Yup... Yup... Yup... It's time for another episode of Unwatchable! 

Chloe sits down with Amy and Jackie from the Ho Yeah! Pod, to talk about the long-running animated Fox series, King of the Hill. Specifically, we focus on character-driven comedy, and how King of the Hill changed the course of character development in the family-style sitcom. 

They go through the characters they love, their favorite episodes, and spread some Peggy Hill love. Plus, which characters progress the most throughout the series, and which characters are downright... Unwatchable? (cough cough, Cotton.)

What is a Quibi? 

First, Chloe does a deep-dive into the inception of Quibi, focusing on the man behind the Quibs: Jeffrey Katzenberg. 

Then, writer and friend of the show, Jake Smith, drops in to sift through a selection of content from the app. We talk Chrissy Teigen conspiracy theories, robotic arms, food cannons, and much much more! 

Is Quibi a sustainable new form of media? Would we Quib again? And what makes a Quibi... Unwatchable?

* This episode was recorded in late February, before Los Angeles was issued a mandatory stay-at-home order. 

Chloe sits down with writer and actor, Alex Kyle Young, to talk all about their shared (and very specific) guilty pleasure: cooking competition shows. They discuss behind-the-scenes secrets of Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, Master Chef and Cooks vs Cons. Plus, see if Alex can decipher a list of generic food nicknames. And, if they could choose anyone in history to eat spaghetti with, who would it be?

Chloe and Maddy are back to wrap up their thoughts on the Netflix documentary series that everyone is talking about - Tiger King! 

In this episode, we break down episodes 4-7 of Tiger King. This last half of the series is filled with everything you could want, and more: a political campaign, double-crossing, lots and lots and LOTS of guns, and of course, cheesy music videos. 

Who reigns supreme as the one true king of tigers? And what happened to everyone after the documentary aired? Sit six feet apart from your quarantine buddy (or, even better, your hot nanny) and find out, on this episode of Unwatchable!

In part two of our special series "When It Became Unwatchable", we are talking all about the sitcom, New Girl. 

Running from September 20, 2011 to May 15, 2018, New Girl is one of the most popular sitcoms of the decade. Set in Los Angeles and following the lives of a handful of 30-somethings, trying to get their lives together, it is often compared to shows like How I Met Your Mother, and Friends. But what sets New Girl apart?

Chloe goes through all seven seasons of New Girl, and analyses why the show worked so well, why it started to "jump the shark", and when it finally hit the point of no return: the day it became Unwatchable. 

How do you feel about New Girl? Let us know in your review, or leave a comment on our Instagram!

Grab some paper and a pencil -  an eraser, some 5-Hour energy drinks, maybe a rotting apple to keep in your desk, and a sense of "when does it end?!" - we are talking all about the love/hate relationship between a writer and their creative process. 

Chloe sits down with sketch and script writer, Jake Smith, to discuss life as an aspiring writer. Looking at their individual methods while tackling a project, they discuss writer's block, handling critiques, and tackle the age-old question: is your writing project ever really complete?

In today's episode, writer and podcaster Marisa Schley, sits down with Chloe to discuss the true crime documentary, "The Last Days of Phil Hartman". 

While unraveling the complicated story of a tumultuous relationship, addiction, and conflicting ambitions, Chloe and Marisa discuss the issues that ultimately led to the tragic demise of Phil Hartman at the hands of his wife, Brynn Omdahl. 

Unwatchable is not a true crime podcast. But in a time where true crime series and documentaries are at a peak in popularity, we just couldn't resist the opportunity to explore a new kind of recap.

The Month of Love is coming to an end - and we are sending February off in style, with two of our favorite guests! 

The Pwincess Bwide is what bwings us togever today. Chloe sits down with Mandy-Patinkin-type, Jarad Kopciak, and Westley-By-Default, Jayme Andrews, to talk all about the inconceivable classic. In previous episodes, Chloe has expressed that the film is overrated. Now, the two Magic Quest Boys are here to defend it's honor - and yeah, they are all gonna fight! 

