The only thing better about one episode is two episodes!!! This episode is now lovingly called the Ballad of Med Student No. 1. We are so excited to discuss our scene, this very dramatic episode & of course, Bonrad Christmas in Cousins Pt. 2.  This is a rough watch especially because we care for all of these characters so much but we're here to break down every tear, every apology, every fl...

In this episode, we talk about Belly & Conrad finding their way back to each other and confessing some feelings they've pushed down for a long, long time. And it's hard to do that and not discuss predictions and hopes for Bonrad in Season 3!

Ughhhh this was quite sad but exciting at the same time. We are releasing for your listening pleasure the early access to Watch Along S2, Ep. 8 - Love Triangle. If you are a Jelly fan you are happy and if you are a Bonrad fan you're depressed and angry and anxious about Season 3. That said, this is a great episode of television. It makes you FEEL and that's what great shows do. Listen along as we rewatch this last episode of Season...

It has been a while but this story still hits. As we gear up for the real ending in the Bonrad saga - 'This Love' provides some comfort... not necessarily this chapter though. Dive in for a first read or re-read of Chapter 13 of "This Love" by RedClovers. Welcome to the discussion of the 'WHYYYY BELLY WHYYY" chapter :)

Another watch along and only one more episode to go.

Gotta say, this is a tough watch! It's so nice to see fences being mended and things with the house coming to a close and the Fishers/Conklins dance party. But of course, that all comes to a screeching and very awkward halt.


We were SO excited to rewatch and talk through this one. You guys will love Casey's visceral reaction to the last scene. Ha.

We cannot believe that we are doing two back to back emergency pods! But we're SOOOOOO happy that is the case. We are diving DEEP into the newly released 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 Trailer. Full of Jelly cuteness (a theme we've seen recently) with a Conrad cliffhanger... because, loving him is red.

In this emergency podcast episode we are discussing the newly released poster for the Season Finale of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Jeremiah looking smitten. Belly looking like a dream girl. Conrad looking... well, pissed. Seems like Season 3 Finale type stuff to me! Join in as we overanalyze the poster, the release date and make some predictions.
