Helene and Adri talk about Cressida Cowper, Lord Debling, Colin, Penelope, Violet, Lady Danbury's iconic behavior, whether or not the Queen was needed as a character this season, Mother-daughter dynamics, Francesca and John, and that BIG LGBTQ+ twist that Adri is happy to admit she was SO WRONG about.

Show notes

Were you obsessed with Harriet the Spy (1996) and Clueless (1995) as a kid? Boy oh boy... do we have great news for you! Get a Clue (2002) is streaming on Disney+ (and in our hearts), as Helene and Adri already know. Join your hosts on a journey through improbable journalistic standards and publishing schedules, questions on how a journalist can afford to live such a luxe life, and wondering what Lexi Gold's mom does for work (because let's be real, she's the real breadwinner in this family). Also, does her mom ever come back from her business trip?

Join Adri and Helene as they gab about the 1999 DCom, The Thirteenth Year. Filled with doppelgangers of actually more famous actors of the time, this gem of a movie also made Helene and Adri wonder... Are there mermaid (merthey/them?) OBGYNs? Is there such a thing as Mer Medical School? Join us on this journey and discover more about the lore this movie implies by giving us a listen.
