Oscars season is here — and Jessica and Kelly haven't seen most of the movies. Oops. This week's Super Woman Diaries takes a fun detour into what the sisters are actually watching, reading, and loving right now. From Sinners to Bridgerton to Night Court reboots, they get real about how much streaming has changed pop culture, why prestige film culture doesn't hit the same anymore, and what it means to just... watch something fun without guilt. Oh, and there's a brief but passionate tangent about Anaconda. You're welcome.

In This Episode:

Why neither of them can keep up with Oscar nominees (and why that's totally fine)
How streaming changed what "good" means — and who gets to decide
The books they're reading right now (including one that made Jessica cry)
What the family is watching together when you've got an 11-year-old, two teenagers, and two adults to please
Kelly's deep dive into Slow Horses with Gary Oldman
Jessica's obsession with Mr. Malcolm's List and why she loves what Bridgerton does with casting
The Night Court reboot nobody expected to love — and then loved
A spoiler about Ford vs. Ferrari that is very much deserved at this point
