CLIP: [00:00:02] Geeked.
PRINCESS: [00:00:02] What's up? My geeks, my nerds, my dorks, my pop culture heads. It is I, Princess Weekes.
TESSA: [00:00:08] And it is I Tessa Netting.
PRINCESS: [00:00:10] And you are listening to theGeeked podcast. Your weekly. Yes, weekly. Energy Boost of the worlds, fandom stories you love, hate, you know, whatever. I don't know your life. All I know is I respect your mind.
TESSA: [00:00:23] And I respect your mind, too. So that's why I got to tell you that each week we're going to skim the surface of what's popular in geek culture, and then we're taking a deep dive into the lore of Netflix worlds bigger than our own.
PRINCESS: [00:00:34] And today we are going into the vault to discuss and possibly debate. I know you love it when we fight what Tessa and I believe to be the best Netflix shows and movies of all time in general. So, yeah, we're going to fight like it's king Kong vs Godzilla .
TESSA: [00:00:50] Yay I love Godzilla. So they that's perfect.
PRINCESS: [00:00:55] Me too.
TESSA: [00:00:56] Oh then we're not Fighting.
PRINCESS: [00:00:57] I'll be king kong. I'll be King Kong. They're both my sons.
TESSA: [00:01:00] We're going to fight. I promise there will be some fighting. There will also probably be some agreement. But you know what? We will try. But before that, we are going to look ahead to what is coming out on Netflix this fall. In a special Tudum fall preview from our partners at Tudum.com.
PRINCESS: [00:01:18] Let's get into it, shall we, dear?
TESSA: [00:01:25] So we have a special treat for y'all, a segment called the Tudum Fall Preview from our partners at Tudum.com. And if you don't know what to do, miss, it's a site with everything you want to know about Netflix shows and films, so go check it out, Princess, what are you excited about coming this fall?
PRINCESS: [00:01:45] Well, I think everyone knows me and so everyone knows I'm excited about The Crown. It's going to be we're in we're in the season of mess. Okay. And I cannot wait to see Diana in her freedom dress. I cannot wait to just remember how she completely dog walked the monarchy with just the elegance and grace of her calves and very well manicured bob, I mean, legendary.
TESSA: [00:02:14] It's true. This season of the Crown is going to have a whole new cast. So that's exciting in itself. But also we just know that it's going to get so, so messy. So we're here for the drama, for the costumes, for the cast, for everything.
PRINCESS: [00:02:30] Yeah, it's going to be messy. It's going to be sad. It's going to be dramatic.
TESSA: [00:02:34] Very sad.
PRINCESS: [00:02:35] Yeah. And it's just like with everything that's going on with the royal family right now, this is like their best PR boom. It's like seasons of The Crown. So they're all just like, how are we going to make the queen look like the sane person around all these messy people? And how are we going to lowkey drag andrew. So it's going to be great. I'm looking forward to it. We have two seasons left. This is the first, the second to last, and I can't wait to see Umbridge as Queen Elizabeth the second.
TESSA: [00:03:01] Right. Just talk about perfect casting.
PRINCESS: [00:03:05] She was literally preparing for this her whole life. She was wearing the outfit. She was wearing the fits. Okay. So it's time.
TESSA: [00:03:11] She really was. She was she was born to play this. And now we will see her as Queen Elizabeth, the second after Claire Foy and Olivia Colman. It's like this is the perfect progression and I just am so pumped for this. Another Netflix show that I cannot wait to watch this fall is Wednesday.
PRINCESS: [00:03:33] Mm so good.
TESSA: [00:03:34] It is a new show that is coming and it is starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday from the mind of Tim Burton. Tim Burton doing Wednesday Addams a live action series. This is just this is everything that I could want in the fall.
