Harry and Meghan: Escaping the Palace

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Just as Lifetime has a mandate from God or some one to make television bioepics about the Royal Family, we have a mandate from Podcasts to cover them, so here we all are for this unhinged moment in television and world history: Harry and Meghan Escaping the Palace. We will not be silent or silenced on our thoughts about this film, the cosumting, or the bronzer crimes.

HGTV Design Star Next Generation

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 22:00:00 -0400

We're coming to you late but once you see how much content we crammed into this episode you'll understand why. This week we thought we were bringing you an episode about the reboot of the early aught's classic, HGTV Design Star, but really what we ended up bringing you was almost 90 minutes of our white hot fury. We joked before recording that we'd have the show's run time of complaints, and we concluded that one can be petty and kind, and we hope we were able to strike the balance while still approaching the content with the level of curiosity demanded by Ted Lasso (spoiler alert: it was challenging).

It's Complicated

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 06:00:00 -0500

Have you ever wondered what it would be like for Alec Baldwin to expose himself to Steve Martin on webcam? Well have we got a film for you! This week we're resisting RomComducation with It's Complicated which brought up a lot of beef about kitchens, kitchen renovations, kitchen size, kitchen storage, dream kitchens, and John Krasinski. Also in breaking news we reveal the true identity of QAnon?

Pilot Palooza 2020

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 06:00:00 -0500

We're back with another one of our favorite annual traditions, Pilot Palooza! This year we tried out a new format and it SLAPS. We're bringing you Search Party, The Undoing, The Flight Attendant, The Queens Gambit, Ted Lasso, and Bridgerton. Listen to find out who the winner was and what height we think will dominate the year's famous hot (or not) men. Thanks for helping us get to another podcastiversary!

The 2020 Really F*cking Good Television Award Show for Nice People Only

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0500

It's a wonderful feeling, feel the love in the room from the floor to the ceiling. It's that time again, The 2020 Really Fucking Good Television Award Show for Nice People Only is here. With the blessings from above, we send you our love for all of the television we watched in 2020 (and we do mean all 1000 episodes that Kelsey very casually watched). Do note, there was an audio issue with Kelsey's track that we can't explain or fix but we thought this episode was magical enough to preserve it in its current form.

Holidate and Happiest Season

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 22:00:00 -0500

We made it 3 episodes into Hatewatch Holiday before we had to argue about letting Hallmark Fuck (guys, these aren't even Hallmark movies????). We've got hot takes on Streaming search tools, Emma Roberts and Kristen Stewart, a snappy new name for Quarantine Quorner, and a very important new submission to the Christmas Movie Cannon (listen to find out what movie we want you to watch instead of Holidate).

The Crown Season 4

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 13:00:00 -0500

Like Princess Margaret arriving for an official function fashionably late, fabulously drunk, and with no fucks to give, we are rolling up in your podcast feeds with our regular Tuesday episode on...........Saturday. Something something holidays, something something technical difficulties, listen: some of us were busy crafting, watching Princess Diana documentaries, listening to Princess Diana podcasts, and otherwise gossiping about Prince Charles, which cut into editing time. Anyway, we're here to talk about the Crown and somehow ended up talking more about the mask wearing habits of mid level network sitcoms.

Outlander Has Wronged Us

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 22:00:00 -0500

It's been a while since we've complained, so we're coming in hot with a gamified format for filing our grievances. It's Kirstie's first Draft style event, and we are drafting Ways Outlander Has Wronged Us. If you're coming to this episode to agree with us about Outlander takes you will likely be disappointed. Additional updates this week include strong stances on supermarket themed television and a continued plea for any and all information about SMS for Dich/Text For You/Text for Dick?

Ozark

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 23:00:00 -0400

This week is about things we hate such as turnip prices, mediocre white men, blue filter, Jason Bateman's self important standing, Jason Bateman's height, Jason Bateman, and the Netflix original, Ozark. We put our longstanding policy of No Ozark to the test and it turns out we were correct. Spoiler alert, the content sucks and you can't see any of it. Laws of liquidity give us $8 million now.

Inside the Episode

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 07 May 2020 16:45:00 -0400

This week, we're bringing the energy of an overconfident showrunner in a 3 minute postshow featurette with a topic we're fondly calling Inside the Dick. We present some groundbreaking theories including: audiences are smart, clip shows right after episodes are dumb, and maybe certain men should be less smug. This episode isn't an Outlander episode, but it's also not NOT and Outlander episode. Please enjoy, please stay home, and please tell us what you're watching so we can mention it in our new segment, Kirstie and Kelsey's Kuarantine Korner! --> @hatewatchwithus

Schitt's Creek: The Final Season

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 15:00:00 -0400

We are coming to you from The Great Quarantine of 2020 to talk about a very good thing that happened - the final season of Schitt's Creek! We've got lots of thoughts on character development, TV weddings, narrative arcs, and costume choices. We would also like to advise you against both purchasing a home without the consent of your partner, and singing, in general, at any time. Hopefully you, too, enjoyed this happy ending!

William & Kate: The Movie(s)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What happens when you come to recording night to discuss one film, but the universe delivers you a different mission? Is it destiny? Kind of like when you arrive to your first day of university and you bump into your future wife, who happens to have a life size poster of you on her wall? Today at Hatewatch, we are here to discuss the age-old questions, Who are they? and What is this?, as we watch not one but two(!) made for TV movies about the love story of Prince William & Kate Middleton. This episode features all of your favorites, including Kirstie and Kelsey Google A Thing, Hot or Tall, and requisite judgment towards Some Members of the Royal Family. If you know who any of these people are, please let us know via a review or tweet us at @hatewatchwithus!

9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lonestar

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 05:00:00 -0400

911, what's your emergency? Uhhh....we've just watched the 9-1-1 franchise and we have THOUGHTS. We're coming in hot with toilet babies, Rob Lowe's journey of self discovery and skin care routine, a shocking number of jokes about the Google Campus, and plenty of white saviorism.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 11:00:00 -0400

All crew all crew! Our preference sheet includes bad reality TV about boat crews so that means we MUST discuss Below Deck Sailing Yacht immediately. The thing about sailing is that it's different than yachting, and it's hard to say who spends more time on that distinction, the producers or us. Below Deck Sailing Yacht has problematic chefs, problematic chief stews, problematic crew couples, and problematic third wheel captain dads, so buckle up for a wild ride as we cut the engines and raise the sails!

Battle of the Blades and Spinning Out

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 06:00:00 -0400

We've got a custom cocktail of television for you this week: add one part Canadian skating spirit, one part Netflix What Have You Done, a dash of 90s figure skating opinions, and garnish with one brief husband cameo. This week we're bringing you the Canadian ratings juggernaut, Battle of the Blades, and the Netflix original, Spinning Out. Come for the acid wash denim ice dancing costumes, stay for shoe shopping plot twist.

The 2019 Really F*cking Good Television Award Show For Nice People Only

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:00:00 -0500

It's Award Season, and that means it's time for the 2019 Really Fucking Good Television Award Show For Nice People Only, and we are bringing BIG MEGXIT ENERGY to the party this year. These are complicated matters that will take time to work through, and here we are working through them together to bring you our wildest rides, favorite canadians, Li'l Hygge's Knitting Corner, and all your other favorite awards categories.

We understand your desire to take a different approach to podcast coverage of #Megxit, but these are complicated matters and only we are taking the time to work through them, here, together, with our Sad Boi Sex Lions.

A Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby and Christmas in Rome

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 15:00:00 -0500

We're taking a Christmas journey to two Europes, both of which are based in a reality so otherworldly, Candace Cameron-Bure remains our only tether to life here on Earth. First, we journey to Rome to catch up with our old friend Lacey in the Hallmark Original, Christmas in Rome. It's another Christmas, and another jockish businessman who only knows spreadsheets and overtime, but luckily Lacey is there to help him knead bread, however questionable the technique. Then we head to Aldovia to reunite with Queen Amber, in A Christmas Prince 3: The Trilogy We Never Asked For. I'm sorry, :The Royal Baby. We're bringing the hot takes on birth plans, contractions, paint rollers, feminism, and the naming conventions of fictional countries. With the Hatewatch Holidays winding down, it's time to start looking ahead to two of our favorite annual traditions, The Really Fucking Good Television Award Show For Nice People Only, and Pilot Palooza.

Merry Happy Whatever and Wrap Battle

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 04:00:00 -0500

It's the kickoff to Hatewatch Holidays and we're doing our best to get into the holiday spirit by knocking out some very un-merry content from the jump. First we reunite with Kelsey's One True Dad and Kirstie's new Problematic Uncle, Dennis Quaid, in the Netflix Christmas show Merry Happy Whatever. We get to relive all the highlight of moments in television like Last Man Standing and Everybody Loves Raymond and Dennis Quaid's relationship with much younger women and the patriarchy. Then we are discussing the Freeform reality show Wrap Battle. Join us in rapidly wrapping this pilot (see what we did there?) and exploring some reality tv deep state conspiracy theories. Stay tuned, there is lots for Christmas Coverage to come!

Holiday in the Wild

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 05:00:00 -0500

We are diving in to our 2019 Holiday Hatewatch coverage with old friend Rob Lowe, and new friend Not-Katie-Holmes, in the Netflix Holiday Classic Holiday in the Wild. We've got elephants, we've got white saviors, we've got African Language, and did we mention the elephants? Come for Netflix's attempted charity tax write off, stay to MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF. Also, please let us know if you genuinely know who we can donate to to help the elephants. Happy Holidays!

Derry Girls

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 02:00:00 -0500

Jesus Wept! It only took 2 months but Kirstie has finally watched a Derry Girls and we are finally here to tell you how much we loved it. We explore feelings about 90s music, lingo, character proxies, and these our modern times. Come for the feels, stay to find out whether or not this show qualifies for this year's Really Fucking Good Television Award Show for Nice People Only. This episode's letter writing campaigns are: 1. More shows with 22 minute episodes and 6 episode seasons, 2. Start saying Fuck-A-Doodle-Doo, 3. Make all the other Thought Bubble Audio hosts watch Score: A Hockey Musical.

Chris Columbus Day: Adventures in Babysitting and Harry Potter

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:00:00 -0400

It's everyone's favorite problematic holiday, Chris Columbus Day! Instead of celebrating the historical figure who did the genocide across North America, we are celebrating the casual racism of children's film director Chris Columbus. This year we are discussing the film Adventures in Babysitting, and listeners, we are deeply concerned. Then, it's time for us to circle back on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, one of the great films of 2001. We take this opportunity to explore many of the other great films of 2001 and their standing against Harry Potter. Find out how we feel about the Thumbs from Spy Kids, and if you have any information regarding the not 2001 film Ella Enchanted, please find us on Twitter @hatewatchwithus.

Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club: Make Each Other Watch A Hatewatch Part 2

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 22:00:00 -0400

We're back (on schedule!) for Part 2 of our regrettable series, Make Each Other Watch A Hatewatch. This week, Kelsey has a moral crisis about watching TV on a laptop as we discuss the MTV series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club. We're so traumatized by the whole thing that we might buy a whole beach in Mykonos. So join us for hot Annie James takes, Lohan Group empire business updates, and ultimately more discussions of Below Deck Mediterranean. And remember, if you want to be our brand ambassador, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

Spartacus: Make Each Other Watch A Hatewatch Part 1

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 06:00:00 -0400

In celebration of International Podcast Day (ish), we officially return from our third unexpected hiatus this year with the 10 hour movie that is the Great Poop Tub Flood of 2019. We are Tits Out At The Colosseum for our new two-part format, Make Each Other Watch A Hatewatch. Part 1 is the Starz show Spartacus. There's very little clothing, a lot of fighting, and everyone is staying very close to everyone's thighs. We have no idea who this show is for, but we do know they're doing a lot of it. Tune in next week for Part 2 and find out who hated their lives more (spoiler alert: it was the cohost shouting over 3 industrial sized fans and a dehumidifier while it was 106 degrees in the studio!!!).

Jane the Virgin: The Finale Bind Off

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 04:00:00 -0400

Back to School, Back to Podcast, that's what we always say! We're back from our Second Annual Impromptu Summer Hiatus and we've got hot takes about seasonal beverages as well as the last season of Jane the Virgin. We're totally fine, and everything is fine this episode. We're fine with being done dirty by the format, we're fine with all the crying we did or did not do, and we're totally fine with everything we've ever felt along the way. IT'S DEFINITELY ALL FINE GUYS.

Eurovision 2019

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 30 May 2019 21:00:00 -0400

It's that time of year again! That's right folks, Eurovision returned, and despite some streaming dilemmas we persevered to bring you some spicy hot Europop content. Speaking of spicy hot, we kick off with some neat oven safety tips, courtesy of Eurovision 2018. We don't condone drinking games, but if one were to play one, we might suggest they drink every time we call a performance "wild" this year. We bring you our favorites, our least favorites, and some side conversations about mens fashion, geography, and Kirstie's life on the rails. Check out some of our top performances at the links below, and remember, as they say in San Marino: Be a hero. Be the rainbow.

Game of Themes

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 21:00:00 -0400

As a member of society, you may or may not be subject to this dark time in television, as Game of Thrones is back on television and winter is here. We are dutifully recapping Game of Thrones over at our other podcast, Our Watch Has Ended, but in the interest of Alternative Content, we are here today to recommend content that scratches Game of Thrones' various itches. We cover themes such as Strong Sexual Content, Violence, House/Palace Intrigue, Unlikable Characters, and more! Find out which show we labled as the Hatewatch Superbowl, see how we justify talking about our faves for the millionth time in a new context, listen to Kirstie and Kelsey congratulate each other repeatedly for accomplishing the goal of episode format, and revel in the moment when Kirstie has to tell Kelsey she was right. From Westeros to Aldovia, there's some beef stew for everyone in this episode y'all.

Our Watch Has Ended: The First Official Episode, Bleed for the Brands

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 21:00:00 -0400

It's the first NEW episode of our NEW PODCAST, Our Watch Has Ended: A Game Of Thrones Hatewatch. You can subscribe at our new feed by searching for Our Watch Has Ended anywhere you find podcasts! Subscribe there for weekly episodes all through season 8!

It's been two years, but we are back at it with our favorite garbage show! Don't gaslight us about great houses, it's been a long time! As the hype builds, so do the brand partnerships, so we wanted to take a minute to talk about some of the crazy ways HBO has licensed Game of Thrones to trick you into BLEEDING FOR THE BRANDS. We discuss Oreo, Shake Shack, the American Red Cross, Mountain Dew, Urban Decay, Love Pop, Rolling Pins, Johnny Walker, and Spotify. How many houses are there? How do you fit a house on a cookie? Are we in Snowdonia? We are back on our bullshit, bringing the HOT LOOKS and HOT TAKES and dear god are we ready for this season to be over. Use the hashtag #hatewatchGOT to watch along with us! This episode is only about licensing deals and has no spoilers (in theory, but who knows?)

Jane the Virgin and Abby's

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:00:00 -0400

This week we are two hosts who are feeling confident about what we have prepared for you: two shows that have names, a show that gives us feelings and a show that doesn't, and a rundown of the ways our heros have failed us. We watched Jane the Virgin and the new Mike Schur show Abby's. We've got an episode of our Everwood Podcast Within the Podcast, a lot to say about narrative stakes, and some broad and varied hot takes on television pilots.

