Episodes

  • BWG Ep. 25 - Motocrossed 2? (Starring The Rock, obviously)

    17/05/2015 Duration: 22min

    Hold onto your helmets, people! This might be our best idea for a sequel yet. We continue our eternal quest to get The Rock in every sequel by reinventing Motocrossed, one of our favorite DCOMs from childhood. Have you ever pictured The Rock and Amy Poehler as a married couple before? After this episode you will be obsessed with the idea (just like us)! Basically, you can never have too many films inspired by Twelfth Night. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

  • BWG Ep. 24 - The Pacifier 2? (A Gay Love Story)

    10/05/2015 Duration: 24min

    Well, shortly after our Millennials episode, we opened a bottle of wine and this episode was born. As promised, we are now adding The Rock to every sequel we come up with and this one doesn't disappoint. Tune in to hear how the most powerful "power couple" gets together and how Nazis are involved.

  • BWG Ep. 23 - Millennials in Media

    10/05/2015 Duration: 46min

    Still stuck in an internet-less cottage in Ireland, we sat down to discuss how the media portrays millennials. Do they do us justice? We debate the highs and lows of shows like "Selfie" and "Younger." Also, we might end up proving that millennials without an internet connection will eventually go crazy. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

  • BWG Ep. 22 - School Of Rock 2?

    04/05/2015 Duration: 20min

    Your bespectacled hosts go where no geek has gone before: the West of Ireland - where internet is scarce and wine is plentiful. The end result is our attempt at a sequel to the '03 classic School of Rock. Our premise might seem an awful lot like Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit, but stick around until the end to hear how Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson fits in to this story. (Spoiler: he wears tweed.) And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

  • BWG Ep. 21 - Why Xena Is The Best

    26/04/2015 Duration: 47min

    Becca flew halfway around the world this week to discuss why Xena is the greatest show ever made (Shannon's opinion...)and what sets it apart from modern redemption arc shows like Arrow and the problem with spinoffs. We talk about everything: kick ass ladies, pregnancies done right, and villains with a purpose. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other.

  • BWG Ep. 20 - The Fourth Wall

    19/04/2015 Duration: 51min

    Blondes (With Glasses!) - Episode 20 This week is all about the fourth wall of TV and film. When does knowing behind the scenes info go too far? Can you overlook the sins of the actor/director to enjoy their work? What happens when real life couples break up but their characters don't? Will we ever stop crying about Paul Walker? (No!) We try to find the balance between enjoying pop culture and peeking behind the fourth wall to see how it's made. Follow us here: http://blondeswithglassespodcast.tumblr.com/

  • BWG Ep. 19 - Sports 2.0

    19/04/2015 Duration: 11min