PRINCESS: [00:03:53] Like they hhad me at Jenna Ortega. Then they had Catherine Zeta Jones as Morticia Adams and I'm like, Catherine Zeta Jones is never hotter when opposite a Latin person as we learn in the mask of Zorro. And so I'm just so excited to see her be just however they bronzed and contoured her in Zorro. I want to just copy paste and put it on there because that's the look we want. You know, Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams is like perfect, like castings that we're going to have, like this Puerto Rican icon. It's just I am so truly excited for this. And Christina Ricci is going to be in it and Gwendoline Christie. So she's going to have just all levels of excellence in this production. And you know what? I, for one, have been waiting a long time for a, you know, Tim Burton production with some melanin in it. So I'm very excited to see like not just how he views this world, but just all the diversity that's going to be in it. Because everybody loves The Addams Family.
TESSA: [00:04:55] Oh, I love The Addams Family, especially Wednesday. Like she was always my favorite character. And this show is like described as a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery, like showing her time as a student at Nevermore Academy. So, like, I cannot wait for the costumes and spooky dark academia vibes. It's just I cannot wait. And like the teaser at Geeked week, it showed her and so.
PRINCESS: [00:05:24] Did.
TESSA: [00:05:26] I. I mean, thing is. Well, I just like, give me all of the cameos. Give me all of the vibes. Spooky vibes. I want all the spooky fall vibes.
PRINCESS: [00:05:36] Absolutely. I think like and Jen and Jenny Ortega is such a great actress and I just she looks perfect for the role. We know she can do horror because she was great and scream. So. Yeah. And and baby sitter killer queen. So I'm just here for all of it. And there's nothing I love more than a teen drama that takes place in a spooky school. Yes. So this is like all of that number wanted. Yeah.
TESSA: [00:06:00] Mm hmm. She is just the new, like, horror girl. She's having her horror moment, and I'm here for it. Let's capitalize on it, and let's make her Wednesday. Let's see what she can do.
PRINCESS: [00:06:11] Absolutely. And speaking of spooky schools, we also have the film, The School for Good and Evil. So like perfect pairing. I'm so excited about this movie. I think I mentioned during Geeked Week, you know as well that like, I was a fan of the book series for years. So like, I'm so excited. We haven't had like a really fun YA film adaptation. Like everything is like a series like so it's going to be fun to see how they turn this one text into like a standalone film. I know you've seen it. I haven't seen it yet. I'm saving it for it for a wine night. But I'm really excited about this and I can't wait to see it brought to life.
TESSA: [00:06:49] I will not spoil anything because I hate doing that to anyone. But I just want to say that this movie was so wonderful. I absolutely loved it. I just know so many people are going to lose their minds when they see this and Soman. He- You could tell how much he loves, loves this story and loves this world. And he just put his whole soul into it and he, like, loved the movie. It's like when, you know, the creator is just so on board and it's like singing the praises of the thing that is their baby, you know? They did it right.
PRINCESS: [00:07:25] That makes me so happy.
TESSA: [00:07:26] Yeah, we just need more like princesses. Like, I want more like princess vibes, fantasy vibes, fantasy movies. Like, give them to me. I am I am dying for more. So this is perfect.
PRINCESS: [00:07:39] As a Princess, I agree. And I will say my one wildcard, because I was going through the list of Tudum shows and I had to say The Watcher, which is going to be the Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan production. So this is based on the true crime. Instead of a married couple that moves into their dream home and starts getting letters from a watcher who is like giving all these very like detailed things of like the nicknames they have for their children, what their children are doing. It's the creepiest shit and it's an unsolved mystery. So I'm like, I cannot wait to see how this is done. It's so weird that Ryan Murphy is the one who's doing this, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes. Naomi Watts is in it. Mia Farrow, my good sis Jennifer Coolidge. I was just like, All right, I'm sold.
TESSA: [00:08:24] That sounds great. And Ryan Murphy does a good job, like with his series, like, they are excellent. So I, I'm very pumped for this. My wild card is going to be Love is Blind Season three.
PRINCESS: [00:08:40] A legend.
