  • Hey Hey Reel Talkers,

    Angi and Dr. Nikki are back and heading into Season 4 of Never Have I Ever, episodes 1 and 2, and oh my god, there are many issues to dig into, and we are digging in!

    Here are some of the important questions that we explore and open for you and your teen to discuss.

    1) Can you be "bad" at Sex? What makes someone "good" at sex?

    2) Should relationships be easy? Should there only be good feelings?

    3) Why do you think guys seem to like robotics more than girls?

    4) What is the "hot pocket". Who is the "hot pocket" in your life or school?

    5) Do we tend to be attracted to people who are not the best fit? Why do you think?

  • We are watching the season 1 finale episode 10 and the action never stops.

    Ginny and Austin hop on the motorcycle and ride off into the unknown evening.

    Do you feel like Ginny betrayed Max by not telling her about sleeping with Marcus? What do you think she is most upset about?

    If you were to run away where would you run to?

  • Hey Hey Reel Talkers,

    We are watching Ginny and Georgia episodes 5 and 6 and reel life thougths and demons are often scarier than any horror movie.

    There are so many great conversations waiting to happen in this episode and here are some questions to start the ball rolling.

    Is watching scary movies the prelude to nightmares? Should you let a young child watch a scary movie?

    Is Halloween a sexy holiday?

    Does the worst trouble come from fooling around? Should there be no fun?

    Hunter says: maybe she has her reasons for not telling Ginny about Maddie and Caleb, Hunter thinks its cool that she has new family. Are there any secrets you think are better left not talked about and why?

  • We are talking all things Ginny and Georgia Episodes 3 and 4.

    It is getting sticky and relationships are NOT EASY. Listen with your teen or talk to your teen and we hope you will be able to have those hard conversations with less worry, sadness or criticism.

    Here are some questions and talking points to consider. Whether you are the hippest or the most clueless mom...either way, you will get the conversation going with your teen to discuss ALL THE ACTION on Ginny & Georgia.

    What is Abbey doing with the duct tape? Is that a body dysmorphic syndrome? Is that a form of self harm? Why do you think she is feeling insecure? Is this different from wearing a girdle or spanx and why?

    How are our parents embarrassing and why?

    Do you like the way Max throws it all out there for love? When have you allowed yourself to be vulnerable in the last year?

  • Hey Reel Talkers,

    We are starting to dive into the complicated lives of Ginny and Georgia. Angi is a little leary about all of the confusing messages for young girls. I think that it is the best opportunity to tease out where we take in confusing messages about the way we influence people in a sexist society.

    Here are some great questions to begin with so you can have your first really great fun conversation.

    Georgiaā€™s philosophy is always either you screw someone or you are going to get screwed.

    Passion, Power do we always have to get something for sex? Do we always have to getsomething for everything we do?

    Do we believe that we can change our circumstance and then be happy, like Georgia movingall the time to flee her difficult situations?

    Is stability crucial for children in their formative years? What are the different ways you could feel stable or grounded?

    Do people usually do the opposite of what their parents are like? If the mom is not responsible than the childtakes on the responsibility?

  • Hey Reel Talkers! 

    Welcome to the season finale of Wednesday episode 7 and 8. 

    This finale is definitely all a finale should be.  Wednesday dies and then is reborn, a monster is caught and a mystery solved.  New friends, a first kiss and a breakup.  

    Here are some great questions to start the conversatioms:

    Do you believe that other peopleā€™s annoying habits are really annoying or do they remind you of something related to your past?

    Should we call people out on their annoying habits or work on being less annoyed?

  • Hey Hey Reel Talkers, 

    So exciting to continue to watch the wacky and wonderful adventures of Wednesday Addams episodes 5 and 6.  Pull up a piece of couch, a warm blanky and a fun snack and get ready to have better conversations with your teens than you ever thought possible. Here are some fun and meaningful questions to get the ball rolling. 

    Wednesday being hunted and almost killed being the best part of the school. Is there any way that angst could be considered good for learning? 

    Interesting that Enidā€™s mother considers her a huge disappointment because she is not doing what the family expects ā€œwolfing outā€. What does your family expect of based on culture, wants, religion and up-bringing?