Jane the Virgin spoilers end around 37-38 minutes.

Don't forget to subscribe to our new podcast, Our Watch Has Ended, for all of your Game of Thrones content!

Return to Cottage Life UK: Cabins in the Wild and House Doctor

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 07:30:00 -0400

We're revisiting our favorite network in our hearts this week and have found some gems from Netflix's selection of Cottage Life UK content. However, we don't visit Netflix without generating a few gripes, and we have A LOT OF THEM because Netflix has unjustly removed Canadian Cottage Life from their offering. Once we get over our feelings about that (and begin our letter writing campaign), we meet our new friends Dick Strawbridge and Willie Fedora over at Cabins in the Wild. This segment includes Dragon themed cabins, live reports from Snowdonia National Park, and everybody's favorite time - Kirstie and Kelsey google some things about pioneer life. Then we move on to House Doctor (how can I help?), where we meet yet another bag of dicks, Grumpy Old Dickie. We learn a lot about rooms with a point of view and our point of view is that this show is a disaster. This episode wraps up with a discussion of the maple syrup grading system, so don't miss that. Happy sugaring season, y'all!

Don't forget to check out our new Game of Thrones recap podcast, Our Watch Has Ended, wherever you're listening to this podcast!

Legends of Tomorrow and Everwood

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 12:00:00 -0500

Thanks to a listener suggestion, we spend this week's episode down a rabbit hole known as the WB Then and Now, Pilot Palooza Bonus Round, Make Kirstie Watch An Everwood, or The Greg Berlanti Factor. We bring you in depth reporting such as show runner horoscopes, Comics vs RomComs, and Legends of Eurovision. Kirstie says "tonality" a lot so you know it has to be good! Then we finally talk about Kelsey's heart and soul, Everwood. Doc Brown comes to comfort us, and we sling some Hot Hallmark Takes and argue about Schitt's Creek. Like any small town, this episode has a lot of heart. Stay tuned for an announcement about our new project, pending the resolution of our endless struggle against A Major Podcast Distributer!

Sweet Home Alabama and Sitcom Living Rooms

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 27 Feb 2019 22:00:00 -0500

It's a real grab bag of hatewatch nostalgia this week! Fate leads us to revisit Kirstie's "favorite romcom of all time," Sweet Home Alabama, and we have some thoughts about low rise flare jeans and jokes that make us uncomfortable in 2019. After a brief discussion about novelty Instagram belts we have a chat about the living rooms of sitcoms, because nobody likes a high end finish like Hatewatch With Us. Come for True American, the safety version, stay for... a teaser of our new side project? Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and A Winter Princess

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 07:00:00 -0500

Before we begin this episode, let's take a moment to greet the podcast home. You know what that means: it's finally time to talk Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. Spark joy with us on this adventure as Kirstie spends the entire segment masterfully avoiding admitting that she's wrong about how many steps there are in the KonMari method. Then we move on to kimono, which is actually just the Hallmark Channel. We discovered A Winter Princess (Winter for Princess? The Winter of Princess?) and we are here to tell you that it is a delight. Hallmark really phones it in in the wake of Hallmark Christmas, giving us the gift of our favorite fake European country name of all time. So tune in for that big reveal, and if it sparks joy for you, consider entering us in the Sam Heughan Charity Crossfit contest! https://www.omaze.com/experiences/sam-heughan-date-night

Pilot Palooza 2018

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 21:00:00 -0500

It's that time of year where we look at the television landscape, put on our best White Savior Doctor lab coats and say, "How can I help?" We entered our third Pilot Palooza with a lot of hopes and dreams, and as it turned out nothing was our shit. After getting our squirrel on with this year's batch of shows, we may just need a montage to Coldplay's Fix You or a time machine. We watched New Amsterdam, Timeless, Glow, Sharp Objects, Vida, Killing Eve, and checked in briefly with Last Man Standing, play a quick round of Hot Or Tall, talk about a lot of other shows we would have rather been watching that weren't on the list, and nominate this year's Downward Dog because as always our heros have failed us. Let us know if there are any pilots we missed in 2018, and let us know throughout 2019 what shows you'll want us to watch! If you liked Pilot Palooza you still have two more weeks to enter us in the Sam Heughan Charity Crossfit Contest! https://www.omaze.com/experiences/sam-heughan-date-night

Bind Off: Outlander Season 4

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Sun, 27 Jan 2019 22:00:00 -0500

Like the mustache on a young hero's face or the thunder in one's pants, we have arrived once again at the end of another season of Outlander. Join us as we trade our gloats and gripes for the season and try to come to terms with challenging ideas such as actual human emotions, facial expressions, drawing, and sad tent sex. Joy was sparked, rage was raged, and the Strong Sexual Content was the Actually Just Normal Feelings We Felt About Sam Heughan's Face along the way. If you want to see us follow up on the very important Outlander thesis presented in this episode, enter us in the Sam Heughan Charity Crossfit Contest this holiday season: https://www.omaze.com/experiences/sam-heughan-date-night

Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe and A Shoe Addict's Christmas

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 09:00:00 -0500

It's our last installment of Hatewatch Hallmark before moving on to the endless bounty of off-brand Christmas movies, so we are coming in hot this week. We start with the sequel to our Outlander Store Dot Com special: A Novice's Guide to Destiny Dice and honestly we feel this should have been its own segment because it had way more to offer than either of the films we watched. We then move on to Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe where we had a lot of questions about our stock options next fiscal year. Before long we are visited by the Ghost of Jean Smart Past, Future, and Present, and were transported to A Shoe Addict's Christmas where Kelsey bestowed upon us the gift of her Candance impression and ERHMERHGERD did we dig up an old ass meme. If you too would like to redo your past in answer to your calling from God by your guardian angel Jean Smart, enter us in the Sam Heughan Charity Crossfit Contest this holiday season: https://www.omaze.com/experiences/sam-heughan-date-night

It's #HatewatchHallmark Vermont week! We watch Road to Christmas, where Kirstie learns how to identify a Chad Michael Murray in the wild, then it's like Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! all over again as we revisit our favorite town with an inexplicable Christmas theme in Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa. Ok, it's not quite as good as Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!, but what could be? We chat about the specific boundaries we want Hallmark to push, Kirstie references male romantic leads as "the guy... the love guy," and we even get some good old fashioned tchotchke ponzi schemes. If you're reading this, Santa, consider this our letter, and enter us in the Sam Heughan Charity Crossfit Contest this holiday season: https://www.omaze.com/experiences/sam-heughan-date-night

Christmas At Pemberley Manor and Princess Switch

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 12:00:00 -0500

Its the most wonderful time of the year, #HatewatchHallmark 2018! We are kicking off the season with Hallmark's Christmas at Pemberley Manor, which features a breakdown of Hallmark's many adaptive failures of classic literature, a few jokes at the expense of Gen Z, the rollout of our new Christmas Hatewatch Bingo and plenty of printed emails. Then we move on to our favorite segment-within-a-segment with Netflix, What Have You Done? This time, Netflix has done A Princess Switch (formerly a Christmas Switch), and we travel to Belgragenovaldovia to shout about identity theft, transference, pureeing fruit, and bad accents. Come for the Parent Trap references, stay for the Generic Fictional European Country Eurovision Team draft picks. Also, if you like the show, don't forget to enter us in the Sam Heughan Charity Crossfit Contest! 25 entries will start a printed-email letter writing campaign to Hallmark and/or the creation of the Generic Fictional European Country Name Generator!

