Episode 81: Yellowstone Season 4 Finale "Grass On The Streets" Jan 18, 2022

Friends, we're here

We made it.

We laughed, we cried, we got annoyed with Jamie and Monica- You guessed it, #Yellowstonetv 's Season 4 Finale- and oh what a finale it was!

So Aleta starts off by discussing #1883 and a "bonus" episode on the making of the show, called "The Road West"- which can be found on #Paramount Plus, if you all are so inclined- Check it out- We cannot recommend the new series enough! What #TaylorSheridan is doing with the historical figures and facts from that period of time is incredible and we discuss as much.

Then Aleta and Krystle dive into the finale--Rip's heart to heart with Beth brings her as close to an apology as we think she will ever get; Kayce goes on his quest for a vision; and of course, Jaimie Jaimies.

We see flashes of Kayce's suffering and later his visions (which are scary) dispersed between scenes of Summer's plight (the judge comes down with some harsh sentencing later in the episode), and Beth, *Spoilers* being found out by Caroline of Market Equities (As we've said in the past, has Beth met her match? Is Caroline going to be the one to bring her down?)

Jimmie has a run in with old flame Mia, who is apparently back at the bunkhouse for some reason, freaking out because Jimmie introduces Emily as his fiance-Mia is quick to throw a tantrum, but Emily holds her own. At some point, Jimmie points out to Mia what we've all been saying all season "You don't work here!" We were so happy to see Emily lay her out ya'll. And just so happy for Jimmie in general- we'll be out here waiting for the spin off any time, TS.

Beth also finds out that Jaimie had visited the guy who ordered the hit in prison, and decides to go after him once and for all....which leads to a very sad fate (or is it?) for Jaimie's bio dad.

Kayce ends up telling Monica #spoilers: "I saw the end of us" WHAAA?

And guys, we have the #wedding of the century, between Beth and Rip- perfection!

Episode 80: Yellowstone Season 4, Episode 9: "No Such Thing As Fair" Jan 09, 2022

Gwntters!

We are prolonging this as long as possible! Just a little something to make Yellowstone last for just a tad bit longer!

Join us as we recap and cover #yellowstonetv season 4, episode 9. Originally we thought we'd cover 9 & the finale as a double ep, but after watching both eps, we knew that was Just. Not. Possible.

SO here we are- episode 9, we're still going through it with the sudden (SPOILERS) loss of Sheriff Donnie, but guess what gang, there's a new sheriff in town, and we called it- seems like he's not going to be allowing any shenanigans to continue!

Aleta points out all of the interesting symbolism regarding the wolf and Kayce, which we've discussed before, and we go into the vision quest that Kayce is planning on embarking on.

We also discuss: some real anger from Beth regarding the safety of her father, Summer's plight and possible dismal future in the prison system, John's morality in fighting their fights, and of course- Jaimie and the changing dynamic between Christina and his father.

Give it a listen and tell us what you think! Click on the link in our bio or Search: GIrl, We Need to Talk wherever you get your podcasts!

Oh and the podcast Aleta mentions in the beginning of the ep is Down the Hill: The Delphi Murders hosted by Andrew Iden, Barbara Macdonald, & Dan Szematowicz, through the HLN channel & Warner media.

Episode 79: Yellowstone Season 4 "No Kindness for the Coward" Dec 24, 2021

GWNTTers,

Today the girls are dishing about “No Kindness for the Coward.” Which did anyone catch the connection with the title??

Krystle and Aleta discuss Rip seeming wildly uncomfortable moving into the Lodge. Aleta is back on the “hating Jaime” bandwagon for all of his whining in the beginning of the episode. Krystle mentions her concerns about Monica’s big reveal this week. “Tantric Supper” may be one of their favorite scenes this season. And how neither of the girls saw what was coming at the end of the episode.

No. One. Was. Ready.

The girls also discuss Jefferson White’s new podcast: The Official Yellowstone podcast. Which is great…and everyone should check out. But Krystle and Aleta are both a little salty that they weren’t chosen to be co-hosts. And Krystle also brings up a brand new, very interesting, theory given to her by one of the listeners.

Episode 78: Yellowstone Season 4 "I Want To Be Him" and "Keep The Wolves Close" Dec 18, 2021

Hey Ya'll,

It's another double ep comin' at ya! Join us as we discuss episode 6 & 7 of Yellowstone!

