I don’t know about you but this month my DVR was on overload and my podcast’s are stacking up! Errr, they got in Formation…
Watching
I’ve been watching a lot of TV lately when I haven’t been busy pulling Norm off the couch. My husband and I are LOVING The People v. O.J. Simpson. Sure John Travolta’s makeup is painful to watch as Robert Shapiro and there’s too many Kardashian’s, but besides that it’s fascinating! We’re also really enjoying Billions.
Broad City is back! These girls crack me up – I can’t get enough of them. I also LOVED Leslie Jones “Ideal mate” piece on SNL’s weekend update a couple weeks ago, she makes me laugh. A lot.
This season of New Girl is off to a great start, even without Zooey Deschanel. And I continue to LOVE The Grinder, do yourself a favor and add it to your DVR – you’ll thank me.
The X-Files reboot is finished and I liked it. Didn’t love it, but it was nice to be back in that world for a short amount of time. Obviously the Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster episode was my favorite. Unfortunately these 6 episodes didn’t flow well at all – the first and last episode dealt with alien invasions but the 4 other episodes ignored that piece and just left me confused. But, I still watched them all! And yeah, I’m planning to watch Fuller House. Reboot city folks!
I’m disappointed at how quickly Lip Sync Battle can’t find celebs to battle – this season has quickly gone to C list people, it’s weird.
I can’t wait for March – Daredevil S2 is coming to Netflix next month, AND my favorite show – The Americans is back in a few short weeks!
Listening
Thank you Nerdist for not one but TWO Hostful goodness podcasts this month! I love the interviews, but really love the hosts catching up and being nerds.
I just discovered a great podcast by my friend Mary Lou Kayser – Playing Your Position – if you’re a business owner who needs inspiration this is the podcast for you! And if you like football, you’ll love it even more for the theme!
Channel 33 is still doing great podcasts – The Watch is required listening for me, and Andy Greenwald’s interview with Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer was great! Bill Simmons podcast where he announced The Ringer was really well done, I love how honest Bill is on his podcast about starting his next venture.
And of course I continue to enjoy Serial – and especially enjoyed the updates on S1’s case earlier this month.
And I’m listening to a lot of Beyonce and Billy Joel right now because I’m going to their concerts in May!
Reading
Well this is disappointing…my comics have piled up and so have my books. If it wasn’t about pop culture or getting a puppy to stop jumping and biting it didn’t happen.
I did read a great article ABOUT reading more – I just need to set a schedule for 25 minutes a day. I guess I’ll get on that so I have something to talk about here next month! In the mean time – what are you reading?
I hope you’ve had a fun pop culture month – what are you enjoying right now?
