Setting: A small room with two stools. White notecards are left on each stool, and the room is filled with soft ambient light. There are microphones perched in front of each.

Two women walk in – there’s a busty redhead dressed in a conservative white sweater with a blue collar, and jeans. The other woman has long, flowing black hair, darkly olive skin, and is wearing a hot pink shirt that says “I’M WITH STUPID”.

Greetings, readers and watchers. This week we will discuss the movie Eclipse, as well as check in on some of our summer shows.

Your hostesses: Brit and Carol
