Really Important Fictional Things
Lord Above (The Sex Lives of College Girls)
Instead of letting Omicron’s presence completely drain your mental energy, listen to us light-heartedly discuss our new favorite show The Sex Lives of College Girls. We mix college nostalgia with contemplations of how seeing these situations on TV provides scripts for how to deal with serious stuff IRL — without letting it break you. We also discuss how The Morning Show is incorporating COVID into their storyline, Harry Potter, and a NOT NETFLIX top ten situation for 2021. Listen to the episode HERE.
Next we’re talking series finales, including How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Parenthood, House, New Girl, Insecure, and Chuck. Watch those by Wednesday 1/12 if you wanna be ~current~ and KoOL for the next ep.