TESSA: [00:08:41] Listen, I think Love Is Blind is one of the craziest, most insane ideas ever for a reality show. So the fact that it works like people are that have been on the show are still together. It's it's so wild to me. So I cannot wait to see more of the drama, more of the pairings, more of them sitting in those booths and meeting other people and seeing if love is really blind, if they can fall in love without seeing the other person and propose to a person without ever seeing them in the flesh, ever having no idea what they look like, what that is, that's insane.
PRINCESS: [00:09:25] But you know, love is blind: Japan was so sweet and wholesome that, like, I got it. Like, my sister got me to watch it, and I'm just like, All right, all right, I get it. I get it, like. And then love is blind: Japan was just, like, so soft and silly, and everyone was like. And the marriage culture is just so different there.
TESSA: [00:09:42] Oh, I was going to say, that's not what it's like for the American version.
PRINCESS: [00:09:48] Well, they're both on Netflix, so, oh, my God. I can imagine. The only episode I saw of The American Love Is Blind was the most recent reunion. And I was just like, This is perfect. I feel like I'm gettiing A whole meal from just this alone. So, yeah, sometimes we like, we love we love the chaotic dramas and, you know, our sci fi and our fantasy. We also love mess.
TESSA: [00:10:10] Always, always, always. Give us more mess. Give us more drama. Give us more fall, spooky school vibes cannot wait.
PRINCESS: [00:10:20] So everyone be sure to check out Tudum dot com for more fall previews and also check out other podcasts from our Netflix family. Like we have the receipts. You can't make this up and skip intro for more celebration of what's coming up in the fall.
TESSA: [00:10:34] Happy Fall.
PRINCESS: [00:10:40] Hello, everyone. We're back. And we are going to talk about some of our favorite shows from inside the Netflix vault. And if I sound weird, I apologize. I am at Gen Con buying a lot of tabletop RPG books because this is the key podcast and I live my wraps, so I apologize if I sound a little different, but it's because I'm having so much fun in Indiana looking at the a goofy movie board game, literally five year old me is like destroyed with joy.
TESSA: [00:11:10] I love that so much. I, I always love getting to go to conventions because it feels like you can just feel the joy from everyone. It's a collective feeling of nerdiness and a collective feeling of like, we love this thing so much that we're just going to all come together and talk about it and buy things about like about the thing and dress up like the thing and it's just the best. There's no other feeling like it.
PRINCESS: [00:11:39] It's okay. My friends Sydney, who's known as Tappy toe claws and my friend Olivia, they're dressing up as Sandra and Liliana for magic, the gathering and it just. They look so cool. I'm just sitting here like watching them put on their wigs and their cosplay. Just like you're doing so good. Yeah, I just. I'm just out here being a supportive mom. Let's get into some of our favorite shows, Tessa. I would love to know. What do you think is the best show from the Netflix vault?
TESSA: [00:12:11] Oh, okay. So this was a little hard for me to narrow down, but once I figured it out and realized what show I thought was the best show that Netflix has ever done, it was obvious. And it was one of those things where I think it's not only the best show that Netflix has ever done, but I think it's one of the most innovative, incredible, like, well-crafted shows of all time. And it's an animated show. It is BoJack Horseman.
CLIP: [00:12:42] The star of Horseman Around. BoJack Horseman is our guest tonight. Welcome, BoJack. I'm incredibly drunk.
TESSA: [00:12:49] BoJack Horseman is an animated show. If you don't know about a horse named BoJack, voiced by Will Arnett and he used to be a star of the 1990 sitcom, Horsing Around.
CLIP: [00:13:02] Was initially dismissed by critics as broad and saccharin and not good. But the family comedy struck a chord with America and went on to air for nine seasons.
