The Watch-List Burn Book
The Watch-List Burn Book
The Haus of Atreus
Calling all binge watchers! The Watch-List Burn Book is a podcast for those of us disillusioned with mainstream media and desperate to complain about it. Join us (Jacque and Ebby) as we dig into horrible plot twists, secretly gay characters, and book-to-movie adaptations that made us weep. At a time where our Netflix watch-lists are longer than Martin Luther's 95 Theses, maybe we can make them just a tad shorter. Find us on Twitter and Instagram! @thewatchlistbu1
#34. I Got That M. I. L. F. $
If you binged Once Upon A Time in your teens, have been obsessed with Lucy Liu since the beginning of time, or are madly in love with the Daddario siblings do we have a show for you! Why Women Kill was a blast of a series to start, and we're just buzzing to give you our thoughts on the first season. It's a series jam-packed with murder, MILFs, and maddening plot lines and we're here for the drama of it all. Lucy Liu wears so many skirt suit sets! There's big 80's hair and Italian first-wave feminists and Alexandra Daddario's tiny forehead! What more can you ask for??? Well, we could actually think of a few things. Have any thoughts you'd like to share? Drop us a voice message, or follow us on Twitter/Instagram @thewatchlistbu1 !

#33. I Love My Dead Gay Father
We're back, back, back again and this week we're covering The White Lotus or Mike White's Adventure's in Lite White Criticism! We really pull 0 punches with this episode, but that's what makes it fun!! We're shady ladies; sue us. Join us as we dissect this show's own criticism of itself and discern whether or not we think what it aimed to accomplish was successful. Jennifer Coolidge owned our asses for 6 hours and we're only slightly mad about it. And remember, as we've said on this podcast many times before-- EAT THE RICH!!!!!  Have any thoughts you'd like to share? Drop us a voice message, or follow us on Instagram/Twitter @thewatchlistbu1!

#. 32 "You Smell Like An Androgynous Baby"
Hear ye, hear ye, Solomon Goode can get FUCKED! We're back at it again and we're closing out our Fear Street series with the last movie, 1666-- or 1994 part 2. This one takes us on 4 century-long journey of rightful vengeance and the dedication of the pettiest icon who ever lived. We are now a Sarah Fier stan account!!! We LOVE a woman!!! Join us as we spend not nearly enough time roasting the entire Goode Family Dynasty and brush up on our movie critic skills as we finally crack into the real narrative of this trilogy. There are a lot of twists and turns in this plotline (and some questionable casting and accents???) but we're SO along for the ride at this point. We're dedicated. Or stubborn. Whatever you wanna call it, we watched this shit and have come to yell. So join us!!! (Do it.) Have any thoughts you'd like to share? Drop us a voice message!

#31. This is Sarah Fier to Major Tom...Your Sister's F*ckin' Dead
The wait is over, don't you cry no more!!! We're BACK with part 2 of our Fear Street series, this time gushing about how much we fucking loved 1978. Is half of this episode just camp nostalgia? Perhaps. Are we stans of this movie purely because of its commitment to the aesthetic? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out!!! Roll a joint (if you smoke those), throw your favorite Kansas record on the record player, and break out your short shorts! School's out for summer baby and it's gonna be a bloody one. (Seriously. A lot of people die in this one.) We're confident that we hate Nick Goode and are already tired of Sarah Fier's bullshit, but we're sticking around for 1666! If you wanna take that journey with us, be sure to keep a look out for our final Fear Street episode in a couple weeks! Go confess that unrequited crush you've had on your bestie for years and cry about capitalism with us!!! We love you, babes.

#.30 The Day I Tried to Live...A Witch Ran My Head Through a Meat Grinder
My fucking God! These bitches gay! GOOD FOR THEM!!! Hello we've come back to yell and this time it's about Fear Street: 1994 and why it has the potential to be the beginning of a really good trilogy, but we've still got a lot of hang-ups. Join us as we take our time to dissect this film's plot (and sometimes lack thereof) and indulge all of our 90's aesthetic fantasies. Will we lose our collective shit watching the rest of this trilogy? Probably. Are we gonna watch the hell out of it anyway? Uh...do you even listen to this podcast??? This one's a fun one friends, so we hope to have you along for the ride. Don your flannels and put your lighters in the air, throw a rock at a cop car while you're at it, and blast some Bush. It's Sarah Fier's world (apparently) and we're just living in it. Have opinions you'd like to share? Gotta Machinehead? Hated everything we said?

#28. Oui Oui Arséne Lupin Partie Deux
Bonjour! We've returned to France and to LUPIN and, you guessed it, still don't now how to speak French. We're so excited about this part of LUPIN, because it's even better than part one! Join us as we reveal the accuracy of our predictions from our first episode (our brains are enormous) and as we put our heads together to brainstorm what we think will happen in the newly confirmed part 3. Assane Diop has SO many more shenanigans up his sleeve and we are here for ALLLL of them. We are Benjamin Ferel and Phillipe Courbet stans; you should join us. Mange les riches!!! EAT THE RICH!!!

#27. I DON'T WANT YOU To Feel Badly About the Mistake You Just Made
What is UP party people! We're back with another episode, and this time we're talking about High Fidelity! No, not the terrible 2000s version starring John Cusack's angst and Jack Black's questionable cassette tape selections-- it's the 2020 Hulu remake starring Zoe Kravitz and Da'Vine Joy Randolph's "Cherise's" nail set collection HELLO! In all seriousness, we really loved this series and are really bummed that Hulu cancelled it after one season (we yell about it enough, trust us) because it's rare these days to find a show with actual well-written representation that doesn't seem like it's just being tossed at us so we'll stop complaining (looking @ you Miss Bridgerton). If you similarly want to riot at Hulu's offices until they change their minds, or are curious about why the hell we're so incensed over a 10 episode super-niche remake, give this episode a listen! (And when you're done, you can drop us a voice message ;) ) Hit us up on our Instagram/Twitter @thewatchlistbu1!  Intro + Outro Music courtesy of Marcus Lyons & Slingshot Music.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theewatchlistburnbook/message

Hi friends! As promised, we're bringing you another awards season episode-- this time, focused exclusively on the Academy Awards. Join us as we discuss 5 more films (plus some of our Golden Globe faves!) and determine whether or not the Academy actually has taste or if they're once again awarding mediocrity.
