In this episode, Manika is joined by Lydia (@landoflydia), a whip-smart TikTok creator and pop culture observer, for the first of a two-part conversation all about HBO's high-stakes financial drama Industry. The episode opens with a lively round of Media Mania, where Manika and Lydia dive into timely entertainment stories, including the controversy surrounding HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series. They break down the problematic implications of supporting JK Rowling's work in 2025, especially in light of escalating anti-trans sentiment in the UK and US. Both express frustration at the entertainment industry's unwillingness to hold creators accountable, and highlight how fandom often prioritizes nostalgia over human rights.From there, the two shift gears to celebrate Sinners, Ryan Coogler's genre-bending new musical, which they agree is already a strong Oscar contender. They praise its powerful storytelling, stunning vocals, and the joy of seeing a Black-led original IP break box office expectations—despite negative media framing. The conversation also veers into Marvel fatigue, the wasted potential of Blade, and the systemic obstacles still plaguing directors like Nia DaCosta and actors like Mahershala Ali.Finally, they dig into Industry—the show's themes, characters, and cutthroat environment. Manika recalls being drawn in by the promise of a “Succession-like” drama with a Black woman lead, while Lydia shares how the show piqued her curiosity after buzz around Interview with the Vampire. The two discuss the brutal demands of Pierpoint & Co., particularly the tragic death of Hari in episode one, and how that moment sets the tone for the show's ruthless world.They break down season one through the lens of its four key grads—Harper, Yasmin, Robert, and Gus—exploring their backgrounds, ambitions, and moral compromises. They praise Gus's integrity, dissect Harper's calculated ruthlessness, and debate whether Yasmin's privilege shields or isolates her. A strong undercurrent of class and identity shapes the conversation, with both hosts reflecting on how different upbringings influence ambition in a world like Pierpoint.The episode ends with a powerful discussion of Harper's pivotal betrayal at the end of season one—when she chooses ambition over allegiance, takes down Daria, and secures her place beside Eric. Lydia and Manika agree: these aren't good people—but that's what makes them so compelling to watch.Lydia's SocialsTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@landoflydiaManika's SocialsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1CmokqeLIagz7nYQJfeRIwTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manika3000?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1Podcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/Thank you so much for listening to the podcast.

In this episode, Manika is joined by Maya (@bodegavanetta), a pop culture commentator and TikTok creator, for a cozy, spirited deep dive into the films of Nancy Meyers. The two kick things off reflecting on the golden age of tween girl movies and how the genre has all but disappeared. They reminisce about the joy and specificity of early 2000s hits like What a Girl Wants and Cadet Kelly, and mourn the loss of mid-budget coming-of-age stories that felt fun, earnest, and emotionally rich. Maya points out how today's film landscape leans heavily into aesthetics and “prestige,” often at the expense of heartfelt storytelling. What used to be a shared cultural experience is now fragmented by streaming platforms and driven by algorithms instead of vibes.The conversation naturally shifts to Nancy Meyers, a director whose work remains comforting, elegant, and emotionally layered. For both Manika and Maya, The Parent Trap was a formative film—one that shaped their ideas about family, womanhood, and storytelling. They discuss the film's complex emotional core, the fantasy of divorced parents reuniting, and how Lindsay Lohan's dual performance carries the movie with sincerity and charm. Meyers' attention to detail, especially in emotional beats and set design, is praised throughout the episode.From there, they move on to It's Complicated, a rom-com that embraces the messiness of middle-aged relationships and gives us a rare portrait of post-divorce desire. Manika and Maya appreciate the film's grounded portrayal of love and longing, noting how Meryl Streep's character is allowed to be flawed, funny, and desirable—something still too rare for women on screen. They reflect on how the film resists tying things up neatly and instead celebrates the freedom of ambiguity.Next up is The Holiday, another favorite for both. Maya highlights the significance of Jack Black being cast as a romantic lead and how that broke certain conventions around desirability in Hollywood. They talk about how The Holiday makes space for emotional vulnerability, friendship, and self-discovery, all while being set in two of the coziest cinematic homes of all time. The episode continues to explore how Meyers crafts stories that are aesthetically pleasing but never hollow—where the kitchens are iconic but so are the inner lives of her characters.Throughout the episode, Manika and Maya keep returning to the importance of joy in storytelling. They talk about how movies like Meyers' can be emotionally honest without being gritty, and why fun shouldn't be considered frivolous. The episode closes with a heartfelt appreciation for the way Nancy Meyers writes characters—especially women—who are allowed to be fully themselves: stylish, chaotic, competent, and full of longing.Maya's socialsTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@b0dega.venetamaya and fola takes over the world https://open.spotify.com/show/3hewyYLxSyrspCZh9gxGk8Carrd https://b0degaveneta.carrd.co/Manika's SocialsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1CmokqeLIagz7nYQJfeRIwTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manika3000?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1Podcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/Thank you so much for listening to the podcast.

