Outlander Season 6 Review

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 08:30:00 -0400

We're back to shout about one of our favorite things to shout about: Outlander! We're sharing the things we loved, hated, and loved to hate about Outlander Season 6 (MARK ME, we loved more things than we hated?). From the season that brought us such metaphors as THE-STORM-THE-WAR, we were also given gifts like the Benjamin Moore Outlander collection, throuple plots, justice for Fergus, and Matthew B Roberts' PR exit. Did we need season 6? No. Are were here now? Yes. So pour yourself a giant G&T and enjoy recapping with us!

Eurovision 2022

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 23 May 2022 11:00:00 -0400

Like grandma-starved wolves from the moon, we are descending from the abyss to grace your sound space with an episode of our podcast. We are debrieifing the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest and spoiler alert this is a pro Subwoolfer/anti sad boy ballad podcast.

The Lost City

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 13:00:00 -0400

If we can't have Mamma Mia 3 (yet), we CAN have sequined jumpsuits and blush wine and The Lost City. We went to the movies, together, in-person! to see this film and we're here to report that the Rom Com is alive and well in the year of our lord 2022!

Heathrow: Britain's Busiest Airport

Scan your boarding pass and remove your shoes because this week are are taking our newfound Infrastructure obession to the skies with Heathrow: Britain's Busiest Airport. What started as an ode to our mom Julie Walter's quickly evolved into a love deeper than the baggage department under terminal 2 of Heathrow. This sleeper hit has it all from mundane workplace victories, to crime sniffing dogs and our favorite Heathrow employee, Demi.

Outlander: Here We Go Again! (Season 6 Preview + Premiere)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Outlander Season 6 is finally here! Join us for our preview of the season, a little time travel, and our thoughts on the season premiere. While we can count the never-ending cold open among the things we lost in France, we've got some positives in there too, like Emmy-worthy crazy eyes acting and what promises to be our drinking game this season, sniffing out the essence of Tequila Sam wherever we can (10/10 would purchase that fragrance???). Anyway, we're happy to be back on the Ridge, even if there's glass in the windows.

Marry Me

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 21:00:00 -0500

Say Yes to the RomCom Renaissance! We are here with JLo/Peacocks new romcom Marry Me and not only do we have some feelings about it but we have feelings about the American Song Contest, planes, the hotness of various Wilson brothers, and a variety of other topics. We're all just here to have a good fun time.

Pilot Palooza 2021

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 21:00:00 -0500

It's everyone's favorite way to kick off a new year, only one month late! Pilot Palooza is back folks, and we've drafted six pilots to catch ourselves up on the 2021 tv discourse: All Creatures Great and Small, We Are Lady Parts, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Reservation Dogs, Euphoria, and Maid. Spoiler alert: they all slap (with one notable exception - bet you can't guess!).

A Princess For Christmas (RERELEASE)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 06:00:00 -0500

As far as Christmas magic goes, there's nothing quite as magical as Sam Heughan's tight white pants in the 2011 timeless classic, A Princess for Christmas (Christmas for Princess? who's to say?). Today we're bringing you a rerelease of our of 2018 episode about this fine film. Enjoy!

Nine Kittens of Christmas and Next Stop Christmas

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 17:00:00 -0500

It's the most Hatewatchable Time of the Year - Hatewatch Christmas 2021 is well underway and this week we are coming in hot with two entries from Hallmark full of time travel, cats, and infrastructure galore. First it's the Nine Kittens of Christmas, a movie where not much happens except a venue for our annual debate about the merits of Hallmark fucking. Next is Next Stop Christmas, and folks Hallmark had no right making this film just for us. If you like trains, time travel, and dunking on New England this has got it all.

Billboard Dad (Dad Month)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 22:00:00 -0400

When we said Dad Month did you expect it to take us a month to release a new Dad episode? Same! Anyway, we're here today to discuss Billboard Dad, Tom Amande's inexplicable suave, the bizarre investment of the Venice, CA Bureau of Commerce, bedrooms decorated like coral reefs, and teenage swim instructors who have too much interest in their diving team. Stay tuned for the next installment of Dad Month because somehow it's going to be even more buck wild?

