I-LAND EP 3: Welcome to Magnet Jail Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

The I-Land is a bad show. Like LOST, meets BACHELOR IN PARADISE, meets WATER WORLD, but also worse than each of those things. We(Hattie and Matt) know this because we watched all of it. Now you don't have to. You're welcome.

I-LAND EP 4: Life, Uh, Finds a Way Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

With Our Podcasts Combined...! Mar 13, 2019

Show notes

Did you realize the Captain Planet theme song uses the word "asunder"?! That Phil Collins is a GENIUS. Matt explains Captain Planet & the Planeteers to Hattie, who always thought the show was just a sustainability infomercial.

As Good as Goa'uld Jan 12, 2019

Show notes

Hattie literally knows NOTHING about Stargate. At all. She did not know it existed, she did not know that James Spader was involved, and she can't understand why Matt is so upset that she confused it with Battlestar Galactica.

Eliza Dushku for Slayer Jan 02, 2019

Show notes

Hattie hasn't seen Buffy OR Angel, and after Matt's explanation, she still doesn't really understand the appeal...and not just because they killed Amber Benson.

A Podcast? By Comedians? Groundbreaking. Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

Hattie has only seen one Meryl Streep movie. Matt takes it upon himself to explain the inner workings of Miranda Priestly's mind. That's all!

Mattsplaining: What're You Tolkien About? Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Hattie's read The Hobbit, but she has a lot of questions about the rest of the books in the Lord of the Rings saga. Are Ents sexy? Why does "Aragorn" sound so much like "Ear of Corn"? Are there ANY women in these books, at all?! Matt covers all the bases.

Extremesplaining: The Extreme Teen Bible (Genesis) Sep 01, 2018

Show notes

Matt explains the most important book from his childhood: The Extreme Teen Bible! Hattie is not a teen, but she DID go to Presbyterian horseback camp--decidedly not extreme. What new things will she learn from this version of the Good Book?

Glengoonies Glen Ross Apr 27, 2018

Show notes

Apologies to Martha Plimpton.

Mattsplaining: Star Trek: The Next Explanation Jun 25, 2017

Show notes

Matt explains Star Trek to Hattie, but he never even mentions Tribbles, so did he REALLY explain it? You be the judge.
