Despite struggling to land on the same beat, Nick and Julie are still a part of the rhythm nation in an episode where musical interludes (and Rosie Perez impersonations) abound.

Bonus: Primal Fear Rewatch
This week we're sharing our bonus rewatch of the 1996 courtroom drama, Primal Fear. A Julie fave, it features a new-on-the-scene and impeccably creepy Edward Norton as a murder suspect and the slick and deliciously arrogant Richard Gere as a his lawyer. There are also amazing performances by Frances McDormand, Andre Braugher and Laura Linney and the distinct lack of justice you just don't see anymore.
Ep 174: Fear Everyone, Maybe Always | Our Flag Means Death, Survivor 45, Great British Bake Off
Nick’s obsessed with the gay pirates of Our Flag Means Death, Julie found powerpoint Tik Tok and conspiracy theorists and the Lulu tribe may be getting into fighting shape on Survivor 45. We’ve also got some entertaining tweets, mid stories and two games in one!

Takes 172: Beauties and Beasts | The Challenge USA, One Piece, Warrior Nun, The Super Models
Takes is in the upside down and Nick is devouring content while Julie gets lost in YouTube shorts, I mean Tik Tok. Nick joined our dearest James in watching One Piece and joined the lesbians in reinvigorating the Warrior Nun while Julie threw it back to the supermodels of the 90s. We reconvened to catch Wes Bergmann’s swan song on The Challenge USA and other patch-ripping nonsense.

It’s a teen drama filled episode with Julie inspiring an OC rewatch and then leaving the chat and Netflix dropping the second season of Heartstopper.

This month of pride might be wrapping up, but the festivities were this past weekend and Nick and Julie are still reveling in them.

141: I love your eggs! | The Last of Us, You People, RuPaul's Drag Race S15
Hi Gemstones! Julie and Nick are on their own this week, Emma is off taking care of our takes baby! Yay Emma! We miss her terribly, but comforted ourselves with talk of the most beautiful, sad episode of a mushroom zombie show EVER! Julie watched the "comedy" You People, while Nick continued his downward spiral by checking out Suits. There are many tweets to be had and a quick game of Heads Up!
Hope you had a great week and thanks so much for listening!

140: Maybe not such a Fungi! | The Last of Us, Traitors, RuPaul's Drag Race S15
We're still on baby watch, but had time for some terrifying tv! The fungus amongus on The Last of Us is still searing in our brains. Luckily the palette cleanser known as the Traitors has us learning to count and feeling smug! Nick continues his rewatch of the Bold Type and gives us the low down from down under at the Australian open. We discuss the snatch game from RuPaul and the real "friends" of Weho, and play a round of Blank Slate (with a surprise winner!) The Cotter's giggles are in full effect. Thanks so much for listening!
