Army of the Mandys May 31, 2021

Show notes

The prodigal Mandy returns in high style as the Mandys take on Zach Snyder’s Army of the Dead. Meanwhile, Mandy plays with homeless cats at The Cat Cafe Lounge while other Mandy struggles with … ummm … well … returning to civilization. You know what? You should just listen all the way to the end. That way we don’t have to have an uncomfortable conversation … you know … in public.

The Mandys in the Window May 24, 2021

Show notes

Mandy and Fake Mandy (Megan Parlen) are watching Amy Adams on Netflix... through a window and across a street on a TV in their neighbor's house. It's meta and creepy and totally appropriate for this movie. Megan’s legit into sourdough and Mandy has been drawing on her own face and is super happy about it so don’t say anything. Finally, say goodbye to fake Mandy! It’s Meg’s last week with us so don’t start crying cause you’ll make us cry and that’s the worst. Thanks Megan!!
