Natacia recommends: I just discovered a new podcast that I’m obsessed - Bruh Meets World where two Black dudes rewatch and discuss Boy Meets World - apparently they’ve been around since 2017 so I have SO MANY EPISODES TO BINGE (find them on instagram @bruhmeetsworld 
Lindsay recommends: I’ve been a little obsessed with Szechuan food recently. I want to recommend a good website that has some great recipes I’ve used when I don’t want to do take out: https://omnivorescookbook.com/ Highly recommend Maggie Zhu’s recipe for mapo tofu

This episode we’re watching a movie that made Lindsay sad to miss out on the teen anime goth geek era she could have had, if she had only seen SPIRITED AWAY when it came out originally. We’re making our way through several Miyazaki films this month, and Spirited Away is one of the best in our opinion. Join us for the excited chatter on this one! Also some BL show updates, and opinions on the writer’s strike, as well as the new Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and the Coronation. 
TIMELINE:
01m 17s Lindsay updates: podcast updates, life updates, BL shows I”m watching: Love Syndrome III, La Pluie, also the debate of BL vs Queer media.
23m 53s Natacia updates: life updates, Drama Corner: writer’s strike, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and some CWs, Billie Lourd at the Walk of Fame, Yellowjackets update, Love & Death thoughts, and some Coronation opinions.

The newest edition to the SCREAM franchise has arrived to brighten our gloomy winter days and we were ready to bring you this review. Even scared-y cat Lindsay was all in for this one. We come highly recommending the newest movie, and include a bit of chatter on the movies leading up to this one as well. Also tune in to our updates at the beginning, which are the whole reason these episodes are marked “explicit” because Lindsay is here to talk smut. Natacia also fills us in on all the Oscars drama, and shares thoughts on The Last of Us (with minimal spoilers), The Mandalorian, and the yet to be released series, The Acolyte.
