On our latest weekly roundup, we start with the unavoidable cultural onslaught that is
Barbie, the movie (which allowed us to reminisce about the Barbies of our youth). Mentioned: One of Greta Gerwig's previous movies,
Lady Bird, which
we discussed back in 2018.
What we're watching: We continue with
The Afterparty's "Hannah," a pitch-perfect take on Wes Anderson films that introduces some important new information, but doesn't seem to bring us closer to discovering the killer. On
Brothers & Sisters, season 2 hurtles to its conclusion by tossing out or reversing just about everyone's storyline.
Catherine's library finds include one cynical pick, the
Behind the Brand series for young titans of industry, and one adorable one: The fruit and veggie tales of
Jared Chapman (
Vegetables in Underwear, Vegetables in Pajamas, and
Fruits in Suits).
In the archives, we revisit chats on
what's keeping us up at night (August 3, 2022), our
teamwork dreams (August 4, 2021), and
household hacks (August 3, 2020). Mentioned:
Oats Overnight.
We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E5 of
The Afterparty ("Sebastian") and S2 E16 of
Brothers & Sisters ("Prior Commitments"). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the
archives await you!
