    #11 True Beauty is a campy teen K-drama starring "Face Genius" and Mr. Iconic second lead

    Joanna has two new guests Mina and Joan in the absence of Neal to talk about the fun new K-Drama True Beauty. We go through all of their favorite characters, zaniest moments and the cameos from "Extraordinary You". They massively giggle about the two male love interests and both Joanna and Mina suffer severely from Second Lead Syndrome. All the while they discuss common k-drama tropes and why this series distinguishes itself from others. It's a comical time with some k-pop related hot topics that you won't want to miss.

    #9 Save By the Bell the reboot was surprisingly good?

    Neal and Joanna go a little heavy on hot topics like the inauguration, celebrity couples and Joanna going on and on about search party with zero details. They finally get to the new Peacock TV's Saved By the Bell reboot where they revisit Bayside high but this time Douglas High a nearby inner city school will now be sending their kids to the super affluent Bayside. They compare the old to the new and dive into each character. The talking went on for 2 hours so this episode had to be split into 2.

    #7 Brrrr it's cold in here, I said there must be some homophobia in the atmosphere? We want more Clovers...

    Neal and Joanna jump back to the millennium into the cheerleading classic "Bring it on". A teen comedy with bitchy banter and homophobic humor that made both Neal and Joanna more than uncomfortable. As much as they love Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union and Eliza Dushku... this viewing left them cringing and asking why this was so enjoyable back in the year of 2000. One thing we do know the movie got right is that we all take/steal from black culture! This marks the end of the 5th week in quarantine so as our spirits are tested with "spirit fingers", we still manage to discuss live broadcasts for stay at home viewing and get into a tiff about the show Glee... DRAMA! not really, we're just all going nuts!