Hallmark Christmas Preview and Little Italy

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 21:00:00 -0400

This week's episode is a testiment to women who have it all and the compromises they have to make, such as finding the time to record an entire episode in one sitting. In our first recording session we bring you your favorite segment, Listen to Kirstie and Kelsey Google, and react in real time to the 2018 Hallmark Christmas movie lineup. There are several hot titles we're looking forward to including apperances from at least one Candace. In our second recording, we bring you the Film That Was promised: Little Italy. We beg you, do not watch this movie but do listen to this segment because we've got bespoke rooftop garden lamps, organic pizza dreams, taking shots while playing sexy rain soccer, wet armpit make outs, The Best Pizza Competition, and lots of premade dough. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Hatewatch Holiday: COLUMBUS DAY 2018

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 22:00:00 -0400

It's time for one of our favorite Hatewatch Holidays: Christopher Columbus Day! We carry on the Hatewatch tradition of spending some time with the first two Harry Potter films. This year it's Chamber of Secrets and while we have a lot of gripes about the adaptive choices Chris Columbus made, it turned out we had a lot of gripes with JK Rowling, Ginny Weasley, and the romcoms our generation was promised. Then we discuss the 1995 film Nine Months, a nice and accidental tie in from recent events from Hatewatch Nation. Chris Columbus gets back on his bullshit, Hugh Grant is a dweeb, and y'all get the birth story you never asked for. After all, the big childbirth scene is every actresses dream??? The plot really thickens when we find cause to give thanks to Chris Columbus, which brings a whole new meaning to Columbus Day.

Return from Hiatus and Netflix, What Have You Done?

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:00:00 -0400

This week we are taking you through the hole in the fabric of space-time, back 5 weeks to our first attempt at returning from hiatus. It was a simpler time when Kirstie was getting a lot less sleep and watching a lot more TV, and Kelsey was living her best RomCom life. First we discussed all the TV Kirstie watched on maternity leave, including the gringiness of 90s sitcoms, the argument for the 30 minute sitcom as a format, and Kirstie admitting she was right to lose the great Brooklyn 99 Fight of 2018. Then we have a rare opportunity to put a positive spin on everyone's favorite segment, Netflix, What Have You Done? With a pep in our step and sheer delight in our mics, we review the Netflix RomCom To All The Boys I loved Before, as well as praising the platform for their contributions to the RomCom Renaissance. For the second week in a row, we're glad to be back!

Honestly, we could have probably stayed on hiatus for this one. Then we're bringing you Ready Player One in all its white-male-Star-Wars-Prequels-CGI mediocrity. We have a drinking game and complaints aplenty. Did you miss us? Cuz we sure missed you more than we would have missed this movie had it never been made.

Arrested Development and Little Italy

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 19:00:00 -0400

Back when we recorded this, we were so relevant and ready for our cultural moment. But then the internet betrayed us and thus we were lost to time much like the two time-warping topics we have for you this week. First, we talk about the new season of Arrested Development, our feelings about mid-2000s political satire, and we put all the men in rice. Then, we take a deep dive into the highly anticipated new romcom, Little Italy, staring Emma Roberts and notorious Anti-Sand advocate Hayden Christensen. We write some off-season hallmark fanfiction, explore Hayden Christensen's biography and escape to the farm.

Nerducation Redeux: Kelsey Watched A Star War

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 20:00:00 -0400

There's another Star War in theaters which means its time for another Hatewatch. This time its Kelsey who DELIGHTEDLY takes one for the team by seeing SOLO: A Star Wars Story and bringing back a whole universe of feelings, thesis ideas, and attractive disasters. Listen as she makes bold proclomations about space hijinx, the RomCom, space sex, Han Solo Lite, Sam Heughan in Space, and declares yet another unpopular Star War as HER Star War. We're also sure to rehash old favorites like Kelsey Wants Everyone To Bone, some cheap digs at the Daves, shipflags and Outlander feels. Whether or not this is YOUR Star War, it will be your hatewatch.

Netflix, What Have You Done: When We First Met and Series of Unfortunate Events

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 22:00:00 -0400

The theme of this episode is Netflix, What Have You Done? But it also could have been Soda, What Have You Done? Sweet Tea, What Have You Done? IMDB Pro, What Have You Done? We BYOB two Netflix originals. Kelsey watched the Netflix Original RomCom When We First Met and her algorithms will never be the same. We learn about IMDB and all the different ways you can tag panties. Then, Kirstie reveals a shocking plot twist: Netflix, What Have You Done can have positive connotations! We discuss the Series of Unfortunate Events, Kirstie's unbridled joy over television adaptations and dark stories for children. It's a bumpy episode for Netflix, Kirstie's knowledge of actor's names, movies of the mid 2000s and our understanding of the fundamental question, Netflix, What Have You Done?

If you’ve ever wondered how long it takes to travel the King’s Road by horse, highlander, or dragon, or if you’d like to know the difference between seas and oceans, look no further than this, our final episode of the Outlander Omnibus! That’s right folks, it’s finally time to debate the differences between Outlander and Game of Thrones (multitudes rejoice!). Highlights include The Case of the Missing Thirsty Shoulder Footage, How to Make a Villain 101, and a classic Kirstie Feelings Journey™. If you also think Game of Thrones is garbage, come at us in our Twitter mentions @hatewatchwithus!

Secret Shopper and Weekend Aristocrats

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 08:00:00 -0400

This week we bring you a gift of pure delight. Two shows full of field trips, lessons learned, and throwbacks to other classic hatewatches. We call this, "Cottage Life, UK". First, we bring you Mary Portus, Secret Shopper, where we visit a bridal shop and eat some coleslaw sandwiches. Kelsey finds out trains exist, Mary Portus' origin story is revealed, Kirstie learns vocabulary and we find ourselves trying to navigate some messily told character stories. Then we transition to Weekend Aristocrats, a show about rich white men and their endless fear of plebs. Kelsey gets to relive the show vicariously through this episode, from peacocks to divorces. Come for the Halloween, stay for the tough conversations about socioeconomic inequality and generational aristocracy.

Outlander Omnibus: Je Suis Prest for the Men of Outlander

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 08:00:00 -0400

Something strange happened with this episode, as if it fell through the stones at Cragh na dun and got lost for a few days before finding its way back to these, our modern times. Or at least that’s the story we’re going with to explain why this episode is late. This time on the Outlander Omnibus, we’re talking MEN, specifically men we want to bone, more specifically, Jamie. We spend some time objectifying everybody’s favorite fantasy husband, then we expand to discuss the rest of Outlander’s men. Kirstie has some latent feelings about turtlenecks again, and we wrap it all up with the legendary Hatewatch segment, listen to us Google a thing. JE SUIS PREST!

Reality TV BYOB and The Oscars...Kind Of

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 21:00:00 -0400

Nothing says content rut like forgetting what both of your segments were and deciding on them by accident. This week we're bringing back a good old fashion BYOB with Glam Masters and Skin Wars. We discuss weird reality TV tropes, compare elimination techniques, and gush about Great British Bake Off. Then we bring you a segment a week behind popular culture, and discuss our feelings about this year's Oscars. Specifically, why we didn't watch this year's Oscars and why we aren't more interested in movies in general. Kirstie and Kelsey go on a first date, we go down memory lane with some of our best childhood field trips, and we meet our Third Chair. It's a big, silly episode and we're not mad about it.

Buy Herself and Christmas Festival of Ice

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 21:00:00 -0500

Get your JumpFunders ready friends because we're heading to The Capitol with some solo house hunters and some ice sculptures. And guess what - Kelsey wrote this whole description BUY HERSELF. First up this week, Sandra Rinomato and her pink tape measure introduce us to the Single Ladies Of Toronto™ and their $750k condo budgets, a true gift from HGTV Canada. Then, we head to Not New Hampshire to continue our #HatewatchHallmark tradition with Chrismas Festival of Ice. From high end finishes made of ice to Christmas boners, this movie truly has it all.

Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving and The Sweetest Christmas

Pass the cranberry sauce! We're having mashed potatoes! It's our Thanksgiving special and we're thankful for you! This week we're starting with an overview of all the Thanksgiving themed episodes, from Linda songs to Bob being a sad sack. Spoiler alert: both Kirstie and Kelsey end up singing and that's something for YOU to be thankful for. Then we begin what will be a 5 week Hatewatch Celebration of Hallmark Movies with The Sweetest Christmas. It's great, as long as you don't get any gumdrops in my garlic knots. We get distracted by the female gaze, Kelsey loves ginger snaps and Kirstie yells about exactly which Starbucks Syrups she has personal beef with. Also gingerbread happens in multitudes. Stay tuned for the next 5 weeks, because from now until New Years we are watching a Hallmark Movie a week!

Nerducation Part 3: Kirstie Wants Everyone To Stop Boning

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 18:00:00 -0500

A long time ago in a podcast far far away...... Episode 3, Kirstie Wants Everyone To Stop Boning. Kirstie and Kelsey have returned to their home hatewatch of Star Wars to rescue their friend Rebel Hot Pilot from the clutches of Kirstie's surprise Anti-Rom-Com attack, and Kelsey has no problems with everyone boning. Kirstie has a lot of feelings about DIY Jedi's, and eventually establishes that she and the Force just have different priorities. Kirstie and Kelsey are obsessed with Han Solo's rockin' bod and the Female Gaze. Kirstie's beef with the Force contains multitudes, but with all her blood magic she still manages to rise from the ashes as a Star Wars Fortune Teller, fortelling the arrival of the TV series. To round it all out, there are quotes from viral videos in 2003, an appearance from the Seatbelt Deputy and a discussion of the benefits of the five point harness, and an argument about knitting organization because brand game gotta stay strong.

Designated Survivor and The Writer's Strike

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 07 Nov 2017 01:00:00 -0500

This episode stands as a Monument to the sheer force of the human spirit as we overcome our various afflictions to bring you some kind of shit related to Designated Survivor using the Lucas Method of Hatewatch. Break out your hoody and your Warby Parkers and sit back as we get to know some friends such as Keither Suferland, some Coiffed Young Sirs, and the Everyshow's Aarons and Collins. Kelsey doesn't know the Capitol Building, and everything comes to a grinding halt when we discover Earmapping. The high end finishes really increased the value of this Hatewatch. Then, we pivot to celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the 2007 Writer's Strike. We've got the oral history of the Strike, as well as an overview of all the shows we loved and how they were impacted. Come for the historical context, stay for the history of how WE ended it. Things were going well until Kelsey's great Dinner Party reveal, at which point everything comes to a grinding, petty halt. You, dear listener, have the power to be on the right side of The Office history. Which path do you choose?

Guys, don't even get us started on the history of Trick or Treating. We are in a very Spooo0o00o0o0o0o0oooo0000py mood for this, our first Hallo00oo0o0o0o0oooweeen special. We've got the ghosts of bad costumes, trick or treat horror stories, and two ~Spirited~! sitcoms (see what we did there?). First up is Ghosted, where we explore just how few fucks we give about the paranormal or any other part of this shows premise. Then, we try out a new segment in which we explore recurring Very Special Seasonal Episodes of our favorite TV shows. This time we watched the Halloween episodes of Brooklyn Nine Nine and had some feelings about friendship, Michael Schur proposals, and workplace hijinx. Keep it spoo00o0o0oo0o000ooooopy out there, Halloween friends!

Norsemen and Reno My Reno

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 14:00:00 -0400

This week we are channeling the full spirit of Li'l Hygge with two shows that are members of Li'l Hygge's Knitting Corner. We start with the Netflix original, Norsemen, which is equal parts Game of Thrones, Monty Python, and poop. We apologize. Then, we cover a Netflix offering from our neighbors to the north, Reno My Reno from the Cottage Life Network. As our second Hatewatch from the Cottage Life Network, Reno My Reno starts off as your typical hatewatch, but quickly devolves into Kirstie and Kelsey doing some live, on-air investigative journalism to learn more about this scrappy network. We delve deep into Pinterest, the Cottage Life Convention, and all four of their featured shows. Kelsey then insults Kirstie's motherland, and we all come out of it about as well as the emasculated home owners at the end of their cottage renos.

Nerducation: Episode 2 George Takes the Wheel

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 11:00:00 -0400

A long time ago, in a podcast far far away.... Episode 2, George Takes the Wheel. The greedy Trade Federation has stopped all haircuts in all the films of 2005, making this the Year Without the Haircut for jedis, wizards, and elves alike. Over 20,000 Jedi Blood Bacteria have threatened to leave the podcast under the leadership of Anakin Skywalker and Jonah Ryan's 2020 presidential bid. There are heros on both sides somehow inexplicably. Jedi Blood Magic has swept into the Republic in search of the Three Eyed Emo, Anakin Skywalker, who has taken time away from his presidential campaign to finish his degree from the DanRad School of Acting. While the congress endlessly debates this distressing turn of events, all of the women leave the galaxy with their OBGYNs, leaving Natalie Portman alone with nothing but George Lucas and a bad trip to the beach. Kirstie and George Lucas both have burning questions which were only resolved when George Ask Jeeved. Star Wars Produce are returning to the set to cast their final vote on just how stupid George Lucas really thinks the American public has been at various points in film and food history.

Join Kirstie, Kelsey and her bread starter in celebrating the second most douchiest Chris Columbus we know by covering two of his cinematic masterpeices, Harry Potter and Home Alone. We've got debates such as whether or not Susan Bones had a speaking role, fucking flutes, naive newborn babies on all sides, two of the Three G's of the DanRad School of Acting, and a receptionist named Dambledoor.

Nerducation: Make Kirstie Watch A Star War, Part 1

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 14:00:00 -0400

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away......Episode 1, Make Kirstie Watch A Star War. It is a time of cultural awakening. Kirstie admits that she has never seen A Star War, and Kelsey must guide her through the Original Trilogy. Danger lurks in the stars above in the form of fennel, poorly thought-out government infrastructure, questionable bronzer, and trash compactors. While the Congress of Hatewatch endlessly debates the alarming turn of events during the Trivia portion, listeners are reveling in Kirstie's naivety. Little do listeners know, the Galactic Hatewatch Empire has secretly begun construction on parts two and three of this ongoing series, each episode more powerful in the Meaning of Hatewatch than the last.

Thunderpants and The Wine Show

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 12:00:00 -0400

This week is apparently all about short British men. First, we maybe get a little too close to rules 34 and 36 of the internet with Rupert Grint's most famous cinematic masterpeice, Thunderpants. We watched a two hour fart joke so we could spend a half hour using fart jokes to make fun of people who think fart jokes are funny. Really, we were just jealous we didn't fart ourselves into space. Kelsey then takes some safari style polaroids, and we transition into talking about The Wine Show. Find out who our favorite Wine Matthew's are, learn more about wine gadgets, hear our desperate plea for wine recomendations, and add this to your list of Li'l Hygge Approved Television.

LOOK INTO MY EYES. I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. We are in the same place at the same time for the same reason! That's right, Kirstie and Kelsey finally got the opportunity to record in the same room and it went......about as well as you'd expect. For our A Segment we try lots of things so you don't have to, namely Facebook Watch but also, Maple Bacon Potato Chips. For our B segment, we decided the time had come to watch two formative texts from Kirstie and Kelsey's lives. We discuss That Thing You Do and Adventureland, and learn a lot about each other, turtlenecks, Kristin Stewart, drummers, summer jobs, the 80s, and accidental sexual awakening.

