    Selfie 1x01 Recap | "Pilot"

    It's time for a blast into the past: specifically back to 2014 when ABC debuted a tragically cancelled TV series called Selfie. Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) were huge fans of the short-lived show and decided to revisit it this summer. So stay tuned as they cover all 13 episodes. To kick things off though, they talk about the series' pilot.  The cohosts spend the first part of the episode taking a trip back to a simpler time, reflecting on what it was like to watch pilot seasons unfold, as well as posting on social media and watching episodes along with the casts of your favorite TV shows. They also talk about ABC's lineup of great shows with regrettable titles (including this one). The two then get into the premise of the show itself, discuss how the pilot functions as a Pygmalion/My Fair Lady adaptation, swoon over John Cho as a pitch-perfect romantic lead, talk about the lovely and versatile Karen Gillan, and then end discussing why the show technically had two pilots and the differences between what aired live and what made it onto Hulu. If you can find the series, watch along with us this summer and fall! Enjoy the episode!

  3. Mythic Quest Postmortem Recap | Saying Goodbye to Our Show!

    Mythic Quest Postmortem Recap | Saying Goodbye to Our Show!

    Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) are back one last time to talk about their beloved (and now tragically cancelled) series, Mythic Quest. On their "Heaven and Hell" recap, they talked about that game-changing final scene featuring Ian and Poppy kissing. But now that the ending has changed, Jenn and Chels process how they feel about the original ending's erasure. They also discuss television series cancellations in general, "lost" media, what kind of precedent changing an ending of a cancelled show could create for showrunners in the future, and why people should still watch Mythic Quest even though it won't be returning for another season. They then daydream what could have been for a season five, and end by playing a fun game of selecting currently running TV shows they'd like to transport the Mythic Quest crew into. Enjoy, all!

  4. Reality TV & Soaps Rewatch | Messy Messy Messy

    Reality TV & Soaps Rewatch | Messy Messy Messy

    Though Paige (@thoughtsbypaige) is gone this week, the rest of the reality TV and soaps rewatch crew has returned. Join Chels (@Chels725), Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Eoin (@EoinDaily) as they recap their favorite unscripted and scripted dramas. The group talks about The Traitors first and laments how the remaining Traitors are playing a poor and messy game (and how the Faithfuls are being pretty dumb). They also discuss how they want Boston Rob out of the game ASAP. The hosts then talk about how incredible season 17 of RuPaul’s Drag Race has been — specifically the cast’s chemistry.  They then talk about “RDR Live!” and pick which roles they personally would select and talk about how iconic The Golden Girls is. Over on the runway, the group breaks down the most exciting and most underwhelming looks. They then conclude talking about how Untucked felt like old-school Drag Race (complimentary).
