Courage & Doll

As 2020 continues to spiral out of control, we decided to take a breather and look at social issues on the small screen.  This week we watched the Netflix Original Series "The Society," starring way too many familiar faces from HBO to Freeform. There's depressed rich boys, kinky psychopaths and hidden baby daddies. What more could we want? Effective food rationing, maybe? Stick around for a discussion of the issues in a fictional society and our own.  Stay Safe, Everybody! The only man worth keeping around in this society is our partner in crime . . .  Who's yours?

The podcast in which we will never test the universe or Netflix again.  Don't you just love it when your Spotify playlist decides to bop along underneath the main audio track? WE DO TOO! Forgive us for our questionable quarantine audio . . . we're all dealing with this together.  This week we watched "The Half of It," another Netflix Original.  While the screen time definitely could've been CUT in HALF, it surprisingly did a lot of things right.  We finally have realistic bullying, people! Bow your heads and stick around for a discussion on love, sinners, and our notes to everyone's favorite streaming platform. You know the drill!

This week we're introducing an alternate version of our Mandy Moore series by playing Tayla's childhood favorite: Guess Who.  This podcast is most definitely inspired by a couple of TikTok geniuses: @losimz. We threw 24 random celebrities in a Google Doc and went in.  Remember, it's all fun and games! Feel free to play along!   We also took a quiz to see what board game we'd be based on our business decisions. Will you get played?

Today our beloved podcast turns 2! What better way to celebrate than to return to our roots and stick to the tradition of rewatching the Twilight films. This week we watched Breaking Dawn Part 1. There's bad wedding toasts, invisible baby bumps, and women's reproductive rights. She's desperately trying to be woke, but she'll always have a special place in our hearts.   Anyone BUT Alice.

"If you don't like me, that's fine . . . but . . . watch ya mouth." On this week's edition of hypocrite hour, we're diving into the wonderful world of TikTok.  Are we too old for this app?

Remember when we said we were cutting back on the seamless and themeless eps? No? Welcome to the first of the year! It's not live and in stereo, but definitely in quarantine.

Telekinetic moody teenager? Check. Set in modern day but has 80s nostalgia? Check. Resemblance and references to classic horror films? Check. This week, we grudgingly dived right in to another Netflix original, this time: I Am Not Okay With This. Yes, the title is long and weird, but it reflects heavily on how we felt about this show. Enjoyed Stranger Things, The End of the F***ing World, and It: Chapters 1 & 2? This is the show for you. Stay tuned as we talk about disgusting beefaroni, unstanning Stan, and a Matilda flashback.

You read the title. Coronavirus is shutting down events left and right, and that means no B-ball.  We're sticking with our springtime tradition of making sports brackets for non-athletic topics. This time around we're bringing you some unforgettable and not-so-memorable wacky plot lines from Disney and Nickelodeon shows. Let's just say, Randy made it to Hollywood.

This week we dove right back into to the wonderful world of John Green-esque cinema with a review of Netflix's book-to-screen adaptation "All The Bright Places." Will we ever escape the YA genre? Who's to say?  There's bulimia, bipolar disorder, and b-words. Stick around for a 4 Post-It Note review fueled with Virginia Wolf dialogue, poor character development, and showing with no telling.   Which no name character are you?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/2TPyIhB Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll  NEW URL!!!  Check out our website: https://couragedollpodcast.wixsite.com/nowplaying

No yogurt this time! We're back with the sequel to a Courage & Doll classic: "To All the Boys I've Loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You."

Before the pod, we were just two gals standing up to bullies and cheating our way through long division quizzes. This week, we're bringing you along for part one of our two (maybe three) part "School Days" series. We wanted to touch on a few memorable stories and key lessons we've learned along the way, including: Katie's elementary heartbreak, Tayla's questionable morals, and puking our way through second grade.  Fast forward: We took a quiz to find out which fictional high school we should've attended.  Class is in session.

We thought we were doing it for Debby. This week we gave our time to one of our favorite Bries of Hollywood. Thats right, Alison, we're looking at you, girl. We watched "Horse Girl." a story of time, space, and God's Eye yarn crafts. It's mental illness, innit?

We're back and better with a new season of Courage & Doll! We're kicking the year off the only way we know how: with High School Musical content, of course.  We raced over to everyone's favorite new streaming service, Disney+, to binge High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. We've got one question and one question only: Who is this show for?!? The OG HSM Stans? The Gen Z kids? We don't know. Stick around for a new segment, an admission of hypocrisy, and a conversation on high school appearance in media.

This week, we're closing the decade and another season of Courage & Doll with a *THICC* episode. With the release of Harry Styles’ new album, Fine Line, we started out with a “fine” ranking of the songs. What song was the Christi Lukasiak? What song was the Melissa Gisoni? We also went back and explored the last decade by revisiting our tumblr days with questionable music taste and the dystopian movies that defined our high school years. Stay tuned for more with a discussion of nudity on screen, Ellen’s double standards, and the teenager’s unexplainable desire to be “different”. We found out what cringy 2010s trend we are, what are you?  https://bzfd.it/3956J4i  Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll   NEW URL!!!   Check out our website: https://couragedollpodcast.wixsite.com/nowplaying

Move over Marvel!  Vanessa Hudgens has control of our lives and the Christmas movie genre. In this week's penultimate episode were committing to the tradition of ending the year with a festive rom-com starring the only woman who can save Troy Bolton's senior year basketball career: Vanessa Hudgens. Nessa is teaching science and disregarding history in "The Knight Before Christmas," and we couldn't be merrier. Get ready to spread cheer (and modern disease, apparently) with a discussion on the importance of winter gloves, terrifying guidance counselor movies, and treating people with kindness.  Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll   NEW URL!!!  Check out our website: https://couragedollpodcast.wixsite.com/nowplaying

Who let me have a microphone, and since when is "that's okay" my catchphrase? No, seriously? Since when? This week the Courage of Courage & Doll goes solo. That's right, our Doll is M.I.A. Katie's busy with her English major probs, so I'm returning the favor for our Scott Pilgrim week. I'm nearly done with finals (for good) and I wanted to pass along a little senior citizen advice and remind you to fill out your course evaluations. Stay tuned for a talk on Eroda, vision boards, and problematic professors.  ***I definitely sent Katie the less censored version of this podcast. Excerpts to come? Hmmm . . . Maybe.
