This week's episode is really taking me back to my own late teen years as we are talking about One Tree Hill. I've found it so refreshing to learn a lot about the show that I didn't know, as a viewer in real time, and that I now see differently. I am sharing a little bit about my personal attachment to the show as I give a synopsis of it as well as some of the behind the scenes production and drama on the show, its present day relevance, the mom characters on the show, and some of the motherhood storylines I've been able to identify in each season. Then of course, we'll wrap it up with my rating on the guilty pleasure scale. So get ready for some major nostalgia as we dig into one of my favorite shows! Visit this episode's blog post here.

Like staff and students, parents can have bad days too. But sometimes their conduct crosses a line, leading school administrators to wonder if they can ban hostile or aggressive parents from school grounds altogether. What should school districts consider before taking such a drastic step? What sort of legal challenges can boards anticipate when parents are restricted from school buildings and how can administrators place their districts in the best possible position to have their decisions upheld by a court or agency? Join Lisa, Megan, and Miriam to discuss best legal practices in handling difficult conflicts with badly-behaving parents.

Oh, hey! Did you miss us? We were gone, but we're back, baby! And this movie is going to blow your mind. Or, like, surprise you a little.Wrapped in a clever revenge turned to true love story (classic), its relatively simple plot is colored delicately with complicated characters and complex relationships. We know Edward Cullen is in it, people, and we ain't mad about it. The love story is fleshed out and chemistry palpable. Side characters feel real and alive outside the moments they share with our love birds. Sarah really digs this one, guys, and she writes the synopsis. So, yeah, it's waxing poetic.Didn't dig?

Caution! Spoilers await you on this quest!Adventure! Romance! Intrigue! Time Travel! Gerard Butler brings all these things! And, like, all the other people in this movie. And there are other people in the move. We think. Somewhere.A misunderstood machine that has definitely killed people, but is definitely not a death trap, is the portal to a picturesque yesteryear that straight murders all but our core cast. Dummy Dumb-Dumb's dad gets thrown back and errbody has to go save his ass. Except Paul Walker, aka Dummy Dumb-Dumb. He has literally no business going, but whatever.Gerard Butler has a romantic "sub" plot, he has sword fights, while other people do other, less sexy things.It's a good time! You didn't think so?

Caution! Our podcast is chock full of spoilers!Come with us if you want to laugh. What did the future look like in 1984? Fucking bleak is how. This classic action/scifi story is the Helen of Troy of movies. It's launched a thousand sequels and reboots. And we're here for, like, most of them. Arnold Scharzngggglafrzer takes on the bone chilling role of the Terminator, sent back in time to murder the mother of a revolutionary. Because that plan is foolproof.

The People vs CymbalineIn which subtitles are necessary.Caution! Our podcast is chock full of spoilers! Are you a fan of Sons of Anarchy? The Shield? Then you’ll love the marketing for this movie. Turn on the subtitles and hold onto your hat, folks, we’re in for a wild ride! Dirty cops at war with a biker gang is just the tip of the iceberg. Really. Just the tip. It’s barely relevant at all. Two ridiculously named young adults marry in secret and literally no one acknowledges this as a valid pairing. Except our lovebirds, of course. This marriage puts a hitch in the evil queen(seriously. There is one of those)’s plans to marry Imogen, our young ingenue, to her own son and secure her family’s place as leaders in the local biker gang hierarchy. But he’s a total dickbag and we’re all glad when he **SPOILER ALERT** eats it. There are illegitimate (and presumably stupid) children, murderous jealousy, plotting, plot adjacent story lines that are way less important than one would think, and DAN FROM GOSSIP GIRL. DAN.