We cover (finally!) the infamous knife scene- Lloyd's fate, the bunkhouse girls finally getting gone, and how Jimmy is doing so far in his stint at the 6666 ranch. Also...how much are belt buckles really worth??

We also couldn't NOT talk about:

SPoileRs-The Return of Avery! Monica being a big ol raincloud so far this season, how sweet the scenes are between Tate & Dog, and the softer side of Beth. Also, we gush as always over the beautiful scenes and scenery- Aleta has now added Texas onto her list of places to visit.

As always, you can click the link in our bio to listen or Search Girl, We Need to Talk, wherever you get your podcasts.

Episode 77: Double Ep: Winning or Learning AND Under A Blanket of Red Dec 06, 2021

Girl, We Need to Talk about Yellowstone! Episodes 4 AND 5 of Season 4!

Ok, can we just say that we (at the moment) love what is developing with the show right now?

The 6666 Ranch, the scenery (as always), and the new faces! Caroline of Market Equities, who is played by Jackie Weaver- we recognize her from Birdbox and Silver Linings Playbook, Summer-the amazing Piper Perabo! Coyote Ugly anyone??—How is that movie 21 years old??!

However, we do not like what is going on with Lloyd. It's pretty much tearing Krystle's heart to pieces.

Join us as we recap the last two episodes, covering all the major happenings (SPOILERS) like did we call Jamie's dad or what? Can Lloyd just get over Laramie already? Can Mia leave already?

We also get into, of course, what is happening with Market Equities, Beth with her vendetta, Monica & Kayce leaving the ranch, and how we're actually softening towards Jaimie.

So come along guys! Come listen and then watch the new eps, and then listen to our recaps some more!

Episode 76: Yellowstone Season 4, Episode 3 "All I See Is You" Nov 20, 2021

Girl, We need to talk about Yellowstone, Season 4, Episode 3: "All I See Is You"

Ok- so let's get something straight-

In this episode we refer to a couple of actors who we couldn't place-

The first- Mark Pellegrino from American Rust- his instagram handle has "rosspelle" in the name, hence Krystle's weird name reference to Mark Paul Gosselaar (Yeah it's a stretch).

Second- the actress that plays Mia is Eden Brolin- the daughter of prolific actor Josh Brolin, and of course, her famous grandfather, James Brolin (who, yes, is married to Babs herself, Barbara Streisand). Kudos to you Eden, you're a great actress, which is why we dislike your character as much as we do!

Mayor of Kingstown is the new show on Peacock Plus that they've advertised heavily on commercials between Yellowstone, American Rust was on Showtime, and the podcast that Aleta refers to about the cult in Lake City is "You didn't Ask-The Podcast"-check it out!!

Ok, so we do actually recap the Yellowstone episode too- discussing our mutual disdain for Monica & Mia, Moe's surprise (SPOILERS) family, and the haters talking about the show being boring- hey, there were guns a blazing in the beginning of the show haters, don't come at us!

We also get to see a softer side of Walker, which was nice, since he's really starting to get under Lloyd's skin. Jimmy gets sent off with Travis and the crew down to Texas, and Beth realizes that maybe things aren't as they seem with Carter.

So come along with us for this wild ride, take a listen!

Episode 75: Yellowstone Season 4 "Half the Money" and "Phantom Pain" recap Nov 13, 2021

GWNTT’ers,

For the love of all things holy, please tell us you tuned in to the Season 4 premiere of Yellowstone…If you didn’t…what are you doing with your life?!

So much to discuss, so little time…

We talk about…How Beth’s makeup artists deserve some kind of award. How Forrie J Smith (Lloyd) is a national treasure. What Kayce could be hunting looking like some kind of camo Sasquatch. How we both want to hug Carter. How Rip carrying a cooler may be the most badass thing we’ve seen in a while. And how John Dutton is literally the Worst. Patient. Ever.

If you thought it…we probably discuss it here.

And Aleta even attempts to teach us a little something about the horse world…even though, admittedly, she knows very little.

While we are all anxiously awaiting Sunday, give the podcast a listen!

GWNTTers!!

This episode wraps up the Season 2 recap of Yellowstone! I do declare…so much crazy in one episode…

Tate gets a horse…Beth gets beat the hell up…Monica gets accused of stealing…and Teal Beck gets shot to shit—along with seemingly half of Montana.

