On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. While this episode wasn't as novel and creative as season 1's "The Boy From 6B," it did offer a new take by relying a lot on found footage from hidden cameras. As parents who want to keep abreast of what our kids are up to, we can relate.
Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E7 of Only Murders in the Building, “Valley of the Dolls.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was a Boone/Shannon flashback, where we found out more about their... unusual sibling relationship. And on the island, we're wondering where the urgency is on finding Claire, who's been missing for quite some time now.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 14, "Special." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 6 of Only Murders in the Building. -

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is another nonfiction, memoir-ish pick called All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley, which chronicles the author's ten-year stint as a guard at the museum. Mentioned: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, also set at the Met.
Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the DWTS ballroom, where Dwight and Daniella pulled off a beautiful foxtrot and our fave Stephen showed he could do more than jive. The less said about the eliminated Anna the better. Mentioned: Champions, with Kaitlyn Olson, who we're seeing a lot during DWTS in ads for her new show, High Potential; and Terri's Substack, Too Old for Cool.
In the archives, we headed all the way back to 2017 to discuss our assertion that parenting is not a panacea.
Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E13, "Hearts and Minds," on Tuesday, October 1Only Murders in the Building S4 E6, "Blow-Up," on Wednesday, October 2Weekly roundup (not including DWTS, as the show will be off for the week) on Thursday, October 3
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. -
On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This season isn't hitting as well as past ones have, except when Detective Williams comes in to be the mom and lay down the law. We'd like more of that and less of Hollywood making fun of itself.
Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E6 of Only Murders in the Building, “Blow-Up.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup (which will include a chat about the September 24 episode of Dancing with the Stars). -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode's punny title is a sign that it's a pretty lightweight one, despite the presence of three dead and decomposing bodies. It's a Kate flashback episode, and she flashes a lot of her backside, too.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 13, "Hearts and Minds." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 5 of Only Murders in the Building. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find grabbed her attention with its dramatic subtitle. It's a memoir by Megan Nix called Remedies for Sorrow: An Extraordinary Child, A Secret Kept from Pregnant Women, and a Mother's Pursuit of the Truth, which is a compelling mix of family tale and investigative journalism.
Terri's random recommendation is on hiatus for the moment as we return to the Dancing with the Stars ballroom. Terri's all in for Pommel Horse Guy Stephen Nedoroscik, who was absolutely delightful (and absolutely underscored) in his first outing. Catherine's a PHG fan too, but also wants to see more of rugby player Ilona Maher. And both anticipate a lot of creativity from Daniella (5'3") choreographing for her partner Dwight Howard (6'11").
In the archives, we journey back to 2019 to discuss all the ways we try (and usually fail) to manage stress and worry. Mentioned: Trello and Artful Agenda.
Next week's lineup:
Lost S1 E12, "Whatever the Case May Be," on Tuesday, September 24Only Murders in the Building S4 E5, "Adaptation," on Wednesday, September 25Weekly roundup (including DWTS) on Thursday, September 26
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. -
On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This episode continued its focus on the Westie side of the building, but also gave us a look at Sazz's stuntman life. Mentioned: Stuntman movie The Fall Guy and its star Ryan Gosling in Barbie (at the Oscars and on SNL) and Crazy Stupid Love (warning, 13-year-old spoilers await at that link); the upcoming movie His Three Daughters. Oh, and we also talked about the likely cost of a leg of shower ham.
Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E5 of Only Murders in the Building, “Adaptation.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup (which will include a chat about the September 17 premiere of the new season of Dancing with the Stars). -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode has "daddy issues" right in the title, so you know it's going to be a doozy. And it was, with lots of flashbacks to Jack's Bad Dad and some pretty bad stuff happening on mystery island, too.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 12, "Whatever the Case May Be." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 4 of Only Murders in the Building. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find caught her eye thanks to our recent watch of A Gentleman in Moscow. It's a children's book called The Apartment: A Century of Russian History by Alexandra Litvina, illustrated by Anna Desnitskaya and translated by Antonina W. Bouis. It covers six generations of a family and their life in the titular apartment.
Terri's random recommendation is a new way to get your morning dose of pumpkin spice: Special K Pumpkin Spice cereal. Happy fall, y'all!
In the archives, we discussed the ways we've been mortifying our children since 2019 (not to mention long before that).
Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E11, "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues," on Tuesday, September 10Only Murders in the Building S4 E3, "Two for the Road," on Wednesday, September 11Weekly roundup on Thursday, September 12
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. -
On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. And while this week's episode was indeed set in The Building, it had a Hollywood flavor that we didn't love. We're hoping the three actors hightail it back to LA very soon. Mentioned: "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" (from OMITB season 3) gets an Emmy; the Perfect Strangers theme song on The Leftovers.
Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E4 of Only Murders in the Building, “The Stunt Man.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. On this week's episode, we had a great deal of drama in both the flashbacks (as Claire encountered both a bad dad and a very bossy psychic) and on the island (hold on a minute, this guy's name isn't on the passenger manifest!).
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 11, "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues." Tomorrow, it's season 4, episode 3 of Only Murders in the Building. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a brightly colored, punny way to introduce little ones to the joys of grammar: Comparrotives, which is part of a whole Grammar Zoo.
