  • Parenting Tips from “Only Murders in the Building” S5 E6, “Flatbush”

    Parenting Tips from “Only Murders in the Building” S5 E6, “Flatbush”
    Oct 8 2025
    Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This week's episode took a Lost turn by showing us flashbacks from Oliver's formative years in Brooklyn. Plus, Meryl Streep returns, after a fire in Loretta's apartment that is hand-waved away much too quickly. We're sure it will be back.

    Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 5, episode 7. We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

    Oct 7 2025
    Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we finally find out how Locke's dad got to the island, and what's going to happen to him there. Since he's one of Lost's many Bad Dads, it's not going to go well.
    ​
    Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 3, episode 20, "The Man Behind the Curtain." Tomorrow, we'll continue with our discussion of a newer show, Only Murders in the Building.

    ​This episode was recorded in front of a live audience ... of dogs.

    Weekly Roundup: “Advanced Parenting,” Solitaired, and Parenting Independent Kids
    Oct 2 2025
    Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.

    Catherine's library find is a parenting book that at least acknowledges how tough a road some of us have. It's called Advanced Parenting, by pediatrician Kelly Fradin, MD. Mentioned: Library patron reviews of Deadpool vs. Wolverine; the 2005 movie Just Like Heaven.
    ​
    Terri's random recommendation is Solitaired, your source for a quick, brain-building game whenever you need a little break from your work. Mentioned: one sec.

    Bonus content: Dancing with the Stars week 4, "TikTok Night."
    ​
    In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2019 on parenting independent kids (titled "Grow Up! No, Don't!").

    Next week's lineup:
    • Lost S3 E19, "The Brig" (and DWTS chat on YouTube after the show airs) on Tuesday, October 7
    • Only Murders in the Building S5 E6, "Flatbush," on Wednesday, October 8
    • Weekly roundup on Thursday, October 9

    Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

    Sep 30 2025
    Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. On this episode, we question the healthcare facilities available on the island, as well as the need for yet another hour of TV reminding us that people keep lying to Jin.

    Parenting Tips from “Only Murders in the Building” S5 E4, “Dirty Birds”
    Sep 24 2025
    Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. Last week, we complained about the schtick level, and now we have issues with the plausibility level, as the trio laughably escapes the billionaires' attention in the Velvet Room and then falls for an obviously bad business deal without a second thought. Mentioned: "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" (the patter song from season 3).

    Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 5, episode 4, "Tongue Tied." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.