After the death of the family patriarch and business mogul, Mr Logan, the real power struggle began among his family on who would have a say and whose ideas would be considered right. The end of the ‘Succession' TV series Season 4 shows that as much as family businesses are often praised for fostering a sense of unity and dedication, they may end up in disharmony, betrayal, and fighting. With time, these businesses may expand and transform into family conglomerates, which resemble more of a monarchy rather than a democratic business structure. Power and decision-making become concentrated within the hands of a few family members, limiting outside perspectives and potentially harming the business.  Join us on part 2 of this series that was on HBO for a while. The show is a peek into the life of the Roy family, who own a massive media company. The family has a lot of fighting, secrets, and drama because they all want to be the boss when the dad, Logan Roy, can't do it anymore. In Part 2, we still have Jordan Simmons. He is an expert in talking about movies and shows. You might have seen his stuff in The Cinema Spot and The DisInsider, and he also hosts The DisInsider's News podcast. [00:01] Reasons why Manika loves Season 2 [07:15] How Shiv loses composure and  courage after becoming her father's daddy girl [11:10] Outstanding attributes about Shiv in her relation to marriage [19:42] Why Tom was never a liked character [28:30] How Season 2 ends and overview of Season 3 [37:10] The messy Kendall's lavish 40th birthday party [40:32] How season 3 ends and start of season 4 [40:45] Why season 4 is more of Kendall's second half of season 1 [41:53] Connor's fiancee, Willa, and how she is much like Shiv [42:45] Death of Logan and the start of the real power struggle [44:26] The lack of emotional depth in the show [49:51] Key takeaway insights from the Succession series [52:51] The most favorite seasons of the series and the expectations [01:06:20] Final thoughts on the Succession TV series  [01:16:31] Ending the show and calls to action  Standout Quotes: “Shiv's marriage to Tom is a true reflection of society. Strong,  powerful women marrying mediocre men is not anything different from real life.”- [11:10] “When it comes to powerful people (like Shiv), they do not like somebody who is gushy or sarcastic. That is what made Tom such a boring character.”- [20:20] “With the Succession TV series, it is evident that  family businesses are good, but when they become family conglomerates, they become too much like a monarchy system.”- [49:51] Website: https://www.jordansimmons.net/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JordisTweeting Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/JordanATSimmons  DisInsider https://thedisinsider.com/ DisInsider Podcast https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDisInsider/featured The Cinema Spot https://www.thecinemaspot.com/category/editorials/ Podcast Socials Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/ Thank you so much for listening to the podcast.

JOIN US ON PATREON: patreon.com/ivebeenmeaningtowatch In this episode of I've Been Meaning to Watch That, Jocelyn, AKA Joc's Watchlist, talks about Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. "Hi, everyone! I'm Jocelyn, also known as Joc's Watch List on TikTok and Instagram. I talk about TV shows and movies, review them, and give recommendations. I also share a daily TV show guide, so if you're ever running out of things to watch, come follow me!" First things first: in the Can't Wait to Watch segment, we talk about the upcoming DC movie, Blue Beetle, in the shadow of recent DC drama. We're hoping that Blue Beetle will break the trend of DC's underperforming releases when it comes out in August. We also get into Warner Brothers' new plan to license HBO original series to Netflix. Is this a bad idea? What does it mean for the HBO-exclusive series? Is Netflix's “One Home Per Account” plan worth it? Is it time to cancel our subscriptions? Which streaming platform should we pick? Does Peacock offer good value? Hear our thoughts on Atlanta Housewives, our predictions for the upcoming Challengers movie after watching the trailer, the next seasons of Euphoria, our beef with HBO's The Idol, and other shows that we enjoyed – including The Sex Lives of College Girls, Never Have I Ever, Mr. Malcolm's List, and we reminisce about old shows. Then, we get into the main topic of the show: Queen Charlotte. How many episodes should it have had? We're not too surprised at the show's success, because, let's be honest, it's Shonda Rhimes, and the actors were also incredible. We're glad that Bridgerton is introducing black characters into period dramas, but should Julia Quinn be making money from the diversity in the shows? We look at how Queen Charlotte's priorities have changed as she aged, we try to piece together what the other characters' lives would've looked like if the show had been longer, and we try to imagine Queen Charlotte's origin story. In the final segment, Watchlist, we go through the shows that we're excited about and our recommendations. Timestamps [00:28] A bit about Joc's Watchlist. [01:09] Can't wait to watch: Blue Beetle.

