That's So Original Podcast

Back in the 90s, it’s snowing, Lottie is maybe dying, these kids are hangry, and things are getting weird. Coach has decided to go spelunking in Javi’s secret art studio, the cabin smells like pee, the girls have finally become cannibals, and Akila really needs to wash her hands. In the future, the sharing shack has become the swearing shack and Lottie is over it. Let’s all just have a shot of Phe...

The first rule of Fight Club is…Tiffany has never really watched Fight Club, but according to Kelly this episode is very Fight Club-esque. The adults are back together and all in on the most convoluted therapy sessions ever created. Shauna gets to pet a goat, Tai is doing manual labor and Misty is singing show tunes in a sensory deprivation tank. Thankfully they all come back together to rock out...

Welcome to the worst labor and delivery ward ever. Picture it: your doctor is freaking out about murdering their only friend, the nurse is trying to touch your lady bits with their dirty mouse fingers, and your midwife is trying to sacrifice your baby to the wilderness. Back in reality? Callie is turning out to be a carbon copy psychopath just like mom. Nat is having an existential crisis about we...

Misty and Walt are on an adventure to find the Purple People Eater Cult (trademark pending on that name – don’t steal it.) when they decide to play Two Truths and a Lie. So we decided to make up our own game for this episode. 1. Cinnamon raisin bread makes a great sandwich. 2. Easy Lover is an excellent psych-you-up song. 3. We totally didn’t make immature jokes about the word duty. Gotcha!...

It’s uncomfortable road trip time! Adult Tai has abandoned sleep jazzercise for sleep stalking an old girlfriend. Misty and Walter are singing show tunes. Nat and kidnapper Lisa are stealing fish in the dumbest way possible, and Shauna is spilling all the tea to anyone who will listen, including the bit about Jeff’s stinky feet. In the past, it’s been approximately two days, but the teens are sick...

What does one do after they’ve gorged themselves on the barbecued body of their dead friend? Throw the most depressing baby shower ever, of course! Past and present day Misty have found their kindred spirits. Good for her. Adult Shauna has gone full John Wick, and literally everyone around here is hallucinating. Tune in for Tai’s sleep speed-walking. Stay for Misty’s emotional Steel Ma...

Jackie roasting on an open fire. Frost bite nipping at their toes. Nat and Trav getting horny by a fire and where is Javi? No one knows This episode left us with a lot of unanswered questions. Why is Adam’s disappearance worthy of a sting operation? Who/what is Slenderman? Will Misty and her new citizen detective friend become the buddy cop comedy we have always needed? What is Lottie hiding? Who...

We are jumping back in with Yellowjackets Season 2, and things are getting eerie, or should we say ear-y. Back in the 90s, things are bleak. It’s cold, there’s no food, and there’s some random girl singing show tunes while she poops. The present day girls have their own problems. Shauna and Jeff are doing the worst possible job of trying to cover up a murder, Tai has adopted another dog to decapit...

Who knew the final episode of Echoes would include so much fantasy? We meet the most observant/helpful TSA agent ever, Leni uses an invisibility cloak to evade the cops, and Charlie becomes a best selling author in a repurposed Blockbuster. The plot of this show is as hard to pinpoint as Claudia from that drone shot. What was up with that breakfast??? – Tiffany and Kelly – Song credit...

We get some huge reveals in this episode. For example, the twin’s dad (does he even have a name?) committed a brutal “mercy” killing and Leni dressed as Cher from Clueless for Halloween. And did you know Gina killed Kennedy? It’s true. Someone shouted her name on the grassy knoll. This might be our funniest episode yet. It almost made watching this garbage worth it. P.S. We are d...

Gina is here to chew gum and tell her story, and she’s all out of gum. Turns out it’s bad news for all you Team Leni fans. She’s a giant whackadoo and Gina has been covering for her ass for years. Now we get why she’s so pissed! Plus we get all the Gina and Dylan/Gina and Charlie backstory along with some more awkward naked touching with the twins. How are there still two more episodes??? –...

Things are not going great for Leni. She’s trying to keep things from unraveling while Gina keeps pulling at threads. Her birthday party was a bust, her kid is weird, her husband thinks she’s a liar, her alleged lover just got fired, and her twin sister is being a real B. What is Gina’s deal? Who can Leni trust? And who will help search that two foot of space behind the hospital? – Tiffany a...

