Rob and Sharon sittin' in a tree, C-A-T-A-S-TRO-PHE. First comes fling, then comes baby, then comes the best marriage on TV... maybe. Join the gals as they contemplate what constitutes true romance, the pros and cons of finding love later in life, and how Chris Noth makes the perfect dirtbag (note: this episode was recorded before the assault allegations against him were brought to light... otherwise it definitely would have come up).

603 - A Bit of Fry & Laurie

Kaley and Steff are in an appropriately silly mood (though not in an appropriately articulate mental state... thanks, COVID) as they discuss the classic sketch collaboration of two national treasures, A Bit of Fry & Laurie. Also, Steff argues for the trendiness of a certain sexual activity, and Kaley retracts a 3-year-old statement about wigs.

Anglophilia

After a long hiatus, Kaley and Steff return triumphant--pantless, a little flabby, and lightly traumatized--with a frequently meandering conversation about Staged, the expertly crafted and hilariously self-aware Zoom-based pandemic comedy to end all Zoom-based pandemic comedies (please).

505 - The Thick of It

The scathingly funny political satire The Thick of It prompts discussion of fragile masculinity, child pornography*, and of course, the dumpster fire currently occupying the White House. (*We keep it lighthearted, but if this is a trigger for you, consider yourself warned.)

Cabin fever sets in right on schedule as the ladies giddily and enthusiastically explore Bottom (ooer!) during the first of their episodes recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. A show about two sad, desperate loners who rarely leave their flat and harbor no hope for the future? It's like looking in a mirror.

503 - Black Books

Steff and Kaley discuss the seductiveness of book shops (remember those?), the absurdity of employment, and acts of embarrassingly optimistic self-sabotage in this conversation about the delightfully zany sitcom Black Books. (*Note: this is the last of the pre-pandemic episodes, so don't worry; things'll get weird next week.)

502 - Chewing Gum

The girls get candid about humiliating sexual misconceptions, bodily fluids, and the age of consent in their exploration of the colorful, sweet--and gross and sticky--Chewing Gum. (*Note: this episode was recorded pre-pandemic, hence the now-borderline-disconcerting lightheartedness.)

Anglophilia's back with a 5th season! And if the hosts sound a little too carefree and coherent while covering the star-studded showbiz comedy Extras, it's because they recorded it before COVID-19 reached our shores and upended life as we know it. Ahh. Remember January? Good times. Er... neutral times. Well... not-quite-yet-fully-apocalyptic times. There we go.

Pandemic Special: Shaun of the Dead

In this impromptu pandemic special, Stephanie and Kaley work through their anxieties about the harrowing state of the world, occasionally remembering to return to the topic at hand: the now-upsettingly-relevant but eternally enjoyable 2004 "rom-com-zom," Shaun of the Dead. If you're holed up in quarantine, grab a nice cold pint (of hand sanitizer) and give us a listen while we wait for all this to blow over.

In the first episode of their season devoted to "one-season wonders," Kaley and Stephanie cover the hilarious cheesy-80's-horror-spoof-cum-mockumentary, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Strap in for some premenstrual telekinesis, giant randy eyeball monsters, and maggots. Maggots. MAGGOTS.

306 - The Office

People say we're the best podcast hosts. They go, y'know, "Oh, Kaley and Stephanie, you're brilliant, you're so funny, Anglophilia makes us laugh and cry, your season finale about the groundbreaking mockumentary masterpiece The Office was as hilarious and insightful as the show itself." And we go, you know, "C'est la vie." If that's true, excellent.
