Hi, y'all -
Allison and Julie discuss Outlander, season eight episode 4 "Muskets, Liberty and Sauerkraut." First of all, stop the sauerkraut slander! B) Great scene work from Sophie Skelton and Charles Vandervaart. 3) All hail, Queen Elsbeth (Frances Tomelty)! Finally, the word for the belty-hangy-thingy is a chatelaine. They look pretty cool.
Lots of love,
Allison and Julie

Hi y'all -
It's fine. We're good! But...a real come-down from a bear attack, y'know? Lots of hot pess and good work in this episode. Special tri-corn hat tip to Charles Vandervaart as William, really serving that bug vest. Hey Jamie...quit being such a turd. Your wife is a wizard! Get with the program.
Lots of love,

Hi y'all -
Allison and Julie got together to watch and talk about Starz's Outlander, season 8 episode 2, "Prophecies." This episode has EVERYTHING. The hottest of piss, great direction by our gal CaitrĂona Balfe, late-night grave digging, great costuming, a new baby, and a bear attack....whuuuut?? This one reminded us of the good old days of our time with this show!
Lots of love,

Hi y'all -
Allison and Julie got a lil' high and very much enjoyed watching Starz's Outlander, season eight episode one, "The Soul of a Rebel." Minus ONE THING, we loved it! Probably a lot of you agree? Aaaannyway, Patti, please enjoy us joking around and occasionally spouting some trenchant criticism. Confidential (not really) to David Berry....we love you. What books would we take through the stones back to the Revolutionary War? No paperbacks, of that we can assure you.
Lots of love,
Allison and Julie

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT'S UUUUPPPPP?
Allison and Julie got together to watch and react to (one of?) the Outlander season 8 teaser trailers, and the new opening credits as sung by the great Annie Lennox. Looking to be "in" next season - bees. Pointing a gun at Coinface? OUT.

Hi everyone -
Better late than never, here is our fan-requested episode where we (Julie and Amelia) say nice things about Blood of My Blood that aren't all about the actors, the costumes, or the Scotland porn. We also finally address all those Fiery Crosses in the finale.....pssst! It's the Jacobite Rebellion!
Lots of love -
Amelia and Julie

Shut the door to the bothy, babes: it's time to snuggle up with Julie and Amelia's coverage of the season finale of Blood of My Blood. They delighted in the casting department's latest triumphs (baby Claire! Hot Uncle Lamb! MAURA GRANT MACKENZIE!) as much as they despaired of the logic of time travel. And can we get a little commotion for getting this strong sexual content past TSA?

Hi, y'all -
Amelia got together with friend of the show Keenan Caldwell to discuss Blood of My Blood episode 9, "Braemar." Lots of wig talk, happiness at having a more robust plot to gab about, and a big pig hunt. Shout out to Jhon Lumsden as Malcom, you seem like a good man. What else does a gal need, other than being allowed to marry who she wants?? Tell me that!!
Lots of love -

Hi, y'all -
Hey! When we begged for 'hot pess,' this was not what we meant!
Amelia and Julie sat down to discuss the Starz series Blood of My Blood, episode 8, "A Virtuous Woman." This one can go kick rocks. Enough with the humiliation of women! We are all very aware how bad it sucked/sucks! It is nice to see the women banding together - Julia and Mrs. Fitz both rule. And though we were not a fan of this story line, Harriet Slater really knocked it out of the park as Ellen.
Lots of love,
Amelia and Julie

Hi, y'all -
Friend of the show Jen Moniz dropped in to chat with Julie about Starz Blood of My Blood, episode 7 "Luceo Non Uro." A lot of noise, not much action. Murtaugh is (rightly) pissed! Ellen is thinking so fast! Julia is...gardening! Let's get through this thing together, shall we?
Lots of love -
Julie and Jen

Hoo, boy. We've about had it up to here with this crap. You've been warned.

Hi, y'all -
Finally some real, hot...PESS! Julie and Amelia were excited to watch Starz's Blood of My Blood, season 1 episode 5, "Needfire." Time to go to the Beltane Baaaaalllll!!! So much to see! Incredible costuming. Fun mask work. Some really sexy ruining! This episode has it all, baby! Including some great drunk acting from our favorite lil' Pamplemousse (Murtaugh), Rory Alexander. He's queueing up The Cure on his Walkman as we SPEAK.
Confidential to Mistress Porter...can I tour your garden? No reason.

Hi, y'all -
....Zzzzz..zzz...what?!? Huh? We're awake! Amelia and Julie discuss Starz's Blood My Blood season 1 episode 4, "A Soldier's Heart." This one is mostly about Henry Beauchamp, played excellently by Jeremy Irvine. Firstly, celebrate scaffolding! Secondly, look at all the beautiful Scotland porn on display! Hey! Wake up!! We're about to go to the ball!

