Hey, did you want an episode-by-episode breakdown of NBC's 2015 miniseries “The Slap”? No? Neither did Delia and Cori, but here we are. Sam did quite a bit of damage to herself in this one, and, as a bonus, it doesn't even have anything to do with Thanksgiving.

We joked about doing a Gossip Girl watch, but then two-thirds of us actually did it this week. So here's an episode about the year 2007, including a 30-minute discussion about Dan Humphrey's psychosis. Also stay tuned to hear Sam sing an unconscionable portion of the lyrics to Soulja Boy. Does it even mean anything to apologize for these episodes anymore? Featuring: Let Me Go To Sleep When September Ends, Sam's Favorite Genre, Daniel's IBS Excuses, Cori's Breakdown of The Immigrant Song, Apple or McDonalds, Aww Swine Flu Why You Gotta Do It To Us, We All Liked Daughtry Then!, and Personally It Would Be An Honor To Be Outed By Ian McKellan.

We watched Palm Springs and had a lovely chat about time loop tropes this week, but first Delia has to vent her indignation about Henry Cavill again, and Sam has to try to use an idiom and really fuck it up. Featuring: Delia's Gonna Bully Superman on the Playground, We'd All Be Full of Garbage, Talking About How I Met Your Mother For No Reason Seven Years Later, A Fart In The Wind & Feelin' Frisky, Are WE In A Time Loop?!, She Couldn't Blow Up A CHILD, and Our Wedding Movie Recommendations.

Welcome to our Scoob!cast, wherein we watched Scoob! and then had to watch an entire other movie directly afterwards as a palate cleanser.

Featuring: Delia's Witcher Hell, Henry Cavill's Horny Pony Tale & Uncanny Valley Face, Immunity from Dog Crimes, “Raggy I Miss You Why Did You Go To Hell?”, Head Empty Fred Jones Original Himbo, ‘Ey Booboo I'm Puttin' Together a Team, The Golden Diskette, Back to Norman, and Our Cartoon Movie Recommendations.
Supposedly this is our Father's Day themed episode, so it makes sense that we end up heavily discussing elementary school crimes and blood types and more TV we haven't watched. Let us know—what's YOUR potato meme? Featuring: Our “Email Portion,” Is That An Egg, A Lil Bitch Man, The Password is YOUR Birthday, Dad vs. Daddy vs. Zaddy, Blood Type Identity Theft, What If Uncle Ben But Hot, No Edward In Cori's House, Geralt of Rivia Doesn't Have the Swag, Sam Ruins Her Brand Live On Air, and the Unexpected Return of Quiz Corner.

It's been a particularly hard week, in a particularly hard year. Our foremost thoughts are with those protesting and mourning, and we encourage all our listeners to donate, call your representatives, vote(!!), and offer your support in every way you are able. Here are direct links to the organizations we mention at the end of our episode: Black Visions Collective: https://www.blackvisionsmn.org/ Columbus Freedom Fund: https://www.paypal.me/columbusfreedomfund George Floyd Memorial Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd Black Lives Matter: https://blacklivesmatter.com/ More Places to Donate: https://www.thecut.com/article/george-floyd-protests-how-to-help-where-to-donate.html Our lesser thoughts this weekend were spent recording an episode full of anecdotes, allegories, and Cori's dad's anime recs. As always, rate, subscribe and drop us a review (of the 2001 movie Spirited Away). Featuring: Owl on Owl Violence, The Adventures of Skater Sam, Selective Kayak Deafness, Ten Apologies and Excuses, Spirited Away as an Immigration Allegory, PS3-Era Graphics, Gru is Top Ten Anime Protags, and Places to Donate Right Now!
We're really scraping the bottom of the barrel in this one. Sam holds us hostage by reading listacles until her dog Talia yelled at us to stop. Thank you, Talia.

To the zero people listening, here's an extra-long episode all about fandom, classic ship wars, shipping culture, and our personal OTPs.

