Beyond the Basement Parmida Talebi and Sana Hamidzada

What are your favourite YA shows on Netflix? What are these rankings based on? In this episode, cohosts Sana and Parmida discuss the main criteria for tier-ranking shows!

Our co-hosts discuss the "Mindy Kaling Effect" on YA shows such as Never Have I Ever, and how this effect comes off onto these shows' young audience (along with some personal rants, childhood memories, and random thoughts)!
Just as a disclaimer, we are viewing the "Mindy Kaling Effect" through it's effect on POC teens such as ourselves. As we are not South Asian (much like many Mindy Kaling characters such as in NHIE), we did not want to look through it through a lens in order to be mindful and respectful of our position here.

With season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians coming to an end, we figured it's time to look back on the show's reception by viewers + fans (such as ourselves!) and address our thoughts on the growing criticism of the show with its release.

Are our dreams simply just a game in our heads or something more? We spent this episode analyzing each others' dreams to see if our subconscious is sending any signals our way, and if they should be taken seriously. Is a dream really just ever "a dream"?

Our co-hosts discuss their thoughts and review upon the show My Life With the Walter Boys!

Two bookworms dive into their thoughts on two of their favourite book series growing up: Dork Diaries and the School for Good and Evil!