Jeff Bezos' Cinderella (feat. Pierce Dad)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 13:00:00 -0400

IT'S DAD MONTH, Y'ALL! We're kicking things off with a listener request featuring our very good dad Pierce once again just absolutely thriving in the campiest dad roles of our generation. And while we can't agree that anyone was clamoring for Jeff Bezos' Cinderella, we ARE clamoring for Pierce Dad's Oscar for this role. We've got lots of thoughts about what injustice Bezos has inflicted on us this time, like using his space technology to create CGI mice, subjecting us to an hours-long montage to Let's Get Loud, and letting James Corden do dick jokes. After we spend roughly an hour questioning WHO IS THIS FOR? we have some fun new segments like creating Mamma Mia board games, the Sam Heughan James Bond Google Alerts Temperature Check™️, and forgetting to tell you about Dad Month until the last minute of the show. Stay tuned for the next installment of Dad Month: Billboard Dad!

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.

Girls5Eva

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 12:00:00 -0400

Apparently what we were waiting five was Daniel Radcliffe doing a rendition of She'll Be Coming Around The Mountain in assless chaps (bless you Miracle Workers??). But once we get through that extremely urgent late-breaking red alert (3REAL5US), we're really here to talk about Girls5Eva. Join us for New York Lonely Boys, Tina Fey/Dolly Parton hallucinations, 4 Stars, and a 5 minute long promo of what we're going to be on our bullshit about next.

Miracle Workers and Ted Lasso

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 06:00:00 -0400

This week we're back on our bullshit with two TV for Nice People Only. Both Miracle Workers and Ted Lasso are back, and somehow this epode was recorded before EITHER SHOW's big 3rd/4th episode but trust that we're ready to talk about it. Enjoy 45 minutes of pure delight about two delightful shows. We're happy about Roy Ken's facial hair and DanRad's child star money and infinite professional bliss. If you're happy about these things two consider giving us five star reviews! Ted Lasso believes in you!

Never Have I Ever Season 2

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0400

We're back and here to talk about many things, but mainly how unreasonably hot Paxton Hall-Yoshida is! That's right, it's the Golden Month of Television and we're kicking things off with season two of Never Have I Ever, a Hatewatch Our Joy mainstay that generates an equal ratio of tears to google searches about male characters' heights. Please enjoy our raw, unedited, earnest feelings about this show and what we owe to Mindy Kaling and also what we absolutely do not owe to our two-star reviewer (no, we're not over it). If you missed us, be sure to check out the Everwood Pinecast, where we've been busy recapping season one of the hit WB series Everwood (which Never Have I Ever may have stolen IP from, who's to say???).

Downward Dog Revisited

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 19 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

We are filthy trash dogs folks, hear us roar. We love trash so much because we come from a long line of trash dogs and as such we could not resist revisiting the ultimate filthy trash dog, the 2017 ABC 8 episode one hit wonder, Downward Dog. TL;Dr we still don't know why everyone except us loved this show but we sure don't!

Marriage or Mortgage

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 12 May 2021 23:00:00 -0400

Consider this week's episode to be another installment in the classic series Netflix, What Have You Done?! We watched the reality home buying/wedding planning show Marriage or Mortgage so you don't have to. Come for the complete unabashed psuedo HGTV emotional war crimes, stay for Kelsey's crusade to defend the honor of Love It or List It????

SAS: Red Notice (Our Month on the Rails)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Grab your tobbogans and your gas masks folks because we're boarding a train to a whole new world of trains and infrastructure. The good news, we've found the intersection of our brand containing both Trains and Sam Heughan, the bad news, it's Action Hallmark. It's always Christmas, the good guy always wins, and there's always bombs on trains. We are heart broken to be winding down Our Month on the Rails, but we are so grateful you joined us all for the ride.

Coastal Railways with Julie Walters (Our Month on the Rails)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 06:00:00 -0400

This is it, after a long month winding through the country side, we have climbed the mountain and reached the absolute pinnacle of our life on the rails, where we found Coastal Railways with Julie Walters. We've seen a lot trains and a lot of countryside but we have never seen anything as joyful as Julie Walters riding the train. We're smoking some fish, touring some trailers, eating some lobsters, and learning a lot about victorian train ettiquette.

