    606 - Catastrophe

    606 - Catastrophe

    Rob and Sharon sittin' in a tree, C-A-T-A-S-TRO-PHE. First comes fling, then comes baby, then comes the best marriage on TV... maybe. Join the gals as they contemplate what constitutes true romance, the pros and cons of finding love later in life, and how Chris Noth makes the perfect dirtbag (note: this episode was recorded before the assault allegations against him were brought to light... otherwise it definitely would have come up).

    603 - A Bit of Fry & Laurie

    603 - A Bit of Fry & Laurie

    Kaley and Steff are in an appropriately silly mood (though not in an appropriately articulate mental state... thanks, COVID) as they discuss the classic sketch collaboration of two national treasures, A Bit of Fry & Laurie. Also, Steff argues for the trendiness of a certain sexual activity, and Kaley retracts a 3-year-old statement about wigs.

    602 - The Vicar of Dibley

    Join Steff and Kaley in the green pastures of Dibley, where you shall not want for humanistic life lessons, whimsical displays, surprisingly dirty jokes, and lovable idiots.

    601 - Staged

    601 - Staged

    After a long hiatus, Kaley and Steff return triumphant--pantless, a little flabby, and lightly traumatized--with a frequently meandering conversation about Staged, the expertly crafted and hilariously self-aware Zoom-based pandemic comedy to end all Zoom-based pandemic comedies (please).

Smart Commentary and Fun Humor

Kaley and Stephanie review both classics of British comedy (Monty Python, Mr. Bean, Fawlty Towers, etc.) and newer gems (Bottom, Fleabag, Peep Show, etc.) with their sharp eyes and plenty of humor on their part. While the real delight of this podcast lies in the hosts' multifaceted discussions of the comedy, plotlines, greater themes, and social commentary of these shows, I've of course also found plenty of recommendations to check out (the only sad part is that I can't watch everything!).

british comedy appreciation!

A deep dive into some of the smartest, most hilarious shows ever with two women clearly having a ton of fun commenting on the material. Feels like a re-watch hang with your best friend.

Ugh

These women don’t seem to really understand the shows they’re talking about at all.
