It's our final PLL episode! We end our journey on an auspicious note as we discuss the recent presidential election and how we're working on moving forward with our community. Then we discuss the final two episodes covering Wes' misogyny and how it relates to current times, try to parse how he set everything up, how our mother of holy grace is related, Dr. Sullivan's twists and turns, Shawn turning violent, Bloody Rose's plans, letting Greg off easy, and locking Johnny in a freezer.Thank you ...

So we had assumed that Redemption House would be a ridiculous good time and boy were wrong. We discuss the horrors of hell houses, Kelly taking an evil turn, religious people speaking in tongues (including Emily witnessing this at a church camp), Greg's (romantic?) turn and wonder what other shady things the Our Mother of Holy Grace is up to. We also discuss the car crash that is Noa, Wes being the most pathetic man alive, Johnny being hopefully just a nice boy and Imogen's righteous (and ama...

We're enjoying this new season more as we get lots of time on summer romance. We discuss the new pairings and hope that the boys don't turn out bad. We also discuss Faran's superhuman feats of strength, Henry being a turd, our excitement for Redemption House, Mouse being driven to an abandoned restaurant and get very worried about Lola, and continue to get annoyed by Noa and the PLL series' problems with bi people.Episode 111 content warnings: murder, gore, abuse, domestic abuse, sexual abuse...

We start the new season of Pretty Little Liars (apparently that's just the series name and the seasons have specific names???) and are enjoying the lighter sequel tone so far. We ask why there's suddenly more old timey technology around, delight in the punny name of spookyspaghetti.com, quickly tidying up season 1 loose ends, question the methods of the returning Dr. Sullivan, ask why they all decided they needed summer jobs, are torn over Noa's mysterious friend (or ex?) from juvie and delig...

We've come to the end of the first season and can't help feeling disappointed by the reveals. We discuss the A reveal, what conclusions in fiction we've actually liked, the open plot holes, missed horror opportunities, and the tidy resolution for all the characters. But first, we take a dive down the Dancing with the Stars rabbit hole.Episode 109 content warnings: teen pregnancy, adoption, kidnapping, abortion, pedophilia, grooming, drug use, murder, gore, suicide, self harm, abuse, domestic ...

So please enjoy another long episode discussing Chip acting really weird, Henry being suspicious, Imogen's athleticism at 35 weeks pregnant, what "Crazy Joe's" involvement actually was, Sidney deciding to try parenting, debate whether Shawn is a good guy, Mouse's continually weird plotline, Ash's background and trans representation, Faran standing up to Sheriff Beasely, Tabby being ...

Of course we'd come around on the series when it had its Halloween episode! We come in excited to discuss Imogen throwing a rager, how sweet all the love interests are (for now...), everybody pairing off, and how the show flipped our views on Karen/Kelly. We also dig into some difficult reveals about Tabby and Mouse, the show incorporating Tabby's film language better, the devastating Ouija board scene and the hilarious Monster Mash death.Episode 106 content warnings: kidnapping, pedophilia, ...

We reach the end of the Perfectionists and it's abrupt close to its only season. While we're feeling a bit ambivalent to the show as a whole we still have plenty to discuss including Taylor's batman origin story, new and weird revelations about Mason, Jeremy driving a speed boat (and missing his glasses), the nature of Beacon Guard, and run off some potential theories about the Professor's identity.We'll be back in two weeks with the first two episodes of Original Sin!Episode 103 content warn...

We've unfortunately got a lot of complaints this week as the show dilly dallies to its conclusion. We discuss how this show isn't setup to be so short, how it messes up all of its romantic plotlines, the irrationality of continuing to trust Claire, the show trying to pull a gotcha on Ali, Jeremy's hilarious freak out, Dylan's inability to not make bad decisions, Ava's puzzling economic situation and the lack of focus on how threatening Beacon Guard actually is.Make sure to send us your theori...

We get a lot of setup this week as the fake friends slowly find that maybe they could be actual friends? That is until Caitlin is exposed as a huge snitch. We discuss why Ava is the sole victim of the group, Ali's divorced dad vibes, Mona's potentially steamy chess romance (and why we need more of this), Jeremy's sketchy behavior (aka being British), Mason stepping into being the evil torturer, try to parse important questions like who's doing all the A-related menacing, did Nolan actually ha...

We're back with the PLL sequel series and it might actually be good?? We're surprised by how much we enjoy the new location, the new focus on surveillance technology and controlling people and our new cast of characters. We're not quite as enthused with the focus on Alison and Mona's newfound focus on "equations" but if it keeps up the quality we'll be happy. We also discuss menacing Mini Coopers, bi-phobia across both series, and trying to figure out what Alison's job is.Also let us kn...

Well that's the show finished, all the plot threads are wrapped up and everyone has their happily ever after. Wait I'm receiving a note now...We discuss how fast these pen ultimate episodes wrap up everything and our annoyance at where that leaves Mona's and Cece's characters. We also run through the friends finding out about Aria's AD work, Spencer overreacting, Aria having a couple of great episodes, Fitz stepping up, Mary's sacrificial move (or was it?), and really dig into our frustration...
