“She’s meeting up with both of the Ds. Delia, and then Duke” How on Earth have we gone FOUR months without posting an update on our future Emmy-nominated series centered around teen pregnancy? P is for procrastination, apparently. Welcome to the second installment of our Writers' Room saga. Last time we introduced youth our main and supporting characters and established how they're connected to one another. This week we wanted to take the time to create a rough timeline of season one with the help of a random setting generator, a list of television tropes, and a 7-page Google Doc. The creative juices were really flowing. Stick around for a new name, defending intellectual property, and pre-planned episode titles. P is for Pregnancy Personalities.

We're back with another round of self-induced torture.  Netflix said, "Season two of The Society? You can't have it." Spike said, “Season two of The Mist? You can’t have it either.”  We LOVE when our spooky ooky mystery series get cancelled after one season. So many questions unanswered, so many plots unexplored. Guess we'll just have to browse the threads. This week we watched the short-lived adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist via Netflix, and it was a ride . . . through Maine in a military-grade Jeep. Bumpy, but not bad? Stay tuned for a talk on Old Navy costume design, outdated gender roles, and another Monty plot line that we just can't escape.  We've all got our vices.

Everything is connected.  It's The Fluorescence = The Cursed Episode. This Week's Spirit Theme = Twilight. This Episode = Cursed. You'll never know the full struggle it took to get this baby uploaded, but we will never forget.  Join us for another round of Nuclear Winter Haunted House Edition.

It's all pain and no main . . . plot that is.  This week we're back with a review of the highly-anticipated sequel fo The Kissing Booth, starring overly playful "platonic" besties and an impossibly high Dance Dance Mania step accuracy. Elle Evans is navigating her way through her final year at Los Angeles Country Day School while trying to maintain a long distance relationship with her Harvard man. Does she continue to abide by a list of rules that no longer serve her or take the advice of  dopey-smiled Noah Centineo lookalike? She's finally forced to make big decisions in love and life after high school, and we had a lot to say about. We endured two hours of montages and poorly fleshed-out subplots so you don't have to. Pull on your dancing shoes, and stick around for a discussion of suspected cheating, clingy marshmallows, and a disservice to the LGBT community's representation in film.   The Best Scene, For Your Viewing Pleasure :)  https://bit.ly/33w3cvg Our Previous Kissing Booth Podcast: https://bit.ly/

"Burritos are not even pretty enough to be in KHLO-C-D."  This week we're giving all of our energy to the decidedly low-quality lunches we scarfed down in elementary / middle school. For the most part, we were both lunch box ladies, but Katie's brief introduction to steak fingers made this a necessary point of discussion. Ranking has made a comeback, minus the hideous garage echo of early quarantine and the Jonas™ scale. This time around, we're relying on another iconic set of celebrity siblings to guide us through this cafeteria chaos. Thank you Kardashian-Jenners for being of service. Stay tuned for debates on deli meats, milk micromanagement, and spaghetti stories. Baby Names? More like Baby James. How do your lunch choices pan out for your first born?

"The herpes and the Abreva meant something to people." This week, we're back with a new addition to our growing fanfic-to book- to screen adaptation review list. Katie's been pushing for a viewing of "The Kissing Booth" for well over a year, and we finally came to the agreement that it fits the brand. Do we have a new C&D Classic on our hands? TBD. With the warmer months slipping away, we felt that a quick trip to the Flynn mansion in Los Angeles was necessary. We've got Joey King living up to the best friend's brother stereotype, Jacob Elordi in desperate need of anger management, and Molly Ringwald as . . . Molly Ringwald? Simmer down and pucker up for a discussion of terribly toxic friendship dynamics, a potential Ivy League admissions scandal, and smooches from too many angles.  We've now reviewed both of these films, but which is the ideal AU?

You already know the drill. We can't believe our penultimate Seamless & Themeless Episode of the year is already upon us.  As. usual, we like to keep the show notes vague and just let the conversation flow. We talked snazzier streaming services, love and hate languages, and an up and coming virtual spirit week. What would the 101st episode be without a Zoey 101 quiz?

We finally hit triple digits baby! In honor of our 100th episode, we had no choice but to walk the halls of Liberty High School one last time. Thirteen Reasons Why is more than a guilty pleasure show. It's one of the few remaining C&D Classics (Thank You Miss Rona and Miss Netflix). This week we rewatched season 1 to see if our perspectives had changed for the often dramatic, sometimes problematic, live and in stereo queen herself. That's right, Hannah Baker welcome to your episode. We went through each culprit's tape and discussed their reactions to their wrongdoings and gave a final verdict on whether or not they deserved to be a part of Hannah's final collection of cassettes. We sympathize and criticize to form a worst - to ehhh list of the reasons that led Hannah to her demise.  Thanks for sticking with us!   Which fictional high school do you belong to?

