6 - HGTV Sampler
Nerd x Trash
We watch two episodes of House Hunters International and one of Fixer Upper. Alex loves England and doesn't care about interpersonal drama. Also this was recorded months ago but she's still getting recommendations from Hulu based on having watched these.

5 - Return of the Jedi
Nerd x Trash
We wrap up the Star Wars OT with Return of the Jedi! We discuss various questions, including: are Yoda and Obi-Wan Good mentors?

1 - Star Wars
Nerd x Trash
We start this cultural exchange journey with one of the biggest nerd properties out there - the original Star Wars, which Alex, a lifelong nerd, only got into in the past few years. How will Clare, who might have seen it before but wasn't paying much attention, like it?