What Fresh Hell Is This and Qwikster Day

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 23:00:00 -0400

This week we literally had to fight off a curse which included coffee spills, jacked up audio, and a mid-recording spider ambush in order to bring you this glorious content. We've got our Fall Tv Preview, complete with the return of everyone's favorite game segment, What Fresh Hell is This???? We talk about the Military Industrial Television Complex, Young Sheldon, Super Magicians turned FBI Agents, single cam sitcoms, Reboots, and so much more. Spoiler alert, we're not happy about any of it. Then for our B segment, it's time for a Hatewatch Holiday: Qwikster Day. Announced on Sept 18th, 2011, Netflix made a life choice that they regretted and rectified by October 10th, 2011. Kelsey has had this day marked on her google calendar ever since. We chose to commemorate this mistake by watching the new Netflix Original: The Adventures of Bobby Draper. Sorry, I meant White Gold. We've got grown men peeing their pants and other stuff that helps us keep our explicit rating. Spoiler alert: We don't hate it as much as we should have. Mark your calendars for next year!

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 05 Sep 2017 16:45:00 -0400

We’re kicking things off this week with an exciting podcast update – you’re listening to the newest members of the Thought Bubble Audio network! Get super hype because we’ll tell you all about it. Then, it’s the same shit, different House Hunters, as we go head over lighthouses for the Canadian hit show “What’s For Sale? With A View.” Once we’ve had enough rose hip jelly for one hatewatch, we get nostalgic about our favorite simulator games from the early 2000’s, tackling the burning questions like ‘is Zoo Tycoon trashy or classy?’ Whether your Sims house had a View or a hellcloset, we’ve got you covered on this week’s episode.

Disney Channel Originals and Lies Pinterest Tells You

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 08:00:00 -0400

Burn Out Month continues as y'all work through Kirstie and Kelsey's pre-vacation recording backlog. We promise, we're back in full force next week. In an attempt to enjoy a pure Hatewatch, Kirstie and Kelsey try watching the Disney Channel Original Movies Cadet Kelly and Cowbelles. It goes exactly as well as you might expect, and we end up in a long wandering conversation trying to understand the True Meaning of Hatewatch. Then, we get in to all of the lies Pinterest tells us, from weddings to hand lettered pillows to watery one-pot recipes. It's an episode of Our Heros Have Failed Us, except with whatever Disney Channel and Pinterest are (because they're certainly not heros.)

Bind Off: Game of Thrones S7E7

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 02:00:00 -0400

We've had a lot of fun this season, from our discount liquor store wine to our discount liquor store plot. This Sunday, we're starting with the Li'l Finger News Bulletin. We include an important update on the Game of Thrones Fantasy League, have as many gripes as we found Dick Jokes, recap some sexy times and gues who will end up being Classroom Mom in Westeros. What's in store for next season? Who tf knows because next season won't air until 2017823098. Stay tuned though, because when the time comes for us all to come back to the same place at the same time, we will be ready to be here for the same purpose. Keep hashtagging #hatewatchgot in the meantime!

Podcast Admiration and Formative Media 2.0

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 15:00:00 -0400

Sometimes we're in a Chick-Fil-A in Nashua and we're like.....what's something we can talk about that we already do? So, we present to you our post-sweeps clipshow equivilant. First, we're talking about our favorite podcasts and SPOILER ALERT, we spend 25% of the segment just professing our love for Appointment Television (our OTP, One True Podcast and yeah guys, we did the math to the minute). We reassert our status as the Fourth Olsen Twin, Kirstie drops her superball, we learn about Kelsey's commuting habits and it's just a giant love fest. Then, we revisit last week's discussion about Formative Media with the media of our adolescent years. We've got tons of personal stories, a brief moment of excitement about Rocket Power, and many of the roots of our nerdery at any age.

Bind Off: Game of Thrones S7E6

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 00:00:00 -0400

We start this episode in Westeros Middle School and end this episode in a lizard uterus because all things in this show come full circle except for plot. It's the second to last episode of season 7 and it's tough to be 13 years old and running a kingdom during a zombie apocalypse. We've got all the hot gossip like Tyrion passing notes to Jon for Dany, Tormund trying to get Brienne to go to the dance with him, Li'l Finger stoking the fear of his li'l finger, and Westeros finally got a mall for everyone to hang out in! Also, Arya totally made it personal when she offended our knitting, so girl can take her silicon faces and shove them right up her Fossil briefcase. Good news though! The dick jokes are back, Kelsey is still looking for the RomCom and we have some quick updates on the fantasy teams. Join us next week for the FINAL EPISODE of the season and as always, live tweet with #hatewatchgot

Bonus Bind Off: Game of Thrones s7e4+5

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Sun, 20 Aug 2017 15:00:00 -0400

We're all here at the same time for the same purpose (aka, back from vacation), and we're so DICKON for the next episode of Game of Thrones that we decided it was time for some spicy hot surprise bonus content. We're binding off episodes 4 and 5 of Game of Thrones to cleanse ourselves in preparation for episode 6. We've got DICKon jokes, grammar jokes, gripes up the wazu, feelings about Inside the Episode, more Harry Potter crossovers, predictions, and a new boyband. Join us for live tweeting the episode using #hatewatchGOT.

Facebook TV and Formative Media

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 22:00:00 -0400

Whether or not anyone asked for it, Facebook is trying to be the rom com career woman of television and we’ve got some spicy hot content predictions coming at ya this week. From lonelygirl15 spinoffs to meta livestreaming to workplace comedies about Facebook for Work, the opportunities for Facebook Watch are endless with our buddy Zuck at the wheel. Then in part one of a two-part discussion, we take a look back at the formative media in our lives. While Kirstie gets hype about developmental psychology and media theories, we find out neat Hatewatch trivia like Kelsey’s consistent thirst for her childhood crush, Kirstie vs. Matt Damon circa 2002, and our collective Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing experiences. Also we brag about spending time together in person, which is exactly as compelling as it sounds.

Hatewatch Our Joy: The Big Sick and Jane the Virgin

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 10:00:00 -0400

If you're here for a hatewatch, we're offering ourselves up as tributes this week. You get to Hatewatch Kelsey's Joy and Hatewatch Kirstie's Feels in this double header as Kelsey BYOBs the new romantic comedy The Big Sick and we FINALLY get to discuss Jane the Virgin in all its glory (including season 3 spoilers, you've been warned). TL:DR, we really like these things and we just really really want you to like them too. In return, we give you gifts such as Kelsey reenacting movies, a primer of Kirstie's complicated relationship with Ray Romano, digs at House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Confederate and the RomCom badlands, and Kirstie getting lost in time and space. Find us on Twitter, because if the episode run time doesn't make it clear, we really want to talk to you about these stories more.

The Emmys and Moonlight in Vermont

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 15:00:00 -0400

So the Emmy nominations dropped and our feelings can best be summed up as.....meh??? We debrief our feelings about This Is Us, the number of repeat nominations, air our grievances about the VICIOUS SNUBS, and have nothing to say about several categories. Then, we take a field trip to the motherland and hate watch the Hallmark original movie. Moonlight in Vermont. You're going to learn a lot about syrup grading, maple trees, Montpelier, locally sourced ingredients, and New York real estate agents. Much like the oyster-mushroom-Meet-Cute, this segment is the beginning of something beautiful and unexpected, as Kelsey and Kirstie begin to fall deeply in love with Hallmark Original Movies.

