Episode 47: The Philadelphia Story

We’re going pretty far back in the Academy’s archives for this week’s Oscar Loser — all the way to 1940 for Wesleigh’s pick, The Philadelphia Story. In this episode, we rave about TLC programming in the early 2000s, share our favorite Parks and Recreations jokes for Galentine’s Day, and discuss just how delightful and saucy Katherine Hepburn truly is.

Episode 41: Fantasia w/ Whitneigh & Dad

In a special episode for the first of the year, Wesleigh sits down with her Dad and sister, Whitneigh, on Christmas Eve to talk about Fantasia (Her father requested this title after hearing the pilot, so we're bringing him on as a guest!). In this episode you can hear us noisily stirring bourbon slush, Whitneigh shares the scariest episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, Dad posits the theory that everything from I Love Lucy to Dirty Dancing can be traced back to this movie, and Wesleigh teaches her family about Star War's blue milk. Guest-starring Whitneigh's son Marshall!

Meet our guests, Whitneigh and Dad!

Whitneigh is sister to Wesleigh and mom to Marshall, and Dad is father to both Wesleigh and Whitneigh. You can follow Whitneigh at @WhitneighS and see our posts about Dad at @SkippyDadSays