Grab your streamers, it’ time for the most awkward birthday party ever! It turns out Tiffany was wrong. Gina is a real person and she’s real pissed. Honestly, we don’t blame her; they couldn’t even be bothered to put her picture on the shared birthday cake? She is turning her cake rage into a blackmail plot involving this burned church/dead body. Meanwhile, Leni is busy packing her designate...

We kick this episode off in style with some sisterly rubbing of their naked bodies. That’s totally normal, right? Leni is fresh out of the woods with a head injury and hypothermia, but that doesn’t stop Jack from insisting she does school drop off. She is also doing her best Mrs. Doubtfire costume changes and throwing of her voice to play herself and Gina. But Sheriff Columbo has seen...

Gina and Leni are identical twins with a level of codependency that borders on criminal. Gina lives in California as a fancy author with assistants and a therapist husband. Leni lives in Virginia on a horse farm, wears side braids and chunky knit sweaters, has a daughter and is married to Matthew Bomer. Who really has the best life here? We vote Leni. Anyway, things go sideways when Leni goes miss...

It’s been a loooooong summer filled with vacations, job changes, Covid and major decluttering. We’ve been busy, busy people! But we haven’t forgotten you. Please enjoy this year’s Top Ten list as a peace offering while we get back on schedule with lambasting some original programming. – Tiffany and Kelly – Song credit – Scott Holmes – “Hotshot”

A famous poem tells the story of how Laura was walking along the beach with Andy and noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. Andy said, “Those footprints are from when I was following you.” Up ahead, Laura notices only one set of footprints and asks Andy why. Andy says, “That’s when I was suctioned to your back because I’m a parasite who’s obsessed with you.” We have so many questi...

Do you ever feel like you’re overwhelmed? Like you’ve been abandoned by your mom in a parking lot outside a diner? You know what will make you feel better? Putting your hands on the back of your head. Trust us on this. It works for Andy in nearly every situation. This girl needs an acting coach and some breakfast STAT! In this episode, we get a ton of Andy’s childhood, when she was a terrible arti...

It’s episode 6 and we are even further away from the source material. This is more of an abomination than adaptation, but we digress. Apparently, Andy is now a super spy and Vargas keeps an emergency stash of comically oversized push pins in his car for some reason. Note to self: don’t stay at a hotel in San Francisco if you don’t want randos coming into your room and trying on y...

We get less Andy in this episode, but don’t worry she’s still doing every stupid thing she can to capture our attention. Back in the past, we get the story behind the economic summit murder, kind of. Turns out Laura/Jane has a very weird relationship with her dad and an even weirder one with Gendry Baratheon. That’s a GOT joke in case you’re wondering. And we really need to talk about Barfield han...

Oh dear, sweet, gullible Andy. Just when we think you’ve reached the bottom of your stupidity you manage to find an idiotic sub-basement. Girl, you are a sucker for breakfast and bad choices. We’d tell you to call your mom, but she’s in the midst of trying to get herself killed. Is there a family plan for caskets? Gordon better up that life insurance while he can. – Tiffany and Kelly –...

Laura – Andy, you need to run and to keep a low profile. Don’t talk to anyone until you hear from me. Andy – So, make a scene, try to get laid, call everyone I know, steal a kid’s tablet and walk alone through the woods with a suitcase full of cash. Got it. Why isn’t she dead yet? What is her plan? Do escrow people paint rooms where you live? What’s Laura’s deal anyway? When will she r...

We pick up moments after episode one. Andy is on the run and making all kinds of really smart and not potentially dangerous, incredibly stupid choices. Honestly, she’s the worst. Are we supposed to be rooting for her or concerned for society? Laura is trying out neckerchiefs and aggressively cleaning, while Gordon disposes of a body. This family is the height of dysfunction. How much are copies at...

We are back and jumping right into another twisty turny thriller “Pieces of Her”, based on the best-selling novel by Karin Slaughter. In this first episode, we are introduced to Andy, who is really killing this whole being an adult thing. She’s working a job she hates, stealing TP, and living with her mom. Speaking of mom, Laura is a speech-language pathologist by day and a closet badass by...

It’s the finale and honestly, we have more questions than answers. How did Shauna’s bump grow so much over night? What is Jackie’s deal? Who built the catacombs in Taissa’s house? Is it not customary to remove the clothes when cutting up a body? What’s Lottie got against bears? Who has the better Jersey accent? Allie, Kelly or Tiffany? And where is Javi?!?! – Tiffany and Kelly – Song c...
