The Bridgerton Bros

How do we pronounce Franchaela?! We're gonna have to learn, because we've got the direction for Season 5, and it's gonna be Franchesca's kind of third go-round, to some degree here, and three is hopeful to be the charm here. Now, does this show basically spoil the end of every series before it starts at this point? It does, but whatever, we're having fun. We also dive into the big change from the books for this one We're also THRILLED to report that Bridgerton has taken the drastic measure of continuing to work, and are already in production so hopefully we'll see this season before Jon's kids are in college. Very happy to drop back in for a little hello with our favorite Bridgerbaddies! Drop us a rating and a review if you're enjoying yourself, and if you want to join us year round (we just did Heated Rivalry), we're over at Patreon.com/KevinandJon!

Sometimes, the most impossible problems can be solved in the simplest ways: by bullying the queen. Sophie's behind bars, and the only way to free her is by assembling the greatest mother/son legal team in history. Remember her father's will? Would it blow your mind to hear that the most evil person in the world maybe wasn't totally honest about what it said? Eloise and Cressida get real with each other, Danbury tries to do one more big favor for her ol' friend Bridgermom, and the newest lady in waiting waits no longer before making her biggest play yet. And there's a twist that involves Whistledown…or should we say, "a" Whistledown. Tons of drama, but with a yard full of zebras and a love of gossip, we manage to make it through. You'll never look at a murky tub the same after this one! Rate and review us, Bridgerbaddies! And join us year round for exclusive podcasts every week on patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Do you like sad? Well then you're gonna LOVE this episode of Bridgerton! We've got Francesca's Emmy nomination episode out of this, at least, but we begin with her grieving while putting together a funeral and being told by everyone in her life that she's doing it wrong, but at least our sibs are there for some good brief distractions about biscuits. Benny is having a meltdown trying to help Francesca, experiencing a breakup, and getting harassed by his mom until he magically says the word "love" and Bridgermom has an epiphany she somehow has never once considered before. Araminta simply will NOT let Sophie just escape from their lives no matter how hard she tries. But most importantly, Posy goes flying out a friggin' window.

This episode sent Kevin and Jon into a soul search that has us making our most controversial alliance since our Berger Boys days, and that is: we're Cressida Guys. The episode begins with a post-coital wakeup for Ben & Soph, but besides "how YOU doin?" they haven't answered many questions. Anthony comes back – all the way back to season 1 form to push around the guy who's been doing his job while he's on vacay – and Penelope makes a big request from the queen. This ep also has a proposal and a character's exit, so when you put it like that…we guess it was weirdly big? If you wouldn't mind, we'd love it if you'd drop us a rate and review, and we'd EXTRA love it if you'd join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon for video of every episode, early drops, and well over 100 other exclusive podcast episodes and year round sillies from your boys!

We're back from the Bridgerton halftime break, and Misstressgate 1817 still rages on! Not just for Sophie, who has been ghosting all of Benny's letters, but for Hiscox's mistress Virginia who is unfortunately thrown under the bus by some of the vaguest writing in Whistledown history. Francesca struggles with her new houseguest Michaela, whose behavior – buddy – we have some feelings about! Hyacinth is pumped for her recital, even if the boys behavior will make her drop an iconic "Lemonade" album centuries before Beyoncé, and Bridgermom struggles with how to introduce her new friend with bennies to HER Benny and the gang. Spoiler…someone does go downtown for the ladies in this one! Rate and review us, cheese fiends! And join us year round for exclusive pods at patreon.com/kevinandjon

As we wait for our Bridgerbuddies to come again... Folks, we've never gotten more direct requests to do anything than we did to go deep on the big gay hockey show, and your wishes are now our command. Let's talk Shane & Ilya's forbidden romance, hidden weiners, and butts that will make you put on your best glasses to check out. Partying Russian style, BJ ethics, and a bizarrely long-stretching timeline, let's drop the puck AND the pants and get after it! We're dropping episode one on both our main podcast feeds, and every single episode over on Patreon.com/kevinandjon.