We've all forgotten how linear time works, and spent an hour trying in vain to remember anything we did in the past week. “I need to derail,” is basically the subtitle of this one. Featuring: Tantric Microphones, TV is Cori's Exercise, The Lesser Amell, A Robot With Five Human Brothers, I'm Ple Martin Welcome to My Ted Talk, I've Put Glee Behind Me, InuYasha vs. A Nick At Nite Bitch, It's Fourteen Everywhere (aka The Long-Standing Time-Zone Debate), Stages of Emaciated Spongebob, Remembering The Slap, Gimli Why Are You With This Fucko, and our Grab Bag-But-Just-TV Recommendations of the Week.
We succeeded in making the least listenable episode thus far, starting with a mess of an introduction, recaps of the pilot of ‘Council of Dads' and ‘The Meg' that no one asked for, and topped off with the fact that both Cori and Delia sound like they're recording through a tin can. This one is, to quote Sam, “Just For the Fans.” Featuring: Sam is a Master Now & Botches the Intro, “Does Ira Glass Have a Podcast?”, Delia Cannot Care, Four Children In One Family, No One Listening to the Anne Frank Piano Girl, Missy Elliot Courtship, “Did RBG Vape? Is She Cool?”, Sam “Liked” The Meg, Every Recipe is Salmon in the Dishwasher & Raisin Balls, and our App Recommendations of the Week.
Brackets are ~hot~ right now, so we did a bracket in this one. It takes us an hour to determine that a good show is good, so this episode is the riveting material you've no doubt been waiting for. Featuring: No Friends Until Government Dad Says Friends, On the Dulé Hill of it All, Robot Lions Turn Into A Big Man, Sean's Review of Fuller House (as told by Sam), Joey Yelling Out Into the Courtyard, Waffles Waffles & Look at Them Legs, Friendship With Teen Wolf Over, Verdict: Queer Eye Is Good, and our Movie Recommendations of the Week.
We're still here, and ready to shed the pretense of this show having any sort of structure or guiding themes. We chat for an hour mostly about things we won't ever watch. Hey, y'all remember QWOP? Featuring: It Sucks Horrible, They Just Keep Shooting People, There Was Sand On The Screen and I Made It Ten Yards, Darth Vader & Padma Lakshimi, I'm Also A Child of Divorce, Leverage Is My Favorite People Show, Tv Show-Related Scandals Cori Missed, and our Book Recommendations of the Week.
It was Easter, so we put a lot of effort into watching and talking about Trolls: World Tour, and really got lost in the weeds of it all. Regardless, Sam puts her history degree to good use and summarizes the plot of the movie by explaining World War II. Featuring: Lord Save Me From Margaritaville, Machu Picchu Trip, Genre-cide, Hip-Hop Bloodlines, Troll Diet Musings, A Wasp Emergency, We Are All The Same But Some of Us Are Horses, and Our Recommended Quarentunes.
This one just escalates to Sam and Delia yelling at each other about fictional semantics, while Cori tries futilely to inject logic and calmness. So…the usual. Enjoy? Featuring: The Candle Incident, Am I Fast or Slow, Virtual Trivia Stories, Alley Cinderblocks & Other Fitness Routines, Bottle Episode Marriage Story & Reverse Sex and the City, Did You Give a Child to This Mouse, Sam Doesn't Understand Nicknames and Demands Sonic's “Real Name,” and Podcast Recommendations.
We watched How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World a year late, and, fittingly, it takes us most of this episode of meandering around, berating famous men, to even get around to talking about it. Also, the introduction of our Weekly Recommendations—this week, we're each bringing a TV Show we're watching in this, our plague year. Featuring: Psychic Vampires in Quarantine, Will Otis Please Stand Up, Home Improvement is Objectionable, Meandering SNL Chat, Actors Who Just Look Like A Friend's Dad I'm Avoiding, Nitpicking Famous Men Part 139221027, A Shiny Smooth Horny Dragon, and A Show From Each Streaming Service.

It's time for THE BIG GAME! ...which means we googled our Sonic-sonas in this one, obviously. Feat: Cori's sport-related injury starring Charles Entertainment Cheese, the price of my dignity is a $20 coupon & other trivia war stories, Men Who Aren't Good(TM), "Conan doesn't look like anything," I'm only acquaintances with knuckles, razor is ready to fight, "I love Clam," some reluctant and cursed Cats chat, our outdated Oscars predictions (thankfully wrong!), Delia's visceral hellscape, measure your life in diet coke.

THE END...?
