The Bridgerton Bros

How do we pronounce Franchaela?! We're gonna have to learn, because we've got the direction for Season 5, and it's gonna be Franchesca's kind of third go-round, to some degree here, and three is hopeful to be the charm here. Now, does this show basically spoil the end of every series before it starts at this point? It does, but whatever, we're having fun. We also dive into the big change from the books for this one We're also THRILLED to report that Bridgerton has taken the drastic measure of continuing to work, and are already in production so hopefully we'll see this season before Jon's kids are in college. Very happy to drop back in for a little hello with our favorite Bridgerbaddies! Drop us a rating and a review if you're enjoying yourself, and if you want to join us year round (we just did Heated Rivalry), we're over at Patreon.com/KevinandJon!

Sometimes, the most impossible problems can be solved in the simplest ways: by bullying the queen. Sophie's behind bars, and the only way to free her is by assembling the greatest mother/son legal team in history. Remember her father's will? Would it blow your mind to hear that the most evil person in the world maybe wasn't totally honest about what it said? Eloise and Cressida get real with each other, Danbury tries to do one more big favor for her ol' friend Bridgermom, and the newest lady in waiting waits no longer before making her biggest play yet. And there's a twist that involves Whistledown…or should we say, "a" Whistledown. Tons of drama, but with a yard full of zebras and a love of gossip, we manage to make it through. You'll never look at a murky tub the same after this one! Rate and review us, Bridgerbaddies! And join us year round for exclusive podcasts every week on patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Do you like sad? Well then you're gonna LOVE this episode of Bridgerton! We've got Francesca's Emmy nomination episode out of this, at least, but we begin with her grieving while putting together a funeral and being told by everyone in her life that she's doing it wrong, but at least our sibs are there for some good brief distractions about biscuits. Benny is having a meltdown trying to help Francesca, experiencing a breakup, and getting harassed by his mom until he magically says the word "love" and Bridgermom has an epiphany she somehow has never once considered before. Araminta simply will NOT let Sophie just escape from their lives no matter how hard she tries. But most importantly, Posy goes flying out a friggin' window. Rate and review us, Bridgerbaddies, we've got one more to go! And join us year round for exclusive podcasts every week on patreon.com/kevinandjon!

This episode sent Kevin and Jon into a soul search that has us making our most controversial alliance since our Berger Boys days, and that is: we're Cressida Guys. The episode begins with a post-coital wakeup for Ben & Soph, but besides "how YOU doin?" they haven't answered many questions. Anthony comes back – all the way back to season 1 form to push around the guy who's been doing his job while he's on vacay – and Penelope makes a big request from the queen. This ep also has a proposal and a character's exit, so when you put it like that…we guess it was weirdly big? If you wouldn't mind, we'd love it if you'd drop us a rate and review, and we'd EXTRA love it if you'd join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon for video of every episode, early drops, and well over 100 other exclusive podcast episodes and year round sillies from your boys!

We're back from the Bridgerton halftime break, and Misstressgate 1817 still rages on! Not just for Sophie, who has been ghosting all of Benny's letters, but for Hiscox's mistress Virginia who is unfortunately thrown under the bus by some of the vaguest writing in Whistledown history. Francesca struggles with her new houseguest Michaela, whose behavior – buddy – we have some feelings about! Hyacinth is pumped for her recital, even if the boys behavior will make her drop an iconic "Lemonade" album centuries before Beyoncé, and Bridgermom struggles with how to introduce her new friend with bennies to HER Benny and the gang. Spoiler…someone does go downtown for the ladies in this one! Rate and review us, cheese fiends! And join us year round for exclusive pods at patreon.com/kevinandjon

As we wait for our Bridgerbuddies to come again... Folks, we've never gotten more direct requests to do anything than we did to go deep on the big gay hockey show, and your wishes are now our command. Let's talk Shane & Ilya's forbidden romance, hidden weiners, and butts that will make you put on your best glasses to check out. Partying Russian style, BJ ethics, and a bizarrely long-stretching timeline, let's drop the puck AND the pants and get after it! We're dropping episode one on both our main podcast feeds, and every single episode over on Patreon.com/kevinandjon.

