Blondes With Glasses!

Fall is here in full force: pumpkin spice everything, crunchy leaves, and plenty of new TV shows to watch. Your hosts discuss what shows they love (so far), which ones they already left behind, and why Supergirl on CBS might be able to turn this lackluster season around. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

This week, your hosts discuss the merits of shows with an afterlife. From online saviors like Netflix and Hulu, who rescue cancelled shows, to network hopping, follow up films, questionable reboots, and comic books - we cover them all! We also mention a few shows we'd love to see rise again (ahem, Pushing Daisies) and shows that should have stayed dead (Scrubs?!). And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

What does a girl want? The answer for these two host-ladies is a follow-up to the amazing Amanda Bynes/Colin Firth comedy from your childhood. We squeeze in corgis, an annoying French pastry chef, The Rock with a Cockney accent, and Colin Firth wearing more leather. (Obviously.) And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

Did you know that Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit only has a 7% rating on Rotten Tomatoes?! This unbelievable fact was the jumping off point for this week's episode. We discuss the different ways to measure a movie, why we put so much faith in reviews, and what to do when the reviewer is just plain wrong. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

We now present another tipsy sequel idea, this one for Stick It - the best (only?) gymnastics movie. Tune in to hear how we squeeze The Rock into this inevitable sequel, which includes such fantastic plot points as parkour, Tony Hawk, and (at Becca's insistence) a random heist. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

This week's episode is an impromptu one about road trips! Shannon, in the midst of a road trip of her own, stopped by at Becca's to discuss the finer points of road trip music selection, how to keep the whole car happy, and what to do when you are by yourself for hours on end. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

When do you decide to break it off with a TV show? Your bespectacled hosts prepare for the onslaught of new Fall TV by debating when and why to give up. We've all been burned before (I'm looking at you, Once Upon A Time...)and it never seems to get easier to say goodbye. We also make predictions about what we'll give up on next and admit which shows we'll never be able to let go. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

CHUNK CHUNK! This week's episode is all about navigating everyday life while female and why our default setting seems to always be "on guard". We discuss the male gaze, rape culture, and how the media portrays and teaches both. Why also take some time to celebrate that Olivia Benson has been our role model and heroine for 17 years. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

After our two week summer vacation, your bespectacled hosts discuss the dating scene for modern ladies. Between their disappointing OKCupid dates to the media portrayal of millennials in relationships, we try to talk through the many, many steps to finding love. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

In this week's episode, we try to figure out some technical glitches. And then we get down to business! Why do we both love Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson so much? Is it his charisma? His smile? His amazing lipsyncing of T-Swift's music? Spoiler alert: it might just be a combo of all those things. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

This week, your hosts discuss the pros and cons of gender swapping in pop culture. From Starbuck to Watson, we try to unravel why fans get so mad when a beloved character turns female. We also spend quite a while being smitten with the new all-female Ghostbusters cast because, honestly, how can you not? And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

Hold onto your pants, people. This is our pitch for Fast and Furious 8! You want some highlights? HAN AND GISELLE. RACING. HELEN MIRREN. MOLES IN THE FAMILIA. THE ROCK SAVING THE DAY. What else could you possibly need? You'll have to listen to find out! And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

After spending the weekend together, your bespectacled hosts decided to discuss how they watch TV and film with families. What makes a family tradition? And how do you cope when your family thinks you have weird taste in media? No, really. We're asking for advice on that one! And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

Are we living in a dystopia? Hollywood sure thinks so! This week's episode has your hosts (and special guest/number one fan Zach!) discussing why dystopias are so popular in pop culture. What makes a dystopia? Are we all headed for an oppressive future filled with robot overlords? What else is out there besides The Hunger Games and Divergent? And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

We've all had that moment when your favorite show takes a turn for the worse. Call it "Jumping the Shark" or "Seasonal Rot" - either way it's a sad way for media to go. We watched "Married With Fishsticks" - one of the most horribly insane episodes of Xena and discussed other shows that went down the tubes. (Spoiler alert: No one cares who killed Jenny on The L Word!) And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

Happy Pride month! In this episode, we take stock of LGBT representation in media. We discuss harmful tropes and how far we've come, (Spoiler alert: not far enough) as well as some of our favorite interpretations of LGBT story-lines so far. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

In this episode, your hosts tackle how to be an everyday feminist. We discuss the pros and cons of being a spokesperson on behalf of social justice and how we each deal with uncomfortable situations. We also touch on intersectionality, success stories, and how to deal with bros. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

Now seasoned pros at the convention thing, your bespectacled hosts discuss this year's Awesome Con. From cosplay to speed dating and the highs and lows of the panels we attended, this episode covers it all. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other (and for how next years convention could be even better!). Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

In this episode, Shannon peer pressures Becca to watch Jupiter Ascending, maybe one of the most confounding movies of the year. What went wrong? (Lots!) Where did all the money go? (CGI!) Should there be a sequel? (Absolutely not!) Are space bees controlled by Queen Elizabeth, too? (We hope so!) And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

Once again divided by an ocean, Becca and Shannon discuss how they're coping with being separated. It's also time for another listener suggestion: TV shows about our lives. We wrote the pitches and now we're letting them loose on the world. (Hey, CW head honchos! If you're interested in either of these ideas, drop a line to us at our tumblr!) And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/
