Wu-Tang: An American Saga - Protect Ya Neck (S2, Ep. 6)

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back this week to discuss episode 2 of "The Ones Who Live" entitled "Gone." We talk about Michonne's journey to find Rick and appreciate that despite encounters with human dangers like Negan and the Whisperers in the main series, we find her still open to new people. We also discuss her decision to withhold information about RJ from Rick.

Of course, we had to celebrate the amazing performance by Matthew Jeffers as Nat.  We praise Jeffers' performance and talk about his amazing chemistry with Dana Guirira, which is likely due to the two having prior acting history together.  Speaking of  chemistry, we loved all of the kissing and reconnecting between Richonne in this episode.  And we unpack our frustration with the character who threatened our favorite couple this week - Jadis, the wild card.

Thanks so much for listening! We will be back next week to discuss episode 3.  Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

My amazing conversation with Jay Giles about The Wire concludes with a bonus segment in which we reflect on the series as a whole. We share which season was our favorite and why.  And of course I had to ask Jay about the "controversial" second season of the series and whether or not he enjoyed it.  We talk about satisfying character deaths, our favorite moment of comeuppance, and other memorable character introductions beyond the pilot.

Thanks so much for listening!

Happy Wine Wednesday! In anticipation of the premiere of "The Ones Who Live" AKA the Richonne spinoff, Candi is back this week to discuss everything we love about this ship.  And on a programming note, we will be doing episode-by-episode coverage of "The Ones Who Live".

For this very special Richonne episode, we start off by talking about the characters individually and what we like so much about them.  From there, we get into all things Richonne.  We share the moment when we first started to see the romantic potential for the duo, the buildup to the pair becoming official, and where the writers left them at the end of The Walking Dead.  Of course we talk about the Grimes family as a whole and some of our favorite moments with them and we each share our favorite Richonne episode. 

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a really great time.  Thanks so much for listening!

My conversation with Jay about the pilot episode of The Wire continues! If you haven't listened to part 1 of our conversation, check it out here.  In this final part of our discussion about the pilot, we talk about what worked well in the episode and whether we would change anything about this well executed hour of television.  We examine whether The Wire is copaganda and close out the discussion with the thirst segment.  I asked Jay to do some thirst-inspired casting for the show. 

Thank you so much for listening! There will be a new episode next Wine Wednesday and keep an eye on your feed for the bonus segment in which Jay and I share reflections about The Wire beyond the pilot.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Jay Giles joined me this week for an amazing discussion about the pilot episode of one of the best series of all time - The Wire.  This is hands down one of my favorite discussions on the podcast and I think that's reflected in the run time for our discussion.  To spare you one very long episode, we've broken the chat down into three parts.  Enjoy part 1 and keep an eye on your feed for part 2 tomorrow.

Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Lauren returns to the podcast this week to discuss the Barbie movie.  We talk character arcs and our surprise about the film being named Barbie and featuring so much Barbie . . . and Ken.  That said, there's no denying that Ryan Gosling was the perfect fit for the role.  And Margot Robbie was born to play Barbie.  it's WILD to think that anyone other than Robbie was ever considered for the role - looking at you, Amy Schumer. 

Congrats to America Ferrara and Ryan Gosling for their Oscar nominations! Of course we talk about Ferrara's big speech and whether or not it worked for us.  Her delivery of the speech was riveting, but we both wish that Gerwig had trusted her audience a little more with the film's messaging.

This movie was such a visual delight, so of course we get into favorite Barbie outfits and favorite set from the film.  I also asked Lauren to tell me who her Barbie would be and what she would wear.  We also applaud the film's inclusiveness, but would have loved a lot more LGBTQ+ representation.

Thanks so much for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.  Find and follow Lauren on social media here.

Happy Wine Wednesday! And welcome to 2024.  New podcast episodes are underway, but in honor of the The Bear's well deserved awards at the Golden Globes, I wanted to revisit my discussion with Rev. Solomon Missouri about the amazing second season of this series.

We unpack character development, the amazing guest stars, and of course we talk all things "Fishes".  As always, Solomon is funny and insightful - I could listen to him talk about this series forever! 

Thanks so much for listening! And be sure to support Solomon on social media - if you are not following him, you are absolutely missing out.  You can find everywhere Solomon is located on social media here. And find his ICONIC thread and words of wisdom for Dell Curry here.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back and we are unpacking the pilot episode of one of my favorite series of all time - The Tudors. 

Y'all know how I love a period piece, so there are some fun historical facts sprinkled throughout the episode.  Special shoutout to Alison Weir - my go to author for all things Tudor dynasty.  You can find all of her work here.

Candi and I  share impressions of the pilot as an introduction to the series, the brilliance of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII, and we demand justice for the many, many women who had the misfortune of being married to Henry.

If you haven't watched this series, we are here to tell you why you should get into it.  It's a perfect holiday binge.

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.
