The Recounting May 14, 2020

Show notes

We're back! Kicking off the second season, Grace and Claire will read a satirical fanfic that they wrote back in college. Joe Jonas had just penned an essay about chafing under the pressure of being a public figure, and Grace and Claire needed an escape from their courses. Thus The Recounting was born!

-

Pairing: In our excitement we forgot a drink. We were also broke in college, so the drink is whatever was free in the kitchen. Aka whatever our roommates no longer wanted.

As we're kicking off the season, you may also pop some bubbly and pop in a cherry! The cherry will be important later.

I Work for You (I Dream of Drew) Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

It's beginning to look a lot like...fanfic, and there's no place like HGTV for the holidays! Grace found a Mary Sue type fanfic on the Property Brothers because Claire demanded that there be no twincest.

-

Pairing: A Fuzzy Navel, or whatever the first drink you've ever ordered in a bar was. Because the relationship in this fic feels just as inexperienced as you did that first time the bartender asked you what you wanted.

Bonus Episode - After the Movie Nov 28, 2019

Show notes

There's much to be thankful for this week, including a bonus episode from Fine Pairings! This week Grace and Claire are thankful that After was made into a movie. It's everything you could hope it could be.

-

Pairing: Grace and Claire are drinking BuzzBallz Tequila 'Rita Cocktails because it seemed ridiculous and like maybe something you would drink in college, but probably don't actually drink in college. Which is basically what After makes college seem like.

-

Want to watch this movie for yourself? You can rent the movie from Amazon, or Claire discovered that it's now on international flights on Delta when she went on a business trip and the man next to her watched it. This is not an ad, and it's probably cheaper to rent it.
