Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville has come to an end for Alana & Shay! Listen in for their final thoughts and see which very dramatized scene they both enjoyed in the end.

S3E19 In-School Friends

Alana & Shay are in the final half of Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville . The ladies are in agreement that the last two episodes (5 & 6) could have been smooshed together. With Alana walking around and Shay looking at her phone, their interest kind of waned this week. Which is interesting, considering it was the start of the trial episodes. There were some high points, like Elle Fanning nailing Michelle Carter’s new walk and the actress playing Conrad’s mom absolutely rocking it, but the S...

S3E18 Long Story Longer

Alana & Shay are in the final half of HBO’s The Staircase ! Episode 5 was much of the same for Shay, but episode 6 FINALLY pulled her out of her phone and glued her eyes to the screen. A new theory in Kathleen Peterson’s death allowed Shay’s number one fear (birds) to become a *possible* reality. However, Alana isn’t so sure. Speaking of unsuredness (that’s a word, right?), there’s a certain scene in the episodes of Hulu’s The Girl From Plainville that had the ladies scratching their heads a...

S3E17 Uncover Your Eyes

The podcast is covering two new episodes of HBO’s The Staircase this week (episodes 3 & 4). It’s gotten slightly less boring and Shay finally figured out the family dynamics in this one. But she still hasn’t fully put her phone down or uncovered her eyes. The girls started another dramatized true crime series this week! They’re two episodes into Hulu’s The Girl From Plainsville . Alana & Shay dote on Elle Fanning’s amazing performance as one of America’s creepiest girls. Only two episode...

S3E16 Podcast With a Ghost

The Flight Attendant , season 2 has come to an end for Alana & Shay! Listen in for their final thoughts and see if, between the two of them, they can remember any of the characters’ names (this would be the perfect place to insert the face palm emoji). The Snacks have also started something new this week; when a show ends, they’ll each give a chef’s kiss rating & find a good drink/snack to pair with the show. Tune in for the first chef’s kiss ratings for The Flight Attendant! But the gir...

S3E15 Death By Rosé

This week, Alana & Shay introduce two new shows! Well, kinda new, but new to them and hopefully you, their loyal Snack Pack. If you did your homework, then you already know that this week the ladies are discussing: Hulu’s Candy and HBO’s The Flight Attendant , season 2. Candy was short, but (unlike her name would suggest) not so sweet. And by that, we mean– well, you’ll just have to listen in and find out. If you were a fan of The Flight Attendant’s first season, then you’ll be sure to love ...

There wasn’t too much pop culture to discuss from the past week, but the ladies uncovered a few gems to share with you. Your homework assignment for next week: Hulu’s Candy and HBO’s The Flight Attendant , season 2. For bo...