Bind Off: Game of Thrones S7E3

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 00:00:00 -0400

It's Sunday so of course we're checking in on Game of Thrones. The season 6 writers are back with Choose-Your-Own-Adventure dick and grammar jokes, Kelsey Has A Gripe, Li'l Finger and his Li'l Finger pew pew pew their way through the Li'l Finger News Bulletin, Cersai scored at Mac on Free Lipstick Day, we have our first point in our Fantasy Draft, and Policy Wonks win the episode in both Dragonstone and Winterfell. Cross over universes this week included the Grand Designs tour of Dany's Bespoke Dragonstone Throne, Bran Potter and the Goblet of Winterfell, House of (Ice and Fire) Cards, and The Office. Sorry, there were no funny puns for that one. We also jumped aboard the #noconfederate bandwagon. We're off the next two weeks for vacation, but join us again for Episode 6 later in August! Regular episodes will continue on Tuesdays.

TV Friendships and TV Talk

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 22:00:00 -0400

We are overcome with friendship this week as we FINALLY discuss a topic near and dear to our hearts: Television Friendships. We cover some greatest hits like Anne and Leslie and partners who are cops (cops who are partners?), Kelsey does a Teddy impression, we wax poetic about tv friendships as instructional texts, Kelsey gets a dig in at Kirstie's cat and Kirstie gets a final dig in at Downward Dog. All of this then got us thinking about what happens when people disagree about television. What do we do when people watch bad television, people are wrong about television, people don't like our input on television, television becomes a proxy for these, our modern times or people are too attached to Game of Thrones? Honestly, we aren't actually sure. Join us for a long and wandering journey through our feelings, insecurity, and soul searching in an attempt to avoid crushing the spirits of other TV watchers. There's no right or wrong way to tell this story, except this is maybe wrong.

Bind Off: Game Of Thrones S7E2

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 00:00:00 -0400

We're back at it with episode two of season who the fuck knows! This week we got grammar lessons as plot devices, Dany and Tyrion gave us a Grand Designs cross over, Arya and Hot Pie gave us a Great British Bake Off cross over, we were treated to Varys Story Time, Arya met a Hyppogriff, The Greyjoys bought some fireworks at a New Hampshire liquor store and brought them on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, Theon recreated THAT scene from the Titanic, Sam is brewing polyjuice potion to cure Sir Friendzone's gonorrhea, and Jon looks like a bowl of vanilla ice cream. It's a high stakes game of sibling rivalries, stray pets, and alternative cross-over universes, complete with grammar lessons, dick-less jokes, and food that looks like STDs. Oh, and the Li'l Finger News Bulletin is coming in hot, perhaps foreshadowing the outcome of our Fantasy League, so get ready to place your bets on the House Snark's JV team!

Downward Dog Update and Narrators

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:00:00 -0400

Y'all gotta get as hype as Kelsey for this episode because the final verdict on season one of Downward Dog was released recently and it's time to put this show to bed. We talk about the last couple of episodes of the season and all the reasons your dog can't be you boyfriend, even if he is narrating your millennial life. Then we take everything we've learned from Downward Dog to discuss narrators: ones we like, important ones, literary devices, and the best Mad Men AU ever written. Dear listeners, please feel free to jump on that opportunity and send us the Peggy/Joan/Carrie Bradshaw narrator fan fiction of our dreams.

Bind Off: Game of Thrones S7E1

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 00:00:00 -0400

Winter has come for House Hatewatch. We rejoined our forlorn ensemble cast and our lost and lonely writers for yet another season of Game of Thrones. Though to be honest, we might have been watching Harry Potter. We weren't sure. We've got our Official Dick Joke Count, the Airing of Grievances, the Li'l Finger News Bulletin, and an introduction to our fantasy teams - House Snark and Valar Prestigious. Tune in every Sunday night for our 15 minute recaps and updates, and feel free to live tweet along with us using the hashtag #hatewatchGOT.

Game of Thrones Preview and RomComducation Part 5: THE FINALE

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 21:00:00 -0400

There's a show coming back to television on some network and we think we've maybe seen it before or it's important or something, so we're previewing it for you. Game of Thrones? Does that sound familiar? We're not sure. We don't know where we are in time or space, much like the Game of Thrones writer's room. We attempt to reorient ourselves to Westeros, make some wild speculations about the season to come, and preview for you what we will be doing to survive this season. Next, we have the finale of our 5 episode series on RomComducation. Kirstie waxes poetic about how far we've all come and Kelsey guides us through closing the loop on this long saga. We should all take a moment to praise her sage wisdom and all the gifts she has to offer. Let us know if we missed anything along this journey!

RomComducation Part 4 and Hatewatch Analog: Beer Festivals

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 23:00:00 -0400

Welcome back, listening friends! It took us a couple of days to work off that Vacation hangover, but we are back at it! This week we are continuing our segment on RomComs with Part 4: RomComs for These, Our Modern Times and Bromantic Comedies. We talk body humor, buddy plots, and take turns telling lots of fun stories from our younger years including major relationship milestones and silly friendship moments. Log it away for Hatewatch Trivia some day. Then because summer is upon us, we wanted to equip you for the People Watching Spectacular that is Summer Beer Festivals. We've got tropes, archetypes, personalities, and the infinite trauma of gender normativity. Feel free to pass along your beer recommendations, we're going to need all the help we can get.

Utopia of Awesomeness: Property Brothers and Grand Designs

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 23:00:00 -0400

Sometimes, you encounter a home improvement program, and it's ordinary. Guided by a contractor, a friend, or perhaps, two brothers, the buyers face adversities that limit their budgets and imaginations. They wind up with a home that's perfectly suitable for their purposes. But other times, you may happen upon a builder who yearns for more. A bespoke home, with triple glazed windows and fine mahogany furniture. Perhaps a balcony from which you can monologue. When you embark on the audacious task of evaluating home improvement television, you may just discover the spirit of humanity. Saddle up your Lil' Hygge and enter this Utopia of Awesomeness to discover all of the secret lives of home improvement host extraordinaires, Jonathan and Drew Scott and Kevin McCloud. We're talking cob, mahogany, bespoke suits, The Most Interesting Man In the World, amusement parks, the Third Olsen Twin, and more. Come for the home improvement television, stay for the architectural metaphors.

Bind Off: House of Cards

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 01:00:00 -0400

Coming in hot with some Spicy Hot Bonus Content, it's our first ever bind off special! Binding off is the knitting term for finishing a project, and hot damn was season 6 of House of Cards a project. We're weaving in the ends on some thoughts and feelings about this season of the show including some returning favorites like Power Claire and her Power Hair, Cathy Durant's pant suits, Tammy 1, wild speculation about next season, some real good puns, and of course, we managed to get a few digs in at the ABC show Downward Dog. Stay tuned for future bind off episodes! Regular episodes will be back atcha on Tuesday evenings.

RomComducation Part 3 and Downward Dog

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 00:00:00 -0400

Ok first we're gonna shoot straight with you, yeah we know the sound quality is rough, but it does get better. Hatewatch With Us: Production is hard and cross platform editing is rude. Just like these, the badlands of our audio quality, we will be exploring both the peaks and valleys of RomComs in Part 3 of Kirstie's RomComducation. We've got the movies that defined the genre as well as the movies that destroyed the genre and trust us, we've got feelings on them all. Then, we decided to watch a show no one asked for: ABC's Downward Dog. We've got feelings about allegories, dogs, CGI, millennials, and more. Come for the snark, stay for the knitting patterns in a new segment/social media campaign we're calling Hatewatch Knitting Circle. Stay tuned for Downward Dog related project updates, and feel free to send up any and all of your knitting projects!

