RHOP - Not Lately! with Kendrick

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/19

Listen, we can give Ashley that same token Candiace afforded her. It's possible she wasn't trying to be TOO messy by bringing up the 2am DM on camera. But Gizelle?? Now Gizelle, you just got sloppy and walked right into a whole silly scene that even you couldn't keep a straight face for hahahaha! Kendrick and I laughed our asses off at this whole mess. Team Robyn is all we can say! Make sure to check out Kendrick's podcast Reality & Comics Too - Listen on Apple Podcasts -

Southern Charm - Reunion Part 2

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/17

They really rushed through this reunion. The only topic that got any significant air time was the Shep Taylor relationship. Every other dynamic was given a bit of a crescendo followed by a quick "I want to move on" from Andy. I guess the reunion vibes are on-brand with the rest of the season. I tried to extract some interesting morsels from this episode but there wasn't much to work with here!

RHOSLC - There's a Whitney on the Loose!

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/15

Whitney's track record for delivering "vital" information is worse than any other housewife on any other franchise. She creates pure chaos but genuinely thinks she's doing something good for the group as a whole. It's marvelous to watch if you can appreciate how utterly clueless she is. I found this episode to be hysterical, which is evident in the fits of laughter throughout the entire latter half of the recap! Lisa gives such good emotional meltdowns, and she delivered so many incredible

RHOBH - Reunion Part 1 with Pia

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/14

Pia and I had a grand old time recapping Part 1 of the BH reunion. As I've been editing and prepping the episode, I've since realized that the audience might be angrier than we are about some things... are these women rubbing off on us?? Are we jaded? Too savage? I now fear the response this episode may receive... Regardless we had a blast and laughed a lot. I found out Pia hasn't watched the first 4 seasons of Potomac, so I dragged her for that for about 10 minutes. We discussed (again) my updated

RHOP - Who's Doing All This Clappin? with Kendrick

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/11

Kendrick and I spent the first 45 minutes basically discussing who we want to have sex with on House of the Dragons. We definitely dive into a bit of story, but it's mainly about our love of Fabien Frankel (Ser Criston) and how Matt Smith is only hot when he's playing Daemon (according to my loins). Next, we go full recap mode on Potomac. Listen... Mia is officially the scammer of this cast. Every franchise needs one! But nothing about anything adds up with her, ok? We break down the seemingly

Southern Charm - Reunion Part 1

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/09

Taylor took what could have been a moment to read Shep for the terrible way he treated her but instead took that opportunity to call women whores and slut shame him. Her closed-mindedness was showing... In this recap, I defend Shep, Austen, and Madison. I don't like that and I'm sure most of you won't either, but that's the weird reality that I've found myself in this season of Southern Charm. I don't think I will cover this show anymore after this because it's just so problematic and polarizing,

RHOSLC - Meghan the Energy Healer with Tom Hamlett

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/08

Episode 2 gave me so much more hope for this season! And honestly, that was mainly thanks to Whitney. When Meredith couldn't fully bring it during their charcuterie scene, Whitney took it to the finish line and came right out and said Lisa slept with a wealthy Utah man in exchange for his investment. Later Whitney gave us REALNESS with that breakdown over her suppressed childhood memories! She also did a pretty great job keeping the group together for the Shaman activities, or as Meredith would call

RHOBH - Birkins, Bubbles, and Bad Acting with Pia

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/07

We deserved that season finale, didn't we? Never did I ever think that we would get something so fantastic! But thanks to Garcelle picking up on Rinna and Erika's game we got EVERYTHING we needed from that final episode. Pia and I gave some insight on members-only clubs and why it's not at all shocking that there isn't any footage of Kathy's fit inside the venue. We also discuss how bizarre it is that the DJ and manager would treat this group of VIPs so seemingly terrible. We mock and ridicule Rinna

RHOSLC - Season Premiere

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/10/01

I can't come up with a clever title because this episode wasn't really that exciting. What really happened other than setting us up for the season ahead? Meredith is mad at Lisa. Lisa is sorry. Jen is "innocent". Heather and Whitney are the best of friends. Got it. Now let the drama unfold. I am covering SLC just for you guys! I almost skipped this week and just doubled up next week but I knew there would be riots! SPOTIFY LISTENERS - Please rate me 5 stars! I need to show that platform some more

Southern Charm - You Can't Sit With Us

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/30

As soon as Paige suggested Craig do a seating chart to "control the chaos" and Craig refused saying "it'll be fine"... we knew it wouldn't be fine. If it truly was just an oversight and Craig didn't intentionally leave Naomie off the main table, then OF ALL PEOPLE FOR IT TO COINCIDENTALLY HAPPEN TO! I did my best to navigate through that choppy finale party. It was tough to know what was really going on because I could tell they cut a lot out. I'll tell you what scene was edited together brilliantly

