566: Frenemies in Pop Culture

In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills of November. We discuss what you should give a shot (smooch), what you should commit to (marry), and what you should just pass on by (kill) as we cozy up to (arguably) the best month of the year. Join us as we share some of our favorite new TV shows to binge while hibernating, which books to cuddle up with as the weather cools, and which movies are worth putting on pants for.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/580Head to knoxandjamie.com/giftguide to get the 2024 Popcast Emotional Support Gift Guide delivered to your inbox.Refresh: Smooch= give a shot, Marry = commit time to, Kill= do not murder!
