Happy new holiday drink menu at Starbucks day!

Let's talk trash! And babies. And Timothée Chalamet for some reason? While also peppering in a quick argument about whether or not ghosts can smell or taste. We have a lot of ground to cover in this episode. Today, Elyse discusses the logistics of baby-napping - I mean the best ways to prevent your baby from being baby-napped - in her prelude to her chosen show this week, Switched at Birth. As the first mainstream TV show to feature the deaf community in a centered and significant way, this show has a lot of positive things going for it. However, we'll see that it does fail to hit the mark on some important parts of that representation. Claire then takes things away with a show off-the-beaten-path that captured their heart within the first several episodes - Ghosts. This show is about a quirky group of characters, some living, some dead, as they attempt to live together in harmony. Cheeky and fun, Ghosts is a can't-miss for all our fellow trashy TV lovers out there.

P.S. Timothée Chalamet starring in Statistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvWefB4NGGI

P.P.S. The names of the characters Claire was struggling to think of were Samantha and Jay :)

Before we go:

Elyse: The musical 35mm: A Musical Exhibition, by Ryan Scott Oliver and Matthew Murphy. A multimedia production performed anthology-style, where each standalone song is paired with a connected photograph. Elyse recommends checking out the song "The Ballad of Sara Berry" in particular if you're looking for somewhere to start. Watch either on Youtube for the full multimedia experience, or listen to the songs wherever you get your music.

Claire: The musical Come from Away by David Hein. This is a beautiful, funny, and heart-wrenching musical based on the true story of a plane that had to land unexpectedly in the small and welcoming town of Gander, Newfoundland during the events of September 11th, 2001. Currently streaming on Apple TV+.

Warning: This episode contains minor plot spoilers for the television series Switched at Birth and Ghosts.
