Courage & Doll

Happy Birthday Mr. President of C&D Headquarters! It's our third year (fourth season) of doing this silly little podcast, and what better way to celebrate than to watch the FINAL ~film~ of the Twilight Saga. We're not breaking tradition, but we are "Breaking Dawn" for the sound time with inexcusable relationships, CGI babies, and compromised values. Where are the Converse, Bella? If you've been here since the beginning, thank you so much for sticking around each and every week. If you're new, welcome to the first of many hey there, hi there, and ho theres. It may be the last time we traipse through Forks, but it is NOT our last BYEEEEEEEE.  Ones First & Ones Last. Which "Twilight" movie do you belong in?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/3nE6ghv  Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll   IG: Coming Soon!

Hey baby what's your sign? Just kidding. We don't wanna know. We're here to talk about ours.  This week we took a look at our Big 6™️ Personal Placements: Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Do they resonate? Are we compatible? This is basically just an opportunity to be narcissistic and analyze our personalities. Tayla doesn't feel sweet and Katie downloads CoStar for the first time. Bless. Stick around for opposite feelings toward relationships, communication styles, and a tiny sneak peek of a C&D confrontation.     Just a couple of goddesses doing goddess things.

This week we two-stepped it over to Apple TV+. Did you know if you drop over a grand on a new laptop, you get ONE year free?!? What a bargain.

Hello from Hollywood! Your favorite celebrity power couple is back to show you how this acting thing is done. We may not have Oscars, but boy do we know how to read. Well . . . sometimes. This week we decided to channel our inner actors and deliver the performance of a lifetime. Five scripts and five scenes were recreated just for you. The credit for this podcast idea goes entirely to @persimmmonsongs on TikTok. Get ready for some action as Katie reprises her role in Spiderman: Far From Home and Tayla connects with second-round puberty werewolves. We love to see it.  Not necessarily a quiz, but a fight to keep 2007 Hairspray in this universe.  Which celebrities will you keep around?

We watched Ginny & Georgia in an impossibly short amount of time.  Did you know that Georgia is a murderous mother and not Ginny's fun-loving high school friend? No? You're not alone. We did too. In our process of flying through ten on-hour long episodes, we were transported back to the best, worst, and ugliest times. There were Big Little Lies parallels, fake friend flashbacks, and (of course) academic second-hand embarrassment. Please don't tap-dance to win affection.  We've got to keep the description short this time around. We've got kids to get to tutoring.  What type of mom are you?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/3duzbQs Also Mentioned:  Emily's TikTok: https://bit.ly/3sO9ctG  Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll   Check out our website: https://couragedollpodcast.wixsite.com/nowplaying

We obviously LOVE our Women in STEM, but what about our WWWs? Our Women Who Write. Welcome to the first Seamless and Themeless of the season, and the first podcast to be recorded on a Monday. The recording schedule is changing, but no worries, the upload date is not. So sorry for being gone for a week, but we're back in business now.   Settle down and stick around for characters as vaccines, Grammy gossip, and hot girl bedroom furniture.  Women Who Write?

We're not quite giving you March Madness this year, but Madness is one of the 36 Dramatic Situations, so it's basically the same thing, right? We were inspired by TikTok Creator Z00mie to sort our reviews into the 36 categories. Do they all fit? MMMM Kinda. Reel yourself in and listen as we  work our way through nearly 60 reviews.

 Hey There, Hi There, Ho There! Hey There, Hi There, Ho There! Hey There, Hi There, Ho There! ***Sorry! It's the temporal anomaly.  Maybe it's the desperate desire to get another season of "The Society," or maybe we just have a desperate desire to reunite with our favorite father of a moody teenage son. We don't know. This week, we pulled out the compass and navigated our way to Amazon Prime to watch "The Tiny Map of Perfect Things." Is it a combination of "Groundhog Day" and "All the Bright Places?" MMMMM . . . Kinda. Stay put (in your tiny town filled with perfect things) for parental presumptions, lip-locking solutions, and neighborhood ambience.  We all were somebody once . . . Was that profound? No.  Who were you in a past life?