Episode 73: Yellowstone Season 2 Part 1 Nov 01, 2021

Ya'll....Yellowstone, Season 2- When we say it goes off the rails, it.goes.off.the.rails!

Join us as our first part of recaps drop and we dive into the craziness of season 2.

This is where Kayce and Monica are going through it with the relationship troubles, where John Dutton proves to us that he would be the worst.patient.ever to deal with in any medical scenario, where Beth shows us two very different perspectives of life on the ranch, and of course, Jaimie does bad/dumb things.

We're introduced to the evil Beck Brothers, we see that Dan Jenkins is pretty much clueless when it comes to business deals, and the Yellowstone ranch experiences a major financial loss.

As always, to break up the seriousness, we get comedic relief from Jimmy and the bunkhouse boys, and the occasional dark humor from the Duttons.

C'mon ya'll, we know you're hooked-ain't no stopping now!
Special thank you to Krystle, who did a fabulous job editing this ep. Our audio quality is a bit off in this episode, and she did amazing working with what she was given.

Guys, it's been a long time coming, but we're finally here!

Join us to hear interesting facts about the movie…a plot summary that is not scene by scene, but close…The music that spurred a return to the oldies…and of course, the lines that will live on in pop culture greatness forever.

Krystle discusses the themes and situations that went completely over our young heads (uhh because we watched this movie as children... didn't everyone?) and how she could definitely do a one-woman show because she pretty much knows all of the dialogue at this point,

Take a trip down memory lane, you'll see the scenes and hear the music in your head- then you'll probably watch the movie again (and maybe again and again!)

Girl, we need to talk--about Ginny & Georgia!
In this week's ep, Aleta tells Krystle all about the ins and outs of an interesting Netflix show that chronicles the relationship and lives of daughter and mother, Ginny & Georgia.
Whilst compared to Gilmore Girls, Aleta discusses how it really is not so- maybe the location and the fact that it is a mother daughter series, but that is where the similarities end.
Join us as we chat about the show, teenage angst (ugh), what Krystle has in common with Taylor Swift, and our terrible memory issues...seriously guys, it's really bad.

We have the perfect movie for you- Join us as Krystle and Aleta regale through Tom Clancy's Without Remorse- starring Michael B Jordan, who Aleta is now quite familiar with- and Jodie Turner-Smith.
Listen in as we go through the legacy that Tom Clancy has left and all of the actors who have portrayed his most famous character, Jack Ryan- Plus, as always, there's a few funny stories, like Aleta's favorite new campaign slogan and the fact that Krystle has a hard time with the word "recruit."

Episode 60: Midway May 30, 2021

Girl, We Need to Talk about Midway-
Midway is the 2019 movie about the crucial World War II battle and the leaders and sailors who fought in it. It is actually a remake of the 1976 film of the same name-which neither of us knew about until recording this episode!
Join us as we discuss the premise of the film, the actors, and more importantly the history of the events that shaped the rest of World War II after Pearl Harbor.
As always, there are laughs along the way- Krystle didn't quite grasp which movie we were doing at the beginning and of course, there's geography involved (how does one geograph?)
But we really wanted to focus on the reverence and meaningfulness of this film and the actual events it's based on.
So, in honor of Memorial Day, we give you our take on Midway.

The girls talk about the parallels between the series and actual true crime cases; Krystle gives an excellent impression of Helen Pergman; Aleta talks about the importance of representation and diversity in modern series; and they discuss how the writing of the show has viewers on the edge of their seats with every new episode.

Episode 57: Jacob Have I Loved May 09, 2021

Girl!!! We need to talk!!
Today, Krystle and Aleta discuss the young adult novel, “Jacob Have I Loved,” by Katherine Paterson. This is a beloved book from their middle-school years.
In addition, they discuss Katherine Paterson’s incredible ability to write about some of the very difficult situations youth can go through, with her characters processing and working through these difficult emotions…and how relevant the novel is even in adulthood.
Their tangents this week include: The Bridge to Terabithia (also written by Katherine Paterson); the film “Jacob Have I Loved;” Bridget Fonda’s transformation from Melaina (in The Shag) to Louise; and even a probably-inaccurate Bible story from Aleta and Krystle.
As always, listen along for your weekly laugh and coverage of a Young Adult Author that is just the “bees knees.”

