Welcome to The Sick Girl Missives! It’s episode 10, and we would like to thank everyone for their patience, and sincerely hope no one has looked up any eels today. Key Discussion Points: the similarities and differences between Jillians and giant lizards; the many different ways one can say, "bad person;" the embarrassments of dying; and well-placed wizard murals. Music is a shortened version of the song "Ashes" by Jahzzar (accessed via the Free Music Archive). P.S. when we say that we'll be back with a new episode on June 27th, we mean July 4th.

Hey, look! It's Episode 7! In this episode (which is absolutely NOT sponsored by Prose Hair Care), the Jillians explore the idea of hoping in the absolute wrong direction. Key discussion points include: the importance of showering and washing dishes, even if one is a ghost; bonking one's hope over the head and leaving it in a dark forest; staying in the same spot forever and for good; and the very real and ever-present possibility of Getting Upset. Music by Hope for Agoldensummer (a slightly modified version of their song, "Strange Skies," which we accessed via the Free Music Archive).

During our visit with the boys over at Hanksy, we let them know their next watch was going to be a good one. Go give them a listen to see if we were right.

This week, the boys head back to college to reinvent themselves with 2011's Larry Crowne! Come along for the ride as Tom Hanks attends community college, woos a boozy Julia Roberts, and learns to scoot his way through life. Jokes include: What is and is not pornographic, scoot gang social dynamics, a weirdly old but recent time setting, and an incredible sequel pitch.

Music by Power und Beauty (accessed via the Free Music Archive).

Guys, we're on a show! A really funny show at that. Our friends over at Hanksy Panksy invited us to join them as they revisit the 90's hit, You've Got Mail. If you're into (slightly more adult) goofs, love Tom Hanks, or hate Tom Hanks - this is the show for you.

This week, the boys are joined by the two Jillians of The Sick Girl Missives podcast! Ride along as they revisit the classic rom-com You've Got Mail one more time. Jokes include: The wrong way to catfish someone, even more twisted family drama, how to find a p*e corner, and yet another movie conversion.

The Sick Girl Missives will be releasing a longer episode this week on a day that is not today, because Canadian Jillian promised her mom she would make a potato salad for Easter dinner, and she hasn't even bought potatoes yet. (Also, we'll be exploring some new ground in this episode, and we want to make sure that we do it justice. But it's mostly the potato thing. Like 92% of it is the potato thing).

29/03/2021

The Sick Girl Missives will have an all new episode out this Sunday. Until then, why not enjoy the finer things, like these balls we know?
