Is Paddington 2 the best sequel ever? This week, we continue our deep dive into the Paddington franchise as we review the beloved, critically acclaimed follow-up to the 2014 hit. With near-universal praise and a Rotten Tomatoes record to its name, Paddington 2 has become a modern classic— but does it live up to the hype?
Join us as we break down its heartfelt storytelling, stunning animation, and Hugh Grant’s show-stealing performance. We also dive into the film’s surprisingly emotional moments, the whimsical prison scenes, and Paddington’s ability to bring out the best in everyone (even hardened criminals). Plus, we discuss the film’s box office performance, its legacy, and whether it truly deserves its perfect reputation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
