Episode 8: Bodyguard | Mum’s the Word

We’re back from hiatus with our first episode to break the 40-minute mark, discussing Bodyguard, gender politics lite, and biscuits (that’s cookies to us ‘Mericans). We also touch briefly on Hinterland because Sarah can’t get enough of bleak police procedurals that feature indecipherable accents, and we’re celebrating the fact that Melissa is no longer ‘casting from her bathtub.

Episode 7: Nigella Bites, Poldark | Lovely Squelching

Do you remember food television circa 1999? In the early years of her reign, Queen Nigella encouraged eating with your hands, paring dinner parties down to two courses, and getting…familiar with ingredients. In this episode, Melissa and Sarah fondly reminisce about the glory days of cooking shows and discuss the merits of Ross Poldark (spoiler alert: there aren’t many).

Episode 6: Shetland, The Miniaturist | Sister Sister

In this episode, a little more Vicious chat, the geographical and linguistic challenges of Shetland, and a deeper dive into the not-so-surprise hit of the week, The Miniaturist. We get a bit sociological in this one, touching on the puzzling and often contradictory mores of 1680s Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV. Plus, what the *!#@ happened to Sarah’s Biscuit Brew??

Episode 4: GBBO | Back in the Tent

Melissa and Sarah discuss their final thoughts on Miranda, but mostly they’re excited to bask in the warm, buttery light of Great British Bake Off. (No spoilers here – we’re talking series eight, which wrapped in 2017.) Also nestled inside this flaky pastry of an episode: some iced tea chat, a 20-second synopsis of An Officer and a Gentleman, and what we’re watching for the next installment.

Episode 3: Miranda

What’s more awkward than your high school French teacher taking up with your BFF? Well, to quote Cady Heron, the limit does not exist (when you’re Miranda). Listen in as Melissa and Sarah discuss this delightful late-aughts sitcom, along with some extended tea talk, biscuit business, listener suggestions, and Melissa’s hardline stance on Peep Show.

Episode 2: Fawlty Towers

Well, there’s something to be said for letting some things stay in the past. We’re not saying Fawlty Towers isn’t worth a 2018 re-watch (or first watch!) but some of the jokes are harder to hear now than they were 43 years ago when the show premiered. That said, we discuss our impressions of the first two episodes and chat a bit about sitcoms in general. Listen over on the ‘bean.
