On this episode we enjoy a couple wines from Jumbo Time Wines.  We started with Story Time and moved onto Problem Child.  Both were quite enjoyable but we both preferred the more Problem Child's 50 / 50 co-ferment of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from Hawkeye Ranch.  

Listen to us wax and wane about the current news of the day like important celebrity deaths, the end of Yellowstone, WGA strike, Ed Sheeran's copyright lawsuit, the end of Aerosmith, the Rock and Roll HoF indictees, and the coronation of King Charles III.  

Thanks for listening! 

Over 50 years ago, Judy Blume wrote a classic coming-of-age novel about a nice girl who was simultaneously facing a move to New Jersey, sixth grade, puberty, and questions about God and religion. They say good things come to those who wait…the multi-hyphenate host of The JV Club, Janet  Varney, joins us to weigh in on if this adaptation was one of those things. Plus, a lot of good and informative strike talk, and a few more ideas for childhood classics to adapt. 

What’s Good
Drea - A View of the World from Fifth Avenue
Janet - feeling fired up about equity
Ify - ripped-off sleeves to show off the guns; big union meeting

Elle Woods is an iconic character, but not an obvious one from Tre'vell  Anderson, author of the new book, We See Each Other: A Black. Trans Journey Through TV and Film. Leave it to the effervescent Tre'vell to bring their signature FANTI gray-area mindset to their Feeling Seen character choice! In this episode, Tre'vell and Jordan look at what it is about Elle Woods that offered Tre'vell a glimpse of what they could be...and consider if future generations of Black, trans folks might be able to feel seen without much mental gymnastics.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the WGA strike.
