All Things Magic, OG MTV and Unpopular Opinions

TOPIC: 

We’re back… with more treats from Thailand! This week we’re hanging out and catching up. We start by swapping weekend stories, including a trip to The Magic Castle, which lands us on the topic of all things magic! First off, where’s it been and why don’t we know more people in the magic industry? We explore different types and categories of magic, and Corinne shares an exciting magic experience featuring David Blaine and Dave Brown. 

Then, Corinne and Natalie reminisce on OG TV shows like Next — which could have been an inspiration for dating apps — and the extreme amount of money each Extreme Makeover costs. This spirals into an exploration of TV categories from the 2000s and now, and of course, that includes a recap of the drama from this season of Love is Blind.

OUR HOSTS: 

Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx

Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan

WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode, we’re playing Unpopular Opinion. Corinne thinks modern TV is hard to watch (unless you binge), and Natalie is offended that Citizen Kane is listed as the Best Movie of All Time, especially in comparison to the first color movie of all time, The Wizard of Oz.
