629: Rolling Stone Rage Bait and Upcoming Movies and TV

In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills for 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) during the most chaotically cozy month of the year. Join us as we reveal the TV shows worth binging under a blanket and the books that are begging for a fireside read.  Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/631Get Knox’s list of 13 atmospheric vibes perfect for Halloween at knoxandjamie.com/13books November Vibe Check: Scorpio Season | What’s the latest on Daylight Savings? | Top Tier Food Holiday | Elections Refresh: Smooch= give a shot, Marry = commit time to, Kill = do not murder!
