44. Chatty Wednesday Sept. 21, 2022

What a long February it's been! Chrissie and Allie assure you they're still alive and catch up on a 2022 full of highs and lows. Then they spend a lot of time talking about television. Some things never change.

Chatty Wednesday Feb. 2, 2022

Just under the wire, it's a brand-new Chatty Wednesday! (Hey, you know the saying: It's Chatty Wednesday somewhere.) Chrissie and Allie are reacting to the false alarm that was BBC3's "green" campaign, discussing why the rest of the world might think Mr. Rogers was a serial killer, and asking today's most pressing question: Where do you keep your pajamas? (If you call them pyjamas, you already know the answer.) Enjoy!

Chatty Wednesday Oct. 27, 2021

It's a full-circle Chatty Wednesday as photos have emerged documenting what Gary Dollner told us more than a year ago: Andrew Scott looks great in little swim shorts. Chrissie and Allie cover this development in great detail, along with Phoebe filming Indiana Jones, Brett Goldstein talking to Brene Brown, and Jason Sudeikis being perfect yet again (this time on SNL).

Chatty Wednesday Oct. 13, 2021

It's another hot, humid autumn Wednesday in Atlanta, so Chrissie and Allie are staying inside and chatting it up. This episode is mostly a Ted talk, as in Lasso, reviewing the season 2 finale and admittedly getting judgmental (not curious) about some of the lowlights. But along the way, find out why Allie now has muscles, the outcome of Chrissie's spider saga, and the mystery of whether Phoebe was wearing a cape or a coat (or a capoat?) at the premiere of No Time to Die.

Chatty Wednesday Sept. 22, 2021

Summer vacation is over, which means Chrissie and Allie are falling into a brand-new subseries of The Fleabag Situation: Chatty Wednesday. Why's everyone talking to each other? Because there's a LOT TO TALK ABOUT, Y'ALL, including Phoebe divorcing Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the sudden disappearance of PWB and Sian's RADA Talk, Ted Lasso, Murders in the Building, and F1: Drive to Survive--and that's just to name a few convo topics. Grab a chair! (Coffee or tea optional)

Dan Gage Interview (Asst. Editor, Fleabag S2; Editor, Staged)

It's double-decker treat for two dedicated fandoms! We had a blast chatting with Dan Gage, assistant editor for Fleabag season 2 and editor of the lockdown hit Staged, starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. (Or David Tennant and Michael Sheen, depending who you ask.) And Staged also features a certain Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Who you may know from Fleabag. It's all one big Venn diagram of delight. Plus, we cover the breaking news about Donald Glover and PWB working together and try to recover after our souls leave our bodies.

Treat People With Kindness

If there was ever a week that called for Phoebe Waller-Bridge dancing with Harry Styles in shiny argyle sweaters and wide leg pants while singing about kindness--this was it. Chrissie and Allie talk through the political highs (Georgia turns the Senate blue!) and the very low lows (um, attempted coup at the Capitol) of the first week of 2021 before focusing instead on the joy and light that is the new "Treat People With Kindness" video.

The Scriptures: Season 2, Episode 5

It's the penultimate episode of The Scriptures, as Chrissie and Allie pore over the script for season 2, episode 5. We find out the Hot Misogynist is really good at it, the Priest just needed permission, and the rest of us have never wanted so badly to be a trench coat belt.

The Scriptures: Season 2, Episode 4

Chrissie and Allie breathed a sigh of relief after Joe Biden's win and finally have the emotional fortitude to talk about The Scriptures season 2, episode 4. Along the way, they discuss the Georgia runoffs, Ted Lasso, vulnerability, funeral customs, our place in the universe, and Taco Bell. It's nothing short of fucking beautiful.

The Scriptures: Season 2, Episode 3

This episode has to run like cockwork. We mean... cockwork. Sorry, our brains are somewhere else right now. Either way, Chrissie and Allie throw their hat in the ring for Best Women in (Podcast) Business and pay homage to the tragic history of the Fox Boys as they open season 2, episode 3 of The Scriptures.

The Scriptures: Season 2, Episode 2

Sian Clifford is now officially a BAFTA-winning actor, possibly solely for the way she says "Tooting" in this episode. Chrissie and Allie celebrate her delightful victory and play doctor with Andrew Scott (but not in the way they'd like) before delving into season 2, episode 2 of The Scriptures.

Just when you thought there was nothing good left in the world, Andrew Scott teams up with Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones from "Normal People" for a hilarious, touching, truly divine crossover video that we now consider canon as Fleabag season 3.

Ray Holman (Season 2 Costume Designer) Interview

You know the saying: Behind every beautiful woman in a jumpsuit is a talented man who found that jumpsuit for £38 at Topshop. That's right, costume designer Ray Holman joins Chrissie and Allie for a detailed conversation about the pieces that gave season 2 its signature style. Get the scoop on the legendary (navy!) jumpsuit, how Ray improvised on the Priest's blue jumper to show off "his arms," and his last-minute trip to Armani with Kristin Scott Thomas to shop for Belinda.

Present Laughter / Scriptures S1E1

Allie and Chrissie had an *absolutely marvelous* time seeing the NT Live screening of Present Laughter, and now they're ready to dive into the Good Book we all know as Fleabag: The Scriptures. But first they take a moment to appreciate the newly crowned best comedy in Britain, Mrs. Brown's Boys.

Golden Globes 2020 Recap

What a year, huh? (What's that? It's only mid-January?) Well, 2020 is off to smashing start with Fleabag and PWB taking home Golden Globes, Andrew Scott getting sassy with reporters, and Sian Clifford becoming Audrey Hepburn before our very eyes.

NT Live Screening: Fleabag Stage Play

The National Theatre Live encore screening of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's original stage play finally made its way to Atlanta! Chrissie and Allie had a front-row (well, more like 10th or 11th row) seat and chatted afterwards to talk through what's different, what's the same, and what's even more impressive about PWB.

"Season 2, Episode 5"

The Hot Misogynist is really good at it, but Fleabag is really bad at pretending her heart (and body) aren't focused solely on reconnecting with the Priest. Claire loses her hair but gains a Klare, Bank Manager makes off with the pinny, and this time Fleabag gives Martin an emotional punch in the gut to follow up her physical punch to the face. Chrissie and Allie are perfectly balanced as they leave no stone unturned and no trench coat unopened.

"Season 2, Episode 4"

Fleabag and the Priest seem ready for a rom-com when they spend a morning together trying on robes, testing out a Quaker meeting, and talking about guinea pigs. But the rising tension sends both of them to their corners for an afternoon of introspection (and a little alcohol) that leads to Confession, connection, and the scene that changed the word "kneel" forever. Chrissie and Allie pull back the curtain for a marathon analysis.

Chrissie and Allie pour a glass or two of red wine and dive in deep.
