  Hello, and this is your PCJ pop.
• 0:09
  I'm Shauna, and I'm Olivia.
• 0:12
  Olivia, what do you recommend this week?
• 0:15
  So I am going to recommend a show that came out a couple of months ago.
• 0:20
  It is called The Girlfriend, and it has the sexiest of all time, Olivia Cook.
• 0:28
  I'm so gorgeous.
• 0:30
  The hottest Olivia, and I say that as an Olivia.
• 0:33
  You're still my fave.
• 0:35
  Thank you.
• 0:36
  Notice how she didn't say the hottest.
• 0:38
  Oh, no.
• 0:39
  So hot.
• 0:40
  Okay, got it.
• 0:41
  Got it.
• 0:42
  Got it.
• 0:43
  Okay.
• 0:44
  But it has Olivia Cooke in it.
• 0:46
  Robin Wright and Laurie Davidson.
• 0:49
  I love Robin Wright.
• 0:51
  Oh, yeah.
• 0:52
  She directs it as well, so it is really, really good.
• 0:55
  And it's quite an interesting show.
• 0:58
  It talks about how memory is so subjective, right?
• 1:02
  So the whole show goes through Robin Wright, the mother and Olivia Cook, the girlfriend,
• 1:08
  and how they're navigating this incredibly toxic, like, mother, new girlfriend situation,
• 1:16
  and how they have completely different memories of how these things are going on.
• 1:21
  And it's like, the situation continues to escalate.
• 1:25
  And go through.
• 1:27
  And I watched it all in like a 24 hour span.
• 1:31
  It was very, very good, very spicy.
• 1:34
  Again, I'm obsessed with Olivia Cook.
• 1:36
  She looks amazing, but there is quite some good drama and tension within it.
• 1:42
  And you can find it on Amazon.
• 1:45
  That sounds delightful.
• 1:46
  I'm going to have to give that a whirl, especially.
• 1:50
  Am I bad for not being able to picture Olivia Cook looks like right now at the top of my
• 1:53
  head?
• 1:54
  And then, I'm going to have a high tower from House of Dragon.
• 1:56
  Oh my God, you're right.
• 1:57
  She's gorgeous.
• 1:58
  Yeah, I know.
• 1:59
  You guys have a look at me.
• 2:00
  Thank you.
• 2:01
  I will take that as such a compliment.
• 2:05
  The show that I am going to pop is a yearly favorite for my husband and I.
• 2:11
  It's a hug in a television.
• 2:13
  I am, of course, talking about the Great British Baking Show, also known as the Great British
• 2:19
  Bake Off.
• 2:21
  Do you watch Bake Off, Olivia?
• 2:23
  I've literally never seen it in episode.
• 2:25
  Oh my God.
• 2:26
  I love this show so much.
• 2:29
  It started in 2010 on BBC and now it is spun so many Bake Offs and just kind of reinvigorated
• 2:37
  a love of baking.
• 2:39
  What I like about it is unlike other cooking competitions or baking shows, everything feels
• 2:45
  very friendly.
• 2:48
  Everyone helps each other.
• 2:50
  Everyone's British.
• 2:51
  So, nice analysis doesn't hurt.
• 2:54
  And they cook in this giant tint in like a field and there's just b-roll of like bunnies
• 2:59
  and squirrels and they're like, "On today's challenge, the Bakers are making some cakes."
• 3:06
  And then Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith come in and judge everything and there's no cash
• 3:12
  prize.
• 3:13
  If you win Bake Off, you get a glass cake stand and that is it.
• 3:20
  You get the glory.
• 3:21
  Yes.
• 3:22
  And so they help each other every week.
• 3:25
  If somebody doesn't finish theirs, the other people will run over and help them finish.
• 3:30
  And it's just like, they're so funny.
• 3:32
  Everyone's so witty and it doesn't feel scripted at all.
• 3:36
  And I love Noel Fieldling.
• 3:38
  He is one of the hosts.
• 3:40
  They've had a couple different hosts of it.
• 3:43
  Superkins, Sandy, Tobskiv.
• 3:46
  I probably butchered that name.
• 3:48
  Not Lucas who is hilarious and Alison Hammond.
• 3:51
  But yeah, it's just every fall we get really excited for Bake Off season because it just feels
• 3:56
  like a little dose of serotonin.
• 3:59
  It kind of just calms your nervous system down a little bit, you know?
• 4:04
  Low stakes friendship television.
• 4:06
  We need more of that.
• 4:07
  I like that as your calming television show much more than my 600 bell lights.
• 4:15
  I do still watch that too sometimes, but I've seen like every episode at this point.
• 4:21
  Okay.
• 4:22
  So I can't just keep rewatching it.
• 4:26
  Catch that on the pop whenever a new season comes out.
• 4:29
  Yeah, I mean, but you know what?
• 4:31
  Screw it.
• 4:32
  600 pound live.
• 4:34
  But this week we are going to go ahead and pop the Great British Baking Show, which you
• 4:38
  can watch every year on Netflix.
• 4:41
  And also the girlfriend, which you can watch on Amazon Prime.
• 4:46
  And that is it for your PCJ Pop.
