Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is The Wedding People, a novel by Alison Espach that's circulating heavily at her library and lived up to the hype. Mentioned: The movie Elizabethtown.
Terri's random recommendation is a writer she's shouted out before, Brian Grubb. This time, he's got a take on Reacher that delighted both Terri and her husband. If you haven't watched the show, here's a scene to give you a taste.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2018 on sharing, and when it's OK not to.
Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E19, "S.O.S.," on Tuesday, April 29Running Point S1 E6, "The Yips," on Wednesday, April 30Weekly roundup on Thursday, May 1
Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This episode brought us the inevitable falling-into-a-pool-in-formalwear moment (three out of five Gordons), which is definitely some kind of sitcom law. And though raised by a single mom, Jackie shows he's savvy enough to play Mom against Dad, or in this case, brother against brother. Mentioned: Retta and Ike Barinholtz praising Max Greenfield's dance moves on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 6, "The Yips." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode was nothing but sad, as we flashed back to Hurley's time in a psychiatric hospital and learned more about who was (and wasn't) there with him.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 19, "S.O.S." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a series of children's early chapter books starring a rat named Ratnip. And yes, there's one about a slice of pizza.
Terri's random recommendation this week is a celebrity podcast. We'd only do this for Amy Poehler! Mentioned: The Afterparty and the Parks & Recollection podcast.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2016 (!) on the parenting finish line. Mentioned: Our discussion on how to define "young adult."
Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E18, "Dave," on Tuesday, April 22Running Point S1 E5, "Beshert," on Wednesday, April 23Weekly roundup on Thursday, April 24

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This week, two brothers are entirely absent, but the other two are uncomfortably close, as Ness camps out at Sandy's pristine (clearly child-free) home. Meanwhile, Isla's usual "flip the script, come out on top" plan doesn't come together by the end of the episode. Mentioned: Korean dol ceremony and Brian Grubb's "Customer Reviews of the White Lotus Family of Resorts."
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 5, "Beshert." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, we get yet another reminder that Locke's pre-island life was a real bummer, in case we forgot. And his comfortable island life in the hatch is upended too.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 18, "Dave." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is Menopause Makes: Empowering Sewing Projects to Relax Your Mind, Cool Your Body, and Ignite Your Creativity. It's a book that hops on a trend and gives it a twist. But we're not sure if it's going to have the intended effect.
Terri's random recommendation this week is two comedians that the Facebook algorithm has decided (correctly!) that she, a person of a certain age, will enjoy: Brian Kiley and Andy Huggins.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2023 on our kids and their sibling relationships.
Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E17, "Lockdown," on Tuesday, April 15Running Point S1 E4, "Doljanchi," on Wednesday, April 16Weekly roundup on Thursday, April 17

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. The episodes certainly follow a pattern, but they are enjoyable and make us laugh. And after this one, we're ready to hire Marcus as a parenting coach.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 4, "Doljanchi." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. In this episode, surprise! We're going to need another cradle. Also surprise (not really): Henry Gale isn't who he says he is. Mentioned: The "Got any milk?" scene and My Girl Barks on X.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 17, "Lockdown." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a cute kids' game that can be played solo or collaboratively. It's called Cat Crimes and seems like a twist on Clue for young players (there's no murder!).
Terri's random recommendation this week is Facebook groups for any ailments or fancy medications you might be taking. It's a techie upgrade on bonding with fellow patients in a waiting room.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2017 on the delicate art of delegating.
Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E16, "The Whole Truth," on Tuesday, April 8Running Point S1 E3, "The Travis Bugg Affair," on Wednesday, April 9Weekly roundup on Thursday, April 10

