    The Couch - 16 - The Couch's Guide to Drama

    Maria and Jess wonder where they'd resettle their roots if NYC becomes too much to handle. Jess can't get over the brilliance of The Leftovers and the thrill of Girlfriends Guide to Divorce. WATCH IT! Maria's engages in a love affair with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Would her lover approve? Today's letter from home is 100% drama and we find out the girls don't give good advice!

    The Couch - 15 - Should We Get Out More?

    Oh boy, this week Maria is lovvvving on Bob’s Burgers (or as she calls it, Bob’s Burgies), Andre Holland, and Laurel on HTGAWM. Jess’s watching of Jane the Virgin leads to a discussion of what the girls would do if they were accidentally artificially inseminated with a stranger’s sperm and got pregnant. Let’s just say Maria takes the question very seriously. PLUS 2 more questions from listeners!

    The Couch - 14 - TV IS BACK. ALRIGHT!

    Our favorite Fall shows are back, and these two have been watching a lot of TV. Jess is devouring Gilmore Girls again and trying to suck Maria in with her. Maria’s finally reunited with her fave ensembles (B99, Blackish, Modern Family, Fresh Off the Boat, Flash, Arrow) and still holding a torch for Empire. Will these two dummies start watching more of the same shows?

    The Couch - 13 - Mr. Robot Fried Our Brains

    Maria struggles to recover after the end of Mr. Robot's first season but has enough juice to praise Rami Malek. Jess talks about the greatness of Fargo, her damaging dependency on Younger and how Difficult People eventually won her over. Jess decides to give Gilmore Girls another rewatch, but will Maria join her?! The girls struggle to answer their first letter from a listener after Jess denies his existence (Sorry, Marcus!).

    The Couch - 12 - We Don't Want Reboots

    Maria and Jess don't agree on a lot but they both agree reboots need to GO. Join them as they determine whether or not reboots in the future fall into the same category as reboots. Just listen, you’ll get it. Jess shares her love of USA shows (Playing House, Mr. Robot), Maria FINALLY gets into Bob’s Burgers, and Jess confuses The Wiz and Wit as they discuss those NBC live musicals. Also, how soon after the Sense8 pilot do things start to make sense?

    The Couch - 11 - 80 Minutes of Nonsense

    Join Jess and Maria as they talk about what Jess would call "real TV" (Bojack Horseman, Mr. Robot, Wet Hot American Summer), and television events Jess considers second-class citizens (7 Days in Hell, the GOP Debate)... Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson seems like a good dude though the jury's still out on Ballers; something happened to Laurel Lance's face in the early seasons of Arrow; and Jess invests in a helmet. Southern Belle Maria takes over and refuses yield her time!

    The Couch - 09 - How to be Petty

    Maria & Jess get dark this week. The girls cover ghosts, the apocalypse and aliens. Jess reveals that she was THIS close to booking a trip hosted by the host of Paranormal State. Remember that show?? Probably not. Maria loses her mind at the end of the episode. We apologize in advance.
