S3 Ep 203.20 The Bitch is Back

Season Three finale! When this aired, we had no idea we'd be getting a movie AND a fourth season years down the road. This episode has tons of season one flair and we can't wait to dig into it. Follow us on Twitter and IG. Check out our website.

S3 Ep 193.19 Weevils Wobble But They Don't Fall Down

Today we're breaking down Season 3, Episode 19 - Weevils Wobble But They Don't Fall Down. As the title foretells, Weevil is back, finally! And once again he's facing a very accusatory tone from Veronica. She just loves to never believe him! It's their thing! This episode is a fun one, I love the rich student thieves storyline and the side plot with Wallace and his throwback to the pilot beach plane. I don't especially love how the episode ends, though. A penultimate episode sex tape scandal is not really what you expect.. Or want.

S2 Ep 202.20 Look Who's Stalking

This week, we've got Look Who's Stalking, which is a reference to Look Who's Talking, the 80s movie about the inner monologue of babies, which I thought starred Steve Guttenberg. I was really excited about that until I realized I was thinking of Three Men and a Baby, another 80s movie about babies that starred Steve Guttenberg. However, Look Who's Talking stars Meg's favorite Bruce Willis, so while it has nothing to do with Steve Guttenberg, it's not a total loss for us. Anyway, this is the years, continents, bloodshed speech episode. And you know we got lots to say.
