In which we’re taking some big swings. Guys, it’s Happenstance Season 2, and this time, it’s personal. We’re finally opening up about our love lives, hopes and dreams, and c*ntservative values. But anyway, how bi is this movie? What does Roger
In which we are having a Boll-ywood… with special guest Amrita Suresh! (Jyotsna’s sister, a.k.a. the most famous brown person in New England.) This week, we’re taking on a classic of Indian cinema, and getting in touch with our swaggy sides. Bu
In which we have a wee bit o' fun...with the Leprechaun franchise. St. Patrick's Day is comin' up and we're keeping it Irish for this one. We're talkin' O'Reilly Autoparts, the potato famine and "Taken" starring Liam Neeson (who is Irish), but

In which we weave some tales...with special guest, Tyler Pruyn! (2008-2019 Marvel expert, and 2020 guy who played Chris Pratt in an unlicensed Zoom Marvel musical.) Just like Madame Web (we think) this one's all about years future and past. But
In which we bowl you over with our sports knowledge. It’s the Big Game, and it’s time to make some big bets. Can Kansas City stop the 49ers rush offense and Brock Purdy's legs? Why did Brittany Mahomes name their children that? How is all this
In which we are… winging it (we already used that pun, but whatever). It’s the Month of Love, and we’re spending some quality time with TikTok’s favorite fantasy romance book. But how “spicy” is it? What are the four F’s of dragon riding? How w
In which we are jumping for Joey… new Bachelor season, baby! And this time it’s tennis pro and notable short king Joey Graziadei. But is anyone actually 5’11? Can we name multiple pasta shapes? How are we gonna survive the Water Wars?Plus, pow

In which we are Yellowstunned… In honor of the new year, we’re releasing the first ep we ever recorded back in Summer 2023, a simpler time. We don’t even know what we talked about in this one, but it’s the reason we started the pod... Yellowst
In which we do some Grem-lyin’. Is it hard not to feed a Gremlin? What’s the worst possible way to find out Santa isn’t real? Is it racist to make up ways a movie could be racist? Seriously, please let us know. Plus, SuperWhoLock talk, the Chr
In which we are choc(olate) full of ideas. Why isn’t Timothée Chalamet British? Do they ever call him William? And does rapping in your school talent show save you from getting canceled? Plus, our thoughts on the top two Hughs (Jackman and Gra
In which we tell some doll tales… but just the white ones (in a woke way.) Who invented the American Girls? Why was Kit slaying so hard during the gd Great Depression? How disappointed will our history teachers be if they listen to this?Plus,
In which we are Gerry excited for the final rose. Our Old Bach is about to choose his future wife, and we're pretty sure we know who it is. But who should be the first Golden Bachelorette? Which of the season's contestants do we think were lesb
In which we are off track, winging it, and don't even car(e). It's a family-sized ep for Thanksgiving, folks, and we're asking the tough questions. Who is the least sexy Ghostbuster and why? Why doesn’t anyone hot ever talk to you at the airpor
In which we are (Suzanne) Collins all the shots...The SAG strike is over baby! So we're doing a big franchise prequel. But why is the title so long? Who even is the blonde guy in it? Team Jacob or Team Edward? Plus, Jennifer Lawrence's career,
In which we make (up) history… just like real archeologists. This one's short and sweet. Sam tries to guess the contents of a CNN article about the recent discovery of the oldest surviving wooden structure. What was it used for? Who made it? Wh
In part two of Happenstance-o-ween, Jyotsna tries to guess a real-life ghost story Sam heard involving her ex-bf’s little sisters’s college friend and an antique Chinese bell. But can ghosts solve racism? Are artsy people bad parents? What exac

In which we are flubbergasted... Boy, can that Flubber cut a rug! Why isn't Rick Moranis in this? Is heaven a simulation? What's up with adults beefing with children in kid's movies? Plus, our takes on a variety of Little Guys, from Stitch to T
In which no one knows what really happens... Day One is a sci-fi TV pilot that never aired (More like Day None, amirite?) But it has one surviving ⁠trailer⁠ and is about aliens, so we were like, let's do it. Why was this post-Olympics juggerna