Manika Dulcio of the 'I've Been Meaning to Watch That' podcast visits us with a dusty old board game from 2005 called Zathura: A Space Adventure, and before we know it, we're thrust into a wild sci-fi adventure with meteors, dinosaur aliens and frozen older sisters! Jon Favreau's first big effects movie has been eclipsed in popular culture by the first adaptation of a Chris Van Allsburg children's book, Jumanji – with which it bears a striking resemblance – but it has a lot going for it. It features early appearances by Josh Hutcherson and Kristen Stewart, with Dax Shepherd and Tim Robbins as the responsible adults, some striking visuals and a captivating combination of practical and CGI effects. But did it deserve to fall into the memory hole, or should a new generation of kids give it a spin? Find out! Check out Manika's podcast on iTunes, Spotify or wherever good podcasts are streamed!

JOIN OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenmeaningtowatch Have you had the chance to watch XO, Kitty? It's an enchanting American romantic comedy-drama series created by Jenny Han that's streaming on Netflix. The series made its debut on May 18, 2023, and serves as a captivating spin-off from the beloved To All the Boys film series, which itself is an adaptation of Han's enthralling book trilogy, To All the Boys I've Loved Before. What sets XO, Kitty apart is that it marks the first time Netflix has expanded a Netflix original film into a television series. Since its release, the show has garnered praise from critics, who have commended its compelling storyline and engaging characters. Such positive feedback prompted the series to be renewed for a second season in June 2023, further solidifying its popularity. In this episode, we are joined by KiKi, a journalist and avid viewer of movies and TV shows.

JOIN OUR PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenmeaningtowatch Constantine's movie, which initially aired in 2005 alongside the popular Supernatural show, continues to be a compelling topic for discussion. What adds to its intrigue is the recent revival of the franchise. In September 2022, the news broke that Constantine 2 was officially in development, sparking excitement among fans and reigniting interest in the original film. This raises the question of whether Constantine still holds up as an enjoyable watch, even after more than a decade since its release. In this episode, we are joined by Crystal and Grey from Busty Asian Beauties podcast, which is affiliated with Supernatural, a TV show that most of us have watched and are fun of. In the conversation, we touch on different aspects of the Constantine movie, including the main character, other notable figures, their roles, and performances. We also delve into the thought-provoking themes present in Constantine, particularly the heavy concepts and ideas surrounding life and death and the racial aspects.  Listen in and learn from our experience and takeaways from watching the Constantine show and how it compares with Supernatural and Good Omen. Stay to the end to hear our perspectives on why we will not choose to watch it again.

SEG Scholarships encourage the study of geophysics and related geosciences in universities worldwide. Due to the generosity of donors, the SEG offers a range of different scholarship opportunities to students all over the globe. In this special episode, we feature two scholarship recipients and the founder of a new Scholarship Program. Host Andrew Geary speaks first with Manika Prasad. Manika is a Colorado School of Mines professor passionate about students and diversity within the geosciences. She co-founded the SEG Educational Equity Scholarship in 2021 to support underrepresented students in their study area or that bring diversity to their attending university. Manika shares what she hopes this scholarship will achieve and why the SEG Scholarships matter to the industry's future. Next, we highlight two scholarship recipients: Juliet Nneamaka Ilechukwu and Sharmila Appini. They share how they learned about the SEG Scholarships and how it made them better students and geophysicists. They also share what the scholarships allowed them to achieve and one lesson they will take away from this experience. This episode will leave no doubt of the power of the SEG Scholarships to benefit the Society, geophysics, and individual lives. Since the number of scholarships available depends primarily upon the number of sponsors and the amounts they contribute, each donation matters. This episode will provide the reasons and the voices for how your donation could change the science of geophysics and someone's life. Listen to the full archive at https://seg.org/podcast.

She is passionate about students, geophysics, and diversity within the geosciences. Manika and Günter Fuchs recently established a scholarship endowment with the SEG Foundation in 2021. The SEG Educational Equity Scholarship was established to support students attending university anywhere in the world who are underrepresented in their area of study or that bring diversity to their attending university. The donor's intent was to promote and increase the representation of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) geoscientists. Applicants are asked to describe how their selection as a recipient will improve the diversity of the geosciences community in the country where they are attending university and how they or the SEG might help increase representation for their group in geosciences and SEG.
