As I unboxed And Just Like That episode 109, I couldn't help but wonder: Will I ever stop cravin' me some Che?  Got a burning question about a relationship or friendship problem (or really anything Sex and the City adjacent)? Just record a voice memo on your phone and email it to AndJustLikeMatt@gmail.com and Matt will answer your question on the show with his very fancy guests.

BIG NEWS! We've always wanted to learn more about the creators behind the shows we watch — and this week we start asking them!  We interviewed iZombie writer Sara Saedi about how she started writing and how the team approached writing cases and love stories in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. We have a little teaser for that interview in this episode ahead of the full interview next week.  Of course there's still our patented guesses and randomness, including: Who would win in a show show-down between iZombie and Lucifer? Is it a Head of Hair, or Head of Hair Department? And does a zombie show actually deliver the most realistic depiction of detective work we've ever seen? Don't make us go full Romero! Start listening now!  We watched iZombie, Season 4 Episode 11 on Netflix.  Hey!

In Americanized, bright-eyed, straight-A student Sara Saedi uncovered a terrible secret at age thirteen: she was breaking the law simply by living in the United States. Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn’t learn of her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for an after-school job, but couldn’t because she didn’t have a Social Security number. Fear of deportation kept Sara up at night, but it didn’t keep her from being a teenager. She desperately wanted a green card, along with clear skin, her own car, and a boyfriend. Americanized follows Sara’s progress toward getting her green card, but that’s only a portion of her experiences as an Iranian-“American” teenager. From discovering that her parents secretly divorced to facilitate her mother’s green card application to learning how to tame her unibrow, Sara pivots gracefully from the terrifying prospect that she might be kicked out of the country at any time to the almost-as- terrifying possibility that she might be the only one of her friends without a date to the prom. Americanized combines the timely topic of immigration with a poignant and engaging voice that young readers won’t be able to put down! Saedi is joined by Talia Gonzalez, actor and writer for television shows such as Teen Wolf and iZombie.
