The Oscar nominations are out! Valencia joins the show as we unpack it and give our thoughts. Does KPop Demon Hunter win over box office hit Zootopia 2? Michael B. Jordan and Timothee Chalamet are head to head for lead actor or does someone else come up and take it?  We have plenty to unpack and yet we somehow end up talking about Traitors.

His & Hers might be the first hit of 2026. The Netflix psychological thriller stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. This is a nice whodunit story that ends in a what seems to be a polarizing twist. But before we get there, we talk about HBO's Euphoria season 3 trailer then get into Golden Globes.

Happy New Year! I am trying something different to see what you all think. I went to see Stranger Things Finale with friends at the movies, immediately after we started recording in the car. This is our raw, unfiltered reaction to how the Duffer Brothers wrap up the series.

Is that time of year where many of us are spending time with our families and looking for something to watch. This week, Joy joins me discussing new Christmas movies. We talk about Disney+'s 'A Very Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie,' 'Merv,' and 'My Secret Santa.'  

It has been awhile. Do I remember how to podcast? I couldn't let the year go by without sharing my favorite watches of 2025. It's a tradition. It also reminded me why I enjoy doing this podcast. It's connection. But we are here to share our favorite watches of the year and you'll remember it doesn't have to be just stuff that came out this year but it has to be things we've watched for the first time.

I know it's been awhile since a new episode, I explain the future of this podcast. Then we wrap up the year with the best watches with Joy. Surprisingly, we don't have anything similar on our lists.   Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

Valencia is back to unpack Hulu Onyx Collection's latest show staring Natasha Rothwells' 'How to Die Alone,' which follows, "Mel is a broke JFK airport employee who has never experienced love; a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again." Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

This week marks the 24th anniversary of 'Almost Famous' and what a better time than now to talk speak with Malorie about it. "A 15-year-old music fan and fledgling journalist goes on the road with a popular rock band in the anything-goes 1970's." Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

It's the unofficial end of summer (yes, I know the equinox is September 22nd) so returning to the podcast after a long hiatus is Janson. He and I catchup and talk about everything we're watching including: HBO's Industry, Big Brother, Netflix's Dark and Umbrella Academy, Prime Video's Rings of Power, and so much more.  Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

Look, we are all busy meaning we can't watch everything. In this rewind episode, Courtney and I talk about shows that missed our radar. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

Amazon Prime's hit show, The Boys, season 4 wraps up in a twisted way. This week, in a spoiler filled episode (you've had time to watch) Tony returns to the show with new guest Bridget as we unpack the season and give predictions to season 5's series finale. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

AppleTV Plus has another hit with 'Presumed Innocent.' Ayana returns to unpack the mystery and see if our guesses were right. The show is among the most watched shows on streaming since June pilot episode. The show was officialy renewed for a second season after Apple claimed that the show is the most-viewed drama in the platform's history. Here's the premise: "A horrific murder upends the Chicago prosecuting attorney's office when one of its own is suspected of the crime-leaving the accused fighting to keep his family together." Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

Did HBO fumble the bag with that finale? Carlos returns to the episode to unpack the episode and sharing plenty of what is to come with the third season.  Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

We're back! Valencia and Amber return to the show to unpack the final episodes of Love Island USA and what the cast have been saying about the season and each other. We wrap up the show with other shows we're watching. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

I'm on a brief break but couldn't leave you with anything. Take a trip down memory lane as Khadesha and I talk about remakes, reboots, and adapatations.  In the coming weeks, I'll have episodes on The Boys, Love Island USA, Acolyte and much more! Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.
