    The Shards Finale | Recap + Reactions Episodes 6 thru 9

    We’re back in Beverly Hills for the absolutely unhinged final stretch of The Shards season 1! Jillian is joined by her husband Tyler to break down Episodes 6–9, from homicidal Homecoming festivities and the world’s most brutal friend-group game to Brett and Robert becoming VERY heated rivals and a finale that somehow leaves us with even more questions than answers. We’re talking Rilly Rhonda’s return, Susan Reynolds’ controversial Homecoming Queen win, Matt Kellner’s horrifying trophy-case appearance, Steven’s blackmail era, Tom’s increasingly alarming behavior, Brett and Robert’s shocking bedroom scene, Debbie’s black-tie Halloween party, the Trawler attacking again, and Terry Schaefer taking one very dramatic tumble. Plus, we rank our Top 5 Homicidal Homecoming Moments, Top 5 Heated Rivals and our ultimate Top 5 “Whodunit?” suspects as we try to figure out who pushed Terry, who the Trawler actually is, whether there could be multiple Trawlers, and just how much we can trust anything Brett tells us. We also have plenty of Tyler’s Takes, an alarming amount of Hamburger Hamlet discourse, theories about Brett’s mysteriously absent parents, and one major request for Hulu: GIVE US SEASON 2. Because after nine episodes, somehow we know less about the Trawler than when we started. (recorded live on YouTube) Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our theme song.

    My Life with the Walter Boys | Season 3 Recap and Discussion

    Season 3 of My Life with the Walter Boys is here, and we have A LOT to discuss. Jillian is joined by Claire Wojciehowski, her fellow Walter Boys obsessive since day one, to break down what might just be the show’s best season yet. We break down Jackie and Cole finally giving into their feelings, the absolutely brutal breakup that follows, Cole’s new life in racing, Jackie trying to figure out what she wants for herself, and the fact that Uncle Richard just needs to stay out of everyone’s business. Plus, Alex finds himself at the center of a brand-new love triangle, Danny and Erin make some huge decisions about their future, and the drama of Silver Falls continues! Jillian and Claire countdown the Top 5 Drama Triangles of Season 3 because while Jackie / Cole / Alex may no longer be the show’s central love triangle, this season proves there are still plenty of complicated relationships and feelings to go around. And, of course, we have to talk about that finale cliffhanger! In classic Walter Boys fashion, we’ll be screaming until Season 4. 00:00:00 Reenactment 00:02:36 Intro to pod 00:05:53 Season 3 recap 00:09:12 Instant reactions 00:12:04 New Jackie 00:21:29 Top 5 Drama Triangles 00:22:05 Jackie, Cole, and Alex 00:27:46 Hannah 00:31:24 Cole, Erin, and Danny 00:36:46 Alex, Kiley, and Dylan 00:43:41 Jackie, Cole, Richard, and Harvard boy 00:52:12 Cliffhanger ending 01:04:16 Side characters Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our theme song.

    The Shards officially has us hooked! Jillian and Tyler break down Episodes 3 & 4 as another student disappears, Bret becomes increasingly convinced that something sinister is happening around him, and Robert Mallory somehow manages to become even more suspicious while dancing in leather pants. From Really Rhonda’s disappearance and to even more creepy phone calls, mysterious vans and a party that goes completely off the rails, the mystery of The Trawler is only getting darker but the vibes are somehow still up for Robert Mallory's party Plus, Jillian and Tyler rank the Top 5 Characters Lying to Our Faces, run through their growing list of Trawler suspects, and try to figure out whether Bret is actually getting closer to the truth or if the show is intentionally messing with all of us. And, of course, Tyler’s Takes returns for everything from homecoming and fake IDs to ’80s porn, Heaven’s Gate, needle drops and the truly important question: what the hell is Cha Cha doing north of the 10? 00:00:00 Reenactment - Really Rhonda Water 00:04:14 Intro to pod 00:07:59 Recap - Episode 3 00:13:17 Recap - Episode 4 00:23:28 Top 5 Lying to Our Faces 00:25:56 Debbie, Liz, and Terry 00:31:27 Susan Reynolds 00:37:49 Robert Mallory 00:41:32 Bret Ellis 00:45:05 The Trawler 00:48:16 Thom Wright 00:49:58 Whodunit? 00:52:33 Dance Off 00:54:22 Tyler's Takes Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.

    Sterling Point | Family Secrets, Love Triangles & That Wild Finale

    Sterling Point is giving us everything we’ve been missing from a classic teen drama—and this week, we’re diving into all of it. From the creators behind some of our favorite teen TV, the Prime Video series brings the family secrets, love triangles, shocking reveals and emotional cliffhangers, while somehow making even its soapiest twists feel incredibly human. I'm breaking down the entire first season, including Annie’s unexpected summer at Sterling Point, her growing connection with Ellis, Ramona and Oona’s complicated relationship, and the family mystery that completely turns Annie, Connor and Ramona’s lives upside down. Plus, we count down the Top 5 Classic Teen Drama Soapy Moments Turned Sincere, from secret letters and messy love lives to that absolutely wild reveal about Ramona’s biological father. We also get into why Sterling Point feels like a true return to the teen dramas of the Dawson’s Creek, The O.C. and Gossip Girl era, why its characters and dialogue feel so refreshingly real, the season finale’s biggest unanswered questions, and why we desperately need Season 2. And yes, we have to talk about that Ellis move.

    The Shards Episodes 1 and 2 Recap + Reactions | It's camp!

    Ryan Murphy’s The Shards is here, and apparently senior year in 1980s Los Angeles involves drugs, secrets, questionable hairstyles, mysterious new students, cults, serial killers, and absolutely no reliable narrators. Jillian is joined by her husband Tyler to break down Episodes 1 and 2 of The Shards, based on Bret Easton Ellis’ novel. We break down Bret’s growing obsession with mysterious new student Robert Mallory, whether Robert really was at that screening of The Shining, Matt’s disappearance, and the increasingly disturbing threat of The Trawler. Plus, we get into the gloriously over-the-top ’80s vibe of it all, debate who could actually be behind the murders, and rank our Top 5 “Now That’s What I Call Camp!” moments that includes Debbie’s completely unhinged parents, Susan Reynolds doing the most as student body president, and Bret rewriting his own reality in real time. And, of course, Tyler has plenty of Takes on spooky vans, aquariums, 26-year-olds playing high schoolers, and a homecoming party at the Beverly Hills Hotel. 00:00:00 Reenactment - Bret-Robert-The Shining 00:01:34 Intro to pod 00:04:02 Behind the scenes 00:19:14 Recap Episode 1 00:22:55 Recap Episode 2 00:26:28 Top 5 Camp 00:27:53 Terry and Steven 00:31:35 Debbie's mom Liz 00:33:46 The Trawler 00:37:51 Susan Reynolds 00:41:20 Bret Easton Ellis 00:47:48 Whodunit 00:50:57 Tyler's Takes Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.
