Their Eyes Were Watching TV
Co-hosts Mal & Kam have been working hard on perfecting this podcast and look forward to sharing it with you! After graduating from The University of North Carolina, the two friends bonded over a love for TV, movies and all things pop culture. But don‘t expect the two to just parrot each other‘s comments on the show; while they may like a lot of the same shows and movies, their viewpoints are often as varied and numerous as Forrest Gump‘s box of chocolates.

This week we're discussing the new hit comedy "Abbott Elementary!" After a new student comes from a private school where he participated in their gifted program, Janine is inspired to start one at Abbott. These are young minds that need to be expanded, right?! But...what about all those other young minds who will miss out on these new experiences? Through a bit of trial, error, and personal insight from Gregory, Janine and her colleagues come up with a solution that will benefit all of their students!
"Abbott Elementary" airs Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC and is available to stream on Hulu.

And just like that, we're... well... discussing "And Just Like That..."
In the most recent episode, "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered," the ladies encounter big life changes and have to figure out how to navigate through new feelings. Carrie reflects on how fleeting youth is and seeks coolness validation from her new, young, hip neighbor. Charlotte grapples with her daughter Lily becoming a young woman and no longer being her little girl. And Miranda considers ending her marriage after finding herself deeply in love with Che. Do they end up making all the right decisions?? Nope. Not at all. Not even close. Quite the opposite actually.
"And Just Like That..." is available to stream on HBOMax.

Happy New Year, y'all! We're starting off 2022 with the season premiere of "Euphoria." In this episode, we're reunited with all of our faves (and foes) from Euphoria High and finally get a deeper look into Fezco's life and upbringing. Rue and Jules reunite for the first time since their train station breakup and we witness, quite possibly, the most stressful bathroom scene since Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho."
(We recorded this episode via Zoom, so apologies if sound gets weird in a few spots.)
CW: Drug Use, Sexual Situations
"Euphoria" airs Sunday nights at 9pm on HBO and HBO Max.

**Big spoiler warning for this episode, so please watch "Bruised" first before listening if you don't like spoilers!**
**Also including a trigger warning for mentions of child abuse, domestic abuse, rape and sexual assault, that happens, or is referenced, in the film.**
This week we're doing a deep dive into Halle Berry's directorial debut, "Bruised." We discuss the all women soundtrack, the superb acting chops of a 5 year old who is basically silent the entire film, our likes and dislikes about the film, and like 1 or 2 or...11 plot holes we noticed while watching. We share our ratings of the film and give the legendary Ms. Berry her flowers for directing, acting and doing her own stunts at 55 years young!
"Bruised" is now streaming on Netflix.

This week we discussed the S3 "90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way" Tell All. The couples we loved, or at least loved to hate, sat down with host Shaun Robinson to discuss all of their ups and downs, and where they're at today. This season left us with so many unanswered questions! Will Sumit's parents ever accept his relationship with Jenny? Have Kenny and Armando decided to adopt? Why does everyone is Corey's family enjoy an extra strong collar? Is Steven still talking to other women behind Alina's back? Well...y'all can probably figure out that last one.
All shows in the 90 Day Multiverse air on TLC, typically on Sunday nights at 8pm.

"It's like I just single-handedly annihilated, you know, every housewife in the building..."
This week we discuss part 4 of the RHOP Reunion, where Potomac super fan, Nicki Minaj, surprises the ladies and carries Andyconda's water by asking *unreasonably shady* questions he'd never be able to get away with! Nicki even revisits her "American Idol" days by asking Candi Girl to sing live...sans autotune. Brrrratatatat, indeed.
