On Wednesdays, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking, and an episode that gave us quite a lot of parenting and therapizing and dads trying to overcome daddy issues (plus Gabby trying to manage her complicated family, too). Good on the dads and surrogate dad figures! But at least one other storyline is going someplace we'd rather not follow.

Next week, we'll watch season 2, episode 7, "Get in the Sea.” (Yes, we're watching this a few weeks behind its initial drops. That's parenting for you!) We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Weekly Roundup: “The Girl Who Reads on the Métro,” Clockify, and Negative Self-Talk 27:57

acum 4 zile27:57

27:57

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a slim, slightly twee French novel, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro by Christine Feret-Fleury. She doesn't give it a full-throated endorsement, but if you'd like to vicariously visit Paris and you love books, you might enjoy this. (And if you'd like to help us define the words "quirky" and "zany," leave us a comment on Instagram , X , or Facebook ). Terri's random recommendation this week is a productivity tool she's trying called Clockify . It's helping her work with her distractible tendencies, instead of fighting against them. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2020 on the challenges of turning negative self-talk around , in our kids and even in ourselves. Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E13, "The Long Con," on Tuesday, March 18 A Man on the Inside S1 E8, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," on Wednesday, March 19 Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 20 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . While this week's episode did return to the mystery ostensibly at the heart of the show (and end on a cliffhanger, of course), it was still mostly about the melancholies of aging, with a hefty side of parent-child conflict. Cheery! Next Wednesday, we'll watch the season 1 finale, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold." 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 nearly unrelentingly sad for the lead character, Charlie. A brief Hurley/Libby frustration was the only relief from the nightmares and flashbacks to nightmarish real-life events. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 13, "The Long Con." Tomorrow, we're back with our sitcom, A Man on the Inside .…

Weekly Roundup: “I Worked Hard on That!,” AI Everywhere, and Like Talking to a Brick Wall 21:59

acum 11 zile21:59

21:59

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a picture book called I Worked Hard on That! by Robyn Wall with pictures by A.N. Kang. It stars a cute (really!) spider whose web-weaving efforts are frequently thwarted. We also recommend a scroll down Wall's list of other titles , including My First Book of Beards , "a super-stylish board book for babies and toddlers with bearded dads" (really!). Terri's random recommendation this week is more of an observation: AI is everywhere! There's Claude , Grok , ChatGPT , and more, with some useful applications and some less so. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2019 on how sharing our words of wisdom sometimes feels like talking to a brick wall . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E12, "Fire + Water," on Tuesday, March 10 A Man on the Inside S1 E7, "From Russian Hill with Love," on Wednesday, March 11 Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 12 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . Last week, we complained that the mystery (the alleged driver of the plot) had been forgotten and been replaced by a melancholy look at aging. This week, things got even sadder as one of Charles's friends died. However, at least we got some Charles-Emily scenes, even if they were about the lack of communication between father and daughter. Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 7, "From Russian Hill with Love." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost . In case you've forgotten, this episode would like to inform you once again that Jack has a savior complex. But he's also realized that he needs an army to take on The Others, so that's next on his to-do list. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 12, "Fire + Water."

Weekly Roundup: “Toto,” “Waitress,” and One-Star Reviews of Parenting Experiences 27:23

acum 18 zile27:23

27:23

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is Toto , by A.J. Hackwith , which is a look at the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Toto the dog. He tells us, "I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?" which sounds like a take we'd like to hear. Terri's random recommendation this week is a filmed version of a stage production of Waitress , starring Sara Bareilles and streaming on Max. We've talked about the show and the movie before, and Terri found this an enjoyable way to make use of her Max subscription. Mentioned: A song from the show, "She Used to Be Mine," performed by Jeremy Jordan , Jessie Mueller , and the show's creator, Sara Bareilles . In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2021 on one-star reviews of parenting experiences . Mentioned: " 7 Surprisingly Busy Days in the Life of an Experimental Theater Maker " at the New York Times (gift link). Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E11, "The Hunting Party," on Tuesday, March 4 A Man on the Inside S1 E6, "Our Man in Sacramento," on Wednesday, March 5 Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 6 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . This episode strayed rather far from the spy premise of the show, and we're wondering when it'll find its way back. And when we'll see Emily and her kids again. Come on! Put those kids on the phone, at least! Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 6, "Our Man in Sacramento." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

This week, it's Mr. Eko's turn for flashbacks telling his complicated and violent backstory, while he and Charlie search the jungle for the wreckage of the Beechcraft plane. The Smoke Monster returns and so do the computer messages from Walt (or someone claiming to be Walt). Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 11, "The Hunting Party."

