We're Obsessed

Jodi and Nora are taking on Boston and several other things we didn’t ask for! First, Nora shares some of her Taylor Swift song rankings before laying down the law on Halloween costumes (Kim Kardashian, we’re looking at you). Then, the girls confront the deeply unsettling news of a ‘Glee’ reboot, and attempt to make sense of the latest season of 'Love Is Blind' in Boston. They dive into cheating pastors and more on the We’re Obsessed Book Club before wrapping up with their personal obsessions.

Is Kelly Clarkson relatable? Is she capable of “asymmetrical social warfare”? Adam Rubin has thoughts, and so do Jodi and Nora. The pod kicks off with updates on the flyaway pumpkin and Harry Styles at MSG, before diving back into the ongoing Kelly Clarkson bird situation. Then it’s off to Animal Corner, where they investigate Chicago billionaires feeding squirrels nuts and the Upper West Side barn owls taking over NYC. Plus, the Lenaquake is imminent, 'Girls' is making a comeback, and, as always, they wrap things up with their personal obsessions.

It’s been a BIG week for the birds (both the women and literal ones). Jodi and Nora kick things off with Julianne Moore’s immaculate 'Architectural Digest' tour, Alexander Skarsgård’s deeply confusing footwear at the 'Wicker' premiere, and Tobey Maguire officiating his ex’s wedding. Then it’s time to enter the Banana Bowl, a.k.a. live-action 'Glee,' where the Jonas Brothers are involved and somehow so is the U.S. Department of War. (We have questions. Few answers.) Later, we head to Owned Court to unpack Shane Gillis’s 'SNL' monologue, and Jodi shares some boots-on-the-ground reporting on the Kelly Clarkson–Art of Play beef. Finally, they cap it off with a discussion of listener responses to this week’s introspective question: Are you more likely to join or lead a cult?
