Ah well, there are still many joys to be had, like RHOA Zoom Reunion, Pt. 11; RHOBH w/ Disney villains PK & Dorit; RHONY vs. the Russian(s) Spa (the Russians win!); some 90 Day Fiance fodder, & a few Netflix recs and an Amazon Prime doc, all for your enjoyment. Stay well, Neighbors!

Roy Cohn
Season 4, Episode 9
Roy Cohn is one of the most influential lawyers to have ever practiced in the United States. Linked closely with McCarthyism and never accepting responsibility for its defeat– Cohn was a self-described patriot who felt the ends justified the means.
He was the professional mentor of current our President and his pugnacious attitude and complete lack of a moral compass during the 50s-80s predicated the world we live in now.
So, let’s learn about him now!

“Earworms & Idiots”
How’s it going, Neighbors? Hope everyone’s staying well & keeping safe. This week, we talk our usual smack about RHOA and esp, RHONY, which is the gift that keeps on giving. We’re back in the Hamptons & Ramona’s learning not to out Lu in the “lower-level” (basement). There’s also a heaping handful of Netflix recs as well as a few podcasts. Take care, everyone!

“$20 for CATS-A Reminder to Us All”
Helpful tip, Neighbors—don’t take CBDB gummies then shop on Amazon–you’ll see why. How’s your quarantine going? We are gratefully taking our content from all sorts of place these days—A Big Mouth live episode reading on Youtube; an Instagram Live w/ Bitch Sesh; Rufus Wainwright in his bathrobe serenading us daily; the Cowboy museum & its faithful guard–everything is content these days. We have our weekly dose of Real Housewives talk, with RHOA still in Greece (yawn); & 90 Day Fiance–Big Ed has a LOT of nerve and Ash has Quasimodo’s Disease. We hope you’re all staying healthy & sane.

“The Exorcist”
RIP Max von Sydow (1929-2020)
The Margos revisit the 1971 novel The Exorcist written by the very interesting William Peter Blatty. Based on a true-ish story about a boy possessed by a demon in the 1950s Blatty changed some of the key details to create this fiction classic.
Director William Friedkin in 1973 just came off an incredible spate of box office successes including 1971’s The French Connection giving him an Academy Award for Best Director. The Exorcist became the biggest financial success of his career but turned out to be something of a curse as well.
The hosts read the book, watched the movie and decide which they like better in this episode. Plus, they talk about trivia about the book and movie.
In this episode they discuss:
Clips used:
Original TV Trailer
Chris (Ellen Burstyn) speaks to doctors
Fathers Karas (Jason Miller) and Merrin (Max von Sydow) cast out the demon
“The Devil” and pea soup
Outro Music: “Tubular Bells”

Season 4, Episode 10
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) was the master of suspense, the creator of some of the best (and scariest) films of all time, a famous director and, at times, a world-class creep. (Ask Tippi Hedren!) In this episode we talk about his childhood, how he became the legend we all still talk about 40 years after his death and discuss some of his best films and his worst behavior. Enjoy!
