Big Little Podcast

The end is here. And....we have have a lot we want to know. Streep and Kidman face off in the courtroom acting, Jane gets some good lovin', Madeline and Ed kiss and make up, Renata destroys the world in a red jumpsuit, and Bonnie says goodbye to her mother and all the lies. There is a lot to discuss with this season (series?) finale.

We are reaching the end and the Monterey Five are tense and arguing, Renata and Gordon have nothing but a mouthful of fucks and tissues, Bonnie writes a tell-all letter, and Celeste is on trial for being a Bad Mother. This episode is like Madeline in her old wedding dress-totally busting out with things to talk about.

We are getting stressed out with where this season is going! Mary Louise is definitely manipulating everyone-even Renata, but why? To get the twins or to get answers? Bonnie is under a lot of stress and may end up under water. Ed and Madeline try the weirdest hugging retreat to save their marriage. Has Jane ended up with a wrong kind of man again? And the biggest little lie is that we didn't get to see Madeline throw her ice cream at Meryl Louise Streep. 

She Knows. But who knows? Mary Louise? Det. Quinlin? Bonnie's mom? Or is it just that Madeline now knows everyone can tell she is unhinged. We take a look at this episode which includes the slap heard round the world. Where is this season going?

We decided to go to the original source and read and discuss Liane Moriarty's book, Big Little Lies, which the series is based on. In this episode, we continue our book club to talk about the second half of the book over another glass of wine. 

*spoiler alert if you haven't read the book!

Madeline and Steady Edy are now seeing the same therapist as Celeste. Mary Louise, still convinced Perry was perfect, starts to stalk Jane and wants a paternity test-even though she seems to think Ziggy looks just like her other dead son. Meanwhile, in the 2nd grade classroom, a lesson about Charlotte's Web causes poor Amabella to have a panic attack over the impending end of the world from climate change. Madeline also ruins another puppet song for the town. And Celeste continues to try to move on from the good and bad memories of Perry-and look for....pleasure. 

Lots going on here as Meryl "Scary Louise" Streep does more acting with her cross necklace than most actors do in their whole career. Meanwhile, Renata is living her best life when it all comes crashing down. Gordon is a criminal? Celeste is taking Ambien and sleep driving? Bonnie's mom is a meddling voodoo witch? And Madeline's kids can't keep their trap shuts. Meanwhile one of the big lies/secrets is finally revealed. Join us for this juicy discussion about Episode 2

The long awaited premiere of Season 2 is here! And we had a viewing party complete with "Not On A School Night" cocktails and this live reaction podcast following the episode. Mary Louise is lurking. Celeste is having nightmares Bonnie is guilt running. Jane has new bangs and a new job. Renata is dressed in 80s glam living. And Madeline is still Madeline, but also stress eating muffins and cupcakes. Who are we going to kill?

While we anxiously await the release of Season 2, we decided to go to the original source and read and discuss Liane Moriarty's book, Big Little Lies, which the series is based on. In this episode we have our own book club to talk about the first half of the book over a glass of wine.
