A Question of Taste
In the midst of our President's treason, we gathered once again to bring levity and laughter to the shitstorm that is our nation. We're celebrating our first birthday as a podcast and do so in our normal way by talking about the things we love and hate. But first all the things we love, starting with Janelle Monae's outstanding performance at The Chicago Theatre. From there we get into a discussion about the LGBTQIA+ alphabet soup and what it all means and why we all can't just be Queer? Please note that two people couldn't be more unqualified to have this discussion, aside from the fact that...

A Question of Taste
Gang - this is Episode 20! Can you believe we made it? We didn't think either of us would have lived to see the day - and what a day, both Memorial Day and .

Somehow we get back on the topic of Whitney's last years and how tragic they truly are, how our culture is nothing but assholish idol worship and idol destruction. Britney may be the only person to have come out of it alive - and she's thriving on Instagram. Justin dives into a new favorite program from -...

A Question of Taste
Dear listeners, This episode is like rapid-fire topic jumping. Think 'Hot Topics' from The View, but with better segueways.

A Question of Taste
Folks - we're back! We've been away (from the podcast, not actually away doing anything interesting) and we have so much to catch up on.

17: Hail Mary - A Conversation with Sue about life, tv, movies, music and her son - Justin
A Question of Taste
If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you've heard some of Sue's Reviews. Today we have the pleasure of Justin's mom joining the podcast for a one-off episode where mother and son face off. You'll hear some of her favorite movies & music, things she doesn't care for one bit (of course) and also a delightful moment of shade at the end because my mom doesn't care about recording a podcast when she wants to bring up family drama. Live vicariously through Justin's awkwardness and enjoy!

We talk about some job changes, the gig economy & healthcare (as if we know anything), but then easily make the transition back to and the other trash that Lifetime somehow still puts on the air. Anthony brings us up to speed on American Crime Story: Versace, and we discuss the death of Mark Salling and to mark the occasion...

That is if we don't contract Lyme disease this summer. It's going to be an epidemic guys.
Speaking of Lyme, we have to talk about #ShaniaTwainCancelled, as well as Kanye's bombastic return to Twitter.
And we're still reeling from the Beyonce performance at Coachella.
Then we visit our fallen idol with a very important question: What is happening to Alanis Morissette’s hair?
Then it's on to TV reboots, including Roseanne’s return, where the writing is bad, the faces unfamiliar and the trend it's reinforcing with now the return of Mad About You and Murphy Brown.
But let's also talk about some fantastic television: this final season of The Americans is shaping up to be fantastic. And season two of The Handmaid’s Tale is terrifying, gory and wonderful.
Part two of this episode is coming later this week where we dish on concerts, movies and more.
