Do You Actually Like...?
by DYAL Podcast
A fortnightly a.k.a. biweekly podcast where we really get into what we are supposed to love most about pop culture... But might not.
Episodes
-
Do You Actually Like...Rom Coms?
The Rom Com is a classic movie genre, except for all those times it was 'saved' by a movie-making heroine. Does the rom-com even need saving? Is it worth saving? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea unpack the tropes, list the legends, and sing praises to our lord and savior...Bridget Jones.
-
Do You Actually Like... Harry Potter?
Woah you guys. This is a big one. Harry Potter. It's a whole big thing. Books, movies, other books and movies, merchandise, fan clubs, many whole podcasts - so many things have come about as a result of the Boy Who Lived. But no franchise is without its problems... and this one has some big ones....
-
Do You Actually Like...True Crime?
Obviously, we do not *actually* like crimes being committed. But, if you have ever read a few articles about a local murder, deep-dived into a couple serial killer wikis, or just thought 'I need to know more!' when hearing about a cold case...Brigitta and Andrea are here to help! True crime is a...
-
Do You Actually Like... Survivor?
Oh Survivor, our old friend. Once just a show beloved by Andrea, before Brigitta became an absolute Survivor junkie and the tables turned. Listen as we go over our favourite seasons, the differences between the American Survivor and Australian Survivor, and the beauty of Jeff Probst. Don’t worry,...
-
Do You Actually Like...Home Renovation Shows?
I mean, what would you do if you were stuck in a box for two weeks quarantining? Home renovation TV (not to be confused with Home Improvement starring Tim Allen) is just one of the addicting genres of reality television that just sucks you in. But does it for everyone? Listen as Brigitta lists…

Do You Actually Like... Instagram?
Have you been doing some scrolling lately? Occupying those long pandemic days with a little bit of social media? Perhaps you fancy yourself as a bit of an up-and-coming influencer? Honestly, what on earth would we be doing without Instagram! IG, Insta, the Gram, the app that goes by many names is...
-
Do You Actually Like...The Super Bowl?
So full disclosure this episode is more about sports movies than sports, and half time shows than American football...but this is definitely our best effort in talking about sports. What makes a good sports movie? Which one is the best of all time? Who even is Tom Brady and why was he at a…

Remember back in the years BCP (Before Coronavirus Pandemic) when you could just go places? Like you pack up all your cute holiday clothes grab some friends and head to Paris or Tokyo or the mountains or the beach (god forbid) and like do stuff your wouldn't do at home. Once upon a time this...
-
Do You Actually Like... 2020?
It took about 36 years, but 2020 has finally come and gone. Maybe not quite the start to the Roaring 2020's we had imagined... Was there anything good that happened in 2020?! I mean obviously the answer is no, but we definitely watched a lot of TV. And by a lot, we mean a gargantuan amount.…