It's halftime, folks! And it's time to talk about Bad Benny (who we still love), look back on part 1 and some things we missed with the help of some viewer mail and a couple weeks of hindsight, and analyze the new trailer that just dropped for part 2. Band aids on ears, historical context for the "mistress" pitch, Sophie's dang left behind bagand yes, we DO know that's Cho Chang! And…stay tuned after the credits if you'd like to hear Jon's son Sullivan give his first podcast review. Please rate and review your boys if you haven't, and if ya want the real year-round weekly Kev and Jon experience, join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Sophie's got a job, and no one — excepf for us and most of you — could have predicted where it would be. There's a baked-in conflict to working for your crush and we explore that until our heroes explore a lot more. Francesca and Johnny get real about how to Pinnacle which is interesting, and then there's a surprise cameo at the end. Mama Bridge is making moves for #nighttea which we love, and there's a Lady In Waiting bit of business that still does absolutely nothing for us. There's the world's lowest stakes, most boring drama about who's moving in next door that only ever had one result, and a lot of mistress talk. Folks…it's episode 4, and we really want to cleanse the palette with the next one. Join us year round at patreon.com/kevinandjon for ALL the movies and TV we watch, and if you would be so kind, drop us a rating and a review on your podcast listening app of choice, or even Reddit if you're extra cool!

This episode brings us to My Cottage. Whose cottage, you say? My Cottage. Don't know how we could be any clearer! It's a Shangri La of sorts, where Sophie helps nurse ailing hero Benny back to health, and struggles with leisure, and also the truly boyish charm of Benny, under the mild supervision of the Crabtrees (just picture Angela Lansbury in Beauty and the Beast). Francesca also goes on an episode-long search for the Pinnacle (relatable), while the Maid War attempts to win back some power for the working class at the expense of people like the suddenly evil-again Featherbottoms, and Bridgermom inches ever closer toward Lord Anderson's throbbing sofa. Oh, also the Queen and Danbury are together but sort of bickering again, as per usual. If you could spare your Kevin and Jon's a quick rate and a review, we would be so charmed, ourselves! And if you wanna get all the eps early, and also get Discord access and over 100 exclusive other podcast episodes, join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

We're flashin' back, fordward, and flashin' a little glove all over the place in this one. We get the backstory of how Sophie's night out came about, and pleasingly, that little mystery moves pretty quickly. And speaking of moving pretty quickly, Sophie has some packing to do. We also find out about how her living situation came to be, and who her dad was (spoiler: a big ol' weiner). Bennie is on the lookout for his mysterious deep water-lovin' lady and kinda/sorta finds her, or at least picks up some hints. Posy is an absolute delight, Bridgermom is up to her old nosy tricks, and the Queen goes full B on Danbury over a game of chess we hope to never see again. Rate and review us, bridgerbaddies! And as always, join us year round and for early releases on patreon.com/kevinandjon.

After this episode, we are free of the gaslighting hostage-taking of TUDUM, and into the pure fun of sexy fun Bridgerton episodes. Bridgermom is throwing the debut ball of the season for the very first time, picking up the torch from a (possibly retiring???) Lady Danbury. The Queen now has direct access to Pen/Whistledown and is struggling to find a main character for her dating season, but — here's a friggin' shock — what about…a Bridgerton? Bridgermom is struggling with Benny's wild lifestyle and refusal to grow up, but after some dude smoochin' he finds his way to the ball, and to possibly the most intriguing woman he's ever met: a silver ingenue who we think is GREAT! This season appears to ask a question that's been on all of our minds: what if Cinderella…f**ked? And it seems like, God-willing, we might just find out. And welcome back our theme music from @hadgetunes! If you'd like to be the diamonds of OUR seasons, please leave us a rating and a review!

The Bridgerton Bros are officially back, to take the deepest possible dive into the season 4 trailer! It's a trailer that has been viewed over 11 million times already, probably due to a lot of salacious replays to catch that sweet Benny Bod, and a possible Francesca roll in the proverbial hay. The first four eps will drop January 29 and we'll be binging along with you again, but we thought this teaser was a good reason to jump back on this long-dormant Bridgerton Bros feed. Happy new year and happy new season, Bridgerbuddies! Find us ALL the time over at patreon.com/kevinandjon where we have over 100 exclusive movie and other TV podcasts for your year-round enjoyment.