Weekly Roundup: “The Great Poop Contest,” Rosary Rings, and Life Skill Blind Spots 24:27

acum 25 zile24:27

24:27

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is from the Scatological Department of the children's section (not a real thing, but why isn't it?). It's The Great Poop Contest by Rafael Ordonez. Mentioned: Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard. Terri's random recommendation this week is rosary rings , which are useful in the dentist's chair, the passenger seat, and anywhere else you need a little prayerful distraction. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2020 on life skill blind spots . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E10, "The 23rd Psalm," on Tuesday, February 25 A Man on the Inside S1 E5, "Presents and Clear Danger," on Wednesday, February 26 Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 27 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . In this episode, we missed seeing or hearing from Emily and her family, and we felt sorry for Charles as he made friends and then realized he'd need to betray them to do his job. But there were still a few of the hijinks we've come to expect. Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 5, "Presents and Clear Danger." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost . While we've already had many a hint as to what Kate did, this week's episode breaks it all down for us, entering Kate into the Bad Parent sweepstakes with entries from her mom, dad, and stepfather. On the island, things get weirder in the hatch as Michael gets a message from his son, who's possibly grabbing some unauthorized screen time. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 10, "The 23rd Psalm." Tomorrow, we're back with our sitcom, A Man on the Inside .…

Weekly Roundup: “Custodians of Wonder,” “Scrubs,” and Real-Life Conversation Hearts 19:25

acum 5 weeks19:25

19:25

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find comes from the adult nonfiction section this week: Custodians of Wonder: Ancient Customs, Profound Traditions, and the Last People Keeping Them Alive by Eliot Stein. She can't vouch for the author (yet) but thinks this could be an entertaining and illuminating trip around the world. Terri's random recommendation this week is the sitcom Scrubs , which ran from 2001 to 2010. She's watching it for the first time for two reasons: She's a Bill Lawrence fan (see: Shrinking ) and she needs to justify her Hulu subscription. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2023 on real-life conversation hearts . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E9, "What Kate Did," on Tuesday, February 18 A Man on the Inside S1 E4, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class," on Wednesday, February 19 Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 20 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside . In this episode, we found out that you can't escape the PTA, even in a senior living residence, and that Charles and his daughter make a great team. Mentioned: a Spectrum TV ad in which a kid springs a project on his dad at bedtime, LinkedIn games , a hot buttered rum recipe (slightly more complicated than Terri's version). and Tom and Jerry batter . Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 4, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

The meeting of the tail-section and mid-section survivors seemed to be more of a gentle tap than a violent collision, but it led us to the Reunions Montage at the end: Sawyer and Kate! Michael and Vincent! Rose and Bernard! Sun and Jin! Jack and some woman he met in a bar at the airport! Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 9, "What Kate Did." Tomorrow, we're back with our sweet sitcom, A Man on the Inside .…

Weekly Roundup: “Animal Snoops,” one sec, and the Best and Worst Times of Day 20:49

acum 6 weeks20:49

20:49

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find ties in nicely with our new TV series watch, A Man on the Inside . It's a nonfiction children's book called Animal Snoops: The Wondrous World of Wildlife Spies by Peter Christie. Check it out if you've got a kid who's fascinated by fauna, or by covert ops. Terri's random recommendation this week is one sec , a productivity tool available as an app or a browser extension. It makes you pause and think about what you're doing before you open a social media feed, or any other time-sucking online place. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2021 on the best and worst times of day for parents . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E8, "Collision," on Tuesday, February 11 A Man on the Inside S1 E3, "The Emily Always Rings Twice," on Wednesday, February 12 Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 13 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. We recently started the Netflix comedy series A Man on the Inside . Ted Danson stars as Charles, a widower who's hired to go undercover at a retirement home to solve a burglary case. But there's plenty of parenting to be found here, as Charles's daughter Emily deals with three teens doing stupid teen things.

And what's been happening is pretty grim. Their leader, Ana Lucia, has all the responsibilities of a leader with absolutely no benefits. As moms, we relate. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 8, "Collision." Tomorrow, we're kicking off a new series watch: A Man on the Inside .…

acum 7 weeks20:58

20:58

Here's what we're watching, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is an old Hallmark movie called Christmas at Cartwright's that grabbed her attention with its name--since she used to share it. To her knowledge, there aren't any real department stores called Cartwright's, though. Terri's random recommendation this week is also store-adjacent. She suggests visiting a Barnes & Noble cafe for lunch. She and her family particularly recommend the Caprese sandwich, grilled cheese, spinach feta pretzels, and raspberry cheesecake. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2020 on family rituals . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E7, "The Other 48 Days," on Tuesday, February 4 A Man on the Inside S1 E2, "The Man Who Knew Too Much About Bridges," on Wednesday, February 5 Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 6 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Meanwhile, Locke adds to his Island Dad cred by teaching Claire how to swaddle the baby. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 7, "The Other 48 days."