Crack open a can of Mountain Dew: Pink Cowgirl, start your shit-engines, and prepare to get G-Fingered! Will Chloe be saying "as you wish" to The Princess Bride by the end of this episode, or is it still Unwatchable?

Happy Valentine's Day from Unwatchable! 

We are continuing the Month of Love with a guest that we love, Shayna Woods!
The ladies sit down with donuts and metaphorical wine, to talk about the different types of rom-coms, and what their personal favorites are. 

From screwball comedies, to low-budget films, to the relatively new "dramedy", the rom-com formula has changed a lot over the years. What are some of the best rom-coms to watch this Valentine's Day? AND who will be crowned the King and Queen of the genre?

Hello, Nice To Meet You, welcome back to Unwatchable! 

It's finally time for the long-awaited Crazy Ex-Girlfriend episode, and Chloe is here with friend of the show, Ellen Beizer, to break down all four seasons of the legendary musical comedy. 

They solve The Math of Love Triangles and determine who Rebecca ultimately ends up with, become Flooded With Justice while fighting over their favorite songs, and Do The Cringe over some of the shows weaker moments. 

Plus, they get into some awkward Real Life Fighting when presented with the age old question: Old Greg vs New Greg?

We've got Nolan Sykes from Donut Media on the pod today! Together, Nolan and Chloe deconstruct some car-centric Netflix shows, and decide which ones are souped-up, and which ones need a complete overhaul. 

His experience as a gear-head and producer of car-based content, gives Nolan an insight into the validity & technical savvy of each show. Meanwhile, Chloe can vouch for each show's story structure & accessibility, from the perspective of a car novice who can't tell a torque wrench from a jack stand (she had to google these terms in order to write this description)!

Featured Shows: Rust Valley Restorers, Fastest Car, and Hyperdrive, (and of course, a tribute to Top Gear). Which of these shows will finish in first place, and which ones are downright...Unwatchable?

LIVE FROM NEW YORK ITS SATURDAY NIGHT!!

Since 1975, Saturday Night Live has produced some of the most talked-about comedy & served as a career-launcher for the world's brightest comedy stars. Does it still hold up? Or has it become Unwatchable? Chloe sits down with her friend of over sixteen years, Zack Hillman, to dish on the legendary live sketch show. 

These life-long friends (and theatre nerds) talk favorite sketches, what makes an SNL icon, and theorize how the show has kept afloat after 45 years of live television. Who will be crowned as the best SNL host of all time? And... does Chloe owe Chevy Chase an apology?

What is your favorite era of SNL? Let us know in your review, or leave a comment on our Instagram! Buh-Bye!

Chloe sits down with actor, improviser, and writer, Kevin Shacter (not Shactner - he will kill you!) and the two discuss the Oscar-nominated 1999 South Park movie/musical. 

Guided by a South Park super fan (Kevin), our host (Chloe) sets off on a musical journey through a Quiet Little Mountain Town, rocked by obscenities, fart jokes, and a turbulent Satan/Saddam Hussein romance (still a better love story than Twilight). 

They also debate the controversial brilliance of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, their platform as "Equal Opportunity Offenders", and tripping balls at the academy awards. Does "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" serve up "Asses of Fire" level comedy? Or is it simply... Unwatchable? FART!

Chloe sits down with actor and podcaster, Jayme Andrews, and the two obsess over the behemoth of family animation, Pixar Animation Studios.

Its a wild one, and Jayme and Chloe have a lot to say, so pop the champagne and put on your cozy socks - you don't want to miss this Unwatchable deep dive. 

What is your top pick from Pixar Animation? Is the company past its peak? And will you be seeing Onward or Soul in 2020? Leave a review with your answer, or comment on our Instagram page!

Put everything else on paws and listen to this right now! 

CATS is officially the most unwatchable movie of 2019 - but why? 

We are not kitten around when we say that this feline frenzy is paws-itively the most claw-ful meow-vie of 2019. In this bonus review, the claws come out while Chloe talks about the new adaptation of CATS - from the perspective of someone who has performed in the musical itself. 

What other cats puns did we forget? Uhhhhh... something about it being puuuur-fectly terrible? Sure! Lets end on that one.
