We Are Not Amused

That's it for We Are Not Amused! Enjoy these crazy bloopers from over the years, and thanks for listening.

Tressa and Taylor are hands-on this week with an episode all about creating their very own afternoon tea! Grab a cuppa and listen to them review their homemade finger sammies, sweets, and a 22-year old Assam tea.

Join Tressa and Taylor for part two of their Ireland trips. Join us as we talk about our different thoughts on the Cliffs of Moher, the illness that plagued Tressa at the end of her trip, and the story behind a few popular phrases. Sláinte!

Join Tressa and Taylor as they discuss their different trips to Ireland - Taylor's first trip in 2013, again in 2019, and Tressa's in 2024. We're talking stupid 19 year old kids, tea trolleys, how you can never sleep in if you're with a tour group, and the world's oldest pub.

This week, we're watching the 1944 film "Arsenic and Old Lace" starring Bristol-born Cary Grant! Grab a glass of wine (ideally sans-poison) and listen to our review of this classic movie.

The newest episode of We Are Not Amused is live! This week, Tressa and Taylor watch and compare “Ghost” starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg and “Truly, Madly, Deeply” starring Alan Rickman, Juliet Stevenson, and Michael Maloney. Do these two movies actually have a similar story? Are there any comparisons that can be made? Tune in to discover the truth!

This week's episode (as the title suggests) is very, very loosely related to the UK. Tressa went full-midwesterner on this one—sorry, y'all! Saddle up for the story of Tom Bass, one of the greatest horseman of all time, who once declined an invitation to England by Queen Victoria herself (yep, that's the whole UK tie-in).

Space babies are here! Get ready to dive into this crazy episode of Doctor Who where Tressa and Taylor discuss the new doctor and companion, creepy CGI baby mouths, and bogeys.

Today's episode tells the story of Bess of Hardwick, one of the richest women in English history! Be forewarned, there are a lot of child brides in this story (including Bess herself), enough that Tressa cringed even the second time around while editing the episode.

Happy birthday King Charles! Or maybe not…? Join Tressa and Taylor as we discuss the King Charles’ Birthday Tea Time with ESU event, including, but not limited to, discussing why this tea took place in August, if jam or cream should go on a scone first, and how we got carded at an afternoon tea. Also, please enjoy this unedited, slightly unhinged episode!

Join us for our final episode about The Secret Garden! Today we're comparing the second half of the book to the musical and 1993 film adaptation. (Not a surprising spoiler...the book is our favorite version of the story, except that ending. Justice for Mary!!)

“Stay there in the garden, where love grows free and wild. Come to my garden. Come, sweet child.” While these lyrics are technically from The Secret Garden Musical, they feel quite fitting as we once again discuss The Secret Garden; however, this time we’re taking it back to the thing that started it all - the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Join us as we compare the book, the musical, and the mo...

Into the garden we go...again! This time around, we're reviewing the 1993 movie adaptation of The Secret Garden. Tune in to hear us discuss the differences between the film and the musical, some strange casting decisions, and a super weird child-cousin romance.

This week on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor talk about The Secret Garden musical presented by The Barn Players. Join us as we briefly discuss the plot, talk about the real stars - the kids, and find Harry Potter references, because obviously. Come join us in the garden!

Join us as we take you through our visit to the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City to see their miniature portraits collection (and some bonus exhibits). This episode is a prime example of what happens when we try to record while being super sleep deprived, having a cat that high on catnip, and having obnoxious upstairs neighbors. Enjoy! 🤪

Today on We Are Not Amused, we are reviewing the "delightfully dotty" film Murder She Said (1961) based on the novel by Agatha Christie. Turns out the author was quite unamused with this adaptation of her story —t une in to see if we agreed with her or not!

The newest episode of We Are Not Amused is now live! Join Tressa and Taylor as they discuss Dame Margaret Rutherford, how she started her acting career, the relationship she had with a famous author, and the surprise true crime childhood she endured.

Today on We Are Not Amused, Tressa finally gets to take a break after her two-parter teaching us all about Aleister Crowley. Join Tressa as Taylor discusses Mary Timney and Henry “Harry” Burnett, the last woman publicly executed and the last man executed in Scotland, respectively. Listen along as Taylor talks about the trials, the crimes, and the crazy 100-year timeframe that connects these two.

If you thought our last episode had some wild moments, you just wait until you've heard this week's episode! Part 2 of Aleister Crowley's life is where it really gets crazy. Tune in for more traveling, love affairs, and sex magic, but also (unfortunately) some Nazis and child abuse. (Told you.) *Trigger warning: SA*

This week on We Are Not Amused, we present another multipart story! Join Taylor as Tressa talks about the beginning life of Aleister Crowley, the different mountains he climbed, his relationship with Rose Edith Kelly, and all the traveling this man did.

Tune in for our final episode on The Beatles doc Get Back where the band comes together despite their struggles to give their final iconic rooftop performance.

Part two of the “Get Back” documentary is now live! Join Tressa and Taylor as they discuss the move to Apple Studios, if Yoko is having an impact on The Beatles, and how the band is getting all the pieces into place for their ultimate goal - a live performance.

This week on We Are Not Amused, we're discussing the first part of the Get Back documentary series about The Beatles. Listen in as we marvel at the talent and ambition of the group and reminisce about our first Beatles series!

Happy 2024 everybody! We Are Not Amused is back with a new episode and boy is it a doozy! On this week's episode, Tressa and Taylor dive into “The Cursed Child” screenplay by Jack Thorne, John Tiffany, and J.K. Rowling. Join us as we list out the 2-4 characters we enjoyed, delve into the complexity of time travel, and debate if this story should even exist. Dry January is now over, so trust us...

It’s our last episode of 2023! We’re ending the year with something a little different. Today’s episode tests our knowledge of past podcast topics with a few special guests. Fair warning: alcohol was consumed during this recording (and you’ll be able to tell by our silliness 😂)
