What began as a wine-fueled recap of HBO's "Big Little Lies" has become...well, a wine-fueled recap of other dramatic shows starring Reese Witherspoon and/or Nicole Kidman (it's a niche, okay). Check out our recap of Hulu's "Little Fires Everywhere" – according to one reviewer on Apple Podcasts, "They actually made this awful series fun" – HBO's "The Undoing" or listen to our current season covering Hulu's "Nine Perfect Strangers." New episodes drop Tuesday. P.S. If you enjoy BLP, please leave us a positive review, follow us on social media, or become one of our cherished listener sponsors!

The Big Little Recap

As we all deal with the end of BLL, we offer up the first of our Big Little Recap episodes. Here we do our best to answer your questions to us. We also talk about our favorite moments, music, and maniacal screams from the two seasons. And of course do the very important work of giving out Monterey superlatives.

207: Big Little Lies, "I Want To Know"

The end is here. And....we have have a lot we want to know. Streep and Kidman face off in the courtroom acting, Jane gets some good lovin', Madeline and Ed kiss and make up, Renata destroys the world in a red jumpsuit, and Bonnie says goodbye to her mother and all the lies. There is a lot to discuss with this season (series?) finale.

206: Big Little Lies, "The Bad Mother"

We are reaching the end and the Monterey Five are tense and arguing, Renata and Gordon have nothing but a mouthful of fucks and tissues, Bonnie writes a tell-all letter, and Celeste is on trial for being a Bad Mother. This episode is like Madeline in her old wedding dress-totally busting out with things to talk about.

205: Big Little Lies, "Kill Me"

We are getting stressed out with where this season is going! Mary Louise is definitely manipulating everyone-even Renata, but why? To get the twins or to get answers? Bonnie is under a lot of stress and may end up under water. Ed and Madeline try the weirdest hugging retreat to save their marriage. Has Jane ended up with a wrong kind of man again? And the biggest little lie is that we didn't get to see Madeline throw her ice cream at Meryl Louise Streep.

204: Big Little Lies, "She Knows"

She Knows. But who knows? Mary Louise? Det. Quinlin? Bonnie's mom? Or is it just that Madeline now knows everyone can tell she is unhinged. We take a look at this episode which includes the slap heard round the world. Where is this season going?

Book Club: Big Little Lies, Part 2

We decided to go to the original source and read and discuss Liane Moriarty's book, Big Little Lies, which the series is based on. In this episode, we continue our book club to talk about the second half of the book over another glass of wine. *spoiler alert if you haven't read the book!

203: Big Little Lies, "The End of the World"

Madeline and Steady Edy are now seeing the same therapist as Celeste. Mary Louise, still convinced Perry was perfect, starts to stalk Jane and wants a paternity test-even though she seems to think Ziggy looks just like her other dead son. Meanwhile, in the 2nd grade classroom, a lesson about Charlotte's Web causes poor Amabella to have a panic attack over the impending end of the world from climate change. Madeline also ruins another puppet song for the town. And Celeste continues to try to move...

202: Big Little Lies, "Tell Tale Hearts"

Lots going on here as Meryl "Scary Louise" Streep does more acting with her cross necklace than most actors do in their whole career. Meanwhile, Renata is living her best life when it all comes crashing down. Gordon is a criminal? Celeste is taking Ambien and sleep driving? Bonnie's mom is a meddling voodoo witch? And Madeline's kids can't keep their trap shuts. Meanwhile one of the big lies/secrets is finally revealed. Join us for this juicy discussion about Episode 2.

201: Big Little Lies, "What Have They Done"

The long awaited premiere of Season 2 is here! And we had a viewing party complete with "Not On A School Night" cocktails and this live reaction podcast following the episode. Mary Louise is lurking. Celeste is having nightmares Bonnie is guilt running. Jane has new bangs and a new job. Renata is dressed in 80s glam living. And Madeline is still Madeline, but also stress eating muffins and cupcakes. Who are we going to kill?

107: Big Little Lies, "You Get What You Need"

A party where everyone is dressed like Audrey Hepburn and Elvis and doing karaoke. What could go wrong? We finally get the murder we knew was coming but where does this leave us with Season 2? What are they hiding? What will they lie about now?

106: Big Little Lies, "Burning Love"

Lots to talk about here as things begin to reach a boiling point with Celeste finally fighting back and breaking Perry's penis and Jane scratching Renata in the eye. And nothing ruins a dinner party like puking on the perfectly rustic table.

105: Big Little Lies, "Once Bitten"

Who is the murderer? Renata? Jane? Nathan? The puppet? Amabella and Celeste continue to be victims. Who are we supposed to hate here? Other than horrible Perry obviously.

Apr 30, 201937 minSeason 1Ep. 5

104: Big Little Lies, "Push Comes to Shove"

Why can't Bonnie and Madeline get along? Does this show just make men out to be all creepy assholes? And why can't they have puppets fucking in Monterey? All we know is after this episode, we are sure Nicole Kidman deserves all the acting awards.
