Parenting Tips from “A Man on the Inside” S1 E7, “From Russian Hill with Love” 16:29

7h ago16:29

16:29

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. While this week's episode did return to the mystery ostensibly at the heart of the show (and end on a cliffhanger, of course), it was still mostly about the melancholies of aging, with a hefty side of parent-child conflict. Cheer…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E12, “Fire + Water” 15:17

1d ago15:17

15:17

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was nearly unrelentingly sad for the lead character, Charlie. A brief Hurley/Libby frustration was the only relief from the nightmares and flashbacks to nightmarish real-life events. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 13, "The …

Weekly Roundup: “I Worked Hard on That!,” AI Everywhere, and Like Talking to a Brick Wall 21:59

6d ago21:59

21:59

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is a picture book called I Worked Hard on That! by Robyn Wall with pictures by A.N. Kang. It stars a cute (really!) spider whose web-weaving efforts are frequently thwarted. We also recommend a scroll down Wall's list of other titles, including My First Book…

Parenting Tips from “A Man on the Inside” S1 E6, “Our Man in Sacramento” 13:25

7d ago13:25

13:25

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. Last week, we complained that the mystery (the alleged driver of the plot) had been forgotten and been replaced by a melancholy look at aging. This week, things got even sadder as one of Charles's friends died. However, at least …

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E11, “The Hunting Party” 18:56

8d ago18:56

18:56

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In case you've forgotten, this episode would like to inform you once again that Jack has a savior complex. But he's also realized that he needs an army to take on The Others, so that's next on his to-do list. Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 12,…

Weekly Roundup: “Toto,” “Waitress,” and One-Star Reviews of Parenting Experiences 27:23

13d ago27:23

27:23

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is Toto, by A.J. Hackwith, which is a look at the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Toto the dog. He tells us, "I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?" which sounds like a take we'd like to hear. Terri's random rec…

Parenting Tips from “A Man on the Inside” S1 E5, “Presents and Clear Danger” 18:40

14d ago18:40

18:40

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. This episode strayed rather far from the spy premise of the show, and we're wondering when it'll find its way back. And when we'll see Emily and her kids again. Come on! Put those kids on the phone, at least! Next Wednesday, we'l…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E10, “The 23rd Psalm” 22:35

15d ago22:35

22:35

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week, it's Mr. Eko's turn for flashbacks telling his complicated and violent backstory, while he and Charlie search the jungle for the wreckage of the Beechcraft plane. The Smoke Monster returns and so do the computer messages from Walt (or someone claiming t…

Parenting Tips from “A Man on the Inside” S1 E4, “The Curious Incident ... ” 16:05

21d ago16:05

16:05

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. In this episode, we missed seeing or hearing from Emily and her family, and we felt sorry for Charles as he made friends and then realized he'd need to betray them to do his job. But there were still a few of the hijinks we've co…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E9, “What Kate Did” 21:17

22d ago21:17

21:17

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. While we've already had many a hint as to what Kate did, this week's episode breaks it all down for us, entering Kate into the Bad Parent sweepstakes with entries from her mom, dad, and stepfather. On the island, things get weirder in the hatch as Michael gets a m…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E8, “Collision” 19:01

29d ago19:01

19:01

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. The meeting of the tail-section and mid-section survivors seemed to be more of a gentle tap than a violent collision, but it led us to the Reunions Montage at the end: Sawyer and Kate! Michael and Vincent! Rose and Bernard! Sun and Jin! Jack and some woman he met …

1M ago17:19

17:19

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. We recently started the Netflix comedy series A Man on the Inside. Ted Danson stars as Charles, a widower who's hired to go undercover at a retirement home to solve a burglary case. But there's plenty of parenting to be found here, as Charles's daughter Emily deals with three…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E7, “The Other 48 Days” 17:58

17:58

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode caught us up on what's been happening with the tail-section survivors. And what's been happening is pretty grim. Their leader, Ana Lucia, has all the responsibilities of a leader with absolutely no benefits. As moms, we relate. Next Tuesday, we'll con…

Here's what we're watching, recommending, and revisiting this week. Catherine's library find is an old Hallmark movie called Christmas at Cartwright's that grabbed her attention with its name--since she used to share it.

21:34

Every Wednesday we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Today, we're kicking off our watch of the new Netflix comedy series A Man on the Inside, starring Ted Danson and Stephanie Beatriz. We very much enjoyed the first episode, from spotting familiar The Good Place faces to the embrace of physical newspapers and snail mail. Next We…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E6, “Abandoned” 15:30

1M ago15:30

15:30

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. Things go from bad (in flashback) to much, much worse (on the island) for Shannon in this one, as we meet her evil stepmother and then she meets not The Others, but the Tailies. Meanwhile, Locke adds to his Island Dad cred by teaching Claire how to swaddle the bab…

Parenting Tips from “Shrinking” S2 E12, “The Last Thanksgiving” 28:54

2M ago28:54

28:54

Every week, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking. It wrapped up this week with a grand gesture of forgiveness befitting of the season's theme. It also added "magnanimous" to Derrick 2's character traits, to go along with "hot." We'll miss these characters a lot and are looking forward to s…

Parenting Tips from “Lost” S2 E5, “...and Found” 15:33

2M ago15:33

15:33

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode went nowhere, much like our survivors; it gave us a bit more of Sun and Jin's story in flashback, but nothing very important. We could, however, relate to both Sun's and Michael's foolhardy desperation to do something in a situation they can't control…

Every week, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking.

Every week, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's season 2 of Shrinking. On this episode, a parent tried and ultimately failed to make a child's birthday special, and a child tried to set boundaries with a parent--which also didn't go very well.
