Hello everyone! Skip ahead to 14:27 if you want to miss our chat about Howard Stern's interview on Terry Gross' Fresh Air on NPR (or hang out with us as we delve into it). We watched The Choice based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. It was a mixed bag, but we both agree it was beautifully shot. Tuca and Bertie stars the voice acting of Tiffany Haddish (Girls' Trip) and Ali Wong (Hard Knock Wife) and is just adorable, kooky and delightful. Highway Thru Hell takes us back to when the Alberta Oil Sands were booming just a few years ago (they're not anymore) and some of the characters and conflicts that fuel the show.
