Nutty Bites: Trinkets – Dinner and a Movie – Dog Days of Podcasting 2019
If you know me, you know I love a good teen drama, and Trinkets is no exception. This show follows some shoplifting teens as they deal with loss and other pressures. It will give you a lot of feels but I really dug it. I cared a lot about these characters and I really hope there is a season 2.
Welcome to dog days of podcasting for 2019, where podcasters from around the world do a podcast a day for the month of august. I’m excited about this year’s crop of podcasters so I really suggest you listen to the main RSS feed.
Nutty Bites: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – Dinner and a Movie – Dog Days of Podcasting 2018
To All the Boys I’ve Loved is a Netflix teen movie that I really enjoyed. It’s fluff but I like fluff. Sometimes you just need a teen movie to kick back and veg to. I thought from the trailer the main character was adopted. That’s what got me watching only to find it was a mixed race family, also cool. I get excited by adopted families on TV because I have two adopted brothers. It’s something that seems pretty rare on TV, and when it is done, it is often bad.
Update! Wait a second, THIS is the movie I heard about where the author refused to sign off on any adaptation where the main character was played by a non asian! This was huge! I’m so happy that the movie I had read about was good! Many execs said that the race shouldn’t matter when casting and the author said if that is the case then cast an asian. The character is Korean-American, and while it is not the main topic of the movie, it is essential to the character. Wow! I’m so excited now. You can read more by an avid fan of the book.
I’m going to miss Dog Days of Podcasting. I love having all of these familiar voices in my ears. I count all of these podcasters as my friends and many of them go silent over the rest of the year. Till next August I suppose.

Nutty Bites: Turn & The Crown – Dinner and a Movie – Dog Days of Podcasting 2018
Tonight’s episode is a 2 for 1 bonus! Turn: Washington’s Spies and The Crown are two historical dramas that I have been watching. Turn is a full and complete series and The Crown is two seasons in. Both have great acting and actors that you may know from other series that you already love. Much like I have explained before, I love a good historical drama. It lets me research and see what they got right and what they changed for dramatic effect, or for other reasons. Sorry Betsy, far too little of Hercules Mulligan in Turn, but it’s still worth the watch.

Nutty Bites: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries – Dinner and a Movie – Dog Days of Podcasting 2018
Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is a charming show filled with charming characters. It’s one of those shows that makes me feel good when I watch it. Sure I could nit pick a lot of things but I’d rather focus on the joy it brings. This is like watching a dime novel with some modern sensibilities. Plus there are a lot of cool historical references that has me researching. You all know I love a good tie into history. I also got to learn a bit more about Australian history. Also, I can do a mean Miss Fisher casual cosplay.

Nutty Bites: Rebellion – Dinner and a Movie – Dog Days of Podcasting 2018
Rebellion I thought was a Netflix series but now I see is a Sundance TV show. This may have been simultaneously released on Netflix Canada at the same time, so there was a partnership. I could be wrong though, don’t quote me on it. This miniseries was enjoyable, but note that there are a lot of differences from what actually happened and what they used to tell a dramatic tale. I highly encourage you to look up the actual history or listen to the Stuff You Missed in History Class episode(s) about the Easter Rising.
