  • We Might Need Some Therapy | Spotify Wrapped 2023
    Dec 4 2023

    We spend a lot of time here talking about the television that we're normal about, but there's another source of media that makes us a little crazy-music!

    In this bonus episode, we guess at what each other's Spotify Wrapped for the year looked like and psychoanalyze each other based on the artist's and songs that landed in our top 5.

    We've had so much fun this year sharing all our thoughts and big feelings on our favorite shows and we're so appreciative to you for listening! Thank you! <3

  • There's So Much to Process | Our Flag Means Death, Season 2, Ep. 8
    Oct 30 2023

    We can't believe we're already at the finale of Our Flag Means Death Season 2 and SO MUCH happened in 30 minutes for us to properly process.

    In this episode we talk about the scenes that made us crazy, music motifs, the impact streaming services have on art, and, of course, it wouldn't be a review of ofmd season two without the Con O'Neill Corner :')

    Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us for all of our thoughts on this season! We hope you stick around for all of the other things that we are totally and completely normal about :D

    Oct 16 2023

    Yeah. I think this show is going to be our demise if it continues to give us EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER WANTED AND MORE?!?!?! HELLO?!?!
