Show Notes
Off Campus has it all! We're obsessed. In this episode of Previously On, Jillian Bonanne is joined by her friend and teen drama enthusiast Kenny Marshall to break down the pilot episode of Off Campus, "The Deal" and discuss why this show had us hooked almost immediately. From Garrett Graham's very memorable introduction (yes, we're talking about the bare butt) to Hannah and Allie's instantly lovable friendship, to the fake dating setup that had us kicking and screaming, we're diving into everything that made this premiere such a strong start. We also discuss why Off Campus feels like the spiritual successor to One Tree Hill, how Garrett and Hannah give major Nathan and Haley energy, and why this series deserves to be appreciated as its own thing rather than compared to every other popular romance show. And because this pilot had us completely sold, we're counting down our Top 5 "Moments That Had Me Saying, "Oh, I'm Going to Be Obsessed With This Show" including Garrett's secret Instagram stalking, Hannah's performance of "The Bitch Is Back," the Taylor Swift references, and the scene that had me buying stock in Garrett & Hannah. We're breaking down the biggest moments that convinced us Off Campus is our newest TV addiction.

This week on Previously On This Week, we're talking about the casting news, TV obsessions, book boyfriends, and upcoming romances that have completely taken over my brain! First up, the Fourth Wing adaptation finally has its Violet and Xaden! I'm breaking down the casting of Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya, why I'm already obsessed, and why everyone needs to trust the process. Plus, I'm officially a Felicity girl! I'm watching the iconic '90s teen drama for the first time, and I have THOUGHTS about the love triangle of the century. Spoiler alert: I'm Team Ben, and I'm not backing down. We're also talking about the return of HBO's Girls, Milo Manheim entering his rom-com era with a Serendipity remake, and my latest Off Campus book obsession as I make my way through John Logan and Grace's love story in The Mistake. Plus, I'm sharing my love for the new Sense and Sensibility, the upcoming Bella from Barney's series from the creators of Gossip Girl and The O.C., and Harry Styles' emotional tribute to Liam Payne that had this One Direction girl in tears. And of course, we're looking ahead to what's next, including Nobody Wants This Season 3 and the Formula 1 romance Drive: The Pretenders. Fake engagement? Enemies to lovers? Racing drivers? SIGN ME UP. It's another week of fictional men, nostalgic TV, romance, and absolutely no chill. Let's get into it!

Netflix is officially back in its teen drama era, and I'm breaking down everything I loved about Crew Girl! From elite boarding school drama and underdog sports moments to a love triangle that's already dividing us, this show has all the ingredients of our favorite YA dramas. This week on Previously On, I'm diving into Tegan's unexpected move to Eagles Cove, her journey from outsider to the heart of the Easton crew team, and the friendships that made us fall in love with this group. I'm counting down our Top 5 "The Crew Finally Became a Crew" Moments, breaking down the Cam vs. Josh love triangle (and revealing which team I'm on!), and discussing all those season finale cliffhangers. Plus, I'm talking Josh's redemption arc, Tegan's complicated family drama, the future of Easton's girls' rowing team, and everything I'm hoping to see in Season 2. Because who knew a show about rowing could have us this emotionally invested in the stroke seat?! Grab your oars, pick your team, and let's get into it! Spoilers ahead for Crew Girl Season 1
In this episode of Previously On, Jillian is joined by Tyler to talk all about Prime Video’s The Love Hypothesis, a STEM rom-com that takes fake dating and awkward (but hot) scientists finding love, and turns it into exactly the kind of movie we love talking about. Jillian gets into reading the book, its Reylo fanfic origins, and why she didn't know what to make of the movie at first, but it ended up winning her over in the end, and Tyler gives his official take as someone who, according to Jillian, looks like he works in a lab. Then we’re counting down our Top 5 Incorrect Hypotheses because these smart scientists get a lot wrong. We break down Olive’s feelings for Jeremy, everyone putting Tom Benton on a pedestal, the discovery that Dr. Evil might actually have a heart, and the biggest scientific error of them all: Olive believing the dating was ever really fake. We also rank some of this year’s rom-coms and talk about where The Love Hypothesis lands in the fake-dating hall of fame.
The Pogues have officially reached the end of the road. Jillian is joined by Claire to break down the fifth and final season of Outer Banks and say goodbye to one of our favorite teen dramas. After five seasons of treasure hunts, near-death experiences, international adventures, and some truly unhinged decisions, did the series stick the landing? We look back at our Season 5 predictions (including Jillian’s slightly delusional Kiara and Rafe agenda), discuss how the show handled the aftermath of JJ’s death, and why this finally felt like Kiara’s season. Plus, we get into Rafe’s full-circle storyline, John B. and Sarah’s happy ending, the return of familiar faces, the Royal Merchant gold coming back into play, and why the final hurricane was the perfect way to bring the story back to its Season 1 roots. Then, for our final Outer Banks Top 5, we’re counting down the Top 5 Full-Circle Moments We Loved, from bringing back Pogues vs. Kooks to storylines we thought the show had forgotten completely. We also rank all five seasons and talk about why, no matter how wild this show got, the friendship, found family, romance, and absolute chaos kept us coming back. Five seasons. Six years. Countless stolen boats. Somehow even more treasure. We’ll miss you, Pogues. And don’t worry — if that Outer Banks prequel happens, we’ll be back.