The Biggest Little Railway in the World (Our Month On The Rails)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 22:00:00 -0400

Sometimes you're chugging along a highway, sometimes you're running along a scenic river gorge, and sometimes you're navigating across the Great Glen Way on 70 miles of plastic rail. We're joining our friend Dick Strawbridge in the journey to Fucking Inverness this week on The Biggest Little Railway in the World. Come for the model trains, stay for the friendship. At the intersection of our inexplicable brand you'll find Scotland, Nice People, Dick Strawbridge, british people, infrastructure, Love Productions and (checks notes) Hamm Analysis???? Anyway, we just really love trains.

Norwegian Slow TV (Our Month on the Rails, Part 1)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 21:00:00 -0400

It's Infrastructure Month! Hope y'all like TRAINS. We're kicking things off by exploring Norwegian Slow TV, or as we like to call it, free therapy. They've got knitting, they've got boats, but most of all, they've got trains. Somehow along the way during our seven hour Bergen line YouTube journey, we discovered that Train TV is actually for us? Please tell us about your favorite routes and whether or not you think mountains should categorically be allowed in the game of Hot or Tall! And next week: MORE TRAINS.

Men In Kilts

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:00:00 -0400

We are traveling through the highlands of Scotland to explore the highs of Sam Heughan's turtle necks, the rich valleys of Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish's thighs, and understand our roots as travel show/hot-and-tall enthusiasts. While we're on the subject, stay tuned for the end as Kelsey reveals a new important scientific acheivement, the Hamm Analysis.

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).

Cinderella (1997)

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 19:30:00 -0500

Join us for an adventure in 90's tv musical production as we unpack the 1997 Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella (you know the one, with Brandy, Whitney Houston, and great ubiquitous character actor Victor Garber??). In between Kirstie reading Victor Garber's IMDB history, we touch on the song mixes, the sound stage vibes, and how much this thing truly slaps. We also promote a certain tv interview that's already aired and unfortunate now-old news about Mr. Hot & Tall In Perpetuity, so this is a blast from the past in pretty much every way.

Ted Lasso: Out of Relegation

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 22:00:00 -0500

Sometimes you record an episode of a podcast and think to yourself, man I could really record another episode of that. So here we are, revisiting Ted Lasso. After having a Rebecca reaction to Ted Lasso, Kirstie rewatched the show and is back for another go at talking about what we love about it. Tl:DR we love it and we just want to spend more time talking about it so please come talk to us about Ted Lasso some more.

The Great British Sewing Bee

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 22:00:00 -0500

This week, we pushed the boundaries of geographical internet roadblocks to finally watch The Great British Sewing Bee! While there are no tears over works of art on this iteration of the quaint maker competition, we do get to learn a lot about things like darts and sewing on the bias and whether or not sewing makes for good tv. The most important thing this week is that we get a REALTIME REVIEW at the end of the episode and we have a lot of feelings about it (THANK YOU NIKNIK!).

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?

Escape to the Chateau

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 20:00:00 -0500

This week we're reporting live from the floating glamping dome at Château de la Motte-Husson. We wish??? Alas, we are forced to Escape to the Chateau by way of Dick Strawbridge and his enigmatic aura. If you too enjoy watching questionable people make questionable choices with both their home renovation and their business, look no further than this gem that includes highlights such as taxidermy! narrator shade! growing vegetables and eating them! We actually cannot overstate how much we love this show or how many questions we have about Dick Strawbridge's credentials. If you have information about the petty chateau wars, please contact us!

Ted Lasso

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 06:00:00 -0500

We've got soooooo much to unpack this week. Kelsey finally has her moment to deliver a friendship gift to Kirstie in the form of Ted Lasso and Kirstie........politely accepted. We spend some time trying to understand why a beautiful, self aware, well humored, kind show about friendship and the workplace wasn't somehow made specifically for Kirstie and the answer is.....fascism? This was our last episode recorded in Trump's America cut us some slack. Oh also Kirstie cries for the first time ever on the podcast so get hype.

