Fugs & Pieces, October 25, 2024


I cannot believe the election is a week from Tuesday. In the words of the great Cristina Yang: Somebody sedate me.

This week, over at Drinks With Broads: We weigh in on Rivals! Plus, there’s some juicy drama percolating at The Gilded Age  — maybe? And we take on all that Wicked merch. In Tuesday’s edition, I ask you to choose my next vintage cookbook purchase, we dig into the Meryl and Martin of it all, and Heather reviews Woman of the Hour.  Finally, today brought a fresh Only Murders recap! ONLY ONE LEFT. Thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed — especially the folks who have joined our paid tier. You’re keeping us alive!!
