Transcribe →Anglo-Filles Episode 65: Double-O Feature
Mar 19, 2018Tap to summarizeWelcome to episode 65! Also known as the one in which Alina was sure she could find a great pun for the title, but then gave up and gave in to her stupidest impulse. The “double O” refers to the Olympics and the Oscars, two things that happened that we will dissect and discuss in this two-parter. We’ll talk about the Olympics first, the post-Oscar wrap-up begins at around 1 hour 5 minutes into the episode.

Transcribe →Anglo-Filles Episode 64: Oscars So Not Entirely Disappointing
Feb 13, 2018Tap to summarizeWelcome to episode 64, in which we come back from a month-long absence (we apologize, but everything happens to everyone in January). The Oscars are almost upon us! Pull up your conveniently laid out Wikipedia page and follow along as we share our thoughts.

Transcribe →Anglo-Filles Episode 63: Happy New Year!
Dec 31, 2017Tap to summarizeWelcome to episode sixty-three, in which we ring out 2017 and ring in 2018. Make yourself some hot cocoa (with marshmallows) and listen to us share our family traditions. Warning, do not listen while hungry, it’s going to get very delicious at points. Also, maybe 2017 wasn’t all that bad. After all, this happened.

Transcribe →Anglo-Filles Episode 62: Potpourri-tangent-palooza 5
Nov 27, 2017Tap to summarizeWelcome to episode 62, in which Les Filles discuss various topics, from recent news to a recent movie release. We also hear about Redheadedgirl’s pre-Edinburgh vacation experience (no lackluster tour guide shall go unroasted) and recommend our most recent TV/streaming discoveries. Mostly, we miss being together. Download Direct as an MP3 Subscribe in a Newsreader Subscribe in iTunes Listen on Stitcher The movie we’re talking about is Murder on the Orient Express with Kenneth Brannagh. Other versions include the 1974 with Albert Finney and the 2010 with David Suchet. Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma is on Crunchyroll and if you’re into cooking, battle anime, and a more literal (but PG-13) interpretation of “food porn”, then check it out. The Big Family Cooking Showdown is something to watch if you like The Great British Bake Off and Nadiya. If you’re outside the UK, it may be on Netflix. The Good Place is currently airing its second season, but the first may be available on your local streaming service. P.S. Alina’s headset has finally put her, itself, and you, dear listeners, out of its misery and broke for good. A new one is in the mail and hopefully brings better quality with it.
