Discussed
Guess what? What? Well, good news: TARA ARIANO is the guest on this week's show, and she's terrific. Tara is a television genius and she created TelevisionWithoutPity.com and is now behind the mighty Previously.TV. Also, she has a dog who is a Great Dane mix and is "Black and White like a cow." Tara shares with us 5 insane moments from new television shows that have gone down in the past year under our very noses. Also at one point, Julie asks Tara "Take me from the pig-fucking to the suicide." Fantastic!
Plus: The dark truth of what Cookie Monster's sister is like, the Slenderman diet, the only condition in which I would ever buy a ticket to MALEFICIENT, a plea for a Mr. Belvedere-themed correction on HWYWiki.com, a warning about Paul Williams, and some more rumination on why you shouldn't beat yourself up - now featuring a staircase metaphor!
Trivia
- Grover and Cookie Monster are not brothers. Cookie Monster probably doesn't have a brother, but probably has a sister whose life is a mess.
- Is Maleficent a thing for millennial gays and their accessories? Julie will only see it if it is just Angelina Jolie lip-syncing an Annie Lennox song.
- The Slenderman Plan is a three phase diet. In the first week, you cut out all carbs and sugar. The second week, you don't eat anything. The third week, you become a ghost.