Weekly Roundup: “Cranky,” “Shrinking” Playlists, and Pondering Praise 17:55

acum 8 weeks17:55

17:55

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is Cranky , by Phuc Tran with illustrations by Pete Oswald. It's a picture book starring a crabby crane who does not want to talk about what's bothering him, so don't ask! Mentioned: The Food Group series , also illustrated by Oswald. Terri's random recommendation this week is some Apple synergy: Apple Music playlists from our beloved Shrinking (an Apple TV+ show). You can listen to songs from season 1 and season 2 (that one includes the extended, very profane version of " Cheater B*tch "). Mentioned: " Collateral " (which plays just before the accident Louis causes) and " Looking Too Closely " (from the final minutes of season 2). In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2022 on pondering praise . Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E6, "Abandoned," on Tuesday, January 28 A Man on the Inside S1 E1, "Tinker Tailor Older Spy," on Wednesday, January 29 Weekly roundup on Thursday, January 30 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every week, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking . It wrapped up this week with a grand gesture of forgiveness befitting of the season's theme. It also added "magnanimous" to Derrick 2's character traits, to go along with "hot." We'll miss these characters a lot and are looking forward to season 3 (coming in 2026). Next week, we'll kick off a new series watch: A Man on the Inside , a Michael Schur-helmed show starring Ted Danson and Stephanie Beatriz. Episode 1 is called "Tinker Tailor Older Spy" and it's on Netflix. We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.…

This episode went nowhere, much like our survivors; it gave us a bit more of Sun and Jin's story in flashback, but nothing very important. We could, however, relate to both Sun's and Michael's foolhardy desperation to do something in a situation they can't control. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 6, "Abandoned." Tomorrow, it's Shrinking , season 2, episode 12 (the season finale).…

Weekly Roundup: “The Change,” Rosary in a Year Podcast, and Reserving Our Judgment 18:47

acum 9 weeks18:47

18:47

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is The Change by Kirsten Miller, a novel of revenge and crime-fighting fueled by menopausal women's rage (which made it very satisfying). Terri's random recommendation this week is the Rosary in a Year podcast , a chart-topper offering a deep dive into this prayer (perfect for the new year). Mentioned: The Bible in a Year podcast and the Catechism in a Year podcast . In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2021 on reserving our judgment (or at least trying to). Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E5, "...and Found," on Tuesday, January 21 Shrinking S2 E12, "The Last Thanksgiving," on Wednesday, January 22 Weekly roundup on Thursday, January 23 Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.…

Every week, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking. This episode included one unnecessary break-up, one child who gave a parent a dose of their own medicine, and one person who's possibly in the wrong profession. Mentioned: Disney adults and a women-hanging-out scene from Jerry Maguire. Next week, we'll watch the finale of season 2, "The Last Thanksgiving.” (Yes, we're watching this a few weeks behind its initial drops. That's parenting for you!)

Weekly Roundup: Newspapers.com, Recent Reads, and Parenting Best-Sellers 28:22

acum 10 weeks28:22

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a resource that you can most likely find at your own library: Newspapers.com , a repository of archives from all over the U.S. and six other countries. Find your great-grandparents' wedding announcement or read up on crimes like the Panama Hat Heist of 1904. Terri's random recommendation this week is not one, but three books: Two she's recently finished, and one she's just starting. She finished (and loved) A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles and enjoyed Jim O'Heir's memoir about Parks & Rec, Welcome to Pawnee --but suggests skipping the audiobook on this one. And as a dutiful English major, she's now reading Everybody Behaves Badly: The True Story Behind Hemingway's Masterpiece The Sun Also Rises by Lesley M. M. Blume. Mentioned: The TV adaption of A Gentleman in Moscow , which we watched and enjoyed last summer. In the archives , we checked in on an episode from 2019 on parenting best-sellers on Amazon . Guess what? Things haven't changed much in five years!

But at least Liz is back to her snarky self. Next week, we'll watch season 2, episode 11, "The Drugs Don't Work.” (Yes, we're watching this a few weeks behind its initial drops.
