I’m listening to their White Lotus podcasts and they’re so fun. Ariel has a great laugh. :)
i was searching for white lotus season 2 recaps after starting the show waaay after it originally aired. i found a few, but none were better than this one (and i quickly abandoned those other pods). now listening to their bear season 4 recaps and am loving hearing them again. 🧡
I absolutely love the chemistry between Ariel and Amanda, and their recaps of White Lotus and The Bear make me laugh out loud in public way too often. Keep it up, guys!
Funny insightful discussion. Thank you 🪷
These two are the best! Best coverage for TV
