We start the new season of Pretty Little Liars (apparently that's just the series name and the seasons have specific names???) and are enjoying the lighter sequel tone so far. We ask why there's suddenly more old timey technology around, delight in the punny name of spookyspaghetti.com, quickly tidying up season 1 loose ends, question the methods o…

We've come to the end of the first season and can't help feeling disappointed by the reveals. We discuss the A reveal, what conclusions in fiction we've actually liked, the open plot holes, missed horror opportunities, and the tidy resolution for all the characters. But first, we take a dive down the Dancing with the Stars rabbit hole. Episode 109 …

Of course we'd come around on the series when it had its Halloween episode! We come in excited to discuss Imogen throwing a rager, how sweet all the love interests are (for now...), everybody pairing off, and how the show flipped our views on Karen/Kelly. We also dig into some difficult reveals about Tabby and Mouse, the show incorporating Tabby's …

Outside of some big moments, it's a bit of slower week and unfortunately not really hitting our hopes so far. We discuss the rollout of the mystery, our theories on which twin survived, theorize on who the actual targets are, Noa's rote characterization, try to parse out who Mouse actually is, Faran's extremely fair weather attitude and the coaliti…

We're back with the start of Original Sin and we have a ton to talk about! We discuss our thoughts on the big changes in tone, how this relates to other PLL series and our preferences for horror.

We reach the end of the Perfectionists and it's abrupt close to its only season.

We've unfortunately got a lot of complaints this week as the show dilly dallies to its conclusion. We discuss how this show isn't setup to be so short, how it messes up all of its romantic plotlines, the irrationality of continuing to trust Claire, the show trying to pull a gotcha on Ali, Jeremy's hilarious freak out, Dylan's inability to not make …
  continue reading
 
The Perfectionists is still finding its footing and unfortunately we're only 4 episodes away from the end.

  continue reading
 
We're back with the PLL sequel series and it might actually be good?? We're surprised by how much we enjoy the new location, the new focus on surveillance technology and controlling people and our new cast of characters. We're not quite as enthused with the focus on Alison and Mona's newfound focus on "equations" but if it keeps up the quality we'l…
  continue reading
 
We record a massive episode discussing the series finale but mostly answering questions about the series! We discuss Emily's memories of originally watching the finale, how big of a mess it is, the accent vs. Troian's amazing acting, Wren's absolute nightmare, the relative happy endings and all the big plot holes. We then dive into a list of questi…

Episode 96 …

  continue reading
 
PLL serves up a whole plate of nothing this week so much that there wasn't enough to do theory corner. We still manage to gather ourselves to discuss teenagers with bad vibes, Emily being a massive narc, Hanna's fashion nightmares, the Hasting's kicking Spencer out of the house, how effective the show is at bringing back old characters & Aria's sur…
  continue reading
 
The moment Emily has been waiting for; Noel's head rolls down the stairs like a bowling ball. What a magical moment in a supremely fun and silly episode. We discuss Hanna going Azriel-mode, whether or not Mona was supposed to have been keeping an eye on Noel, Jenna and Noel's trap and overestimating just how much the girls know. Also the Delaurenti…
  continue reading

  continue reading
 
Jenna's back! Mona's back! Noel is also back too I guess, but more importantly it's a girlboss conference happening in Rosewood. This is all juxtaposed to some very intense goings on as everyone has to confront their trauma whether it be some heartbreaking scenes of Spaleb, Ali reliving horrifying experiences, or Hanna completely shellshocked. We a…
