Cookies and Screams AKA The Empire Pilot

Happy Wine Wednesday! As you'll hear in the intro, this week's episode is one that I've been wanting to do for a very long time. Special guest Candi returns this week to discuss the pilot episode of the messy, messy Fox drama/musical - Empire. We've got the main discussion about the pilot episode and a really fun spoiler segment in which we discuss the top 10 ridiculous Empire moments.
Empire is my current comfort show and having watched the entire series multiple times, unpacking this mess with Candi was like therapy. As for the pilot, we talk about the casting of Cookie and Lucious. Could you see Monique as Cookie or Wesley Snipes as Lucious? We also talk about our impressions of the newcomers to whom we were introduced, including Bryshere Gray, Trai Byers, and Jussie Smollett. If you're looking for commentary about Jussie outside of his role on Empire, you'll have to stick around for the spoiler segment.
You can't talk about Empire without touching on the show's amazing music, so we share our favorite songs from the pilot. We discuss our favorite characters from this introductory episode and share what we liked and what we didn't like overall. In our closing arguments, we share whether or not you should continue with Empire if you've only watched the pilot. And, as always, we get thirsty! Who is so hot you might do a 17-year bid in prison for them?
During the spoiler segment, we talk ridiculous moments, thoughts on the series finale, what Empire got right, and Empire's greatest crime against television writing. We get into the Jussie of it all and remind folks that he wasn't the only one with some off-screen messiness as the series wrapped. Say what you want about Empire, Lee Daniels leveraged his success to attract some serious heavy hitters to the series and we discuss which big name actor appearances we enjoyed. I also stand in my truth about my hatred of musicals, the very limited list of musicals that I actually enjoy, and Candi very kindly reminds me that Empire is in fact a musical show.
As always, we love you for listening. Find and follow Candi on Twitter here.

Fire Island

I'ma Need More Wine Podcast

07/06/22 • 201 min

Send us a text

Happy Wine Wednesday! I'm back this week with Abbey and a very new special guest - Marcus - to discuss the delightful rom com, Fire Island.
Our conversation kicks off with our thoughts on one of the things the writers did really well - intimacy. We share our favorite romantically intimate scenes between Noah and Will, along with our favorite platonic intimate moment between Noah and Howie.
We discuss director Andrew Ahn's thoughts on the benefits of having an all queer cast when filming romantically intimate scenes like the beautifully shot rain scene. Next, we get into one of my favorite themes - chosen family. One of the delightful parts of Fire Island is its exploration of chosen family and intimate, but platonic bonds. Marcus and Abbey share their thoughts on how the writers explored variances in the gay experience on Fire Island — a place considered by some as a haven for the LGBTQ+ community — as well as the variances in the kinds of relationships gay people value.
Because Abbey has now joined me to discuss two properties known for featuring full frontal male nudity, I had to ask their thoughts on whether Fire Island could have benefitted from the same. We talk replay value of Fire Island and whether or not we would like a sequel to the film. As always, we close with our thirsty thoughts.
Thanks so much for listening!
Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult language.

Boozy Beginnings: The Barry Pilot

I'ma Need More Wine Podcast

05/17/23 • 66 min

Send us a text

Happy Wine Wednesday! We're back with another installment in our Boozy Beginnings series. Candi joined me this week to talk about the pilot episode of the HBO series Barry.
We kick off our discussion by talking about the opening scene in which we meet Barry who looks like he is struggling to feel satisfied in his career as an assassin. We also talk about how the writers very efficiently acquainted us with him via some well done exposition from Fuches.
Barry is the show's namesake and undoubtedly the main character, but the interesting cast of characters is absolutely part of the charm of this series. In light of that, I ask Candi a few questions for sh*ts and giggles - including her thoughts about NoHo Hank. We love him!
After a few Barry-inspired questions, we share what worked well in the pilot and whether there was anything that didn't work for us. If you're new to Barry, we try to further entice you to watch by sharing three words to describe the series. Have no fear, our discussion is spoiler free - nothing beyond the pilot episode.
As always, we end with our thirsty thoughts. It's a Barry episode, so of course we swoon over Bill Hader.
Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time.