House of Cards and Lil' Hygge's Knitting Corner

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 21:00:00 -0400

House of Cards sure was a thing that happened huh? The slog is real y'all. We've got feelings, we've got gripes, Power Claire has Power Hair and Beau Willimon is a Digimon. Then it's time to saddle up because we're headed to Lil' Hygge's Knitting Corner to discuss all the ins and outs of consuming media while knitting, crafting, or otherwise multitasking. If you thought House of Cards was a slog through dry government dialogue, just wait until you hear how we feel about counting stitches. You'll also get to hear (in real time) the spontaneous creation of our new segment, Hatewatch Knitting Circle. Please join us in the joy of knitting by sharing your knitting patterns, projects, and favorite knitting television! It's Lil' Hygge approved, wholesome fun on this podcast.

RomComducation Part 2 and Hatewatch Analog: Wedding Season

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 18:00:00 -0400

This week we're getting romantical. We've got Part Two of Kirstie's RomComducation, where we discuss two new categories of RomComs: RomComs of Kelsey's Formative Years, and High School RomComs. You're going to learn a lot about Kelsey and we're all going to learn a little something about our teenage selves. Keeping in the spirit, we're bringing back our favorite non-media segment, Hatewatch Analog, because TIS THE SEASON! That's right, Wedding Season is upon us and we all know that Facebook feeds across the country are about to be barraged with a mix of wedding photo albums and statuses from single people who are annoyed by wedding photo albums. We figured you might need some coping skills, so our gifts to you include Randos of Facebook, Fantasy Wedding League, and a few pointers on appropriate Hatewatching of people IRL. Bonus, we're offering personalized Grand Romantic Gestures to anyone who engages with us on Twitter or by email, and bonus points to anyone who makes us goofy Say Anything super cuts.

May at Netflix and RomComducation Part 1

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 31 May 2017 00:00:00 -0400

April Showers bring May Netflix Originals. Or something. Netflix decided to release all of their originals in one month so we decided to talk about it before the month was over. We've got Pavlov's Netflix and Hulu branded tin foil hats. Next, we begin Kirstie's RomComducation with an overview of some of the key Foundational and Quintessential RomComs. Kirstie muddles through all her feelings and misconceptions of the genre and winds up doing Journey covers and Kelsey gets lost in time and space. It's a pretty productive conversation. This will be a multi-episode series so get hype!

Board Game Movies: Clue and Battleship

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 23 May 2017 10:00:00 -0400

You sunk my aircraft carrier in the parlor with the revolver! This week, we took yet another dive into the realm of movies based on toys with the little known Board Game Movie genre. We take you through sex-farce-McCarthyism allegories, alien take overs, chicken burrito heists, and a series of running dog poop jokes. WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED WHO, WHERE, WITH WHAT! Sir, that's a hit.

TENEPIVERSARY

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 09 May 2017 19:00:00 -0400

It's Episode 10 of A Thing We Hope To Do For More Than Ten Episodes! Holy cow y'all, how did we make it so far?! My how the time flies! We are so excited to celebrate with you. In honor of our TenEpiVersary special, we present to you our Top Ten Very Special Episode with smash hits like Top Ten Hot Dads, Top Ten Costumes-Purchased-In-A-LA-Thrift-Store. We throw format to the wind and run through over 65 cultural references in a highly categorized audible listicle, AKA: The World's Worst Power Hour.

Spoilers and Hatewatch Analog

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 02 May 2017 20:00:00 -0400

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!! That's right folks, this week we're tackling a MAJOR PROBLEM IN SOCIETY. That problem is spoilers, and much like the conversation in Episode 2 about cable, Kirstie and Kelsey will come to an awkward impasse because these crazy kids just don't live the same life. Just another sign of these, our divisive, modern times. Then for something completely different, we attempt our first Hatewatch Analog, a joyous hatewatch of non-media life happenings. This time, it's office supplies.....because that's a thing people care about we guess. It's 15 minutes of all of our feels about pens, notebooks, binders, and everything else you can find down at the local Dunder Mifflin.

Catastrophe and Characters You Hate

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 17:00:00 -0400

This episode contains a lot of soul searching, deep shit, and our feelings about human emotions. In the first lesson of Kelsey's Rom Com curriculum, we watch Catastrophe and revel in its Britishness, saltiness, and joyfulness. Then, we talk about characters you're intended to hate and what it means to like or hate characters. We cover ground from the HGTV Prestige Russel Crowe blockbuster Almost Famous, to Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs, You're The Worst, Girls, and many other properties in between. It's basically a cityscape of properties with hate-able characters, and we round the whole thing out with a deep exploration of our most human vulnerabilities. We also finally created the Hatewatch With Us Drinking Game to make these episodes a little higher stakes.

PS: We know Almost Famous is actually by Cameron Crowe. Shut up.

Better Call Reboots and Revivals

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 18:00:00 -0400

This episode we do a lot of soul searching in an attempt to discover the true meaning of reboots, revivals, and spin offs. We've got vocabulary lessons, cinematography lessons, the complete history of reboots, revivals, and Vince Gilligan's television empire, a Kirstie/Kelsey Origin Story, thoughts on vertical integration, and so much more! Friendly reminder that season three of Better Call Saul is a thing, so get hype!

Pantaloons and Lil' Hygge

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 18:00:00 -0400

Whoa baby do we cover some GROUND in this episode. We've got a throw back to Anastasia, we hatewatch the reboot of Beauty and the Beast, and we get to Hatewatch Kelsey's Joy in celebration of the announcement of NBC's Great British Bake Off knock-off, The Handmade Project. This takes us on a journey through films sets, gender roles, casting, bad CGI, and all our Comfort TV feels. So saddle up your miniature horses, Lil' Hygge is taking this dog and pony show on the road.

American Girl Dolls

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 04 Apr 2017 18:00:00 -0400

This week we dive deep into some arm chair psychologist shit with the Made-For-TV American Girl Doll Movies. To all the Samantha's Felicity's and Kirsten's out there, we apologize in advance. We're throwing it back to the Revolutionary War, Victorian times, our roots as nerds at any age, and the WB. Betch credit to Betches.com (http://www.betches.com/american-girl-dolls-ranked-by-betchiness)

What Fresh Hell Is This?

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 22:00:00 -0400

This week is all about Kelsey settling scores. First, she takes a bullet for us all while taking Buzzfeed to task over NBC's new show (and falsely advertised Parks and Rec placebo) Trial and Error. Then, she challenges Kirstie's assertions that she knows anything about network television with a new game segment, conveniently timed as a spring TV preview.

Tiny House Hunters and Hatewatch BYOB

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 21:00:00 -0400

In this episode we split the Hatewatch Difference. First, Kelsey explores a hatewatch staple, the Prestige HBO Drama Tiny House Hunters. We cover all the bases including yurts, millennial humor, and a Tiny House Hunters drinking game. Then we enter Kelsey's fear landscape with a Hatewatch BYOB, a segment where we each get to bring something to the table potluck style. In this case, The Bachelor serves as the stand in for that shitty friend who always brings PBR, and while Kirstie fails to justify or otherwise expand upon any of her original talking points, we do get pretty deep into some weird shit.

Cord Cutting and Anastasia

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Sun, 19 Mar 2017 22:00:00 -0400

Today we quietly ignore our bad internet connection in order tackle a major point of contention in our friendship: Kirstie doesn't watch cable but Kelsey does! So spicy. In this episode, Kirstie fails to argue anything better than "I'm cheap" and Kelsey fails to argue anything better than "I like cable". Then, we celebrate the announcement of Matt Weiner/Weiner's live action Anastasia reboot by revisiting the 1997 animated classic (and Kirstie spends the whole segment misstating the year very confidently). We discuss ball gowns, our One True Dimitri, and our gratitude that this film has returned to Netflix.