Episode 55: Places In The Heart Apr 25, 2021

Girl, We Need to Talk about Places in the Heart-
Girls, and guys, and humans in general, Places in the Heart was recommended for us dear old southern gals to watch since it has an extraordinarily talented cast and was known for its astounding ending.
This 1984 classic does have some problematic language, which Krystle & Aleta discuss at the beginning of the podcast- but y'all, this movie has a much deeper message and we loved watching it and talking about it afterwards-
Join us, won't you?
Listen in to hear our takes on the ending (SPOILERS, WE DO DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENS), the talents of Sally Field, Danny Glover, and John Malkovich, so many side stories to entertain you (DEPRESSION PIE? WHAT?!)

Episode 54: The Spectacular Now Apr 19, 2021

GWNTT’ers!!!
This week, Aleta tried to pick a light movie. Epic fail. Though set in the Spring/Summer in the beautiful Athens, Georgia, The Spectacular Now dives into the deep topics of alcoholism, addictive personalities, facing the very human side of your parents, and coming of age.
Aleta and Krystle dish about their love of Miles Teller. They discuss Athens, and how both want to visit. And even talk about how The Spectacular Now was Roger Ebert’s last awarded 4-star film and his moving review of the film.
As always, the girls go off on tangents. This week’s include: KW talking about the dramatic performance of football, her 6 degrees of separation from John Green and Miles Teller, and even being on stage with and kissing Elliott Morgan. Aleta tells of her first visit to Athens and seeing the oh-so-steamy Theo James!

Episode 52: FREE Adnan Syed Apr 05, 2021

GWNTTers....
You know how we sometimes warn you that we have an F word episode?....This week's podcast episode is NO EXCEPTION!
Join us as Aleta goes through the ins and outs of the Adnan Syed case, an individual that was accused and convicted in the 1999 disappearance and murder of Hae Min Lee, his ex-girlfriend and fellow classmate.
Guys, buckle up, because it's a whirlwind of hearsay, leading interviews, and fitting the crime to the chosen guy.--All of this despite the fact that there is no physical evidence and the case is based around the testimony of ONE man.
Please come along with us as we take a deep dive into this case. Yes, we are still out on our "Truth is more terrible than fiction" tour, but this case is one you need to hear about, as Adnan is still, STILL in prison.

Episode 51: The Peterson Trial Mar 28, 2021

Girl, We Need to Talk...about the early 2000s and how things can go crazy wrong in court cases...
In this week's ep, Krystle and Aleta discuss the ins and outs of the 2003-2004 trial of Scott Peterson, who was accused and later convicted of murdering his wife Laci, and their unborn son.
We talk about how we didn't remember much from the case when it was going on, and how the media got a hold of the sensational topic and ran amuck- to the extent where we were all fooled as to just how guilty Scott really appeared.
If you want to hear our take, listen in- you may learn a thing or too, like we did- about how twisted and turned things can get when people aren't paying attention to the facts.
It's not your usual bout of fiction from us gals, but these are things we feel are worth discussing in an episode (or two).

GWNTTers- Are ya ready to be a little freaked out, but very entertained?
Join us this week, as Krystle dishes to Aleta details and nuances from The Stand- a book that is shaping up to be one of her favorites, since of course, Stephen King is one of her favorite authors.
If you like post-apocalyptic tales of good vs evil, trust us, this will be your jam~just minus the eeriness that is reading about a major super flu wiping out the population while in a global pandemic...
We also chat about the 1994 TV mini-series based on the novel, as well as the reboot from last year (again, is it a coincidence that it came out in 2020??

Episode 49: Framing Britney Spears Mar 14, 2021

Ya'll...we have some strong opinions about this one!~
We had to do it, we owed it to our teenage selves and to Britney.
In this week's episode, we cover The New York Times' Framing Britney Spears- there was just too much to leave unsaid!
Join us as Aleta makes some excellent points about why you really need to be concerned and how it is not just about Britney Spears (but it is) but it's not- how scary a conservatorship can get and the legal implications of it all. She also provides important context as we discuss the way society views our young girls and the recent interview Crime Junkie posted with advocate and survivor, Elizabeth Smart.
We cannot say enough about how the media paints a one sided picture for the masses or how everyone should have just left Britney alone!

