Let’s go back to the sixties! This time on Braless Watch we are going over The Munsters. We are discussing the first half of season 1, so episodes 1 through 19. We'll be discussing how the show's parody of traditional family values and other TV shows of the time created a platform for societal commentary as well as some light feminist commentary. We also chat about how a modern reboot could actually work in our current unsteady time. Lastly, there is so much trivia because this show references so many things from the 1960s and even further back so be ready to possibly learn!

Time to hail a Taxi! This week we are discussing Season 1 of Taxi, where we take a look at Elaine being the token female character that did not get the spotlight she deserved.

Join us on Braless Watch! Taxi!!
