Is Blind,” is tracking the regionally-specific cultural differences.

    In Denver, the U.S. season currently airing, we have biohacking and tech-enabled wellness clubs used as foreplay. In France, we have unfiltered bluntness. Who knew it was possible…

    As professional reality dating show viewers, we were feverish with excitement to watch Netflix’s new rom-com “The Wrong Paris” (brought to you by the director of Lindsay Lohan vehicles “Irish Wish” and “Falling for Christmas).

    In this episode, we recap the whole movie, try not to get too distracted by the obvious production missteps of the “Honey Pot” crew, and laugh a lot. Maybe this wasn’t “The Wrong Paris” for us, after all! Hope you enjoy. xo

    The Women sat at their iced-coffee-covered desks, staring into the vast beyond of their computer screens. They couldn’t help but wonder… what did they just watch for the better part of 12 hours, on and off for the last handful of months?

    The answer is, of course, the final season of “And Just Like That…” The “Sex and the City” sequel…

  • 'Love Is Blind UK' S2 Reunion: Let Us Eat Cake

    The “Love Is Blind” season 2 reunion landed on Sunday afternoon, and it landed with the force and spectacle of a grand piano pushed out of a tenth-story window. The proverbial ink had barely dried on our glowing recap of last week’s finale — the 10/10 perfect couples, the happy surprise of Billy and Ashleigh — when all our starry visions of marital bliss were extinguished. Well, not all. (There are one or two decent men left in the United Kingdom.) This reunion brought us shocking update after unsurprising-but-still-somehow-shocking update, some Emma Willis tears, and a performance of “you’re a liar” in two-part harmony.