It's halftime, folks! And it's time to talk about Bad Benny (who we still love), look back on part 1 and some things we missed with the help of some viewer mail and a couple weeks of hindsight, and analyze the new trailer that just dropped for part 2. Band aids on ears, historical context for the "mistress" pitch, Sophie's dang left behind bagand yes, we DO know that's Cho Chang! And…stay tuned after the credits if you'd like to hear Jon's son Sullivan give his first podcast review. Please rate and review your boys if you haven't, and if ya want the real year-round weekly Kev and Jon experience, join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Sophie's got a job, and no one — excepf for us and most of you — could have predicted where it would be. There's a baked-in conflict to working for your crush and we explore that until our heroes explore a lot more. Francesca and Johnny get real about how to Pinnacle which is interesting, and then there's a surprise cameo at the end. Mama Bridge is making moves for #nighttea which we love, and there's a Lady In Waiting bit of business that still does absolutely nothing for us. There's the world's lowest stakes, most boring drama about who's moving in next door that only ever had one result, and a lot of mistress talk. Folks…it's episode 4, and we really want to cleanse the palette with the next one. Join us year round at patreon.com/kevinandjon for ALL the movies and TV we watch, and if you would be so kind, drop us a rating and a review on your podcast listening app of choice, or even Reddit if you're extra cool!

This episode brings us to My Cottage. Whose cottage, you say? My Cottage. Don't know how we could be any clearer! It's a Shangri La of sorts, where Sophie helps nurse ailing hero Benny back to health, and struggles with leisure, and also the truly boyish charm of Benny, under the mild supervision of the Crabtrees (just picture Angela Lansbury in Beauty and the Beast). Francesca also goes on an episode-long search for the Pinnacle (relatable), while the Maid War attempts to win back some power for the working class at the expense of people like the suddenly evil-again Featherbottoms, and Bridgermom inches ever closer toward Lord Anderson's throbbing sofa. Oh, also the Queen and Danbury are together but sort of bickering again, as per usual. If you could spare your Kevin and Jon's a quick rate and a review, we would be so charmed, ourselves! And if you wanna get all the eps early, and also get Discord access and over 100 exclusive other podcast episodes, join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

We're flashin' back, fordward, and flashin' a little glove all over the place in this one. We get the backstory of how Sophie's night out came about, and pleasingly, that little mystery moves pretty quickly. And speaking of moving pretty quickly, Sophie has some packing to do. We also find out about how her living situation came to be, and who her dad was (spoiler: a big ol' weiner). Bennie is on the lookout for his mysterious deep water-lovin' lady and kinda/sorta finds her, or at least picks up some hints. Posy is an absolute delight, Bridgermom is up to her old nosy tricks, and the Queen goes full B on Danbury over a game of chess we hope to never see again. Rate and review us, bridgerbaddies! And as always, join us year round and for early releases on patreon.com/kevinandjon.

After this episode, we are free of the gaslighting hostage-taking of TUDUM, and into the pure fun of sexy fun Bridgerton episodes. Bridgermom is throwing the debut ball of the season for the very first time, picking up the torch from a (possibly retiring???) Lady Danbury. The Queen now has direct access to Pen/Whistledown and is struggling to find a main character for her dating season, but — here's a friggin' shock — what about…a Bridgerton? Bridgermom is struggling with Benny's wild lifestyle and refusal to grow up, but after some dude smoochin' he finds his way to the ball, and to possibly the most intriguing woman he's ever met: a silver ingenue who we think is GREAT! This season appears to ask a question that's been on all of our minds: what if Cinderella…f**ked? And it seems like, God-willing, we might just find out. And welcome back our theme music from @hadgetunes! If you'd like to be the diamonds of OUR seasons, please leave us a rating and a review! And for videos and over 100 other exclusive TV and movie podcasts, join us year-round at patreon.com/kevinandjon.