Do You Actually Like... Jurassic Park?
Merry Christmas one and all! But especially Sheridan! This is your Christmas gift from Anna, enjoy :) SO Jurassic Park. There are books, there are movies.. but is it actually any good? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea recount the story of a billionaire who got too big for his boots and decided…
more -
Do You Actually Like...The Crown?
Another episode about the Royal Family?! Well, kind of. This 'not-a-documentary' (thanks British government, we were not confused) is one of Netflix's most elite and critically series. Does it deserve the hype? Could this show be kind of boring...but in a good way? What does this have to do with...
-
Do You Actually Like... Home Alone?
While we are all home alone for the holidays, why don't we watch a movie about being home alone for the holidays? Is Home Alone the fun family Christmas movie you remember, or is Kevin McCallister the real bad guy in this story? Listen along as Brigitta and Andrea talk through this Christmas...
-
Do You Actually Like... Hamilton?
Alexander Hamilton! A Founding Father but not a president, the musical! Is this song and dance extravaganza worth the hype? Is it a good example of edutainment? Can Andrea even understand...anything going on? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea delve into the musical that launched American History into...
-
Do You Actually Like... Star Wars VII, VIII & IX?
For some reason we are back watching Star Wars. Surely there are no Star Wars movies left after these three... Now that we have done the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy, it is time to tackle the sequel trilogy of the Skywalker Saga (that's Star Wars for those of you that haven't read the...
-
Do You Actually Like... Emily in Paris?
Bonjour! Escape the horrors of the world with the latest episode of DYAL! Oh, is it not realistic enough for you? Too enjoyable? Fun to listen to and full of joy and pleasure? Well, some critics certainly seem to think that about Emily in Paris. But does Emily deserve all the hate? Listen as...
-
Do You Actually Like... Halloween?
It's October, the leaves are falling turning (or maybe it's spring where you are, we don't know), the air is getting crisper... and then all of a sudden you feel the urge to dress up as a monster and take food from strangers. Yeah Halloween couldn't be stranger, and that is exactly why we are...
-
Do You Actually Like... Twilight?
Ah, Twilight. The extremely popular and yet much maligned series of books and movies. But what's up with that anyways?! Is it fair to criticize the readers of Bella, Edward, and Jacob? Is Twilight...good?! Listen in as Brigitta and Andrea debate the worthiness of this classic romance/horror…
more -
Do You Actually Like... Psycho?
It's a Hitchcock classic. It changed the face of scary movies forever. It was the first movie to show a toilet flushing. But is it any good? This week Brigitta and Andrea take on the Hitchcock classic Psycho - a movie Andrea remembers very fondly from some mysterious before-this-podcast time, and...
-
Do You Actually Like...Sushi?
Ah sushi...the delicious classic from Japan. Or is it? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea discuss their ideal (and very specific) sushi orders, what makes sushi bad sushi, and whether or not ordering it in Germany is ever really worth your while.
-
Do You Actually Like... Ellen Degeneres?
Well, well, well...2020 certainly has been a year of reckonings and certain (formerly?) beloved daytime TV talkshows were definitely not exempt! How do we feel about Ellen Degeneres? Was evidence of her (alleged) toxic behavior always there? Or is hindsight 2020? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea get...
-
Do You Actually Like... Birthdays?
Ah birthdays. They come around every year to remind you that you will never be as young as you once were... Or to remind you of how great you are? Whether you love them or hate them you just can't avoid them and live to tell the tale. Listen to what Andrea and Brigitta think about them, who their...
-
Do You Actually Like... Harry Styles?
The man, the myth, the legend...or just another boy-bander gone solo artist? Does Harry Styles deserve the hype? Can Brigitta stomach listening to another pop album? Does Andrea even know what fashion is? Listen as Brigitta and Andrea weigh in on the sound, fashion, and overall character of the...
-
Do You Actually Like... Wine?
Well the answer is yes, isn't it? Probably... But what kind of wine do you like? Are you a rosé all day kind of person, or a casual merlot with dinner kind of person. Perhaps you can't pass up a lovely chilled glass of sauvignon blanc (cough* Andrea *cough). Or is an obscure semi-sparkling German...
-
Do You Actually Like... The Great Gatsby?
This episode was recorded before the current Black Lives Matter movement started and spread all over the world. We discuss a book written about a white man with no non-white characters (obviously because it is a book people are welcome to imagine the characters as they please, but come on, they…
more -
Do You Actually Like... Star Wars I, II & III?
Oh the notorious prequels... The bane of most Star Wars fans' existence, and certainly not considered George Lucas's finest hour. But are they really all that bad? That is the question we ask ourselves this episode, along with several open ended WHYYYYY???????? type questions directed towards a...
-
Do You Actually Like... Podcasts?
It's our one year anniversary of podcasting so it's about time we really start to get meta on this thing! Are podcasts just the technological version of cats for lonely people? Do people who love podcasts just exist on their podcast loving high horse looking down at all the sorry people who just...
-
Do You Actually Like... Pasta?
Well, the answer is yes. It just has to be doesn't it? I mean like, who doesn't like pasta. Monsters, that's who! Think of all the beautiful pastas that are out there in the world - from rigatoni to fusilli, macaroni to linguine, lasagne sheets to orecchiette - and all the wonderful sauces that...
-
Do You Actually Like... Tiger King?
The man, the myth, the legend...but do we *actually* like Joe Exotic and the other wild characters of Tiger King? Should we? Should we really, or is there a global pandemic forcing people all around the world to watch a show about people who are definitely mishandling tigers? Andrea and Brigitta...
-
Do You Actually Like... The Royal Family II?
How fortuitous, that on the very day Queen Elizabeth II gives a historic speech on the coronavirus situation, you are also blessed with an update on our Royal Family related opinions. You truly are lucky! It was been an extremely big few months for the Firm, with news that is positive (not much…

Do You Actually Like... Dating Shows?
There are those of us that hate to love romantic television and those that love to hate it.

Dating shows...

-
Do You Actually Like... The Oscars?
It's that special time where celebrations of the best movies of the year devolve into arguments of epic snubberies, "I can't believe they got nominated for thats" (but seriously what's the opposite word for snub?), and heated debates over who deserves which awards the most. In this latest episode...
-
Do You Actually Like... Swearing?
Holy motherforking shirt balls! Our first fan-requested episode! What a great f#@%ing accomplishment. Is swearing the great taboo it's made out to be? Or, if used appropriately (and maybe not exactly sparingly) is it ok? Tune in to find the fook out! Also, what the fuck is up with WTF?
-
Do You Actually Like... the 2010s?
Are you coming out of the last decade thinking, boy what a great ten years for the globe and everything is totally fine? Ok, boomer! For some of us, this last decade was maybe slightly less rosy... Brigitta takes us through an orderly trip down memory lane while Andrea goes for a "thematic"...

Do You Actually Like... Frozen II?
Let it gooo!!! Let it goooOOOO! Let it... Oh wait, that was the other one. What is the big song for this one anyway? Anyone remember? Don't worry, we don't either. Listen to our dulcet tones (made even crisper and clearer by Brigitta's new microphone) discuss all the pros and cons of Disney's…

-
Do You Actually Like... Cooking Shows?
Let's be real. If you like food, you almost certainly like cooking shows. But what makes a good cooking show? Surely more than just a generous pinch of salt and an almost uncomfortable amount of butter? Or is that just the right amount of butter... Join us on a journey through the very best…

-
Do You Actually Like...The Downton Abbey Movie?

Do You Actually Like... Reality TV?

-
Do You Actually Like... (The) Song of (the) Summer?
Ah the song of the summer (how many thes is that meant to have?), one of the world's great loves, and of course the downfall of Brigitta who has never in her life listened to new music willingly. Listen to Andrea wax lyrical about songs of summers past and present while Brigitta politely nods as…
more -
Do You Actually Like... Taylor Swift?
She's a little bit pop and a little bit country and a little bit actress and a little bit hopeless romantic and a little bit marketing genius and probably the world's most influential Taylor. We are of course talking about T Swizzle, the women behind about a million songs Brigitta can't name but...
