Boob Tube‪!‬ Amanda Teuscher and Sarah Wides

Amanda continues her quest to watch every British panel show ever created, while Sarah ventures over to the (QUITE) dark side of the internet to take in all of HBO Max's Into the Storm. We come together to offer thoughts on the British import Staged, a very funny capsule of quarantine life (well...for celebrities)that tries, for better or worse, to depict our collective existential crisis.

Shows Discussed: The Nanny, Into the Storm, Staged, Taskmaster

Yes, that's right, Amanda finally took Sarah's advice and watched Search Party. And now she's wondering what took her so long, because it really is as great as Sarah said. Why doesn't anyone ever *listen* to us?!

If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and plow through all four seasons on HBO Max, then come back and join us for this episode. We're also talking about some more-serious shows (It's a Sin and Allen v. Farrow) and, briefly, the weirdness that was this year's Golden Globes.

Shows discussed: Search Party, It's a Sin, Allen v. Farrow, the Golden Globes

Once again we disappeared for a few weeks, but really isn't it more fun this way? To never know *quite* when to expect us, dropping a few months worth of frantic viewing habits in your laps? Maybe things will get more consistent in 2021 - don't get your hopes up. This week, a shocking turn of events where SARAH likes the British (...ish) melodrama-comedy and Amanda explains why having fun is bad (KIDDING). In other hot news, Amanda touts Lupin, Sarah devours the new dark-as-night season of Search Party, and we come back together to agree that WandaVision looks dumb. Ah, some things never change.

Shows Discussed: Bridgerton, The Flight Attendant, Fargo, Lupin, Search Party, WandaVision, Mr. Mayor

You are cordially invited to a very royal (or alternatively, British) podcast episode, in which we talk at length about how to wish someone a nice holiday during a pandemic, why Amanda has held onto a certain birthday card for years, and what American mothers liked about Princess Di.

Oh! And TV. Lots of TV. We have a range of queen-....adjacent? shows that will a) get you riled up about royals AND Maggie Thatcher, b) make you think you understand chess (you don't), or c) get you riled up about imperialism. Plus a few gems are thrown in that will get you excited about soccer-football and scaffolding. Tuck in — we're covering a lot.

Shows discussed: How To with John Wilson, I Hate Suzie, Ted Lasso, Great British Bake-Off, Would I Lie to You, The Queen's Gambit, The Crown, Queen Sono

Halloween, a full moon, the election, the Supreme Court....the Scaries Per Minute (SPM) (patent pending) rating for this week is off the charts. Luckily, Sarah and Amanda are back to distract you with a WEALTH of television they've been watching over the past month. From British comedy found only on YouTube to the new season of Fargo, plus wait - can you believe we haven't done an episode since the fresh episodes of PEN15?? Whoops. Please, close the FiveThirtyEight tab and watch an engrossing limited series instead, we beg you.

Shows Discussed: The Haunting of Bly Manor, 8 out of 10 Cats, Lovecraft Country, Great British Bakeoff, The Repair Shop, Fargo, PEN15

No, not Sarah + Amanda (although that's also a heavenly match), but Netflix + yet another massively entertaining dating show. The streamer's Indian Matchmaking is certainly elevated from the likes of Love is Blind - it's a look at the work of Sima from Mumbai, a powerhouse matchmaker. The show has some dynamite personalities and is a fascinating look at a cultural tradition, the arranged marriage, that most Americans are probably unfamiliar with, but misses an opportunity to interrogate the biases of Sima and her clients. The Emmy nominations also came out last week and while God only knows what the show will actually look like this year, at least it's still fun to talk through the highs and lows.

Shows Discussed: The Brokenwood Mysteries, Hannibal, Indian Matchmaking