RHOBH - Not the Season Finale with Pia

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/29

I really can't believe we have one more episode to endure before we get to the reunion, BUT next week is looking like the kind of content we have been asking for all season. Kyle is going to call out Rinna and Erika for the obvious tactical takedown of Kathy, and we are here for that! Pia and I discuss how much Rinna underestimated Kathy's level of accountability and how that miscalculation led to one of the most embarrassing scenes in housewives history. I personally hated that they wasted airtime

RHOA - Reunion Part 3 with Kendrick

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/28

I never thought Todd would end up being the highlight of Part 3, but here we are! It certainly wasn't "What did I say" Sheree! Or Marlo with her phony redemption arc. The husbands definitely delivered some entertainment (petition to request Todd show up wildly hungover and sleep deprived to every reunion moving forward). Drew and Sheree stay entertaining adversaries. Kenya took it easy after her segment with Marlo was over. Kandi stayed true to herself. And Sanya... was there. There was no big

The Real Bling Ring - Has Anyone Learned Anything?...

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/26

The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist provided no real clarity on what "actually" happened because everyone's stories contradicted the other's BUT it was fun to drag 90% of them for 2.5 hours! In addition to the recap, I also touch on the social media drama surrounding this project. Let's just say, one of the main characters (who declined to participate) is NOT happy that her name is mentioned throughout the entire 3 part docuseries. Also, listen to find out how all roads really do lead back to

Southern Charm - Crazy Happy Done

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/23

Turning Shep's toxic fighting style into a drinking game is so on brand for Southern Charm. What's crazy is that in all the 7 years this show has been on, we've never seen Shep in a relationship. He's, umm, terrifying. The whispering in Taylor's ear took it to a place I didn't know it could go. Then she told him to pray and I was more scared than I've ever been for a relationship. Austen continues to bring the comedy, Craig continues to veil his emotional abuse as emotional intelligence, and Venita

RHOBH - Pretend PTSD with Pia

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/23

Rinna delivered one of the funniest performances of her acting career in that episode. If it was intended to be taken seriously, well then......... Erika, Rinna, and Dorit are poorly executing a strategic take down of Kathy. Should Kathy talk about her meltdown? Sure. I'm interested to know why she was upset. But as soon as Rinna starts acting shocked and traumatized by what Kathy did, Pia and I instinctively rush to protect Kathy from the evil wrath of Lisa's vortex of lies. This episode of the pod

RHOA - Reunion Part 2 with Kendrick

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/21

Kendrick and I stand firm in our stance that it's time for Andy to pass the baton over to someone who is fresh and ready for these reunions because that man looked TIRED for part 2. He was rushing them through every package (or was that just the editing?), and we know he would never treat the ladies of Beverly Hills this way. We reference an episode of The Bravo Docket podcast regarding Bethenny's divorce. This is the link in case you want to check it out! -

Sins of Our Mother - This Was Preventable with Pia

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/19

Lori and her brother Alex should have been held on suspicion and ultimately charged in the death of Charles Vallow right from the jump! Nothing about their story added up, and if the police had done their JOB Tylee and JJ would be alive today. The Chandler, AZ Police Department need to be held accountable for their utter incompetence and downright laziness. Pia and I recap all 3 parts of the Netflix Docuseries Sins of Our Mother. I'm still working out the format for my true crime episodes so forgive

Southern Charm - St. Simons Says Whoa

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/16

I think this is the shortest recap I've ever done but when you listen you'll find out why.... This might be considered a controversial statement, but Austen is having a redemption season. That monologue in the shoe store with Taylor was one of the most heartfelt moments we've ever seen from him. And then the physical comedy on the tennis court?? And what about the butt bit!? I am so down for this Austen. Getting out of that toxic dynamic with Madison is doing him good. Shep, on the other hand, can

RHOBH - Dismissed Without Prejudice with Pia

She"s Speaking with Emily Hanks ·

2022/09/15

Either Erika's lawyers didn't explain things properly or she just didn't want to hear it. The timing of the case being dismissed in Chicago in order to be filed in California couldn't have been worse. She used that as vindication and justification for her abhorrent behavior the night before. Erika's refusal to participate in Kemo Sabe and Dorit's decision to stay by her side sent Kyle on a tequila induced spiral that culminated in a childlike tantrum that required Mauricio to step in. Kyle had the

RHOA - Reunion Part 1 with Kendrick

2022/09/14

We still don't know why Sanya is mad at Drew. Now she's claiming that they DID talk in Drew's room in front of her makeup artist, and the reason she's upset is because Drew betrayed her trust. Huh?? Andy looked like he was not enjoying her contribution to this reunion, so I hope they decide to bring her back and give her another chance. Of course Kendrick and I discuss the questionable seating arrangement, which is mainly just why is Sheree next to Andy? Before the recap we gag over the shocking