Four Little Letters = Personality? Welcome back to the fourth installment of our Writers' Room series. This time, we're putting plot on the back burner to give our characters that little-something-special that makes them unique: a personality. Katie took the lead this week by creating a four-category chart (color-coded and all) that includes all 16 Myers-Briggs personality types. We assigned our main characters with their MBTI types based on the brief descriptions provided by: https://www.16personalities.com. To stick with our tradition of using random generators, we conjured up a few questions to dive deep into the minds of our little Ched Heads. Sit back and listen while a couple of INFJs refuse to give up their spot on the rarity throne.  What's your archetype?

Stanford, UC Berkley, NYU We’ve got another case of chasing-my-SO to college. Lovey Covey can’t decide if she’ll pave her own path in New York or learn the art of the long-distance commute. We’re back to watch the FINAL movie of the "To All the Boy" trilogy. It’s the end of another C&D Classic, so we had to do something special. Hence, B-I-N-G-O. Who will win? Mark your cards, and stick around for bountiful baked goods, boring montages, and boys being absent. We ARE the leading ladies, but you're welcome to follow in our footsteps.  Which rom-com leading lady are you?

Never have I ever listened to anyone play charades before.  Put a finger down. Yes. Put a finger down.  We’re working on the honor system here because you certainly have now.  For our second episode of the season, we explored Backyard.co for a SECOND time. You’ve guessed it. This week’s episode is, in fact, a redo. Our first time around was total trial and error, but we’ve got everything sorted just in time to celebrate Valentine’s Day (socially-distanced, of course). Settle down for some juicy podcast questions, a round of Word Play, and bootleg Cards Against Humanity. Happy Valentines Day!  Love, Touch-Starved & Clingy What’s your love language?

Let's just say, Naomi isn't the only liar out there.  We're finally back from our extended winter hiatus. We never intended to be gone for so long, but alas life happens. No worries though. It's a new year and a new season. You can kiss your Courage & Doll-less subscription feed goodbye. In this week's episode, we discussed Victoria Justice's contribution to the Tumblr teen film genre. There's black skinny jeans, graphic tees, and red lipstick. We watched Naomi & Ely's No Kiss List, a misleading title for a film starring more-than-friendly friends. Seal those lips, listen up, and stick around for nursery design, comic book sexuality comparisons, and Valentine's date ideas.   We're both a couple of sweeties, and we know you are too.  Let your rom-com decisions reveal what Valentine's candy you are.  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/2LwKjCk Follow Us: https://twitter.com/courageanddoll    Check out our website: https://couragedollpodcast.wixsite.com/nowplaying

As 2020 comes to a close, it's time for us to recap a bit of our time on and off the pod. Yes, it's our last episode . . . OF THE SEASON. No worries! We'll be back in your subscription feed in January. Before we break to recoup and regroup, we wanted to extend an invitation to the annual C&D Enterprises holiday party / gift exchange. Stick around for sentimental Canva creations, celebrities as inanimate objects, and a Vampire Diaries / Gossip Girl update.  Have a happy holidays, and we'll see you for season 4. The Buzzfeed Quiz tab is truly the gift that keeps on giving. (s/o to Katie for lending family members and four-legged friends).

Forget all about the early-quarantine Coachella controversy.  The queen (or should we say princess?) of the Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe is back to feed us again for the third year in a row. This week, Vanessa Hudgens is physically hauling us into the holiday season by reprising her roles of Chicago Stacy and Montanaro Margaret in "The Princess Switch: Switched Again." Not only do we get to check in on our favorite Parent Trap wannabes, but we get the introduction of a new lookalike: Fiona. Falalala into an hour of breathy Margaret Thatcher impersonations, coronation quarrels, and a quick rundown of Taylor Swift's "Evermore."  Happy Holidays! We needed some serious help getting into the festive frame of mind. Naturally, we headed straight to Buzzfeed.  Which classic Christmas movie character are you?