  • Hey Reel Talkers,

    We are talking about WEDNESDAY, the Netflix series (Season 1 episode 5 and 6) and boy are things heating up.  Such great conversation to be had about trust and friendships.

    Ideas to talk over with your teen:

    Wednesday said being hunted and almost killed she considered one of  the best parts of attending Nevermore. Is there any way that angst could be considered healthy/good-for-you or valuable learning? 

    What does your family expect of YOU based on their culture, wants, religion and up-bringing?

    Wednesday mentions that Gomez taught her how to be strong and independent in a treacherous and prejudiced world. "As far as fatherhood goes, you were perfectly adequate."-- How have your parents been helpful in what they have tried to teach you?

  • Hey Reel Talkers,  

    Wednesday is back and more fearless than ever.  

    Episodes three and four will get the conversations between you and your teens flowing and you will have more fun and connection than you ever thought possible. 

    It's been shown that strong family relationships and conversation will decrease the incidence of future high risk behaviors.  

    Here are some great questions to start off the fun conversations: 

    Secrets are like zombies they never truly die. What secrets are you keeping that donā€™t seem to die? Would it be easier to just tell the truth or to continue to tell lies?

    Is there anyone that you are truly scared of? Do you believe in hell or revenge? Anyone in history or life ever really make you feel scared?

    There are monsters everywhere. What are the present day monsters that we are encountering? Diseases, racism etc?

  • Wednesday on Netflix.  Are you talking about this character with your teen yet?  Join us to listen and start better conversations with your own son & daughter!

    There are some great questions to talk about while watching Wednesday. 

    Do you ever have the impulse to seek revenge for someone who was mean to you?

    How can you show someone you love them without saying it?  

    In what ways are we more like our parents than we want to admit?

    Does crying mean that you're weak?

    Angi is talking with her 17 year old daughter about the character and what constitutes "niceness". How do we know someone is "nice" or "mean"?

    This is such an important topic when we think about the people we chose to have in our lives.  

    We will discuss emotional lessons for EVERY EPISODE, new podcasts out weekly.

    You'll have better and more conversations than you ever thought possible.

  • Angi and Dr. Nikki are discussing Never Have I Ever (TV show on Netflix) Season 3, episodes 7 and 8.  

    Seems like Devi is starting to let go of her sadness and find some joy in her relationship with Des.  BFFs Fabiola and Aneesa are trying to figure out the status of their relationship.  Let's talk about it.  A few light questions to find out what your teen thinks and get the conversation started.

    Aneesa and Fabiola came out as a couple and found themselves very awkward while kissing. What does it mean if kissing or hugging seeks awkward in a romantic relationship?

    Can you stay friends if you previously had a romantic relationship?

    Fewer Accusations.  More honesty.  

    More talk and more trust.

  • You and your children are completely worthy and lovable no matter what you do and can never lose it.  It is your birthright as a human on this planet!  I want you to find a picture of yourself and your child/children from under the age of 12 and memorize that image of innocence. You can always look at the essence of the person inside and remember the wonderful human being that you and your child/children are.

    More open conversations. Less Drama

  • Using Teen TV as a launch point for discussions on Emotional Well-Being. 

    Ben and Devi share that relentless obsession to prove that they are smart.  Insight into the male perspective on insecurity here.

    Checking out Never Have I Ever  on NETFLIX (Season 3 episodes 5 and 6).  Looks like maybe Ben is lovable (no matter where he goes to college).  Sometimes we can make ourselves sick just trying to impress other people.

  • Ever notice how we all (not just teens) look for someone else to approve of us...so that we can feel like worthy/good/valuable humans? Why do we DO that? Is it possible to know that you are a great person even if that CRUSH doesn't tell you that?

    Angi and Dr. Nikki are diving deep into Never Have I Ever Season 3 episodes 3 and 4.  Can we expect that a relationship  (or anything external?!?!??) will make you feel whole, satisfied or confident?  Will I be confident if I have another piercing? If I have the right clothes? If I say the right thing?  

    Grab some popcorn and start talking.  

    More conversations, more insights.  Less door slamming.