Bridgerton

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 21:00:00 -0500

It's time to channel our best Ladies Whistledown to throw some shade and adoration at Bridgerton! This is part 2 of 3 of our Pilot Palooza Extravaganza and we're getting into the spoiler zone to talk about the entire season, including costume choices, romance choices, and sex ed choices. We still think the Duke of Hastings is hot, the Other Men are a waste of time, and Sam Heughan can get it (what how did that get in there???).

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?

Wings

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:00:00 -0400

Buckle your seatbelts and make sure your seat backs are in an upright position because this episode making a late arrival in your podcast feeds is about none other than the 90's classic sitcom Wings. It's Kirstie's turn to make Kelsey watch some formative media, and we agree that Wings is a delight that has aged MOSTLY well despite its fat jokes and Kennedy complex. Is Wings more charming than when Kirstie and Kelsey both forget everyday words and phrases in a single episode? You'll have to listen to find out. ALSO, there's a Treat Dad Update!

Get Organized with The Home Edit

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 16:00:00 -0400

This week, we're taking every episode of the new Netflix show Get Organized with The Home Edit and placing them inside dedicated plastic containers in rainbow order. If you have thoughts about fridge organization systems, The Container Store, and whether or not children give a shit about organizational systems, SO DO WE. Come for the manic pixie rainbow cricut instagram fever dream, stay for the head to head battle between The Home Edit and Marie Kondo. Even if you do forget the four steps of the home organizing system (who would do that?), the important takeaway here is to request your absentee ballots, people!

Christina and Tarek's Flip Side on the Coast 101

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

HGTV bought three reality shows at auction sight unseen, and despite adding a multitude of high end finishes, they're definitely over their reno budget! Will they stand to make a profit on this flip, or will they be beaten out by comps on Cottage Life Network? Who's to say? (We are. We are to say.) That's right folks, we've watched all of the Flip or Flop spinoffs with our favorite cyborg duo Christina and Tarek. From surprise weddings to on screen weeping, there is simultaneously a lot to cover and also nothing at all here.

The Dog House and The Great Pottery Throwdown

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 17:00:00 -0400

Today we're going to sit down at the wheel and throw an episode for y'all about some British reality tv coming to an HBO Max near you. But first - the Emmy nominations were released and we have thoughts (shocker). Basically if Schitt's Creek doesn't sweep we're quitting. So after our designated time for gripes and gloats, we're on to The Dog House (UK?), a show that's a real mixed bag featuring puppies and poor decision making. While we aren't sure The Dog House is for us, the show that decidedly IS for us is The Great Pottery Throwdown (or as we so confidently call it, The Great British Throwdown - at some point all show names are the same). We learn about ceramics, we learn about how horny pottery can be, there's history lessons... and we won't spill the beans here but it's possible we may even have a new addition to the Dad Canon. Tune in to find out!

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

Please allow us to point you in the direction of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, a gift from the universe for us all. We could not have fewer regrets about dedicating two hours and two bottles of rosé to this movie. It's got songs that slap! It's got Pierce Dad! Honestly, if you need something to get you through until Mamma Mia 3 or the end of quarantine (whichever comes first), you will not go wrong with this film.

We were watching a tv show the other daaaaay...

That's right folks, Kirstie watched eight whole seasons of television (ALLEGEDLY) and now it's finally time to talk about Letterkenny, the filthiest show for nice people only. This super soft episode features over 50 minutes of us talking about how much we like this show. Nots to be impolite, but if you have a problem with Letterkenny, you have a problem with us, and we suggest you let that marinate. If you haven't watched it yet... pitter patter!

Note from your cohosts: This week's episode is coming to you from several weeks ago, so there's a noteworthy lack of commentary about these, our ever changing modern times! In lieu of begging for 5-star reviews, please focus your efforts on a much more worthwhile cause and join us in donating and learning how you can help at the following links: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd?refcode=cwg

Have you done that? Great! Now if what you need is some escapist tv, we fortuitously chose this week to talk about The Durrells in Corfu. This show may or may not be a prequel to Mamma Mia (yes we know there already is a prequel), and what it lacks in song and dance numbers it makes up for in sass and men that are both Hot and Tall.

