Maddie & Christina are back to give their final thoughts on the second half of The Crowned Clown!

Did they love Ha-sun and the Queen? Yes.

Did they like the royal secretary? Maddie did, but Christina still couldn't trust him.

Did they think there wasn't much focus on Ha-sun and the Queen as the show went on? YES.

Could this show have been twelve episodes? Also, yes.

The Crowned Clown is a sixteen-episode drama available on Viki.

Make sure to check out The Crowned Clown’s "Through Two" and "Midway" episodes before tuning into this final review.

The Pod Sisters are here to do a very special episode on Kpop Demon Hunters! The world is going CRAZY about this movie — and FOR GOOD REASON. They HAD to come talk about it and fangirl over EVERYTHING!

....

Kpop Demon Hunters is a children’s film that premiered on Netflix and is currently blowing up. The characters are great, the storyline is strong, THE SOUNDTRACK BANGS, and the way it highlights Korean culture — both historically and through a K-pop lens — has been incredible to see.

The film centers around a famed K-pop girl group called Hundrix. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey lead a double life as demon hunters, protecting and maintaining a magical barrier named the Honmoon. Drama ensues when a new boy group enters the K-pop world — a group secretly formed by demons.

Throughout the movie, the girls learn more about themselves and come to accept who they truly are. This children’s movie is action-packed, blending idol culture, music, humor, and heart — all wrapped up into one.

Kpop Demon Hunters is available now on Netflix. Add the soundtrack to your playlist ASAP!

Hiiii um who knew Doyoung had such a hot brother???

….

Maddie and Elle are here to chat about Second Shot at Love, a 12 episode KDrama that just finished airing. This show was soooooo up Elle’s alley, and the girls loved seeing yet ANOTHER member of 5URPRISE grace their screens as the ML. (You’re still our fav, Kang Tae-oh, don’t worry.)

….

Second Shot at Love is a light-hearted KDrama that touches on some serious topics, mainly alcoholism. It has the fun townie-feel that many love about KDramas, and a heartwarming cast (and secondarily love story that Maddie was obsessed with!!)

….

The girls would totally recommend this one as a binge-worthy drama that you can dig into this summer!

….

Second Shot of Love is 12 episodes and can be found on Viki.

Maddie & Christina are back with a midway review of The Crowned Clown! They debrief episodes three through eight. This Joseon drama continues to surprise them, and they truly don’t know how the story will end.

One thing’s for sure: they LOVE Ha-Sun and the Queen, they adore Squishy Eunuch Jo (SEJ for short), and they’re still on the fence about Mr. Secretary.

Let the girls know if you’re also watching—or if you’ve already seen the show! Share your thoughts with them.

The Crowned Clown premiered in 2019 and is a 16-episode drama available on Viki.
