Shipping Room Podcast

Raise your hand if you're in love with Peter Kavinsky? ...and now that we're all gathered here, Tamar and Christine are super excited to talk about the hits and misses of Netflix's brand new romantic comedy surge. Was Set it Up the set up to this entire movement? Is A Christmas Prince a good movie, a GREAT movie, or a really really bad movie? Was The Kissing Booth a terrible bait-and-switch? Why aren't there more movies like Alex Strangelove?  And of course... we're talking about To All the Boys I've Loved Before (and Christine is REALLY adamant that everyone goes on to read the books!) and the magic that is Pacey Witter, oops, Peter Kavinsky! We're also talking about what we're looking forward to in fall TV (HINT: The Good Place premieres on Sept. 27!) and we're addressing the big Greg recast on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.  And Christine is really f*cking excited about Murphy Brown. As always, the episode never ends here! Find us on social media @shippingroompod to keep the discussion going! We'll be waiting! :)

Tamar and Christine absolutely loved their chat with Sera Gamble, co-creator of YOU, coming to Lifetime on Sunday, September 9th!  We discussed slowburn shipping, magic and chemistry, Penn Badgley, and social media stalkers with Sera in this insightful interview. You're definitely going to want to give this interview a listen, and then immediately mark your calendars to watch YOU on Lifetime, as well as Season 4 of The Magicians! YOU is sure to become a staple of The Shipping Room! Many thanks to Sera for taking the time to chat with us.     

It's finally happening!! #TeamCharles fans have been waiting and waiting and WAITING and now the time of Liza and Charles has finally arrived. Was it everything you'd hoped it would be? Have you watched it ten times? Were you disappointed? Was it missing a little something? Tamar and Christine break down their reactions to this epic episode of Younger. 

This week we're talking about the different ways we view problematic romances and characters on television.  Let's be honest - we've let some stuff slide by that probably isn't great. But is all fair in love and feels?  From whether or not Zack Morris is, indeed, trash to the problems with teacher/student hookups to excusing many forms of abuse, Tamar and Christine are tackling it head on.   Don't forget that the conversation doesn't end here! Find us on social media @shippingroompod and be a part of the dialogue! We can't wait to hear from you.     

It's a sipping and shipping crossover event! Christine was joined by Janelle and Jackie of the Sipping Sisters Podcast for a discussion about season 2 of 13 Reasons Why! We're breaking down everything that happened with Clay, Jessica, Alex, Justin, Zach, Bryce, and of course, Hannah. *** SPOILER ALERT *** We discuss the events of Season 2 in detail. If you haven't watched the season yet, but plan to, and want to be surprised, hold off on listening to this episode until you've done so! NOTE: Some of the discussion surrounds sensitive topics such as rape, violence, drug use, guns, and suicide. If any of these are a trigger for you, please use caution when listening.

Tamar had the opportunity to attend the ATX TV Festival in Austin and record in their brand new festival podcast headquarters. She is joined by the ladies of The Bold Type, Aisha Dee (Kat), Meghann Fahy (Sutton), and Nikohl Boosheri (Adena) as well as showrunner Amanda Lasher, to discuss the relationships on the show and what we can expect from season 2. Be sure to check out the season 2 premiere NOW on Hulu, and catch new episodes of The Bold Type Tuesdays on FreeFrom, starting Jun 12. 

We're back this week catching up and reminding our listeners where Liza and the gang were the last time we saw them ahead of the Younger Season 5 premiere on June 5 on TV Land! We're talking about the road so far and where we hope the fifth season of one of our favorite shows on television tackles this time around. We're also checking in and updating you on what we're watching, what's been canceled, what was saved, and the Royal Wedding. Because we can't NOT talk about the Royal Wedding.  This episode of The Shipping Room is sponsored by Audible.

This week we're taking a small break from "ships" to chat about our favorite squads! Thanks to listener Gabbi for sending us her top ten squads and inspiring this episode!  What makes a good squad? Which shows featured the most "goal-worthy" crews? We look at some of our favs, from Friends to Grey's Anatomy to Riverdale. Who are some of yours?? Be sure to find us on twitter @shippingroompod to continue the discussion. 

This week, we're talking about reunions! (And we're having our own reunion as well!) Listener Andrea sent in this idea, and we were shocked to discover that we hadn't done an episode about our favorite reunions yet! (Thanks Andrea!) Which reunions gave us happy feelings? Which ones kept us on the edge of our seats? Which ones took far too long to happen? And why do we love the cheesy reunions so much, and the ones that are so easy to predict? Christine's also giving a Shameless update, and we talk about what we've enjoyed so far from the new TV season! Don't forget to find us on social media @shippingroompod and share your thoughts with us! We can't wait to continue this conversation!

We could think of no better guest that listener favorite, Buzzfeed's Jarett Wieselman!  We're talking Sydney and Vaughn, the entire Bristow family, where the show was at its best, and sadly, where it fell short, and of course, MUCH, MUCH more!

This week Tamar and Christine attempt to remember the details of the beloved CW/UPN show, Veronica Mars.  Obviously Logan and Veronica are amazing - but what about the other 'ships on Veronica Mars? Did Veronica and Piz drive you crazy? We you just as shocked as everyone else that Logan could ever care about anyone who wasn't Veronica? Was Leo given a fair shot at love with Veronica? Are Keith and Veronica the best father/daughter duo on TV? We're talking about all of that and more this week and more!  Tamar also gives us her Alias update and we discuss whether or not we're excited about the new fall TV season.
