My Favorite Neighbors enthusiastically welcome back to television both Julia Stiles (in the Hallmark movie, "The Makeover") and Keri Russell (in the FX series, "The Americans).  We are glad to have both of them back on our televisions again.  Bring on the 90s nostalgia!We also watched King of the Nerds, mainly because Kevin Smith and Jay Mewes were in one episode.  :)  Hey, at least we're honest.And finally, Sis expresses her deep and unabiding love for ABC Family's Bunheads.A Hot Steaming Cup of...Julia Stiles, King of the Nerds, Keri Russell and BunheadsListen in!  Subscribe here.

For our New Year's Eve marathon, we, being good Pop Culture disciples watched Lord of the Rings Trilogy.  And immediately regretted it.  Like even before the first movie was over.This year, Squirt has agreed to read "War and Peace" with her friends.  Now, she just needs to remember who wrote it (Hint: It is not Dostoevsky).  It's gonna be a photo finish as to which task takes longer! :)Listen in!

We're back!  And just in time for Oscar season.  Yay!*A Hot Steaming Cup of...Oscar NominationsWe break down how we've broken down over Lincoln and Les Miserables.  And then we veer off into a discussion about The Sound of Music. So just like old times. :)  Enjoy!*(There might have been some sarcasm in that 'Yay!' :) )Subscribe here.

Jokes about hipsters are funny (2 Broke Girls).  Whitney = Lucy (Whitney). And Chris Delia is a god! (Just a truth.  Accept it.)Sis and Squirt finally get around to the new Fall TV shows that they love.When Suburgatory let go of the voice-overs, we let go of our reservations and fully embraced the show.  (Even if Awkward is better.)The Count of Monte Cristo and Dynasty got together and created Revenge, which is awesome! Pan-Am's Karine Vanasse breaks our hearts.  But we forgive her anyway.  Hart of Dixie has Josh Schwartz and Rachel Bilson and uses the Gilmore Girls set.  Of course we were going to love it.  On The Sing-Off, Sis wants Sara Bareilles to give her constructive criticism on her life.  And Squirt has decided that she is Ben Folds.  Whatever that means.Subscribe here.

A Hot Steaming Cup of...Agree or Disagree on Cancelled Fall TV Shows It's our post-mortem of some of the shows that got the early network hammer.  We didn't want to "Rush to Judgement" on any of the new Fall TV Shows (that one was for you, Monkeysee), so we used the 3 episode rule before commenting on any of the new shows.Unfortunately some of them didn't even make it that far.Subscribe here.

A Hot Steaming Cup of...Fall TV Shows That We Are Bored WithThe Secret Circle teens are cute, but stupid, even if we loved them in other shows.  Apparently, Sis gave up right before both Terra Nova and the Ringer got good.  But there is no love lost from Squirt over Up All Night.  And don't ask Sis about The New Girl; she's still conflicted.Subscribe here.

A Hot Steaming Cup of...Renaissance Festival, Killer Elite & the Jonas BrothersSis & Squirt have a few simple rules on how to enjoy the Renaissance Festival and you'd better follow them, or Squirt will judge you.Sis doesn't know what to make of Killer Elite, but both agree that there needed to be more heart (but not more cowbell, that just wouldn't make any sense).And then there are the Jonas Brothers...Subscribe here.

A Hot Steaming Cup of...Summer Winners and Losers, Franklin & Bash, Suits, Switched at Birth & State of GeorgiaSummer Winners, Some are Losers:  Sis and Squirt give a quick recap of summer things that were great (Friends with Benefits and MTV's Awkward walked away with the grand prize) and those that truly missed the mark (Syfy's Alphas & not having to stand in line with other people (trust me, it'll make sense when you listen)).Squirt found that some of the new summer series captured her attention and Sis has changed her mind about Raven Symone because of State of Georgia.Subscribe here.

A Hot Steaming Cup of...True Blood, Leverage & Drop Dead DivaTrue Blood left Squirt cold, Leverage made Sis laugh and Drop Dead Diva (a story about one woman's spirit in another woman's body) is totally "a real show".Subscribe here.
