    TOPIC:

    This week we are hanging out and catching up on life! Natalie is back from an activity-filled couple of days that include a JoBros concert and a movie theater experience featuring The Killers of the Flower Moon — and the fire department. We recap details from our spooky night staycation at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, and discuss movies that should (and shouldn’t) be on the Scariest Movies of All Time list. Corrine is feeling refreshed after her trip to New York and Natalie is prepping for a trip to The Bay for a friend’s baby shower. This leads to a conversation about smells that bring up the energy of nostalgia. And! we can’t help but comment on how our Hottie of the Week is simply… unproblematic.

    WRAP UP:

    To wrap up the episode, we play Overrated/Underrated. Corinne is firm on her stance that hamburgers are overrated and that hot dogs just *hit different*. Corinne specifically likes hers with sauerkraut when leaning into her German heritage or topped with little pickles, onion, mustard, and ketchup… like a burger. Natalie thinks documentaries are overrated, but YouTube documentaries — and their obscure topics — are highly underrated and! will get you invested.
