* / STRAWBERRY WINE ᥫ᭡

paul: i have a feeling that it's going to live up to the hype so you can rest easy. there will be no ego deflating happening tonight, i promise. paul: the most haunting sound in the universe. isn't it? love a good mindless comedy. abbott elementary is pretty high up there on my list too so highly suggest checking it out if you haven't already. one season in exchange for keeping my cool points? consider it done. just don't go slapping a timeline on it because i'm incredibly slow at getting through shows. hm, i kind of see it. what do you think though? do you think we could pull off brothers?

alycia: i appreciate that. it has a solid cast of amazing actors, so if i'm not enough to save it, i hope at the very least they are. i think you might be able to keep your cool points for that comment alone. alycia: i think it might be right up there with that clicking noise from hereditary. oh yeah? i'll add that to my list as well. since we are sharing mindless comedies, you should add vice principles to that list of yours. there is no timeline at all, but if you ever just want to sit and laugh at sheer stupidity, that's one to do it. plus walton goggins is a mastermind. i think you both could definitely pass as brothers. i feel like that's a perk you should cash in on at some point. i heard a rumor that they wanted to revamp sons of anarchy from the kids point of view, so you'd be a shoe in for abel.

paul: between your pitch and netflix's endless promo, i don't know anyone could sit this one out. i'm gonna watch it tonight and see just how shocked this ending leaves me. need my timbers shivered. paul: pretty sure that particular scene plays during a spiral into madness so hard pass. i'd say i'm more of a how i met your mother type of man anyways. phew, had me sweating. thanks for not pulling it, darling. i'll have to work hard to keep these cool points where they're at.

alycia: the joke is gonna be on me if your timbers aren't in fact shivered. promise to lie to me even if you aren't impressed? not sure my ego could take a blow like this after i've talked such a big game about it. alycia: sometimes if i sit in a dark room i can hear it faintly in the darkness. how i met your mother is such a good show. the office is a good binge watch as well. i'm pretty sure i've seen it a million times. i promise to keep those cool points in tact if you watch another season. i swear it does get better beyond season one. also it's a known fact that the world thinks you and charlie hunnam could play brothers.

paul: no apology needed. the more promo, the better. promise i'll go into it blind as a bat. skipping the synopsis and everything. paul: it's a good show but i don't think i could make myself sit through a second watch. there's only so much ross gellar that one can take. ah, solid choice. i've only seen the first season so how many cool points am i losing here?

alycia: proud of you. the 'wtf' moment at the end will be worth it. i promise. i filmed the movie and even i was a little shocked at how good it was at the end. alycia: you mean you don't want PIVOTTTT stuck in your head? oh god. i had a split moment where i thought about taking my swipe away, but at least you've seen the first season. i suppose i'll let you keep your cool points for now.

Adria: Babe, stop it—you know your Aussie accent has its own fan club and president 😏 Seeing you in Milan was everything, but I swear, it felt like a blink, didn’t it? They really do love asking the same questions like they’re gonna get a different answer each time. But YES, I’m back in town too, just arrived and trust me, I am so ready for this wine-fueled, rom-com marathon. Pop the cork and get the gossip gears turning because I want to hear aaaalll of your stories please and thank you.

Alycia: lmfaoo. are you the president? it did sort of feel that way. but now that i'm back home we have to actually use some of this time we have to play catch up. i need to know what crazy shenanigans you have gotten yourself into since we've been apart. i also need you to watch my latest film because i've waited two years for the world to see it, and i need to know what you think of it too.

paul: talk about a familiar face. netflix has been promoting 'it's what's inside' to me all week long. have yet to watch but it's on my list. paul: now, onto the important question - what's your comfort show? say friends and i might have to reconsider this swipe. @alycas

alycia: i would apologize, but it looks like netflix is doing the lords work and tossing the film at anyone and everyone it can. you will have to tell me what you think about it. it's definitely one of those films that you have to go into blind, because the twist and turns throw you for the biggest loop. alycia: as much as i don't mind friends, my comfort show would have to be sons of anarchy. don't come for me...jax teller can be very comforting.
