So the first thing is of course the Olympics. I am so excited about the Olympics. There have been a lot of Olympic scandals. Make sure you go back and listen to my episode about the ice skating scandal. I'll put it in my Facebook groups so you can go back and listen to it. Such a bunker story. Winter Olympics. Oh, actually, you know, I've also had Lauren Kipps on. She was a Bob's letter for USA. You got to go listen to that episode as well. So this week on the Olympics, you've got figure skating and curling figure skating delivers peak Olympic drama. You've got the elite athleticism. You've got the intense rivalries. Sometimes questionable judging again, go back to that episode about the scandal. And then the emotional back stories that almost feel like mini movies sometimes curling continues to be the surprise comfort sport. Quite strategy, whispered tension in teams treating a rock like it's a living thing. It's going to be right up your alley if you like chess, by the way, Tuesday's episode is about a crazy chess documentary with this unbelievable woman. Don't miss out on that. Anyway, this week on the Olympics, it's high stakes. It's you know, heartwarming. It's also sweat inducing. So continue to watch that NBC Olympic coverage. Now, if you were a TLC person, 90 day, the single life is back. And I recommend Mary Pean's podcast, Pink Shade, because she really does go deep diving on all of these TLC shows and has been at the forefront of the 90 day world for quite some time. So this spinoffs follows familiar 90 day fiance faces who are single again and reentering the dating world got help us all. Sometimes it's with a civilian. Sometimes maybe with each other, you can expect unresolved baggage, bad decisions, which really are my most favorite thing. And then sometimes producers might be sending the flags to you. Pay attention to this person because they may be walking into a disaster zone. So you know the red flags. Watch them ignore the mall, which is the most fun and ball. 90 day, the single life TLC February 9th. I am thrilled to tell you that love is blind is back. By the way, I don't know if I let Chris DeRosa know that. I hope that he knows that because I hope that he's not going to be busy to watch some episodes with me because I thoroughly enjoy watching the show knowing that we're going to recap it later. Do people find love? Sometimes they do. Sometimes they do. Taylor and Danny or Daniel, they're still together. Many at lists seem happier than ever. I still follow them on Instagram and I don't follow that many love is blind couples, but I do follow them. And they seem blissfully happy together. So I do think it is possible. I think you need to get the right city or you have people that are not clamoring to become in, you know, fashion insiders, influencers or personalities. People who truly have day jobs and like Daniels and sales and Taylor, you know, works as a nurse helping people before they have a colonoscopy. I think that that matters because they're not skewed by fame and attention typically if I think if they have a normal job. However, you know, I think some reality shows have shown us that people sometimes sign up for them because the one thing that they never got really wanted was fame. We can weed them out at this point. We're 10 seasons in. I think we're season viewers. We can call them out as they come. Now this season goes back to the Midwest. This time the singles are from Ohio. So Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati, which my friends call the nasty nanny. I do feel like I've got a lot of people on the ground here. And much like Minneapolis, we're going to have to go to them so that they can explain to us the way in which people in these three great cities think and how they operate and how they look at dating. Because it's going to be different than somebody who lives in like South Beach Miami, you know what I mean? So I'm excited because I do feel like there's a probability you're going to get some normies. I have family that is from Ohio, of course, I even lived there for a couple of decades, but I feel like I know really good people from the great state of Ohio, even though they are great rivals to Penn State, but that's neither here nor there. What you need to know is as always, these contestants are attempting to form emotional connections without seeing each other through a wall, if you will. And some of them are going to get engaged through a wall. And then they're going to test those relationships in the real world under extreme time pressure. And with a threat of maybe crazy adjacent in laws to be. So it's a full reset, I think, after last season's bleak outcomes in Denver. We were all collectively very frustrated. And I think that we can have some faith that the producers are chasing stronger matches. But maybe messier drama too because that is fun to watch. Now, there is a cast that's skewing late in the 20s to late 30s. So I think that many are going to look at marriage timelines, children and deal breakers in a different and better way. Multiple love triangles in the pods, and at least one engagement that immediately implodes post-reveal apparently are in the works. I am going to start watching the screeners this week. And I'm going to give you a thumbs up, thumbs down. I'm going to tell you not specific details, but how jazz I am. Now, the usual mix of sincerity, self-delusion, and people quietly auditioning for influencer careers while they're insisting that they're here for the right reasons are the best part of the show. Because again, as I said, at this point in our journey together as astute viewers, we know what to look for. So I hope that you join me along this journey. Okay, ultimately this show is emotional speed dating meets social experiment meets slow motion chaos. And that is why we watch it. And again, can you guys do me a favor and