2025/10/29

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Since we missed discussing the show last week, we doubled up this time and covered E8, "Cuckoo Chicks," and E9, "LESTR." These featured some fun scenes, but we're still scratching our heads over the mystery itself. Best to just enjoy the actors and let the plot wash over you. Mentioned: The official OMITB podcast, hosted by Michael Cyril Creighton.Next Wednesday, we'll

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we're flashing forward with Hurley, whose post-island life seems pretty similar to his pre-island life, in several meaningful ways. Meanwhile, on the island, the castaways are splitting into factions, making for some interesting combinations. Mentioned: Lance Reddick as newly introduced baddie (? unconfirmed, seems like a safe assumption) Matthew Abaddon.Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 4,

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is what her library calls "Boomerang Books." These are titles that aren't cataloged and can't be checked out. You can just borrow them for as long as you need them, then bring them back for the next person to enjoy.

2025/10/22

Usually on Wednesdays, we discuss a newer entertainment property. But since yesterday's Lost episode was tantalizingly close to the end of season 3, we decided to bump Only Murders in the Building and devote today's chat to the two-hour season 3 finale, "Through the Looking Glass." People die, people almost die, people seem to be dead but aren't really dead. People seem to be in the past when they're in the future. People seem to be on Team Ben or Team Jack or Team Anyone But Those Two. We're still

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we actually get a series of pretty happy flashbacks to the "greatest hits" of Charlie's life.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a fun, funny, and punny spooky season pick: Stompie the Zombie by Margery Cuyler, with adorable illustrations by Binny Talib.Terri's random recommendation is a little album you may have heard about called The Life of a Showgirl. Once you realize it's all about snappy, poppy, danceable tunes, you'll fall in love.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2020 on old moms learning new tricks.Next

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building.

This week's episode took a Lost turn by showing us flashbacks from Oliver's formative years in Brooklyn. Plus, Meryl Streep returns, after a fire in Loretta's apartment that is hand-waved away much too quickly. We're sure it will be back.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 5, episode 7.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Last week, we complained about the schtick level, and now we have issues with the plausibility level, as the trio laughably escapes the billionaires' attention in the Velvet Room and then falls for an obviously bad business deal without a second thought. Mentioned: "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" (the patter song from season 3). Next Wednesday, we'll continue with

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find has a title that got her fuming: The Joy of Half a Cookie by Jean Keristeller with Alisa Bowman. It's meant to be a diet book that uses mindfulness and meditation techniques to promote weight loss. We think it would be much more joyful to just eat an entire cookie.Terri's random recommendation is a return to a previous pick, the one sec app. It's now added a website-blocker feature to its previous offering, a

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. The start of season 5 was uneven: The shtick dial was turned up way too high in episodes 1 and 3, but episode 2 was a lovely look at Lester's life at the Arconia. Mentioned: Tony Plana (playing the doorman who mentored Lester) as grandfather Berto on the 2017 remake of One Day at a Time.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 5, episode 4, "Dirty Birds."
