Mystic Pop-Up Bar is out on Netflix and of course we had to check it out and tell you all about it! We also talk about what we've been watching and try to come up with a new word for those small binges we sometimes like to do. Bingelet? Drama sprint?
Note: There are spoilers for the first two episodes of the drama in this, and we do go into a conversation that deals with sexual assault as it pertains to one of the episodes.
For more information, lists of all the names of dramas we watched, and time codes can be found over at the blog post.

The genre jar is back this week and supernatural won the poll. Seems like everyone doesn't want to talk about the real world. We get it.
We don't spoil any of the dramas, but if you really want to steer clear head over to the blog post for time codes. We'll also have a link to our massive list of supernatural shows to help you out if four just don't cut it.

This week we spent some time listening to a relatively new genre for us, C-POP and discuss some of the groups we enjoyed, some of the obstacles that arrived trying to find new music, and just generally discuss how important it is to go outside of your comfort zone to experience new music. Just like all the other music episodes, we also talk about what we've been listening to and what's coming up in the month of May (aka October 2.0).
This is an info-packed episode, so for all links, playlists, and time codes that go along with this episode, check out this blog post.

Editors note: We all are kind of in different states of life right now and access to our normal setups aren't a thing we can guarantee, so the audio may be a little weird and background noises might come up a bit more. Sorry about that. But hey, we've never said we were professional about this.