The Bridgerton Bros are officially back, to take the deepest possible dive into the season 4 trailer! It's a trailer that has been viewed over 11 million times already, probably due to a lot of salacious replays to catch that sweet Benny Bod, and a possible Francesca roll in the proverbial hay. The first four eps will drop January 29 and we'll be binging along with you again, but we thought this teaser was a good reason to jump back on this long-dormant Bridgerton Bros feed. Happy new year and happy new season, Bridgerbuddies! Find us ALL the time over at patreon.com/kevinandjon where we have over 100 exclusive movie and other TV podcasts for your year-round enjoyment.

The very first film we covered when we expanded beyond our Sex and the Cidiots podcast was one of Rob Reiner's perfect films: "When Harry Met Sally." With Rob and his wife's tragic passing, we've been sad, and his incredible career — In addition to his tremendous reputation as an actual human being — has been on our minds. So, for anyone who feels like just living in this classic film for a bit with two guys being silly talking about it way back in December of *2020,* we thought it might be nice to put it back out. We love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out, we love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, and we love that we get you all to share movie and TV talk with when we're trying to force ourselves to just be a little bit happier than we are. Thanks for listening. For more exclusive movie podcasts and TV shows (and even more, actually), join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon

You simply can't have too much Jennifer Coolidge, and Austenland (2013, available on Amazon & Apple) just let the woman who couldn't memorize lines go the F off in this pretend-Regency Era movie, where Keri Russell goes to a Jane Austen immersive resort/amusement park, falls in fake and real love, and we do a modern "Pride & Prejudice" retelling. We also get one of the "Flight of the Conchords" guys, Jane Seymour, the director of "Napoleon Dynamite," and a fake horse that is probably a donkey. This one goes up on Patreon first, and because it's so thematically appropriate, on Bridgerton Bros a week later. Join us over at patreon.com/kevinandjon for ALL our fun. Thanks to Soulmate & Patreon Pal extraordinaire Courtney McPhail for the request, and to all you dukes & debutantes for the support!

Surprise! Because we had a Patreon movie that fits the timeframe of our Bridgerton world, we've decided to drop a bonus one on the main feed. This is a Victorian era mystery starring Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, Sherlock's younger sister. It's a star-studded Netflix film from 2020 that also features Henry Cavill as older bro Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter as the (disappearing) matriarch of the Holmes family. Sam Claflin plays the eldest bro of the family, Mycroft Holmes, who sucks a big fat one. It's a fun flick directed by a man who also brought is "Fleabag," and you can feel it from the absolutely shattered 4th wall. And if you wanna stay for some off the topic Jon & Kev chat, just keep listening after the end song. Thanks to Emily Thomas for the request, and thanks to all the Patreon pals for your support, and you can join the fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Well well well, if it isn't our favorite BridgerBro getting his own season! That's right, Benedict, Benny Bridge, Mr. High & Bi says hi to his own story and bye to the single life (maybe???). Luke Thompson will be taking center stage, and we're popping back on the main feed to tell you everything we know about the season, to opine a little bit, and even talk about a little writeup we got from Shondaland.com. We've missed youuuuuuu! Theme song as always from the great Mike Hadge (@hadgetunes)! Follow us on Instagram @thebridgertonbros and join us at patreon.com/KevinandJon, and hit us with a rate & review if you would be so kind!

Cressida goes for blackmail, we see the world's longest three-way, Colin mansplains a problem into a bigger problem, a lovely wedding is capped with a kiss that causes more questions than answers, a Queen has a showdown with Whistledown and...a ball full of "bugs." It's a long ep, but it's 2 hours to last us 2 years. Thanks to all our new friends who have found us this season, and at least an equal thanks to those who have been riding with these silly bros for years. Hope to keep partying with you, to Glasgow and back.

Colin hosts the world's saddest stag party, Pen gets some homespun wisdom at the modiste, Lady Danbury squashes her 10 year old beef (that is to say, her beef with a 10-year old), and Benny decides to fit two hot dogs in one bun. Oh yea, and there's a wedding. Follow us on Instagram @thebridgertonbros and join us at patreon.com/KevinandJon!

The town is abuzz about Cressida, apparently the barely literate, dumbest person anyone's ever heard of, forming complete sentences as Lady Whistledown, but many have their doubts. Pen struggles with giving up her work for this "dream" life, Benny ends up on a surprising dinner for three, Francesca and Sterling announce a marriage to middling enthusiasm, and you're not gonna believe this, but…there's a BALL. And one big reveal (at least to ONE character) at the end. Follow us on Instagram @thebridgertonbros and join us at patreon.com/KevinandJon!

