Weekly Roundup: Goodbye Landline, “Only Murders in the Building,” “The Afterparty,” “Cutting Teeth,” and Back-to-School Shopping
from Parenting Roundabout · host Parenting Roundabout
On our latest weekly roundup, we check in on a couple of milestones: losing a landline and gaining a new capacity for passive-aggressive commentary.What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Grab Your Hankies" brought some quite awkward efforts at investigating Ben's murder (involving hiding in curiously roomy furniture and asking transparent questions). On The Afterparty, "Ulysses" gave us a melodramatic dance movie send-up and some shady behavior from Zoe's family.Catherine's library find this week is Cutting Teeth by Chandler Baker. This mystery/thriller novel's flap copy grabbed her attention with its talk of bloodthirsty, murderous four-year-olds. Yes, preschoolers!In the archives, we revisit chats on spending priorities (August 22, 2022), the costs of raising kids (August 21, 2019), and the school-supply scavenger hunt (August 27, 2014). We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E8 of The Afterparty ("Feng") and S3 E4 of Only Murders in the Building (“The White Room”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
