    XO, Kitty Season 3 - Kitty and Min Ho Are Endgame

    In this episode of Previously On, Jillian is joined by fellow teen drama podcaster Maria Dipasquale (@leftistteendrama) to break down XO Kitty Season 3 on Netflix, and let’s just say senior year at KISS did NOT go the way Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) planned. From messy misunderstandings to schemes gone completely off the rails, this season proves once again that Kitty may have the best intentions… but her plans? Absolute chaos. We’re counting down our Top 5 Times Kitty’s Plan Failed Miserably, including her awkward spiral before the Busan trip, the attempt to create the perfect senior sunrise, the chaos at a music video shoot, and the ultimate misunderstanding that sends everyone into full panic mode over a pregnancy test. We also unpack the emotional rollercoaster of Kitty and Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), picking up right after that Season 2 cliffhanger and following their long-distance summer apart including Kitty’s trip to New York with Lara Jean (Lana Condor). And of course, we have to talk about that finale and the epic airport chase that delivers peak teen drama romance energy as Min Ho races after Kitty and the two take off for Portland together, leaving us screaming at our TVs and desperate to know what happens next. Plus, we're diving into all the burning questions Season 3 left us with -  What will Portland mean for Kitty and Min Ho? Is Yuri heading toward a full fashion empire? And what’s really next for Kitty? Are we getting a Season 4?! Leftist Teen Drama website: https://leftistteendrama.com/ Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

  7. Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette - Episodes 1 thru 4 Recap

    24 FEB

    Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette - Episodes 1 thru 4 Recap

    In this episode of Previously On, Jillian's joined by her husband Tyler to break down the first four episodes of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, the FX and Hulu series chronicling the iconic, chaotic romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. This covers "Pilot," "The Pools Party," "America's Widow," and "I Love You." Jillian (resident Kennedy historian since her middle school Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis project) forces Tyler to enter the world of Camelot, Calvin Klein minimalism, and peak 90s New York. From JFK Jr.’s enviable Manhattan schedule (gym, Central Park football, black-tie events) to Carolyn’s ultimate cool-girl mystique, we dive into why this is a full-on vibes show and why we’re obsessed. We get into: - The dreamy 90s NYC aesthetic - The fashion and music moments (hello, Calvin Klein and “Linger”) - Why telling someone it’s a “party” when it’s actually your sister’s birthday dinner is diabolical - The Darryl Hannah takedown we weren't ready for - Why we don’t care about the exact facts because "it's a love story, baby just say yes" Plus, Tyler’s takes and what’s coming next in the next couple episodes (Central Park fight? Proposal? Hyannis? Paparazzi chaos?)  00:00:00 Intro to pod 00:01:05 Obsessed with Love Story 00:09:52 Episodes 1 thru 4 00:13:52 Top 5 Things Jill Loves in Love Story 00:14:17 90s New York 00:20:47 Fashion and music 00:25:57 Vibes over plot 00:33:36 Daryl Hannah 00:36:47 Carolyn Bessette point of view 00:44:35 To Hell with Facts, It's a Love Story 00:49:11 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis 00:52:39 Tyler's Takes 00:53:15 Cigarettes 00:53:40 The cool girl 00:54:12 If they had smart phones 00:55:52 We all have become paparazzi 00:56:49 George magazine 00:59:17 JFK Jr. job today 01:01:14 Staying home is too convenient now 01:01:42 Mark Wahlberg 01:02:14 Prince Charming fantasy 01:02:42 Dating others?

  8. Tell Me Lies Season 3 Episode 8 Finale Recap + Ranking Characters Bad to Pure Evil

    21 FEB

    Tell Me Lies Season 3 Episode 8 Finale Recap + Ranking Characters Bad to Pure Evil

    In this episode of the Previously On TV podcast, Jillian is joined by her friend Kenny Marshall to recap and react to Tell Me Lies Season 3, Episode 8 "Are You Happy Now, That I'm on My Knees?" It's the last episode of TML ever and we are still not over how absolutely ICONIC (and unhinged) this ending was. We talk about why the finale being announced as the series finale basically sent everyone into a spiral, and how the show somehow managed to connect every single lie across seasons into one perfectly chaotic wedding night. From the very real “weddings are messy” conversation (Kenny has STORIES) to the question we cannot let go: how was that cake still uncut at 3AM?! We get into Stephen DeMarco’s toast turned roast (Jackson White… you ate), and why it was weirdly satisfying to watch the truth finally explode out of the most toxic person in the room. We break down the Top 5 Truths Revealed in the finale — including Pippa coming out to Wrigley, the Lucy/Evan bomb, the shocking Bree/Wrigley reveal, the truth about Yale, and the twist that made us gasp: who actually released the video. (And yes, we ask why no one asked Lucy Albright about looking like a hostage in the video… hello??) Then we dig into that ending: Lucy choosing Steven, the gas station moment, and why the scorpion and the frog theory still haunts us. Is she finally free? Is she laughing because she’s done? We debate the interpretations, but one thing is clear: Steven stings. Every. Time. Drop your thoughts on that ending in the comments! We want to hear from you. To wrap it all up, we rank the main Tell Me Lies characters from “bad” to “pure evil” — and I promise, this list gets CONTROVERSIAL. If you love messy TV, toxic friend groups, morally gray characters, and finales that leave you staring at the wall afterward… this one’s for you. 00:00:00 Intro to pod 00:01:58 Finale thoughts 00:08:35 Top 5 Truths Told in Finale 00:09:00 Pippa comes out 00:11:23 Lucy and Evan hooked up 00:20:45 Bree and Wrigley affair 00:25:48 Stephen sent Diana photos to her dad 00:32:29 Bree released video 00:42:55 Lucy and Stephen ending 00:49:08 Ranking characters bad to worst 00:50:05 Diana 00:51:32 Wrigley 00:52:19 Pippa 00:53:36 Lucy 00:57:27 Bree 00:57:47 Evan 01:01:11 Marianne 01:02:41 Stephen 01:02:48 Oliver 01:04:33 Toxicity Follow Kenny: https://www.instagram.com/voyageofatvwatcher/ https://www.instagram.com/baird_andlies22/ Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.
