Episode 4 is here and we are NOT okay 🥲🌹

This week we’re talking about Episode 4 of Heated Rivalry, “Rose” – we dive deep into the episode, our expectations going in, how they were totally exceeded, the performances, the music, and all the ridiculous amounts of feelings.

Full transparency: we had some tech chaos again. Pami’s internet was doing Olympic-level buffering, so you might notice a little lag between us and the audio might be a bit off in places. We’re working on our editing skills – it’s already fixed for the next episode. 💙

Thank you so much for watching, listening, and supporting the pod – it means the world to us.

In Episode 2, we’re back to scream, overanalyze and feelings-dump about the second episode of Heated Rivalry, “Olympians.” We recap what happens, share our favourite moments, tiny details we can’t stop thinking about, and all our emotions about Shane & Ilya’s dynamic as the stakes get higher on and off the ice.

Full transparency: we had some tech chaos this time. Pami’s internet connection was struggling, so you might notice a little lag between us here and there. At one point the recording even stopped, so there’s a short section where it kind of sounds like Tessa is talking to herself, but we did our best to edit it so it still makes sense. Learning by doing, babes.

Thank you so much for watching, listening, and supporting the first episode – it means the world to us. 💙

Meet two sisters, one shared brain cell, and a very specific obsession. 💅📚🏒

In our first episode, we introduce ourselves, answer the question “who are we and why are we like this?” and explain how we fell headfirst into our current fixation: Heated Rivalry and the wider Rachel Reid GC universe. From “how did we get here?” to “how do we leave?” (we don’t), we trace our journey from casual interest to full-on spiral.

Then we dive into Episode 1 of the show in the most chaotic way possible: screaming about our favourite shots & scenes, outfits we loved, changes from the book that worked for us (and the ones we’re still side-eyeing), the portrayal of intimacy on screen and how it compares to the books, the cast absolutely eating in their roles. Plus some online takes we very much do not agree with

Also: this is our first time ever recording and editing a podcast. We’re learning by doing, we will get better, and you’re invited to grow along with us. If you’re obsessed, curious, or just love hearing people overanalyze their comfort media, you’re in the right place. 💙
