14.26 Love, Turkish Style

Love is in the air… or at least on our screens! (But really?) This week, we take a deep dive into the world of Turkish dramas, where romance meets melodrama in the most extravagant way possible. But before we get there, we’re serving up our usual mix of news, recommendations, and pop culture chatter. (See not just a few of our recommendations below.)

From Sundance film discoveries to Beyoncé making Grammy history, there’s plenty to discuss. And, of course, we had to dissect Lovers Anonymous—and why it didn’t quite steal our hearts.

Plus, we close out with a recap of Severance Season 2, Episode 3, and a sneak peek at next week’s episode. (Not the next episode of Severance. The next episode of Geek Girl Soup!)

Here are just a few of our recommendations for this week. (I wrote them down so you don’t have to. You’ve got a cat on your lap right now, don’t you?!)

FROM SUNDANCE (Since these were just at Sundance, you probably won’t see them for a while. So, be on the lookout!)

• Andre is an Idiot

• Prime Minister

• How to Build a Library

• Seeds

• Atropia

• Didn’t Die

OTHERS

• Ladies and Gentlemen: 50 Years of SNL Music

• Companion

• Paradise (We cannot recommend this Hulu enough. Do NOT read anything about it. Just watch. Please.)

TURKISH DRAMAS

• Yakamoz S-245 (“Spin-off”/companion to the fabulous Into the Night, both on Netflix)

• Cesur ve Guzel

• In Good Hands (parts 1 and 2) on Netflix
