Show Notes

Welcome BACK to the party! Grab your drink and join us for another Brunch Binge. This episode, we’re diving into the theme: Movies With a Character that Finally Chooses Themselves As always, the theme was chosen by our wheel (stacked with ideas from us), and each of us brought a movie to the table that we felt fit (sometimes perfectly… sometimes questionably). For this episode, we’re discussing:

The First Wives Club (1996) – chosen by Jimmy Carrie (1976) – chosen by Jeannette Life (1999) – chosen by Winston

We each break down our picks, share reactions, ask probably too many questions, and try to figure out what these movies are actually saying about the theme. Then we bring it all together by comparing notes, choosing our favorite of the episode, rating them and wrapping it all up with our final thesis on Movies With a Character That Finally Chooses Themselves. And of course… we spin the wheel to decide what’s next. If you like what you hear (or don’t ), we want to hear from you!

Welcome BACK to the Party! Grab yourself a nice drink and join us for our Brunch Binge! It's Blood Brunch time AGAIN(Finally)! Saddle up and join us down in Bon Temps for our binge of HBO's True Blood. Accents, Vampires, Sex and Mysteries! The only thing that makes this better is that we talk about it all over some drinks and occasionally food. The Brunch Binge Trio is back after some time apart. We're in new places as we've changed, the world has changed and soon the podcase will change too. But before Brunch Binge 2.0 takes flight, we're going back to Bon Temps! We put on our best Louisiana accents, pour a couple of drinks and do something a little different. Jeannette and Winston will try their best to recall Season 7 to Jimmy who only watched a select number of episodes, which good on him. We discuss the absolute mess of season 7 including the shocking deaths, the rushed romances and the places these characters we've sorta loved end up. We also reflect on the series overall.

We discuss the Warlow of it all, the Vampire-in-prison plot that made us "ugh" and meet "Billith". We can't wait to talk about it and then maybe never talk about it again?