Episode 42: Virgin River Jan 24, 2021

GWNTT’ers!!!
Today, KW and I are dishing about the Netflix original show, Virgin River. Apparently Netflix knows me better than I know myself, recommending this show that I didn’t think I would even like, much less LOVE.
And would it even be a GWNTT episode if everything went according to plans? We discuss “getting off on the best foot,” (yes it’s a misnomer), our lousy geography, and you get to hear a rare snort.
We hope you enjoy!

This series was downright incredible! A Shondaland production. A racially diverse cast. A historical drama/love story with a modern twist….. AND Rege-Jean Page… ooh la la!!!!!
As always, we ventured down several tangents…our upcoming podcast anniversary, our love of Patrick (Patricia) Hinds—and Gillian and Ellyn, of course—and Morgan Wallen’s latest album.

In this week’s episode we discuss Paullina Simon’s novel, Red Leaves.
We explain how we came to love Paullina Simon’s writing through her heart-wrenching, world-wrecking novel, The Bronze Horseman—which definitely falls under the “This book tore my heart out…you must read it” category.
We also discuss the similarities between Red Leaves and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, the mishaps of the Christmas season, the travel misadventures of Toog’s Cozy Coupe, and the fact that we are still awkward with the introductions.

GWNTTers! We are so glad to be back with you!
In this week’s episode, we cover some of our favorite Christmas traditions, including our hectic childhood schedules, our favorite Christmas morning memories, and what traditions we have adopted as adults.
Krystle also shares some trivia around some time honored traditions like having a Christmas tree and hanging stockings, why it’s customary to kiss under the mistletoe, & just why do we have big Christmas dinners and celebrations?
Krystle and I would also like to thank you for being patient with us for taking last week off. I have been under the weather, and we have been trying to stay safe.
The sound quality will be a little different this week, as we had to record via call.

Hillbilly Elegy Nov 16, 2020

In this week's episode, Aleta and I discuss the poignant and piercing memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, written by J.D. Vance.
In his novel, J.D. draws so many parallels in communities across America, compared to his own upbringing in a small Ohio town and the hills of Eastern Kentucky. He discusses his tumultuous childhood, his one constant throughout his upbringing (his spitfire grandmother who he always referred to as "Mammaw"), and how he ultimately made his way through the instabilities and trauma of his young life and achieved success as an adult.
The novel highlights themes of rural American life: the strong bond of family, intergenerational poverty, and the changing structure of community, family, and stability. His novel gives us a glimpse into what many of those around us are struggling with currently.
We talk about similarities to our small town life and the things that JD experienced/witnessed from his upbringing. As well as going off on a tangent...or two.
So settle in, get comfy, and check it out.

This week’s episode is about the docuseries “Outcry” that aired on Showtime. This docuseries revolves around Greg Kelley, a rising Texas high school football player that is accused and convicted of sexual assault of a 4 year-old. Both Krystle and I feel that this is an incredibly important series to watch, as it is an eye-opening depiction of how our Justice System is not always fool-proof. We ask that you guys watch this series, and let us know your thoughts.
Please note: This episode does discuss difficult subject matter. Krystle and I were very passionate about this episode, and therefore used some very passionate language. While we always attempt to maintain our “clean” category, we ask that you give us a bit of grace for this episode.

Diary of a Mad Fat Girl Jun 29, 2020

In this episode Krystle and Aleta discuss Stephanie McAfee's Diary of a Mad Fat Girl.
A note on this episode- At the time Aleta and I recorded our review, we were under the impression that the organization that Mrs. Peacock refers to, “Cointel Pro,” was a made up device from the author.
After stumbling upon a thread in social media, our naiveté on the subject came to light.
Cointel Pro was in fact a real organization created in the 1950s by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, to surveillance African American Civil Rights Activists, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Malcom X, over 80% of the members in the Black Panther Party, and activists who are now Congressional Representatives that are in office today.
In the Church Committee Hearing in the 1970s, the actions of the organization were deemed unconstitutional and the committee (and public, which had not known of the organization before) condemned them.
We felt we would be remiss if we did not shed light on this fact, as we were in the dark too and feel that our listeners deserve to know the truth- We speculate that the author may have used the organization as a plot device to explain why this minor character had access to security cameras all along the city, but we are not blind nor deaf to the current events happening across the US today.
