Join Carla and Meg on Bed Wed or Behead, the snack sized, multi-fandom podcast each week as they tackle a trio of characters, from shows like The Office, Schitt's Creek, Supernatural, and more, and decide whether each deserves a fling, a ring, or MURDER!

The BeWBs Do The Mindy Project

We're celebrating our ten year Carlegversary! Meg and Carla met a decade ago as part of The Mindy Project (Fox 2012-2015, Hulu 2015-2017) fandom, and what better way to celebrate than to talk about a trio from the show that brought them together? This week, it's Cliff (Glen Howerton), Jamie (BJ Novak), and Josh's (Tommy Dewey) turn to have every aspect of their characters examined under the BeWBs' microscope. Who will get the fling, the ring, or the guillotine? There's lots of reminiscing, laugh...

Aca-what? Your favorite basic pitches are looking for treble on this week's Bed Wed or Behead as they revisit 2012's Pitch Perfect (Universal Pictures)!

The BeWBs Do The Fifth Element

Join the BeWBs in the shallow end of the sci-fi space pool for a good time with the fine folks of The Fifth Element (1997, Pathé)! Meg's revenge on Carla for making her watch Bridesmaids is this late 90s classic, and you can say it made an unexpected impression. More importantly, big choices were made between Father Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm), Corbin Dallas (Bruce Willis), and Leeloo (Milla Jovovich). So who gets the ring, the fling, or the guillotine? Press play and find out! *Also Meg apologize...

The BeWBs Do Abbot Elementary 2nd Semester

You how how BeWBs do: When we fall in love with a show, we fall hard (aka, can't shut up about it), which is why even though we thought we could hold out and cover more Abbott Elementary (ABC, 2021 - present) characters later this season we caved and covered them much sooner than expected. So grab your backpacks, BeWBs Fam, because we're headed back for more shenanigans with our favorite group of teachers, and their fearless "leader"! That's right: this week you get our epic dive into what makes...

The BeWBs Do Pedro Pascal

The BeWBs are back and chattier than ever, thanks to our special guest Hannah and the Gift to thirstkind that is Pedro Pascal! During our extended hiatus Meg fell down a Pedro Pascal rabbit hole, eventually piquing Carla's interest in The Mandalorian (Disney +, 2019 - present), The Last Of Us (HBO Max, 2023), and just enough episodes of Game Of Thrones (HBO Max, 2011 -2019) to watch his character in it. Along with Hannah, Meg and Carla face the challenge of being a normal amount of enthusiastic ...

The BeWBs Do Practical Magic

It's spooky month, and we're feeling very into sisters right now so we're talking about Gillian (Nicole Kidman) and Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock), along with Gary Hallet (Aidan Quinn), from Practical Magic! The hit 1998 movie based on the book by Alice Hoffman took over our hearts in a similar but less spooky way as Jimmy taking over Gillian's soul, but no exorcism will ever make us love it any less. So, who gets the sexy push into a wall, the ring coughed up by a frog, or the cast iron pan to th...