Penelope is up against the clock (as well as the...well, you know). Colin gives FeatherMom the finger (metaphorically). John Sterling's reputation is mud, and Cressida's potential fiance has a few too many years left for her liking. Good s*x on a fainting couch, an actual faint, and a game of charades where they keep saying "hole" -- the second half of this season really DOES go there. If you wouldn't mind, a rate and review would be just lovely. And if you wanna join the chat over at Discord and get over 100 bonus Kevin and Jon podcasts on movies and other TV shows, join us at Patreon.com/KevinandJon! And follow us on Instagram at @thebridgertonbros!

After hard core binging the first four episodes of Bridgerton Season 3, we've taken a deep breath, steam cleaned the carriage, and are preparing for part 2. Kevin and Jon analyze the teaser trailer for part 2 of the Polin story, and set the table for another binge-a-thon next week. Thanks for listening, rate and review if ya get a chance, and if you wanna join the chat over at Discord and get over 100 bonus Kevin and Jon podcasts on movies and other TV shows, join us at Patreon.com/KevinandJon!

Oh, I didn't see you there, gentle listener. Today's happenings include Lord Debling contemplating Pen's settee (if you will), Francesca stanning a silent king, Colin delving into uncharted territory. And with that -- it's the season 3 intermission! Until the 2nd half, why don't we all kill some time Rating, reviewing, and joining us at patreon.com/kevinandjon?

Good morrow, gentle listeners! In this edition of BridgerBros the Queen's love match goes over like a lead balloon, Colin gets soggy thinking about Pen, BridgerMom goes from no glove to some love, the boxer finds out that working just isn't gonna work, and Francesca enjoys a moment of silence (with a dude?!). Rate, review, and join us at patreon.com/kevinandjon...if you DARE

Francesca tickles the ivories as well as the Queen's fancy. Eloise has trouble keeping her big yapper shut. The boxer and his wife learn the ropes of high society. Colin teaches Pen how to fan the flames of passion. If you would be so kind, please rate and review us, you Dukes and Duchesses! And join us for weekly podcasts year-round, zoom hangs, and Discord chat at Patreon.com/kevinandjon!

Welcome back, gentle listener! Lady Fingerbottom has taken up the quill once again to tickle the fannies of the ton. Francesca has her coming out party but Queen Charlotte can't pick a diamond. Anthony and Kate decide they have more important things to do than vicounting (it's boning). Colin takes a break from picking up gloves long enough to become Pen's personal rizz tutor. Rate and review us if you haven't, and join the full-time fun at Patreon.com/KevinAndJon!

The Bridgerton season 3 trailer  has dropped, and there's minimum two, maybe three new characters revealed already, and one of them wasn't even in the friggin' books: Lord Debling (Sam Phillips) a Netflix creation all for Penelope's enjoyment. He throws a wrench in the Pen/Colin plan, and we're (sort of) reserving judgment for now. Hit us with your thoughts, feelings, predictions, and if you would be so kind, a rating and a review, even! We can't wait to be back for Bridgerton Season 3! Until then, we keep it going over on Patreon.com/kevinandjon. Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter

Bridgerton wished us all a very happy Valentine's Day with a couple new teaser clips, and we're here to play them in full for ya, comment on them, and tell you everything we know so far, like the episode dropdates: four episodes on May 16th, and four episodes on June 13th. We also talk sh*t to David Zaslav when we meant Ted Sarandos but the points still stand, and you won't BELIEVE the trivia Jon drops at the end. About one minute of new video, and 30 minutes of your Bridgerton Bros — sounds about right. We can't wait to be back for Bridgerton Season 3! Until then, we keep it going over on Patreon.com/kevinandjon. Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter.