TESSA: [00:13:12] And is now trying to navigate Hollywood and complete his memoir as a depressed, self-loathing, washed up TV star. And even though this is a cartoon, this show is absolutely not for children. This is more than just like a raunchy cartoon about like an alcoholic. This show is deep and dark and tackles like the most intense topics, like serious subjects and personal experiences through this, like, animated horse. Because you need that blocker it like it's so intense that you need that disconnect from reality, like that level of absurdity, because otherwise it's too real, it's too much. It's so heartbreaking. It's like it's jarring, it's brilliant. It just completely challenges itself by exploring these, like, new and creative ways to approach storytelling through animation. Like, God, I mean, this show is just not afraid to, like, go there and talk about, like, real fucking issues and explore, like, the themes and topics of fame, culture, like celebrity culture, like the public obsession of seeing and experiencing a famous person, their downfall and how they're like obsessed with that and how, like toxic social media is, how toxic cancel culture can be, especially just like for women, just how horrible people can be towards women in Hollywood and in society. And it like also talks about things like addiction, depression, abortion, abuse, the shame of personal choices and the desperation of humanity. It's like I this show is insane.
PRINCESS: [00:15:13] I think that BoJack Horseman, the show is up there with, like, The Sopranos and Breaking Bad and Mad Men is like one of the most important existential crisis shows about the way that middle aged, white coated men are just unable to take responsibility for their own actions and grow if it comes up too much against their desire for greatness. And like for me, as someone who deals with like depression and so many things like BoJack Horseman was just so good because it just knew how to say the right thing in the most painful but truthful way. And I think of how many things it handled, especially Bojack's own history of like being both someone who was a victim of like terrible childhood trauma, but also like a predatory ass person. And how because we spend so much time with BoJack, we as the audience are acts to both understand why BoJack is the way he is, but also understand that like it is not okay that he is like taking that trauma and passing it around on everybody that loves him. It's like, if you relate to BoJack, that means you need to go into therapy. Like it means that you need to, like, rethink the way that you talk to your friends and like the women and people in your life, not man a hero. For me, it's like, No, no. Yeah. The call is coming from inside the house. For real? For real. But yes, you are correct with BoJack and I. I love that show. So I decided to pick something that I think is really good for a different reason. And I want a sort of animation. Even though that's my favorite and I pick the series, never have I ever.
CLIP: [00:16:59] Hey, Gods. It's Devi Bishop Lamar. Your favorite Hindu girl in the San Fernando Valley. It's often the first day of school and I thought we should have a check in. I think we can all agree that last year sucked for a number of reasons.
PRINCESS: [00:17:14] Which was created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher. And I love this show for a lot of reasons. So it's about this young Indian-American Somali girl named Devi, who is from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, and her father, Mohan, dies very suddenly. And Devi goes through like this immediate trauma where she kind of loses sensation in her legs and isn't able to walk for three months. She eventually gets better, and she's trying to kind of in her sophomore year of high school, reinvent herself. And the show is kind of all about Devi as this kind of shitty person.
TESSA: [00:17:51] Teens are shitty.
PRINCESS: [00:17:53] But. Also very empathetic, like I love there's nothing I love more than a show that's not afraid to make a teenage girl unlikable, but also well-written. And you understand exactly why she's that way. Like, I love Debbie. She's selfish, she's self-centered. She doesn't always make good decisions because she's 15.
CLIP: [00:18:11] I'd like to be invited to a party with alcohol and hard drugs. I'm not going to do them. I just like the opportunity to say no cocaine for me. Thanks.
PRINCESS: [00:18:18] And she's trying to kind of she's trying to get the bag by a bag, I mean a man.
CLIP: [00:18:24] Lastly, most importantly, I'd really, really like a boyfriend, but not some nerd from one of my AP classes, like a guy from a sports team. He can be dumb. I don't care. I just want him to be a stone cold hottie who could rock me all night long. Thanks for considering.
