Right Reasons Podcast: Survivor, One Direction, and Taylor Swift
The Right Reasons took some interesting turns this week. Perhaps most notably, David Jacoby thoroughly enjoyed this week’s Survivor! All you need is some matricide to get him interested. We talked about Laura M. and Ciera’s relationship, Caleb’s apparently stable weight, and Aras’s tribal council attire. From there we moved on to our Weird Watches, […]

The Parenthood Cry of the Week: A Mayoral Campaign and an Unknown Guitarist Take a Punch to the Gut
It’s Election Day in Berkeley! Thankfully, this means the mayoral race plot ended this week, and it meant that all Bravermans were present for the after-party, win or lose. Bravermans are kind of like the Captain Planet kids. When their powers combine, the family is strong enough to overcome losing an election, bar fights, and […]

Sorting Through the Crazy New Reports About Brittany Murphy’s Death
Brittany Murphy stormed into our lives as Tai from Clueless in 1995. She remained famous and notorious enough — both for performances in movies including 8 Mile and Girl, Interrupted and as Ashton Kutcher’s girlfriend — that her death in 2009 was shocking, but not surprising.

Right Reasons Podcast: Real World Changes, Survivor, and Real Housewives
The reality TV universe has been turned on its axis. Real World is changing its format. We spent the first half of this week’s podcast talking about the implications this has for the storied franchise.

Parenthood Cry of the Week: Real Talk
Finally, Parenthood got real. This show is best when it considers legitimate, realistic problems that actual people have to confront. This week’s episode covered topics including finances, protecting family, fighting with your spouse, emotional cheating, and what it means for a 10-year-old to choose ballet over basketball. There were highs, there were lows, and, most […]

The Parenthood Cry of the Week: Weeping (With Relief) Over Amber and Ryan’s Doomed Love
Salvation is on the way! Parenthood Season 5 has suffered a serious dearth of tears, but fortunately this week’s episode accelerated the action on numerous tedious story lines, which will hopefully elevate this morass of a season. Perhaps we should thank Kristina Braverman. Not only was this a mayoral campaign–free episode, but she delivered a […]

Right Reasons Podcast: Bravo and Eminem
Thanksgiving has come early to the Right Reasons podcast. It’s almost as if the executives at Bravo heard that we did a news-only podcast and knew that we needed new shows. This week the house that Andy Cohen built delivered a cornucopia with the return of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Shahs […]
