Watchover with Jen and Calli and Maddie

The last season of Arrow is here and we (along with our good friend Maddie) discuss what happened and what we think about what's happening. All in all, those who watched it think it was a solid episode but Calli is still holding firm on her decision not to watch. 😉

The title says it all. As passionate Arrow fans, nothing annoys us more than the red condom wearing jerk who gets away with everything while being the cause of some pretty gnarly events on our own show. This episode is cathartic, where we shout out our frustrations into the void... if you are a fan of Barry Allen, maybe skip this one? If you feel like we do, by all means, listen on!

We're back! And we swear our return has nothing to do with the unprecedented amount of Arrow news that hit the internet, TOTAL coincidence. But we discuss the latest news before diving into a SUPER fun topic: our favorite songs for #Olicity!

It's been a hot minute, but we're back! We're talking about some of the buzz about season 8 so far and our thoughts on what has been said and what we think will happen and why the ending we see coming makes perfect sense for Arrow.

Another year, another SDCC in the can. Despite not attending themselves, Jen and Calli still have some opinions on the goings on, particularly as pertains to Arrow, Olicity and the flashforward crew. What can we expect from season 8? And also, what the HECK did they do to Veronica Mars? Again, the girls have some opinions on how some showrunners view shipping. It's a lively episode!

The ladies (plus Maddie!) are back after a longer-than-anticipated break and they have a lot to talk about! Arrow news, Bachelorette drama and how Stranger Things season 3 was the best season yet.

After several weeks and quite a few technical malfunctions, the ladies (plus Maddie!) return with a new podcast! And though this particular episode had to be cut a little short (MORE technical problems, ugh!), we had a great time talking about Arrowverse cast shenanigans, more Lauriver shade, some tv show recommendations and MORE. So give us a listen and join in the fun.

And so endeth our watch... Game of Thrones aired their series finale tonight and we had some thoughts about the events therein. We also rant and rave about a few other things because if there's one thing we're allergic to it's staying on topic. But mostly, we're #TeamDrogon.

Arrow ended their seventh season with what could very well have been a series finale. We discuss the end and how satisfying we found it (and why we found it satisfying!) and we also rant a bit about Game of Thrones which is considerably LESS satisfying right now. And Calli makes Jen cry a couple times.

Tonight we're talking endgame. No, not the super-successful Avengers movie... we think that podcast is lost forever. This time we're talking SHIPPING endgame. When the plan A couple is endgame vs when the plan changes vs when the plan SHOULD have changed. There's a lot of permutations here, folks. And lots of ship talk.

In the penultimate episode of season 7, Oliver must confront his moral code one last time. And it's a doozy. Plus, TOMMY! Also, we discuss Game of Thrones and our bottom line is basically, DRACARYS, DANY! Then we go back to Arrow cuz that's what we do.

Arrow appears to be limping into the homestretch with this little more than mediocre offering. Sure, it accomplishes some much needed plot developments, but at what cost? (Dinah Drakes ever-eroding character, apparently.) We talk our way through the episode and ultimately mourn only two more episodes with Felicity Smoak.

John Diggle finally gets a decent episode focused on his character, full of all sorts of juicy backstory information. Don't get us wrong, we love it, but we feel we should have gotten this, oh, FIVE YEARS AGO. Also: #SmoaknHawke is literal fire, Felicity isn't dying and Barry Allen remains the worst.

It's Canaries everywhere in this episode and... we liked it? Like... a lot? What is happening?? Seriously though, Arrow delivered a solid episode filled with girl power, women supporting women (and calling them out when the need arose) and some of the best Olicity domesticity we've seen since season 6. Join us for our rambling about redemption, stay for our gushing over NBC's Good Girls!

It's hard to accept something when it's such a shock, so terrible to consider. But we have done just that with Emily leaving the show and what that means for Olicity and Felicity and Arrow in general going forward. So where are our heads at? Join us and listen to us work through the particulars. There's a light at the end of this very long (20 year) tunnel, we're sure of it.

So the worst possible thing has happened... we are losing Emily and Felicity before the end of the show. It's just ten episodes but it may as well be 100 for the hole in our hearts. Join us as we try to process ourselves through the stages of grieving and search for that elusive silver lining.

We have a lot to talk about tonight, starting with Jane the Virgin (a show, admittedly, neither of us really watch) and finishing with the episode description for 7x18 with a nice healthy middle of TOMMY MERLYN. Yes, we make it work, just like we always do. Aren't you a little curious?

Okay, so it wasn't the most incredible of episodes. We've had so many of those lately that we've gotten used to them. But 7x17 had some useful exposition and we got a Big Bad reveal that genuinely surprised and pleased us. But we do miss those flash forwards. Because we love our OTA v.2.0. It reminds us of the Sweet Valley Saga. Just... listen. And you'll see.

Better late than never! We talk about the all-flashforward episode, "Star City: 2040". It was... AMAZING. We officially love and protect Mia Smoak, Connor Hawke and William Clayton-Harris-Queen-Smoak. They are our children and we want to see a lot more of them in the future!

There's been oodles of speculation about Arrow's future and the future beyond Arrow... will there be a spin off? What does this mean for Arrow's finale? Will Oliver die? What will Watchover become after the show is done? All good questions. And we mostly stay on topic while discussing it. Until we don't.

Holy frak! What an episode that was! We were not expecting "Training Day" to be one of the strongest eps of the season but here we are. And to make it even better, we were left with the most tantalizing promo for the next episode to come along since the 3x20 first dropped. So we have a lot to say and very little of it will make sense. But we do it with passion!

We continue our discussion from yesterday, about the ending of Arrow, what it means going forward, what we should worry about and what isn't worth our time. We'll get through this together, fanmily!

Stephen Amell shared some huge and somewhat devastating news with fans today: Arrow would be ending after 10 episodes in season 8. That means we're looking down the last 18 episodes of the whole show and Jen and Calli have some thoughts about it. This is part one of a two part podcast episode, including our rawest emotions and reactions to this news.

The episode was all about brothers and sisters but the take-away is that these flashforwards are a MAJOR bummer. What's the story with Oliver and Felicity and their poor family?? For people who don't care to guess, we sure do a lot of guessing! Also: Oscar Fashion. It's a week late, but when Maddie is joining us, it's never a bad time to talk sequins on the red carpet!

This episode tackles the topic of shipping... and the horrible practice of judging shippers. We even discuss the somewhat taboo topic of shipping real life people together. There's a lot of hypocrisy out there when it comes to shipping and when people disagree, things tend to get personal and sensitive. This one might get a little controversial, be forewarned! But as always, we have a good time. I...