PRINCESS: [00:18:40] And so she's on that pathway. And I just love how empathetic it is. And I love I'm at the age now at 30. I'm like, I love her, but I also love her mother and all the adult conflict on the show. I'm like, you know, her mother dealing with like the grief of losing her husband and now having to raise her daughter in an environment that feels very unkind to her. Like that was so powerful. And just the way it touches on sort of the duality of like, she's this brown girl in a very white environment. I love that about it. I love how raw and honest emotionally it is. I love how everyone's doing their best, but they're not always doing the right thing. And you know, I think in terms of a teen drama, I think it's like one of the best that's out right now. That's really for like younger teens who are like struggling with themselves and also their parents who are going to watch it with them.
TESSA: [00:19:38] I watched that show as well.
PRINCESS: [00:19:39] And I really.
TESSA: [00:19:40] Liked that about it too. I like when shows feel real. I liked, especially when it's something like showing a school experience and it's not like Stranger Things where it's like, Oh, there's like, you know, these supernatural things are happening. It's like, no, this is the reality and this is what our thoughts are. And it's like, Oh, you're right. Correct. Thank you for reminding me about this and reminding me that it gets better.
PRINCESS: [00:20:06] Exactly. I love that. Now, what about movies? Because I really love your pick. And I want to hear more about why this was what you want, why this is what you loved.
TESSA: [00:20:17] Okay, so for my pick, I chose the Fear Street trilogy as my favorite Netflix movie.
CLIP: [00:20:25] Fantastic choice. I love this one.
TESSA: [00:20:28] Fear Street is like three slasher films that were released on Netflix last year as sort of like a three part event. There was like Fear Street 1994, 1978 and 1666. And these three films are based on the book series by R.L. Stine, who's best known for Goosebumps. And it's about a group of teens that, like, take on this evil force that has cursed their town Shady Side for centuries. And just like BoJack, to me, the Fear Street trilogy fucking changed the game. It has pioneered this new form of movie release, like releasing a trilogy back to back weeks apart. It's unheard of and it's taking horror, like, to the next level. It's like not only did these movies have interesting storyline that had me immediately hooked because it had Salem Witches, Summer Camp Massacre, dead serial killers like coming alive and committing mass murder is like put that together with a group of teens like that is stylized and has like period costuming and shit like that is my shit. That is perfection to me. But the best part, like the two best parts about Fear Street to me, the first was just like the horror references themselves. It was one of those things where it's almost like stranger things and that like the first movie, 1994 was such an ode to like horror movies like Scream, and it felt so nostalgic while still telling an authentic, original story. And again, the production design just transported the audience right there. It was so well-done and capturing like the feeling of that time period. And then so then you have that and then it goes to 1978 and then it's just like summer camp, Friday the 13th, like, okay, we're going there, let's like dive into those vibes and then it goes to 1666, every good like Salem Witch Gay Crucible movie like, are you kidding me? This is that's why I love Fear Street. And it just made me it reminded me of how much I love horror movies.
PRINCESS: [00:22:40] So that's why I love it. Oh, I love that for you. I think it's so good when you find something that really loves horror. Like as a horror fan, there are a lot of things that come out that are like they say that they love horror, but it's like they love elevated horror, which is like,.
TESSA: [00:22:58] Right, that's the new tthing these days, everyone's doing that. It's like I'm just like give me a slasher.
PRINCESS: [00:23:03] I want the mess. Yeah, I want the mess. I want the mess.
TESSA: [00:23:09] Do you like horror tropes? I have a question.
PRINCESS: [00:23:11] Oh, I do. I love there are certain horror tropes I love. Like when I saw Black Phone, the Ethan Hawke film. Like, I just love like a sassy kid. I love like sassy little kids are the best. I love this. I've always been a fan of the final girl trope. I actually just rewatched the original Prom Night with Jamie Lee Curtis from like 1980. And I just loved the aesthetic of, like, you take the time to meet all these kids. Some of them are kind of dirt bags, and then you just slowly watch them get massacred and like. It's just fun. I love like I actually loved prom night because usually like, you know, the whole that the sexual a sexually promiscuous character dies first. And it was like, no, this time it was the Virgin. And I was like, That's right, anybody can get it. But yeah, I love horror tropes.
