    It's a bird...it's a plane...it's a script supervisor!

    There are many heroes when it comes to creating the magic of TV, but not all wear capes - and this isn’t just a fashion choice. On this episode, we learn about and get to know one of those unsung heroes, a script supervisor! First Sierra and Moni recap the Emmys. Yes, we know it was awhile ago, but we recorded when it was still fresh in our minds and hearts. Then we dive in to the behind the scenes of making television and chat with Caryn Ruby, a script supervisor, and the creator a...

    TV Coffee Talk

    We’re back! After a long and unexpected hiatus, we are once again chatting all about our cult-like love of television. On this show, we catch up on the all the TV shows we’ve been watching, what we love about them, why we love them - you know, no big whoop. We cover a lot, from Abbott Elementary, to the Better Call Saul series finale (there are spoilers, but we warn you in advance), and we even set the way back machine to the ‘90s to rediscover One Tree Hill. Just two writers talk...

    Valentine TV Gifts, Part 2

    Valentine TV Gifts, Part 2

    We’re back for part two of our Valentine TV Gifts episode! (Yeah, we know, it’s later than we promised, and March, but we had some technical issues (we managed to clean up most of them), and shouldn’t the love last all year long?) In this episode, we continue to share shows we would wrap up with bows and give as gifts. We take a moment to remember Betty White and all the amazing gifts she’s given us both in television and in life. And, we share one very special gift with our l...

    Valentine TV Gifts

    It’s February and with that is Valentine’s Day, the time to share gifts of love. As you all know, we love television, and TV is our love language, so we thought instead of chocolates or poems (because trust me, no one wants to hear our bloody awful poetry) we thought we would share our gifts of TV shows we love, and would love for you to watch. And, as usual, Sierra and Moni get so wrapped up in talking about TV that they run WAY over time, and have to create another two-parter episode....

    TV Weddings, Part Deux, The Return of the Vow.

    TV Weddings, Part Deux, The Return of the Vow.

    Part 2 of our TV Weddings Episode! Sierra and I continue to talk way too long all about TV weddings - the ones we loved, the ones that didn’t work for us, and the ones that were just too darn hard to watch. We discuss the differences between comedy and drama shows when it comes to the big day, and how it really all comes down to character development for a TV wedding to really work. Also, Sierra gets assurance that Game of Thrones is not the show for her. In our devotional, Sierra ...

    TV Weddings, Part 1

    Bells are ringing here at the TV Sect, Wedding Bells! In this two-parter episode we talk all about TV Weddings! As our listeners know, Sierra recently got married, and, due to a series of unexpected twists and turns, ended up having a quintessential sitcom wedding. We break down what that is, and why it works so well. Writer, podcaster, video maker Matt Baume stops by to chat with Moni about television’s first gay wedding which he spotlighted on an episode of his YouTube show ...