Terri's random recommendation is musical again this week: She's been listening to Post Malone's F-1 Trillion on repeat. It's a double album featuring collaborations with a lot of big-time country names, from Morgan Wallen to Dolly Parton. Her top two earworms, so far, are "Missing You Like This" (featuring Luke Combs) and "Hide My Gun" (with Terri fave HARDY).
In the archives, we discussed parenting-themed reality show challenges and how poorly we'd do at them (originally from 2021).
Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E10, "Raised by Another," on Tuesday, September 10Only Murders in the Building S4 E3, "Two for the Road," on Wednesday, September 11Weekly roundup on Thursday, September 12
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. -
On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Episode 2 brought back some old favorites from way back in season 1, as well as another round of Stars Stopping By to Be Suspects. Catherine apologizes to Jackie Hoffman for forgetting her name and her character's name: Uma!. Mentioned: The card game Oh Hell, which figured prominently in this episode.
Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E3 of Only Murders in the Building, “Two for the Road.” We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. Terri's re-watching, and Catherine's wading into the madness for the first time. On this week's episode, the main character was Sayid. His backstory provided no shocking twists, but his current story sure did.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 10, "Raised by Another." Tomorrow, we'll discuss season 4, episode 2 of Only Murders in the Building. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a reminder that libraries are far more than just books. You can also check out an '80s-themed murder mystery game set in a shopping mall! Mentioned: "Let's Go to the Mall" from How I Met Your Mother.
Terri's random recommendation is a reminder that sporting events in Paris are not over for the year. You can still watch the Paralympic Games, and you should! Here's how and where to watch, and an extensive list of relevant social media accounts to follow. Mentioned: Stephen Nedoroscik, aka Pommel Horse Guy, will compete on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars. It starts September 17, and we'll be watching. Also mentioned: DWTS winner Laurie Hernandez's Olympic gymnastics analysis.
In the archives, we discussed parenting job descriptions and how they've changed, or haven't, since 2018.
Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E9, "Solitary," on Tuesday, September 3Only Murders in the Building S4 E2, "Gates of Heaven," on Wednesday, September 4Weekly roundup on Thursday, September 5
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. -
On Wednesdays (rescheduled from Tuesdays), we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. We've sadly come to the end of A Gentleman in Moscow, a limited series on Paramount+. In the final episode, "Adieu," Alexander says some very difficult goodbyes. Have your monogrammed hankie ready.
Only Murders in the Building kicked off its fourth season with a cross-country round trip before ending up back in the building... where there was another murder. There was a lot of hand-holding and sign-pointing for a 30-minute episode, but we're happy to spend more time with these characters (and a very lengthy list of celebs stopping by in cameo roles). Mentioned: "Some Very Good Dogs" on Substack.
Next week, we’ll discuss S4 E2 of Only Murders in the Building, “Gates of Heaven.” We'll be back tomorrow with a roundup of some of our favorite segments, like a library find and a visit to our archives. -
Each Tuesday (formerly each Wednesday, but stay tuned for new shows tomorrow instead), we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week, we got more of Sawyer's backstory, aka why he hates himself and wants everyone else to hate him too.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 9, "Solitary." Tomorrow, we'll say "Adieu" to A Gentleman in Moscow and "Hello" to season 4 of Only Murders in the Building. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a children's book that maybe scared Terri a little: Little Red and the Big Bad Editor, by Rebecca Kraft Rector with illustrations by Shanda McCloskey.
Terri's random recommendation is a follow-up to her movie games rec from last month: A movie game/community on Substack called Movie Fight Club. (And don't forget about her own Substack, Too Old for Cool!).
In the archives, we discussed some unexpected back-to-school advice from 2021 and today. Mentioned: The Scrambled States of America.
Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E8, "Confidence Man," on Tuesday, August 27 (we're swapping our Tuesday and Wednesday schedules to accommodate Tuesday episode drops of Only Murders in the Building)A Gentleman in Moscow E8, "Adieu," and Only Murders in the Building season 4 E1, "Once Upon a Time in the West" on Wednesday, August 28Weekly roundup on Thursday, August 29
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available. -
Each Wednesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week, the flashback dial spun to Charlie, so we got to find out about his story and also see him become a hero and quit heroin, so that's quite a win for him.
Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 8, "Confidence Man"; we're switching our Lost discussions from Wednesdays to Tuesdays to accommodate Only Murders in the Building on Wednesdays. We'll be back tomorrow with a roundup of some of our favorite segments, like a library find and a visit to our archives. -
On Tuesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's A Gentleman in Moscow, a limited series on Paramount+. In episode 7, "An Assembly," Alexander has to face some hard facts: His little girl is growing up, and he's going to have to let her go--and go far, far away.
Next week, we'll discuss the finale of the series, "Adieu." We'll also kick off our next series watch: Only Murders in the Building, season 4! Since those are dropping on Tuesdays, we'll be discussing them on our Wednesday episodes and switch Lost to Tuesdays. But for this week, Lost is still our Wednesday show, so we'll be back tomorrow with that discussion. - Mostrar mais