write to Christopher Oson say, I hope to God that you remember you've got plans. And we're going to watch Love is Blind season 10 together. So at premieres February 11th, buckle up. Remember, it's put out in tranches. And that's for us, I think, too. Just really sit in the episodes, let it master a and hope that, you know, there's a little bit of a love story out there. So good stuff to watch. Matter of time is on Netflix. It comes out February 9th. Eddie Vedder's Seattle Benefit Concert anchors this documentary about the race to cure epidermoluses, bolosa. It's a rare and devastating genetic disorder. So the film weaves music, science, and personal stories from families living against an unforgiving clock. Why do I love this? Because so often I feel like people reach out and tell me, I have a love one. They have this rare illness. And you think, we are paralyzed because how in the world do we get this message out? So the people raise money and awareness. And I'm really grateful that there's this opportunity to do that in the form of a documentary, and especially on a platform like Netflix, because I think that if we all watch this and just sort of pull our resources, great things can happen. So I'm looking at this almost like a social experiment. So it's called Matter of Time. Of course, Eddie Vedder everybody loves. Netflix Monday February 9th. Independent lens librarians is on PBS on February 9th. This documentary examines how library collection standards are shaping communities across the US. So beginning with book challenges in Texas, it follows librarians, parents, and students navigating censorship, debates, political pressure, and questions of representation. I like this because it's thoughtful, restrained, and unsettling in how ordinary the conflict feels. And I think back to when I was growing up and how sweet the librarians were. And they were so eager when you came in to help you find a great book. And is there anything better than a great book where you tuck yourself away into a corner and just fall into someone else's life or world or perspective? So I'm a big proponent of reading my mom, ensure that we were voracious readers. I'm always at the bookstore looking for books for my kids. So independent lens, the librarians. The screen murder, a true teen horror story is on who? November 11th. This is about the murder of 16 year old Cassie Stoddard. It's shocked a small Idaho community. And what begins as a hunt for random killer shifts dramatically when investigators uncover a videotape that reframes the case. And it raises the chilling question of whether teen stage real violence as performance. I want to warn you that this is infuriating. It is not a casual watch, but if you are somebody that really considers yourself an astute true crime investigator, I think this is going to be one that you want to watch. The screen murder, a true teen horror story on who? February 11th. Love Ted Bundy. Now Lord knows I've covered Ted Bundy. Top to bottom. This one's on oxygen. It's on February 15th. Ted Bundy's cousin Edna Martin brings decades of silence to share her experience corresponding with him while he was on death row. So the film explores loyalty, denial, and the long shadow cast on the families of infamous criminals. And I'm including this before that reason. You know that I know Kathy Kleiner. She survived Ted Bundy's attack. She had sorority sister friends that were murdered. There are all of these victims and there are so many projects that sort of amplify these serial killers as these mythical figures. What I like about this is it focuses on that again, the long shadow cast on families of these infamous criminals. How are their lives forever changed? And I think some of them reach out and they want to believe that their loved one maybe didn't participate in something that's horrific. And the realization at some point that maybe what they had perceived as someone opening up to them, maybe they felt like they saw different side that they got a different version of that person that everybody hates. All of these nuance as I find fascinating. And that's why I included it. Love Ted Bundy is on oxygen February 15th. Taking the stand season four is streaming on Hulu. It's hosted by Danny Brums. It is a true crime docu series that tells each case almost entirely through the testimony of the accused. Examining what happens when defendants take the stand in their own defense. So for example season four cases include Richard Acosta accused of Sir Erine as the Getaway driver first 14 year old son after a triple homicide. Hannah Payne charged with murder after a road rage pursuit ended in a fatal shooting. Laurie Phillips charged after her husband is found frozen to death in their driveway. And Charlie Adelson accused of orchestrating the murder for higher killing of law professor Dan Markel, which of course you know I covered on this podcast. So why is this show gripping? You're forced to sit with credibility, contradiction, and the terrifying power of testimony. So again, if you were somebody who likes to explore psychological dramas and true crime, this is up your alley. Taking the stand season four streaming on Hulu. And of course, I think Southern Charm is the show to watch right now on Bravo. I'm getting a continued big kick out of real housewise at Beverly Hills. And how Amanda is such a fish out of water. Summer house I'm interested in the newer cast members and storylines. Don't sit on or forget about the Valley Persian style on Bravo. And I think that's it, folks. That's it for the week. That's a lot. And I hope that you're enjoying all of it. And I hope that you reach out to me and tell me what your favorites are. I would remind you to on my substack when you go to kcc.substack.com I have a tab for my book club. So some of you are exploring your spring break vacations. You want something great to read.