TESSA: [00:24:02] Yeah. And this I think this movie just sort of reminded me at least how fun horror movies can be. They're fun. So what about you, Princess?
PRINCESS: [00:24:11] On the flip side. So I have a weakness for young women who go back to their hometown to find themselves and hang out with a bunch of kids along the way. So in 2020, the film Feel the Beat, came out with Sofia Carson, who is from the Disney Channel. Just like Tessa. So it's about this young dancer named April, who is a young dancer who is trying to make her break in Broadway. And she steals a cab from a lady during a rainstorm to get an audition because she's like, I'm running late. I got to go. And she does really well, but then finds out that the person that she stole the cab from is a sponsor. And when she recognizes April, she like vows that nobody in Broadway will ever hire her again.
CLIP: [00:25:04] Missy your dreams will never come true. Because as long as I live and I've got a lot of years left, I will make sure that you are never hired for any show on Broadway, off-Broadway or off Broadway. Your career is over, Chorus girl.
PRINCESS: [00:25:18] And she tries to apologize and ends up making her fall off the stage. And of course, it gets captured on on camera goes viral. She's like, My life is over. I'm destroyed. So she's like, time to go back home to the boonies. And then she goes back home to Wisconsin and she bumps into her old dance teacher who's like, you know, you should come and, like, teach these kids. And, like, over the years, she's become, like, professional, like, professional Broadway dancer, like, no nonsense, very stern. And so, like, she teaches these kids, but teaches them so mean. She just has like she's just like she's like, know your mark. Do all this. And slowly but surely, she meets her old boyfriend from before.
TESSA: [00:26:05] Oh, my God.
PRINCESS: [00:26:06] Like her ex's little sister, like, looked up to her, and they have to reconcile. Basically. It's just like. It's like a feel good movie about a girl learning to reconnect with why she loved to dance, becoming like a teacher.
TESSA: [00:26:21] Oh. jesus christ.
PRINCESS: [00:26:21] And like what I love about it. Spoiler alert is that like, she doesn't have to choose in the end between like, do I want my successful career or do I want to teach this kid? She's like I she ends up being able to do both because I hate it when somebody who's ambitious has to be like, I got I've got feelings.
TESSA: [00:26:39] Same, Princess.
PRINCESS: [00:26:39] She's like, when they're like, I got feelings. So no, I can't be a bad ass. But she's like, No, you still have to show up on time.
TESSA: [00:26:45] Women can do everything they can do and everything.
PRINCESS: [00:26:50] She can do it all. And then her happy ending is getting to, like, help her kids perform, helping them find their way, but also like she's going to do her Broadway job because that's what she's been working towards her whole life. And I'm like, I love that because I just it felt so fun and it really felt like a genuine love letter to like all the people who work really, really hard to make their dreams come true and, like, get sidelined and then find their way back. And that's my weakness. I love films like that. I love I love things like that. And so my friends, we watch it on a movie night and I'm just like, This movie is really good. I really love Feel The Beat. It made me feel very happy. And I love Sofia Carson. She's very talented. I loved her in Descendents, so I was just very happy to see her do things. And like it was a very diverse group of kids too. And like in meaningful ways, they had a young black girl in there, but her hair always looked correct. You know, she wasn't out here looking cray. And like they had a young girl who was deaf and they found ways to incorporate that. And like pretty much people knew how to sign throughout the whole thing. And I'm just like, this is really sweet. And I, I just love that kind of stuff. I love a sweet, wholesome.
TESSA: [00:28:00] Oh, God, Princess.
PRINCESS: [00:28:01] Thank God It's Friday film.
TESSA: [00:28:03] You're, like, describing my dream movie. Like.
PRINCESS: [00:28:07] Tessa. You're going to love it. It's like tiny, tiny dancer, human from Broadway comes back home and finds love and everything. It's like.
