TV, Trauma, & Truth

If you are as hungry for more Paradise content as the sibs are, you'll want to hear this conversation! Perpetua & Lovingkindness waste no time sharing their thoughts on the second season of Paradise and the show as a whole. While they felt Season One told a tight, thrilling story, Season Two leaves the sibs with more frustrating questions than answers. Chief among them: Why are we still confused about A.L.E.X.?!

In the spirit of Once Upon a Time's signature flashback structure, this episode is set in the PAST! Lent has just started in this episode, and the sibs share their plans for the Lenten season. Then they head to Storybrooke, Maine for a rewatch, recap, and reflection on the pilot episode of Once Upon a Time, where they dig into the themes of hope, love, and loss that define both the series and their own lives.

In Part Two of this Wicked: For Good review, the sibs review the technical and filmmaking aspects of the movie that resonated…and those that fell flat ("As Long As You're Mine," anyone?!). P & L also explore Elphaba as a queer figure in the land of Oz, rate the soundtrack using their patented Yap, Nap, or Gap ranking system, and they share their closing thoughts on the Wicked movie adaptations.

In this special edition Watcha Watchin'? episode, the sibs talk about Marvel's latest TV show, Wonder Man. For Perpetua & Lovingkindness, this isn't just any TV show—it's Haitian (!!), it's powerful, and it's surprisingly authentic. We unpack the emotional themes of the show—family dynamics, friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. We give flowers to the series leads, and zoom out to muse about what Wonder Man suggests about Marvel's next chapter. Stream Wonder Man on Disney+!  

In their first Yap of the Month, Perpetua & Lovingkindness talk names—government names, chosen names, nicknames, and the meaning we assign to all of them. We also catch up on our current TV rotation: medical dramas & sitcoms galore, Marcello Hernández's new comedy special American Boy, and our shared watch, Abbott Elementary. Want to share your thoughts on names, or just say hi to the hosts? Send the pod an email at [email protected]!  

Welcome to TV, Trauma, & Truth! Perpetua & Lovingkindness catch up with each other during their yap of the day and hop in the TARDIS to explore the first episode of the 2005 Doctor Who reboot. They relive their first impressions of the show and discuss how they and the characters have related to feeling stuck.

Join hosts Perpetua & Lovingkindness as they use their affinity for television to explore race, heritage, faith, family, gender, and healing. Twice a month, they will revisit their favorite TV shows and discuss how they connect to their experience growing up in a Haitian immigrant household in the 90s-00s, their faith lives as practicing Catholics, and living in today's complex world.
