The summer Belly turned into a walking red flag… our thoughts on The Summer I Turned Pretty pt. 2

One of the most anticipated episodes of our podcast (for us at least) has arrived… we’re talking all things The Summer I Turned Pretty. This episode is full of hot takes, red flags, and so many laughs, you won’t want to miss this… Spoiler warning: we talk about all three of The Summer I Turned Pretty books by Jenny Han, as well as the show adaptation, seasons 1-3. If you have not watched the show or read the books, maybe go do that first then come back!  If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, go back and listen to that conversation first because we primarily talked about the relationship between Belly and Jeremiah, and Belly and Conrad.  Today on the podcast, we are talking about the family dynamics that drove the entire situation between Belly and the Fisher boys, and the way the boys' mom, Susannah probably influenced a lot of their decisions. Did the other relationships in the show heavily change the outcome of things between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah? How did their summers in Cousins change the family dynamics between each individual family, but also the way the two families interact?  We’re excited to hear your thoughts as well!

Age gap relationships, family conflict, and THAT ending?? Our thoughts on The Four Seasons…

Today we are discussing a new show that is incredibly interesting when discussing fictional relationships… major age gaps, open relationships, and mid-life relationship issues… The Four Seasons has that and more. To be honest, we aren’t totally sure how to feel about it.  We’re sharing our unfiltered thoughts on the show itself, as well as the general ideas discussed within the show. We also talk about the ending… and if you haven’t watched the show, make sure you do that BEFORE listening to this episode because it does contain spoilers!  If you have watched this show, we want to know… do you agree with our thoughts? What do you think they can do with this show looking forward to season 2? Let’s break it all down…  Grab yourself something to sip, get comfortable, and join us for today's episode!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Windex, weddings, and big fat green flags…

Green flag main characters, a hilarious big family dynamic, and hilarious moments that will leave you quoting them for the rest of your life (or putting Windex on everything)… of course, we’re talking about My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  This iconic romcom has the definition of a green flag relationship, even if we can’t say the same about their families… trust us, this movie is incredible, and we’re breaking it down for you.  We discuss how Tula learns to thrive without a man even though she’s shy, but then meets Ian - a stable, sweet guy, but not Greek… which unfortunately causes them some issues along the way. We talk about Ian and Tula’s relationship starts and progresses, how they overcome familial struggles while staying true to themselves and one another, and ultimately how much we LOVE their relationship and their characters. If you want to feel like you’re being wrapped in a heart-warming big, fat, hilarious hug, watch this movie (and listen to this episode of Banquette Breakdown).  Grab yourself something to sip, get comfortable, and join us for today's episode!