TESSA: [00:28:14] Oh, Jesus Christ, are you kidding me? This is too much. This is also sounds like Billy Elliot, kind of like with Mrs. Wilkinson. She's like a mean teacher and then has, like, a soft spot because the kids, like, bring it out. Oh, my God. Are you kidding? I Oh, my God. I cannot wait to see this. And, Princess, I think that I won TV and you won movie. I'll. I'll give you a. movie win.
PRINCESS: [00:28:40] BoJack. It's. hard to beat Bojack.
TESSA: [00:28:41] But you can't be BoJack.
PRINCESS: [00:28:44] You can't be BoJack. But yeah, I really Feel the Beat is like such a sweet hug after, like, a frustrating day.
TESSA: [00:28:51] And it's interesting because BoJack and like Feel the Beat are two completely different things as well just on two opposite sides but still important.
PRINCESS: [00:29:03] Exactly, because sometimes you need that because I know after I watch BoJack, Girl and I need a break because I watch it all in one sitting, I'm like, What do you mean, take breaks?
TESSA: [00:29:11] What.
PRINCESS: [00:29:12] It's only 30 minutes.
TESSA: [00:29:15] Girl! That will mess you up. That will mess you up.
PRINCESS: [00:29:16] That's what I want. That's what I. want. I want the misery.
TESSA: [00:29:23] You will spiral. You will be questioning everything about your life.
PRINCESS: [00:29:28] It will literally be like. Like I watch this is like, man, I got to go back to therapy. Let's call my therapist. And then it's like, okay, now we're going to watch X-Men, you know? She said, Yeah, just find something to switch it off to.
TESSA: [00:29:42] Yeah, it's definitely one of those things where it's almost like a horror movie. Sometimes if I get too scared, I need to put on a cartoon or something that's like really happy and stupid. Like, get my mind off of the scary thing I just watched. So it was the same as BoJack. It's like after that was after I finished, I was like, I need to watch something that is, like, so pure and happy. It has a happy ending and is just, like, all good, positive vibes. So you need, you need. You need it all.
PRINCESS: [00:30:17] That was so refreshing. But first, one more thing to start wrapping up this wonderful episode. I just want to give a shout out to another one of my favorite shows on Netflix, She-ra and the Princesses of Power. That show got me through many hard times. I love that show. I love Kipo the Age of the Wonder Bees. I enjoyed Dragon Prince. You know, I just the animation department at Netflix. You guys deserve so many props because you guys are absolutely killing it. I really want to give props to the animation department for creating just so many bangers across so many genres. You guys are killing it.
TESSA: [00:30:53] You are so correct. My one more thing that I want to mention is the brilliance of Mike Flanagan. I just. The three those three shows messed me up in the best way. It was the most brilliant thing. Like, we need to do an episode about it because I am just so excited for what's to come. I'm so blown away by what he already did. Like, we need to have a discussion. So I just want to give a little shout out to Mike Flanagan about how insane and amazing his shows are.
PRINCESS: [00:31:29] Absolutely. What a man. I have cried to so many of his shows. We should have an episode about Mike Flanagan. That would be fun.
TESSA: [00:31:35] 100%. Spooky times.
PRINCESS: [00:31:37] Maybe He could come on.

Can't wait for more. Thank you. And then we have another one from LoveLucette. Very cute. Five stars. I really enjoy the positive vibes. Very needed right now. Aw, thank you.
TESSA: [00:32:44] You know what? Sometimes you just need some positive vibes, especially in fandom. I think a lot of times people like to harp on all the things they want to change, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just if that's all there is, it can just be a little much sometimes. So it's good to celebrate the things that you love as well as criticize them. We need to do a little bit of both.
PRINCESS: [00:33:08] Absolutely. And the final one, we did get a five star review from Isa Worsely. Thank you so much. We love you. Thank you.
