I'ma Need More Wine Podcast

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.

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.
As always, we love you for listening. Find and follow Candi on Twitter here.

Our Pose discussion continues with Season 2 of the series. We had LOTS to say, so we are breaking out our thoughts on the season over two episodes. We open with a chat about helpful life hacks for preparing adult beverages. In our segment on stuff we like, we celebrate Kristine learning how to swim and ponder the consequences of characters on True Blood wearing denim with no underwear. As for the stuff we did not like, we chat about the things we do for cute hairstyles and Karamo Brown.
We continue our praise for the show while acknowledging some of the second season’s growing pains. We kick things off with a chat about some of the weaker aspects of the season and storylines we still don’t quite know how to feel about. We cover everything from the writers exercising creative license with historical events, justice for Candy Abundance Ferocity, and the Ricky/Pray Tell pairing. We question the use of Madonna’s Vogue as a focal point for the start of the season and try to figure out how our ballroom faves are funding their fierce styles. Where are the sewing machines?!

In this episode, we discuss wines that will get you tipsy with just a few sips and discover very quickly that our wine tastes are aligned with our personal brands. We discuss the stuff we like, which includes heritage-inspired vacations and Normani. We vent about annoying, racist people on Twitter popping up in your social media mentions like the worst Kool-Aid man ever, which leads to a discussion of Twitter etiquette and geography. Fun fact - Africa is a continent!
After shooting the crap a bit, we get into the groundbreaking first season of FX’s Pose created by Steven Canals, Ryan Murphy, and Brad Falchuk. We take a deep dive into our initial impressions of the show when it was announced and then move on to our discussion of why the first season of Pose is amazing, must see television. We rave over what we like and also manage to work in a drag of Mario Lopez.
Friendly reminder, we drink, we know things, and we often use adult language in our discussions.