Homestead Rescue

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Thu, 28 May 2020 22:00:00 -0400

What happens when one cohost low key picks up homesteading? Apparently, this. We're here to bring you a true hatewatch this week, Discovery Channel's Homestead Rescue. We watched the pilot and we have thoughts about goat enclosures, conspiracy theories, and the patriarchy. We also workshop an iteration of Homestead Flip or Flop, which feels like a lot more fun (call us, Discovery Channel?). While we're at it, Cottage Life Network, please also call us and give us a way to access Brojects. Thank you!

Never Have I Ever

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 20 May 2020 20:00:00 -0400

The story of this podcast is that we won't be discussing Eurovision 2020, because it was a lie. Instead, we are here to talk about our feelings as they relate to the Netflix original series, Never Have I Ever. You all are delighted, we assume. Come for Hot or Tall, stay for tales of high school romance from Kirstie's past. Also, if you know the height of Ben Gross, please contact us immediately at @hatewatchwithus.

Bind Off: Outlander Season 5

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Fri, 15 May 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Welcome to our slightly delayed review of Outlander, season 5! We've got highs, we've got lows, and we've got petty thoughts. But that's not all, folks. We channeled the spirit of Outlander with this unwieldy 1:40 minute episode, which means we also had time for Mustache Moments™️, Jamie Fraser's Big Hagrid Energy, and wild speculation about the future of this series! If you don't care about Kirstie & Kelsey's Kuarantine Korner (rude), feel free to skip ahead to minute 8 to jump into Outlander talk.

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!

Self Quarantine Recommendations

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:00:00 -0400

Things are getting weird in 2020 and we're coming at ya with some content recommendations to get you through self quarantine! First, wash your hands, then settle in for a grab bag of things to watch, things to avoid, Census PSAs, and Kirstie's soapmaking adventures. We also have a GLOWING review to discuss in detail, and Kirstie gets mad that Kelsey watched a movie without her (some things never change, even during pandemics).

Watch them already: Outlander, Battle of the Blades, Schitt's Creek, Below Deck Med & Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Grand Designs, Derry Girls (Derby Girls), Parks & Rec, Friday Night Lights, Catastrophe, Succession

Do not watch: The Office, Friends, How I Met Your Mother

Our 14 recommendations for 14 days of quarantine: Halt and Catch Fire, Wings, Calming British reality TV (Great British Bakeoff, Grand Designs, Monty Don's Gardens, Coastal Railways with Julie Walters), Rewatches, Knives Out, Spartacus, Sanditon, Revolution, Greek content (Mamma Mia, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!, The Durrells in Corfu, My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Flash Forward, Miracle Workers, Downward Dog, Derry Girls, Score! A Hockey Musical

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!

Episode 105 | Below Deck Mediterranean & Hatewatch IRL: Snack Time

Stumptown and Emergence

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 07:00:00 -0500

This week, we are talking about ABC's fall tv offering, but we are ALSO talking about The Barenaked Ladies (again). First, we discuss Stumptown and Kirstie's war on lead female characters on network tv. Then, we try to work through our Downward Dog PTSD with Emergence, a show that is Spo0o0o0o0o0ky. Come for the Topical Content, stay for the Vermont dome folklore. If you are a network exec, please come talk to us about what we can offer by way of Victorian ghosts if you set your show in New England instead of New York! Also, Downward Dog was a bad show.

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!

Flip That Romance

Kirstie & Kelsey | Thought Bubble Audio — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 21:00:00 -0400

Your favorite hosts are back and here to unlock the Hallmark Channel algorithm as we dig deep into their HGTV fanfic movie, Flip That Romance. Whether you're into flipping or florist-ing, there's something here for everyone(???) as long as you're not a contractor looking for work in Portland. So pick up some art wood and join us on this adventure through a generic Pacific Northwest place as we learn about the best foliage for your kitchen island, voter fraud at the home and garden show, and how not to write a press release. Remember folks, with only one of their designs able to win the magazine spread, it could be that not only their duplex got renovated for the better but also their romance got flipped as well.
