I'ma Need More Wine Podcast

Happy Wine Wednesday! There are few things that will happily get me out of my love of shows featuring the Roman empire and one of them is a show that lets women be messy and complicated.  In that spirit, Candi is back this week and we are talking about the pilot episode of the NBC series "Good Girls" starring Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman. 

We talk about our introduction to Beth, Ruby, and Annie an...

Happy Wine Wednesday - and happy birthday to me! I knew this episode was being published on my birthday, so I wanted to discuss the pilot of one of my favorite series of all time - Spartacus.

Candi is back and she very aptly notes that I spend a lot of time thinking about the Roman Empire.  This time around we are talking gladiators and slave rebellions in this series centered on its namesake, who was brilliantly portrayed...

Happy Wine Wednesday! Sheena returns this week to discuss the pilot episode of a series that stars one of my all time favorite messy characters - How To Get Away With Murder.  Long time listeners know how much I adore when women get to be messy, flawed, and complicated.  Few have done it better than Viola Davis in her brilliant portrayal of Annalise Keating.

As we do with all Shondaland shows, we talk about what the HTGAWM...

Happy Wine Wednesday! I am delighted to welcome back the brilliant, hilarious, and insightful Reverend Solomon Missouri to talk about the incredible second season of The Bear.  I had a great time discussing the first season of The Bear with Solomon, so I was thrilled when he enthusiastically agreed to return to talk more about this show we love so very much.

One of the reasons why The Bear resonated so much with me is beca...

Happy Wine Wednesday! Jay Giles returns to the podcast this week to discuss one of our favorite fictional characters - Raylan Givens.  Long time listeners will recall that Jay previously joined me to discuss the Justified pilot and share reflections on the series as a whole, so it only made sense to have him back to discuss our thoughts on the first episode of Justified: City Primeval. 

We follow the lead of the writers a...

Happy Wine Wednesday! Philip of Fandom Bite/Fandom Slash returns to the podcast this week to discuss the delightful Amazon Freevee series, Primo. As we wisely counseled you in the past about shows such as Grand Crew, Abbott Elementary, and Wu-Tang: An American Saga, this is some sh*t you should absolutely be watching.  "Freevee" means this show is FREE with very minimal commercials, so there is absolutely nothing keeping ...

Happy Wine Wednesday, fellow gladiators in suits! Candi is with me this week for a trip down memory lane with one of the shows that unquestionably put live tweeting on the map - Scandal.

We kick off our discussion with the cold open in which we get a preview into the Gemstone family dynamics during a 24-hour baptism marathon in China. We then discuss our introductions to Eli, Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin as we follow them to their re...

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi is back and this week we are discussing the spectacular second season of NBC's Grand Crew.  Y'all know from our season 1 discussion that we love this show and the second season only deepened our appreciation for it.

Grand Crew continues to be a perfect comfort show.  The writers did an amazing job at highlighting the chemistry among this spectacularly talented cast.

We talk about our fa...

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi joins me again this week to close out our thoughts on the amazing second season of Abbott Elementary.  We already covered the first ten episodes of the season and you can hear that fun discussion here.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi and Andre join me this week for the home going services of Queen Ramonda and her son King T'Challa in Marvel's Wakanda Forever.

Happy Wine Wednesday my fellow long suffering Teen Wolf fans! This episode is aptly titled "Another Round" because we're having one last therapy session on the hot mess that was the Teen Wolf Movie.  I've enlisted a fantastic panel of guests to join me - Philip, Stacey, and Terence.

They also graciously agreed to do a very brief chat about the Wolf Pack pilot.  It is truly bewildering that Jeff Davis ge...

Happy Wine Wednesday! Our coverage of HBO's The Last of Us concludes this week with a discussion about the finale and our overall thoughts about the first season. 

Of course we get into Joel's rampage and contemplate whether he has some long overdue karma coming his way.  We also question whether it's a wise choice or hustling backwards to do experimental, life-ending surgery on the ONLY person known to hav...

Hey there lovely listeners! It's not Wine Wednesday, so think of this as a Sunday surprise instead.  Candi and I are entering the home stretch of our coverage of HBO's The Last of Us with our discussion about episodes 7 and 8. 

We share our thoughts on getting more insight into Ellie's backstory in episode 7 and the discovery that she has much more in common with Joel than we understood.  We then move on to...
