Talking Trash: Eurovision

Congratulations to everyone (except Martin Österdahl) on an incredible finale and extra congrats to the winner, Nemo, who's been one of our faves throughout the competition! In this episode we're getting into the Semi Finals AND Finals, plus(!) we're jumping right into the Joost of it all. Grab your popcorn and sit back.

We've reached the tipping point, y'all! It's time for the Semi-Finals and we can't wait to see what everyone brings to the stage! In this episode we're revisiting the highs and lows and putting together our very own top 10s. AJ's big crush is a Swiss train conductor and Caitlin has a thing for the quirky Dutchman with the monstrous shoulder pads, and we agree on this one thing, to be sure: BABY-MO...

For Episode 10 (!!!) we are visting Australia, Georgia, Serbia and Sweden and BOY DO WE HAVE OPINIONS. Especially about Sweden cause those twins are creeping us out. We also got a couple song revamps this week so we'll check in with Albania and Czechia. 

Yeah, we're pretty hooked on Azerbaijan's entry, guys. That Fahree is a smoke show - we're just gonna say it. We also traveled to Portugal, Iceland, Greece, and we also really loved Switzerland this week! 

Go home, everybody! Croatia's Baby Lasagna is bringing EVERYTHING to Eurovision. Does anything else matter? Just in case, we're also breaking down the entries from Cyprus, Israel, Armenia and San Marino. 

What is a Europapa? What is Olly Alexander dizzy? And what the heck is Austria thinking with that entry? In this episode we delve into more songs -- which are coming out fast and furious now. Join us to discuss Poland, Austria, The Netherlands, England and Belgium's entries in Eurovision.

Don't worry if you can't pronounce Estonia's song title -- we can't either. But along with our new Estonian pals, we take a look at Moldova, Denmark and Germany's dreadful song entry. Things are really getting weird now and we say "bring it on!" 

Who knew that in this year's Eurovision comp, we'd get to see Russell Crowe throw shade at John Travolta -- and LIVE FOR IT!?!? We also love that so many new songs are coming out over the next few weeks. It's fast and furious now! And getting weirder by the minute... This week we dive into Finland, Italy and Latvia, among others. 

So much new music this week! We take a look at Spain, Malta, Norway, Ukraine and more, as well as Olly Alexander's tease from the UK. We've got pop, rock, witches, jungle chants and it's about to explode into waaaay more music in the coming week. 

The music is coming in hot now with so many new songs to cover this week from Austria, Ireland, Cyprus and more! And we'll share some fun stats throughout the history of Eurovision. For example, did you know when the contest startedin 1956 there were only SEVEN countries? 

We're back with new music and new details on the greatest singing competition EVER! Germany has narrowed the field down to eight songs and there's one we're pretty obsessed with. But don't forget we're here to educate you, too, so we're going into how the judging and jury process works for the contest. Where are the kinks in the system? How can a small country like Denmark compete against a monoli...

In this first episode: What on Earth is Eurovision? What makes it such a spectacle? Why do people stand still and sing ballads? (Lame!) We'll also take a look at the entires from France and Czechia, and try are level best to get over our resentment about Finalnd's placement last year. (Hint: We don't.) Americans love Eurovision, too.
