  • Babies Have So Much Crap (Three Men and a Baby)
    Aug 16 2023

    This week we're talking about one of Rosey's childhood faves Three Men and a Baby. Spoiler alert, but Avery loved it too. It holds up and we get into why and how. Is it the charming combination of Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Michael Guttenberg? Is it the safe fatherly energy? Is it the fact that the woman ask for what they want? All of the above? We also discuss our reactions to Barbie, Avery's enjoyment of the Women's World Cup, and Rosey's new YouTube hole.

    In two weeks, we'll be back with Sister Act II.

  • Get This Out Of My Mouth (Lizzie McGuire)
    Aug 2 2023

    This week we’re revisiting the “ground breaking” Lizzie McGuire (the series, we didn’t get as far as the movie…) It brings up lots of memories of our own middle school shenanigans, as well as an extensive meditations on the post office. Fun times.

    Next week we’re taking a look at an 80s (cult?) classic Three Men and A Baby. This is another Rosey favorite, but new to Avery! We’re excited to get into it.

  • I Can't Take You Seriously In That Hat (The Devil Wears Prada)
    Jul 19 2023

    We're talking about The Devil Wears Prada. And oh, 2006 fashion, why? We dive into workplace politics, clothing we don't understand, and how crazy we'd be if we were as rich as Miranda. Also, Rosey spills some tea from her own crazy assistant days. Meanwhile, Avery watched a bunch of masochistic men and Rosey studied endlessly.
