A League of Their Own | Season 1 Episode 7 Recap with Ro

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN | SEASON 1 EPISODE 7 RECAP WITH RO Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own continues to do well ratings-wise. In this podcast host Amanda Costner is joined by the First Lady of LezCast--Ro (Amanda's wife). The two of them discuss the beats of episode seven, comparing various plotlines to their relationship, like how fun it can be to competitively flirt with someone the way Max flirts with Esther. Both agree episode 7 is a nice, light-hearted relief from the emotional turmoil that takes place in episode 6. Amanda doesn't understand why Lupe having lost her child would make her be so harsh on Esti, while Roshni explains that Lupe was probably projecting, and having a hard time coming to terms with her past. Ro and Amanda can't give Jess enough flowers--they love her, they love her as a hot lesbian mechanic, and they love how she orchestrates the talk between Lupe and Esti on the side of the road. The two hosts have a discussion around Charlie and his relationship with Carson--they agree that it was good for the show to not make him a villain, that would be less interesting and less realistic. They also do some fangirling over the Max/Esther relationship. Of course there is talk of Jo/Greta and much more to do with A League of Their Own!

And with the way things are going in our country, KJ is reminded by the episode that no matter where you fit in, in the LGBTQ+ acronym, you would have been thrown in jail during that time. Amanda and KJ breakdown the beats of the episode, and of course the consistent referencing of The Wizard of Oz. KJ explains how different black people and white people can view things, and is not surprised when Clance see's Dorothy as the villain of The Wizard of Oz. KJ talks about the intersectionality the show is portraying, and that she didn't expect that necessarily from Abbi Jacobson. Amanda and KJ love the character of Bert.

Both hosts are emotional as the ending to episode 6 is discussed. There's a lot of fear, pain and questioning of what will happen next.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN | SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 RECAP WITH NIKA & RO Host Amanda Costner and guest hosts Ro and Nika break down episode 5 of Amazon Prime's A League of Their Own. As usual episode 5 had a lot of content, stories and character development. So it's down to the "dream team" to discuss it all! Nika "the hater" actually loves this series, unlike First Kill, she thinks ALOTO has done a great job developing characters and introducing us to their world. In this episode, Max goes through a lot dealing with her identity, queerness as well as her relationship with her mother, Toni. Ro and Amanda both relate to the desire to act straight and the fear that comes with realizing you're gay. All three agree the episode addresses the struggles and issues Max faces in a quality way. The trio also discuss the ongoing plotline between Carson and Greta, as well as the frustration Lupe goes through being blamed for last episodes team brawl. Amanda doesn't understand why Lupe has to take the fall, while Nika disagrees and see's some merit in her getting blamed. All three agree there is racism involved with the way Lupe is being treated.