This week we have sad news and predictions that will likely never be verified.  When we got the news that Netflix had canceled not 1, not 2, but 3 C&D Classics we were devastated. "The Society" is no more, so we decided to take things into our own hands and decide what the lost season would look like. Surprise, surprise! It's the writing on the wall ✨

This week's episode was inspired by a tapestry.  We all know that we have a thing for traipsing in on territory that's well established . . . just like our favorite anarchist teens from the sky. This week we watched the first season of a long-running CW classic "The 100."  We broke away from our usual style of T.V. recap & discussion to raise a few unanswered questions. Where are the different accents? Is this intergalactic age-gap relationship predatory? What does it truly mean to "Go float yourself?" Stay tethered and stick around for lonely cheaters, poor line delivery, and girl-obsessed gun boys.  Which dystopian universe do you belong in?

Who would've thought we'd be releasing episodes with decimals? As promised, we're back with the third and FINAL installment of our Taylor Swift saga. This time around, we hit the highs and lows of Reputation, Lover, and Folklore. Are you ready for it? Stay tuned for a running tally of alcohol-fueled lyrics, women being kings, and a debatably inaccurate rank of all the albums. It's all about track 5 . . . minus Lover.  https://bzfd.it/3kDlb9M Previous TS Episodes TS1, Fearless, & Speak Now: https://bit.ly/2XNbqMq Red & 1989: https://bit.ly/33MQmcs Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll NEW URL!!!

We sorta kinda maybe broke our own rule for devoting 10 minutes of time to each each album, BUT we hope that you'll stay stay stay for an unexpected part three to our Taylor Swift saga.  This week we dove into all the track on TS3 and TS4, better known as Red and 1989. It works out great because if you listened to our last Taylor-centric pod (LINKED BELOW!), you'd know that these are the albums Buzzfeed matched us with. There's strong album openers, stolen scarves, and distant green-eyed aquarians lurking in the track list. Call off your getaway car and stick around for our thoughts on entering a new genre.   No Quiz This Week :( Previous Taylor Episode: https://bit.ly/2XNbqMq Aline's Lyrical Analysis of "Betty" - https://bit.ly/3kx9gKG Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll NEW URL!!!

It's been far too many months without Mandy, so we're bringing her back mid-quarantine. This time around, we're broadening our categories to cover any and every thing including fallen stars, pervy men on screen, and ethically questionable companies that continue to take our money. Stick around for a chat on quarantine activities, quirky Etsy earring searches, and rainbow cardigans. Why all the avocado toast hate? LEAVE MILLENNIALS ALONE! What kind of bruncher are you?

Taylor Swift is in the curriculum and in our hearts. The snake-turned-butterfly queen herself just released her eighth album mid-quarantine, and we HAD to talk about some of her earlier works. The tracks from "TS1", "Fearless", and "Speak Now" are all fair game in part one of our Taylor Swift-centric episodes. Stick around for tasteful toast, our favorite parents-to-be, and forgotten lyrics from Taylor Swift's discography. This week, we really looked hard into the mirrorball.

This week, Katie finds herself alone in the dark... piloting her own solo episode. It's a scary task, but we all have to face it at one point or another. This episode is structured as a podcast essay, where Katie reviews The Last of Us Part II, a video game she mentioned in a seamless second but dives deeper into here.  Listen in to find out what's making The Last of Us Part II the most divided video game yet, Katie's take on the overarching lesson of the story, and how she would structure the game, given the opportunity.

"I like you, Virginia. Even if you are named after a slave state." This week we entered the halls of Richard Nixon High to see some of our favorite Hollywood Arts students in a new setting. We watched "The Outcasts," potentially named "The Outskirts," so you don't have to. Long story short: The socially less fortunate rise to overthrow the populars.  You're not missing much: tons of familiar faces, stereotypical cliques and blatant macroaggressions.  We don't know how this week's quiz got so beefy, but we hope your clique resonates with you.

It's the end of an era . . . kind of. This week we binged the final season of Thirteen Reasons Why, and eyes were getting a little misty over at C&D. This controversial show has been a guilty pleasure since the beginning, and we're finally getting to see the class of 2019 leave Liberty High behind. There's "love" and loss, but was this season everything we wanted and more? 

We're only 10 episodes away from hitting triple digits! This week we're holding onto HBO's future Emmy-winning series: P Is For Pregnant. That's right, folks . . . we've entered the writer's room. A few week's ago we came up with some main and supporting characters. Now, it's time to make some connections. This is round two of an unaired episode. If you know, you know. Stick around for after school special dialogue, bad pregnancy puns, and a season one layout.  Word Association! Think Fast! What kind of writer are you?
