WE FINALLY MADE IT to the SEASON ONE FINALE of BOTH Roseanne and Chicken Shirt!!! We start off with a nice long Roseanne Watch, where we both reflect on how this season has changed us. Alvaro teaches Sarah what it means to be "black-pilled" and that quickly becomes her whole personality. The Roseanne episode, as you all know, is SO GOOD. We discuss the bone-chilling dynamic between Roseanne and her new evil boss, and worry about the financial futures of our sweet sweet Wellman’s ladies.
Special announcement at the end of the episode (I’ll just tell you now, we are coming back for season 2 of Roseanne in the fall :)

Alvaro finally meets Roseanne's mom and dad in this episode, and you better believe he has thoughts on each parent's specific brand of narcissism. We swiftly and thoroughly tare Beverly Harris apart, wonder if Roseanne's dad was always intended to be abusive, and find even more evidence that Jackie is a lesbian.

Alvaro and Sarah sit down to pick the brain of a real life Roseanne writer, Stan Zimmerman! He wrote for season 6 of Roseanne, as well as a number of other classic American sitcoms as featured in his book The Girls: From Golden to Gilmore. We talk all about the lesbian kiss episode, which Stan conceptualized and wrote with his writing partner, Roseanne and Tom's on-set antics, and his work on a Russian adaptation of the show?? We also get into Roseanne's recent viral hangout with RFK Jr. and much much more......

So this is the one where a traveling salesman drops dead at the Conner's kitchen table. Alvaro intuitively breaks down the genius of this episode - it's about each character's individual response to death (and bureaucracy, again). We also discuss people pleasers, big vs little spoon and of course, Darlenes new friend, Baklava Cop. Alvaro and Sarah share big news at the beginning of the episode.

We're talking about the Tornado episode! First things first - we plot out our ideal path of tornado destruction. Alvaro FINALLY graces us with his coming out story, and Sarah has a shocking update on her lingering w33d smell.
On Roseanne Watch - we talk Roseanne's feelings on Kamala Harris and her recent interview with Newsmax. It gives us a LOT of much needed insight into Roseanne's relationship with her daughters and gay siblings.

We finally found a bigger Roseanne super-fan than Sarah and its this week's guest Hunter Crenshaw from the drag House of Avalon. Hunter breaks down his fandom for us - from lonely childhood obsession to his modern day collection of Roseanne memorabilia. He spills TEA on his experiences at 5 tapings of the reboot, and the taping of the Connors premiere.
Roseanne's inner girl's girl came out this week when Country singer Ingrid Andress publicly butchered the national anthem. Roseanne can relate!

This week, Alvaro and Sarah come prepared with "Hot or Not" lists from the episode. What's Hot? Realness, as usual. And Not? Anxious attachment, restaurant jobs and the sentiment that Darlene would actually ever die of appendicitis.
On Roseanne Watch - Roseanne enlightens us with some genuinely wiiiiillddd conspiracies about Joe Biden and for some reason drags Jim Carrey into it as well lmao

WE’RE BACK from our hiatus !! In an uncharacteristic turn of events, Sarah hated the episode and shows up with a list of everything wrong with it. We wonder if Becky is poly, and whether cheating is “not a big deal anymore.” Alvaro considers fatherhood and the ticking time bomb of his own fertility.

This week Sarah and Alvaro take a break from recapping, and instead frolic down memory lane with Barry Levine - an author, investigative journalist, and former 90s tabloid reporter. He tells us about the time he crashed Roseanne's wedding to Tom Arnold, how he got booed out of a live taping of the show, and like, a lot more.
Check out Barry's books "All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator," and "The Spider: Inside the Criminal Web of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell."

It's the biggest sale of the year in Lanford, and you won't want to miss it! We hardcore relate to Becky's tantrum over a dress to the school dance, and debate whether someone so working class can really be considered a spoiled brat. Dan gets profiled in the shoe department, and Alvaro remembers his mom's own "Pretty Woman" moment (which was super embarrassing for him at the time).
On Roseanne Watch: Sarah recaps the first episode of Mr. Birchum, and Roseanne spills tea on the premiere

It's the first episode of television to discuss periods! We compare Roseanne, Jackie and Darlene's period experiences to some of the women in Sarah's life. Sarah and Alvaro unpack old childhood nightmares, and address the elephant in the room of this episode: Darlene's gender dysphoria.
On Roseanne Watch: Roseanne is on a new, right-wing adult cartoon.

In this episode, we meet Dan's dad for the first time, the infamous Ed Conner. We analyze his unique form of narcissism and debate whether the writers have the whole backstory with Dan's mom already planned out. This is the first episode made without Matt Williams as head writer, and we can literally tell !!
On Roseanne Watch - we continue to unpack her controversial Bergdorfs video, what she's really trying to say here, and why exactly the whole thing is so concerning.

It's the episode where Dan and Roseanne try to agree on a honeymoon to take next month. Alvaro and Sarah pick sides in the Conner's argument, plan their perfect honeymoons, and unpack a really bad review.
Roseanne has truly outdone herself this week. We talk about her new "sketch" that is too dark to get into right now tbh.

Porno-heads husband is stuck in a bridge and we have the most handsome guest you’ve ever seen in your damn life here to talk about it. Mustafaa Simpson (@mustafaa_simpson) shares what Roseanne meant to him, growing up in a working class fam with a bad-ass mommy. There isn’t a dry eye in the house when we hear his coming out story. And also when he performs Crystal’s closing monologue.

This week, Alvaro comes in with baggage, and Sarah is overly eager to unpack it. In Roseanne world, we find consent is an everlasting issue. Like Dan, neither of us really know where things go in our houses. And yes, that does make us essentially lazy pieces of shit.

We've got a damn solid episode, with a slimy as hell guest star. There is something truly horrific about Dwight and we get into it. We also get into the time Sarah lost a million dollar bet, and whether either of our lovely hosts have made rent this month.
On Roseanne Watch - our girl did a lot of posting from her recent trip to Mara Lago... And Alvaro geeks out over a real-life Roseanne/Real Housewives crossover.

Unfortunately, this is a Crystal-heavy episode but we can’t let porno-head bring us down. We have some big questions to investigate... Like, if Roseanne can get away with using the F-slur. And whether or not the “yes-manny, incestual sisterly love” between Jackie and Roseanne is reasonable.

Get pumped because the vibes are great this week. Sarah shares some exciting news with Alvaro on-air. Alvaro basically spends the whole episode complaining about Becky’s outfit. And we ask the age old question - how similar is Roseanne to J.K. Rowling, REALLY?
