    Have you ever willingly watched a movie from 1962 that you knew nothing about? Yeah, us either. So that's exactly what we did. With the release of Disney Plus we posed a question to our Twitter followers: which obscure movie should we watch? With a late stage gain, Sammy, The Way-Out Seal won. This "movie" is actually a two part television series that they combined to make a 43 minute short film.

    GROWING UP MONTH: The one where Martha and Colby talk about millennial burnout

    In early 2019, Buzzfeed News posted an article about millennial burnout. You can read it here: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/millennials-burnout-generation-debt-work But basically, as millennials, we are trained to become as efficient as possible. Which usually translates into fitting as much work as possible into our already busy days. When we fit all that work in without breaks it can be so freaking hard to keep going. It feels like you can't even do the most simple tasks, because you've been going for longer than you're supposed to. We talk about all this, and how we can conquer burnout (or at least, become more aware). Spoiler alert: we're not sure you can.