Hi, y'all -
Amelia and Julie chat about Starz's Blood of My Blood, s1 ep3 "School of the Moon." First things first - lets all give it up for Conor MacNeill, our Young Ned. He is absolutely crushing it! Time to bring back an old hashtag....#gowanforit. Ellen has to marry everyone because her brothers suck! Julia has to make a terrible decision. Nothing quite like 'the good ol' days,' amirite, ladies?
Lots of love -

Hi, y'all -
Amelia and Julie did it. We watched episodes 1 and 2 of the Starz Outlander prequel series Blood of My Blood. We had a good time (mostly), and are happy to be back in the recording mode! Highlights - Young Ned, Baby Pamplemousse (duh), and costumes and cinematography galore. Since we're in world-building mode here, I don't think it could be said any better than Amelia put it - "Celebrate Scaffolding!"

Hi!
While Allison takes a well-deserved summer break, Amelia and Julie got together to watch and react to the Starz-official trailer for the Outlander prequel series, Blood of My Blood. As always, we couldn't figure out tech shit, so just trust us on the time stamps. We also conflated Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Fitzgibbons, we're very sorry book readers! Let's all hope that this show is great. We are very excited for Baby Pamplemousse!

Hi, y'all -
Let's wrap Dudelander season 7B up with some beef sticks! Here is part two of two, as always, unhinged, drunk, and all over the place. Big shout out to Kevin and Neal! They really don't like the show, but they do love attention.
Lots of love -
Allison, Julie, Amelia (and the Dudes)
Hi y'all -
You know what everyone needs right about now?? Some fucking Dudelander!
Kevin and Neal joined us to chat about Outlander season 7B. As always, not a one of us can shut up! So this is part one of two. Listen in to hear some bits, some ridiculousness and a LOT of tangents. Extra special thanks to our editor, Chris Barrett for making sense of the chaos. Enjoy!
Lots of love,
Allison, Amelia, and Julie (and Kevin and Neal)
Hi, y'all -
On Saturday, February 8, 2025, we performed a most excellent live show at Chicago's finest dive bar, The Oasis Tavern, wrapping up all of our thoughts and feeling about season 7B of Starz's Outlander. True to our brand of professionalism, our recorder did not capture the audio. So...herein you will discover an episode in which, using our notes and our excellent friends who attended in person (thank you, Jen and Scottie!), we attempt to somewhat recreate the live show. Enjoy!
Thanks to Michelle, Ben, and John from the Oasis!
Lots of love -

Hi, y'all -
Allison and Julie got together remotely to discuss the finale of season seven of Starz's Outlander, "A Hundred Thousand Angels.' This episode was...not really our favorite! Remaining excellent, however, are Amelia's jokes from the live watch attached below. This episode has some book spoiler-y stuff in it around 27:50 to 34:00-ish and again around 48:30-ish. Here's a spoiler for free; David Berry is the shit.
Lots of love -
Allison and Julie
**Amelia's jokes in absentia:
1) During peeing in the bucket "Written in My Own Heart's Urine. Blood of my Urine."
2) During blood type conversation "Claire's blood type is O-positive."

Hi, y'all -
Allison, Amelia, and Julie got cozy together to talk about Starz's Outlander season 7 episode 15, "Written In My Own Heart's Blood." We enjoyed this one a great deal! All hail Sam Heughan getting it done in-TENTS. But we gotta say...the stars, Starz? THE PAINTING?? Come on.
We'll be back in two weeks for the season finale!
Lots of love -

Hi, y'all -
Allison and Julie got together remotely to chat about Starz's Outlander s7B ep 14, "Ye Dinna Get Used To It." They both really enjoyed this one! As Allison says, this episode has everything - fashion eyepatch, sexy cheese, and a slimy worm. Enjoy!
Lots of love -

Hi, y'all -
Allison, Julie, and very special guest J.B. Fletcher (Allison's dog, not the one who wrote murder) get together to chat about Outlander s7B episode 13, "Hello, Goodbye." Overall a pretty enjoyable episode! We love Weeian and Rachel's wedding, and Roger's Dad is hottttttt. The thing we both love the most? The Scottish Highland landscape porn (drool).
Best Holiday wishes,
Allison, Julie, and J.B.

Hi, y'all -
Fragile masculinity is on parade in this episode of Outlander, and, as you can imagine, Allison and Julie are having none of it. They thought you were dead! Everything is OK, your biological Dad is hot, and if you don't want to talk to him, you don't have to! Ugh! Rachel and Denzel give us some good scenes, and Coinface really brings it. Watch this episode just for his 'no fucks to give' face. It's worth it.
Lots of love -
Allison and Julie