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. So far, the show has ups and downs (like a sports team does!), but there's a lot to like—especially the performances of Kate Hudson as the lead and Brenda Song as her best friend. Mentioned: Song and her partner, fellow child star Macaulay Culkin.
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 3, "The Travis Bugg Affair." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This episode showed that the women of the island are just as inclined as the men to run off on a dangerous errand in the jungle (well, Kate will join in no matter who's going). Also, we missed Sawyer's baby-whispering skills. Mentioned: George Clooney in the storm sewer on ER.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 16, "The Whole Truth." Tomorrow, we'll continue our discussion of a newer show, Running Point. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a cool service called LibriVox that offers free public domain audiobooks, read by volunteers. Terri may have found her next volunteer job, as a "prooflistener."
Terri's random recommendation this week is mahjong solitaire, which she plays on the Mahjong Titan+ app and on the AARP website.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2023 on good mom moments (elusive, but so exciting!). Mentioned: Tiny Triumphs on Extra Hot Great.
Next week's lineup:
Lost S2 E15, "Maternity Leave," on Tuesday, April 1Running Point S1 E2, "Joe Pesci," on Wednesday, April 2Weekly roundup on Thursday, April 3

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and now that we've finished season 1 of A Man on the Inside, we're moving on to Running Point, a new Netflix comedy starring Kate Hudson. While this pilot episode was pretty pilot-y, it was also a lot of fun, and we're looking forward to seeing what comes next. Mentioned: The harrowing ER episode "Love's Labor Lost" (1995).
Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 2, "Joe Pesci." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This was another tough episode, which gave us even more (unwanted) details about Sayid's career as a torturer. Plus, another new character appears on this allegedly deserted island.
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 15, "Maternity Leave." Tomorrow, we're kicking off a new watch, Running Point. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is perfect for the cat-lover in your life: A History of Art in 21 Cats by Nia Gould. We also suggest visiting the author's site for more cat goodies and the cutest cursor we've seen on the World Wide Web.
Terri's random recommendation this week is also a book: Kelly Bishop's memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl. Terri found it made for a delightful afternoon of listening. And, in an update from a few weeks ago, she's got a new answer to the question "What is AI good for?" Mentioned: Past library find All the Beauty in the World, Hallmark (or Hallmark-ish) movies Love Struck Café and Cloudy with a Chance of Christmas.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2021 on saying yes to saying no (and which of us is the naysayer in our household).
Next week's lineup:

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and we've now finished up with A Man on the Inside. While we enjoyed the actors' performances and the gentle humor, we do feel a bit duped by the promise that this was a mystery show; the case was closed within the first few minutes of the finale. Still, we'll probably be back for season 2. Mentioned: Monica's closet on Friends.
Next Wednesday, we'll start a new watch: Running Point, on Netflix. It stars Kate Hudson as a woman who unexpectedly finds herself in charge of her family's pro basketball team. Former Disney kid Brenda Song appears, too, with some very non-Disney dialogue. We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. -
Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This week's episode was another round of "Sawyer is hateful because he wants to be hated" (as diagnosed by Kate), with a side of "lonely people can easily break bad" (we hope no one finds out how Charlie was involved in Sawyer's con).
Next Tuesday, we'll continue with season 2, episode 14, "One of Them." Tomorrow, we're back with the finale of our sitcom, A Man on the Inside. -
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a slim, slightly twee French novel, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro by Christine Feret-Fleury. She doesn't give it a full-throated endorsement, but if you'd like to vicariously visit Paris and you love books, you might enjoy this. (And if you'd like to help us define the words "quirky" and "zany," leave us a comment on Instagram, X, or Facebook).
Terri's random recommendation this week is a productivity tool she's trying called Clockify. It's helping her work with her distractible tendencies, instead of fighting against them.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2020 on the challenges of turning negative self-talk around, in our kids and even in ourselves.
Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E13, "The Long Con," on Tuesday, March 18A Man on the Inside S1 E8, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," on Wednesday, March 19Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 20

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. While this week's episode did return to the mystery ostensibly at the heart of the show (and end on a cliffhanger, of course), it was still mostly about the melancholies of aging, with a hefty side of parent-child conflict. Cheery!
Next Wednesday, we'll watch the season 1 finale, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup. - Laat meer zien