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 favorite character arcs, standout episodes and shared what we thought worked well during the season. And of course we discussed the shocking departure of Grasie Mercedes. We want Fay back!

We are determined to manifest a well deserved renewal for Grand Crew, so we talked about our wish list for season 3. And as always, the discussion wraps on a thirsty note.

Sh*t You Should Be Watching: Primo

I'ma Need More Wine Podcast

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 you from checking it out. You can find it here.
Primo is a heartwarming, funny show based on the life of the show's creator Shea Serrano. Philip and I discuss the pilot and then share our thoughts about the first season as a whole. Of course we tackle the very difficult task of figuring out which uncle is our favorite. We love the uncles as an exploration into masculinity and the respective points of view they bring to their relationship with Rafa. We also discuss our thoughts about Rafa and Drea - the casting for both of these characters was absolutely perfect.
We really hope this wonderful show gets another season. Pay the writers and actors so we can get more of this delightful family! In that spirit, we close the discussion with our wish list for season 2. And in the thirst segment, I asked Philip to give me some thirst-inspired choices for actors he'd like to see join this very talented cast.
Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult language, and we have a great time!

Happy Wine Wednesday! I am delighted to have very special guest host Abbey White join me this week to discuss the pilot episode of Minx on Max.
We unpack the pilot, explore what this show set in the 1970s is saying to its audience in 2022, share our thoughts on the standout performances, and of course we get thirsty. No spoiler segment this week because I have not watched the entire first season, but as you'll hear in this week's discussion, I have every intention to continue watching. As always, I LOVE talking to Abbey and we had a fun, tipsy time that included me struggling through a very weird comparison of penises to clean eating.

The Bob's Burgers Movie

Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi returns this week to discuss The Bob's Burgers's Movie. Bob's Burgers is our favorite comfort show, so we were delighted when it was announced that the Belchers were coming to the big screen.
You know I love discussing which characters we relate to from a show and there was no way I would pass on an opportunity to discuss which Belchers we see in ourselves. We then touch on how the writers manage to acknowledge real life issues, such as the Belchers' financial struggles, while still creating a property that is both comforting and humorous. Next, we get into whether there were any noticeable differences between the Belchers on film versus television.
It wouldn't be Bob's Burgers if there were no musical numbers, so of course we share our favorite selections from the film. Following that, we share our thoughts on the various arcs for each Belcher family member. The secondary characters have become just as memorable as the Belchers, so we talk about which characters outside of the Belcher family we like most. It would be a little weird to share thirsty thoughts about animated characters, so this week's thirst segment has a little twist to it.

Farewell to Pose

Happy Wine Wednesday! Award winning journalist Abbey White is back this week to bid a fond farewell to the FX series Pose. We kick things off with our thoughts on the unexpected announcement that the series was coming to an end. We then share our overall impressions of the final season. We loved ALL things Elektra, but did not love some of the pacing issues created by the reduction of episodes.
Series co-creator Steven Canals said that in mapping the final season out, the writers looked back to the dreams of the main characters identified in season 1 and essentially set out to make those dreams come true in the final season. With that in mind, we walk through the final chapter in each character's arc and share our thoughts on where they ultimately landed.
Next, we discuss our favorite episodes and musical cues. We also share our MVPs of the series. No discussion of Pose would be complete without discussing our thoughts on Pose's chances for long overdue awards season recognition and why the few nominations the show gets seem to all go to Billy Porter.
The episode closes with our thoughts on Pose's legacy and the actors who made us thirsty.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Stacey AKA Sticky Keys makes her triumphant return to the podcast this week to discuss the pilot episode of the Paramount reboot of Queer As Folk.
Content Warning: Mass Shooting; Gun Violence
After sharing our respective histories with the Queer As Folk franchise, Stacey and I discuss the writers' choice to pull from the Pulse nightclub tragedy for the series opening. Once we unpack our feelings about that, we then get into the rest of the pilot. We talk about the very bold opening scene and New Orleans as the location for series. We also discuss character introductions and play a game in which Stacey tells me if my character arc predictions are hot or cold. Following that, we get into standout performances, thirsty thoughts, and Stacey shares her thoughts on how this version of Queer As Folk stacks up against its predecessors.