You simply can't have too much Jennifer Coolidge, and Austenland (2013, available on Amazon & Apple) just let the woman who couldn't memorize lines go the F off in this pretend-Regency Era movie, where Keri Russell goes to a Jane Austen immersive resort/amusement park, falls in fake and real love, and we do a modern "Pride & Prejudice" retelling. We also get one of the "Flight of the Conchords" guys, Jane Seymour, the director of "Napoleon Dynamite," and a fake horse that is probably a donkey. This one goes up on Patreon first, and because it's so thematically appropriate, on Bridgerton Bros a week later. Join us over at patreon.com/kevinandjon for ALL our fun. Thanks to Soulmate & Patreon Pal extraordinaire Courtney McPhail for the request, and to all you dukes & debutantes for the support!

Surprise! Because we had a Patreon movie that fits the timeframe of our Bridgerton world, we've decided to drop a bonus one on the main feed. This is a Victorian era mystery starring Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, Sherlock's younger sister. It's a star-studded Netflix film from 2020 that also features Henry Cavill as older bro Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter as the (disappearing) matriarch of the Holmes family. Sam Claflin plays the eldest bro of the family, Mycroft Holmes, who sucks a big fat one. It's a fun flick directed by a man who also brought is "Fleabag," and you can feel it from the absolutely shattered 4th wall. And if you wanna stay for some off the topic Jon & Kev chat, just keep listening after the end song. Thanks to Emily Thomas for the request, and thanks to all the Patreon pals for your support, and you can join the fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Well well well, if it isn't our favorite BridgerBro getting his own season! That's right, Benedict, Benny Bridge, Mr. High & Bi says hi to his own story and bye to the single life (maybe???). Luke Thompson will be taking center stage, and we're popping back on the main feed to tell you everything we know about the season, to opine a little bit, and even talk about a little writeup we got from Shondaland.com. We've missed youuuuuuu! Theme song as always from the great Mike Hadge (@hadgetunes)!

Cressida goes for blackmail, we see the world's longest three-way, Colin mansplains a problem into a bigger problem, a lovely wedding is capped with a kiss that causes more questions than answers, a Queen has a showdown with Whistledown and...a ball full of "bugs." It's a long ep, but it's 2 hours to last us 2 years. Thanks to all our new friends who have found us this season, and at least an equal thanks to those who have been riding with these silly bros for years. Hope to keep partying with you, to Glasgow and back.

Colin hosts the world's saddest stag party, Pen gets some homespun wisdom at the modiste, Lady Danbury squashes her 10 year old beef (that is to say, her beef with a 10-year old), and Benny decides to fit two hot dogs in one bun. Oh yea, and there's a wedding. Follow us on Instagram @thebridgertonbros and join us at patreon.com/KevinandJon!

The town is abuzz about Cressida, apparently the barely literate, dumbest person anyone's ever heard of, forming complete sentences as Lady Whistledown, but many have their doubts. Pen struggles with giving up her work for this "dream" life, Benny ends up on a surprising dinner for three, Francesca and Sterling announce a marriage to middling enthusiasm, and you're not gonna believe this, but…there's a BALL. And one big reveal (at least to ONE character) at the end. Follow us on Instagram @thebridgertonbros and join us at patreon.com/KevinandJon!

Penelope is up against the clock (as well as the...well, you know). Colin gives FeatherMom the finger (metaphorically). John Sterling's reputation is mud, and Cressida's potential fiance has a few too many years left for her liking. Good s*x on a fainting couch, an actual faint, and a game of charades where they keep saying "hole" -- the second half of this season really DOES go there. If you wouldn't mind, a rate and review would be just lovely.

After hard core binging the first four episodes of Bridgerton Season 3, we've taken a deep breath, steam cleaned the carriage, and are preparing for part 2. Kevin and Jon analyze the teaser trailer for part 2 of the Polin story, and set the table for another binge-a-thon next week.
