606 - Catastrophe
01:04:22
Rob and Sharon sittin' in a tree, C-A-T-A-S-TRO-PHE. First comes fling, then comes baby, then comes the best marriage on TV... maybe. Join the gals as they contemplate what constitutes true romance, the pros and cons of finding love later in life, and how Chris Noth makes the perfect dirtbag (note: this episode was recorded before the assault allegations against him were brought to light... otherwise it definitely would have come up).

603 - A Bit of Fry & Laurie
00:54:48
Kaley and Steff are in an appropriately silly mood (though not in an appropriately articulate mental state... thanks, COVID) as they discuss the classic sketch collaboration of two national treasures, A Bit of Fry & Laurie. Also, Steff argues for the trendiness of a certain sexual activity, and Kaley retracts a 3-year-old statement about wigs.

601 - Staged
01:18:16
After a long hiatus, Kaley and Steff return triumphant--pantless, a little flabby, and lightly traumatized--with a frequently meandering conversation about Staged, the expertly crafted and hilariously self-aware Zoom-based pandemic comedy to end all Zoom-based pandemic comedies (please).

506 - Fleabag
01:40:24
Kaley and Steff dive into the dark, cheeky, heartbreaking world of Fleabag to talk hot priests, wicked stepmothers, and bangable US presidents.
Jun 16, 2020
505 - The Thick of It
01:28:16
The scathingly funny political satire The Thick of It prompts discussion of fragile masculinity, child pornography*, and of course, the dumpster fire currently occupying the White House.
(*We keep it lighthearted, but if this is a trigger for you, consider yourself warned.)

504 - Bottom
01:32:26
Cabin fever sets in right on schedule as the ladies giddily and enthusiastically explore Bottom (ooer!) during the first of their episodes recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. A show about two sad, desperate loners who rarely leave their flat and harbor no hope for the future? It's like looking in a mirror.

503 - Black Books
01:17:46
Steff and Kaley discuss the seductiveness of book shops (remember those?), the absurdity of employment, and acts of embarrassingly optimistic self-sabotage in this conversation about the delightfully zany sitcom Black Books. (*Note: this is the last of the pre-pandemic episodes, so don't worry; things'll get weird next week.)
