    Weekly Roundup: “All the Beauty in the World,” DWTS Season 33 Oscars Night, and Parenting Is Not a Panacea

    Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is another nonfiction, memoir-ish pick called All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley, which chronicles the author's ten-year stint as a guard at the museum. Mentioned: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, also set at the Met. ​ Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the DWTS ballroom, where Dwight and Daniella pulled off a beautiful foxtrot and our fave Stephen showed he could do more than jive. The less said about the eliminated Anna the better. Mentioned: Champions, with Kaitlyn Olson, who we're seeing a lot during DWTS in ads for her new show, High Potential; and Terri's Substack, Too Old for Cool. In the archives, we headed all the way back to 2017 to discuss our assertion that parenting is not a panacea. ​ Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E13, "Hearts and Minds," on Tuesday, October 1Only Murders in the Building S4 E6, "Blow-Up," on Wednesday, October 2Weekly roundup (not including DWTS, as the show will be off for the week​) on Thursday, October 3 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

    Parenting Tips from “Only Murders in the Building” S4 E5, “Adaptation”

    On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This season isn't hitting as well as past ones have, except when Detective Williams comes in to be the mom and lay down the law. We'd like more of that and less of Hollywood making fun of itself. Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E6 of Only Murders in the Building, “Blow-Up.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup (which will include a chat about the September 24 episode of Dancing with the Stars).

    Parenting Tips from “Lost” S1 E12, “Whatever the Case May Be”

    Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode's punny title is a sign that it's a pretty lightweight one, despite the presence of three dead and decomposing bodies. It's a Kate flashback episode, and she flashes a lot of her backside, too. Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 13, "Hearts and Minds." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 5 of Only Murders in the Building.

    Weekly Roundup: “Remedies for Sorrow,” DWTS Season 33 Premiere, and Managing Stress and Worry

    Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find grabbed her attention with its dramatic subtitle. It's a memoir by Megan Nix called Remedies for Sorrow: An Extraordinary Child, A Secret Kept from Pregnant Women, and a Mother's Pursuit of the Truth, which is a compelling mix of family tale and investigative journalism. ​ Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the Dancing with the Stars ballroom. Terri's all in for Pommel Horse Guy Stephen Nedoroscik, who was absolutely delightful (and absolutely underscored) in his first outing. Catherine's a PHG fan too, but also wants to see more of rugby player Ilona Maher. And both anticipate a lot of creativity from Daniella (5'3") choreographing for her partner Dwight Howard (6'11").  In the archives, we journey back to 2019 to discuss all the ways we try (and usually fail) to manage stress and worry. Mentioned: Trello and Artful Agenda. ​ Next week's lineup:  Lost S1 E12, "Whatever the Case May Be," on Tuesday, September 24Only Murders in the Building S4 E5, "Adaptation," on Wednesday, September 25Weekly roundup (including DWTS​) on Thursday, September 26 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

    Parenting Tips from “Only Murders in the Building” S4 E4, “The Stunt Man”

    On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This episode continued its focus on the Westie side of the building, but also gave us a look at Sazz's stuntman life. Mentioned: Stuntman movie The Fall Guy and its star Ryan Gosling in Barbie (at the Oscars and on SNL) and Crazy Stupid Love (warning, 13-year-old spoilers await at that link); the upcoming movie His Three Daughters. Oh, and we also talked about the likely cost of a leg of shower ham. Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E5 of Only Murders in the Building, “Adaptation.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup (which will include a chat about the September 17 premiere of the new season of Dancing with the Stars).

    Parenting Tips from “Lost” S1 E11, “All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues”

    Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode has "daddy issues" right in the title, so you know it's going to be a doozy. And it was, with lots of flashbacks to Jack's Bad Dad and some pretty bad stuff happening on mystery island, too. Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 12, "Whatever the Case May Be." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 4 of Only Murders in the Building.

    Weekly Roundup: “The Apartment: A Century of Russian History,” Special K Pumpkin Spice Cereal, and Mortifying Our Children

    Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find caught her eye thanks to our recent watch of A Gentleman in Moscow. It's a children's book called The Apartment: A Century of Russian History by Alexandra Litvina, illustrated by Anna Desnitskaya and translated by Antonina W. Bouis. It covers six generations of a family and their life in the titular apartment. ​ Terri's random recommendation is a new way to get your morning dose of pumpkin spice: Special K Pumpkin Spice cereal. Happy fall, y'all! In the archives, we discussed the ways we've been mortifying our children since 2019 (not to mention long before that). ​ Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E11, "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues," on Tuesday, September 10Only Murders in the Building S4 E3, "Two for the Road," on Wednesday, September 11Weekly roundup on Thursday, September 12 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

    Parenting Tips from “Only Murders in the Building” S4 E3, “Two for the Road”

    On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. And while this week's episode was indeed set in The Building, it had a Hollywood flavor that we didn't love. We're hoping the three actors hightail it back to LA very soon.  Mentioned: "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" (from OMITB season 3) gets an Emmy; the Perfect Strangers theme song on The Leftovers. Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E4 of Only Murders in the Building, “The Stunt Man.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.