We're holding up our end of the deal with a third installment of our Writers' Room series.  By now, you should be familiar with our characters and the timeline of season one. This week, our mains are taking the backseat so the supporting characters can have their time to shine. No neglected Vermonters on our watch! We've randomly generated a collection of conflicts with three-word scene descriptors to kick off our brainstorming session. Stick around for blackmail, bullets, and bighearted thieves.  Everyone's got a story, but this one isn't ours. Are you the main character?

We want to like him so bad . . . but we don't . . . know him? If you've been following the pod for a while, you might know that we have some pretty unpopular opinions of Shawn Mendes. NEVER HATE. Just . . . strong criticism. We really want to see him step out of the box he's in and take more risks. This brings us to this week's episode. The second we heard Shawn was getting his own Netflix music documentary, we added it to the monthly line up in hopes that seeing him unfiltered and behind the scenes would give us a better perspective on who this Canadian crooner really is. We're not so sure this documentary delivered. There are tons of instrumental B-roll scenes and motivational Mendes moments, but little substance. Nothing a few interviews couldn't have fixed. Stay tuned for  commentary on directionless directing, female artist expectations, and the glorification of normalcy. Just a couple of normies testing our knowledge on Mr. Mendes. How'd we do? Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/3

The time has come again.   This week on the pod, we're honoring our three-year tradition of releasing a prompt-filled Thanksgiving-themed episode. We're kicking off the holiday season with a second installment of our Thanksgiving Jam Sesh series and a fresh, new playlist for the inevitable turkey trauma that is likely to ensue. We scrounged up the most delicious (and a few undercooked) tunes that we wanted to share with you. The past two trips around the dining table have been centered around the classic American Thanksgiving dishes, but this time we decided to shake things up. We've got fourteen festive prompts, sentimental song dedications, and not-so-underground groups for you to feast your ears upon. It's truly an episode we look forward to each year, and we hope you'll enjoy it too.   There's always some weirdos out there.  Which peculiar family member are you?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: https://bzfd.it/3nKD1IA  Playlist Links:  Apple Music: https:/

"She doesn't want LensCrafters when she has Hot Topic." We really thought the viewing experience for this movie would be different, but alas, pandemic safety concerns made us  reconsider reuniting for an Anna Todd adaptation-filled afternoon. No private theater viewings for us. Just two $6.99 (plus that gorgeous Tennessee sales tax) digital rentals. This week we had the absolute self-indulgent pleasure of watching the highly-anticipated sequel to the Wattpad delicacy that is "After." That's right, Tessa and Hardin are back in "After We Collided." Ohhhh the toxicity. Who needs to talk about your relationship (Can we call it that?) issues when you have hot yoga, steamy shower sex, and impromptu babysitting calls? Don't clock out . . . we've got unrealistic internship benefits, a blip in continuity,  and a petition to delete the word "conquest" in all future fanfic adaptations. What in the Wattpad?  What album should you listen to based on the fanfic that you write?  Take the quiz, and tweet us your results: htt

I guess we can take the heat because this week we are definitely in the kitchen.  We cooked up some love with a new addition to our Mandy Moore series, and things we're . . . interesting? There's late night bites, carbless keto recipes, and the trendiest foods of all time. Stick around because things get pre(tty)-heated with a debate on the restaurant status of Waffle House, hypothetical merch cancellations, and positive presidential news. Fine Dining and Wheezing.

“The Vine Star has to go first." Happy Hallovember? We knew this week’s podcast would be uploaded on the first of November, but it was recorded on Halloween. In the a.m. no less. What a concept. In this week's edition of C&D midday, we had to get our final spooky ooky fix of the season with Netflix's The Babysitter. In this campy horror flick, little  Cole "Colonoscopy" Johnson, at his undisclosed age, needs a his babysitter Bee to help navigate the world of older bullies, next-door love interests, and, of course, human sacrifice? Just typical parents-are-outta-town scenarios. Thankfully, our screens were graced with several familiar faces: former Disney dancing queen Bella Thorne, ex-Viner King Bach, and an always shirtless Robbie Amell. No need to request for backup. We've got you  covered with the blue print for Dakota Johnson's green cabinets, a pre-murderous pep talk, an intergalactic betrayal. It's all about the spirit.  What's your Halloween aesthetic?