Happy Valentine's Day, lovers! We decided to do a classic romcom that *one* of us had never seen, and drop it as a romantic, holiday bonus. So here we are, with a movie that doesn't work on paper, but big time works on the screen: a star-making turn by Julia Roberts who has "it" more than just about anyone has ever had, Richard Gere somehow making us like a 41 year old billionaire, Hector Elizondo being an all-time hotel daddy, Jason Alexander portraying the most punchable man of all time, Laura San Giacomo as a really fun bestie and PATRICK RICHWOOD as a scene stealing elevator man. Oh, and Garry Marshall with one of the most impossible directing assignments of all time, done perfectly. Folks? After 5 years, this is our longest single podcast episode of all time. We hope you enjoy it, and we love you for everything you've done for us. Happy Valentine's Day. If you'd like Kevin & Jon in your life on the regular, year-round? Join patreon.com/kevinandjon.

Do you Bridgerbuddies have some extra traveling this Thanksgiving season? Some extra time in the car, on a plane, or just drowning out your relatives? Well, we've got a sort of on theme bonus podcast for you, bringing it over from the Patreon to the main feed. (Plot summary starts at 9:04 time stamp) We hop back into the Regency Era for the 2005 Jane Austen adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" starring Keira Knightley. Elizabeth Bennett has to solve a few mysteries before she catches feelings for Mr. Darcy, but our "plain" heroine does just that, while also trying to play wingwoman for her sister Jane. We've got a potato-eating pervert, Mr. Bing Bong, drunk children, a dink with a ponytail, and a nice dad along for this classic ride, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. This podcast happened via a request from SEVERAL patron pals, and if you haven't yet, join the fun over there at patreon.com/kevinandjon! The video version of the podcast can be found over there. And as always…rate and review us, you dukes and debutantes.

In the Queen Charlotte finale, we all have to slide under the bed for a little safety. In future Bridgerton times, the Queen's kids finally clap back at the good Queen/bad mom, while still trying to find her another heir, and a little hat gives away an old secret between Danbury and Violet in future Bridgerton times. In young Queen times, she has her first child, and gets to work on another. In both timelines, she ultimately fights through everyone and everything to find her King. We admit it: the end made us emo. Thanks for joining us on our boozy sprint through Queen Charlotte, and we can't wait to be back for Bridgerton Season 3! Until then, we keep it going over on Patreon.com/kevinandjon. Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter.

It's time for some vegetation-based sexual metaphors! We get a forbidden love story for young Lady Danbury, a hint at a future love story (or lust story) for the extremely worked up Violet Bridgerton, and Queen Charlotte thinks about bolting for Germany. Ultimately, she decides to stay, and fight, and try to save our George. Also there's a wedding for people you absolutely do not care about, Eyebrows and Timothy SHAMalet. Rate and review us, and we'll put in a good word for ya with the newly horned up Mrs. Bridgerton! Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter, and join the extra fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon.

In an episode that is a significant amount of scenes we've literally seen before, we rewind and get the King George perspective of things to this point. We see him get the news of his wife to be, his ensuing episode, and his last ditch effort to try to "fix" himself, which leads him into the hands of a power hungry, abusive doctor. The good news is: he saved a cute lil' doggie. Rate and review us, and we won't dunk ya in the ice bath! Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter, and join the extra fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon.

The Queen and King are still beefin', but that doesn't mean they can't put some good old-fashioned hate sex on a regular, every-other-day schedule. We get the OG Danbury Ball, a look at Bridgermom (Violet Ledger) as a child, with her racist mom and enabling (but better) dad, a death that we've actually been rooting for, and a big weird night for Farmer George…that ends with a pretty nice depiction of real love. Rate and review and you'll be SO invited to our ball. Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter, and join the extra fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon.

The Queen goes from bored to pissed as she chases down her king, and asks the very important question: why no bone zone? Ultimately they locate that very important location (with no witnesses, which is apparently an innovation?), and said bone zone is a place their assistants have been enjoying together for a WHILE, apparently. Queen Danbury is a big highlight in this one, with a great showdown with the Queen Mother, and stepping up into the role as Charlotte's bestie. Things aren't all rosy though, as we end things with an unfortunate mother/son fight, an unfortunate door left open, and an unfortunate panic attack. And if it wasn't too much trouble, a rating and a review would simply charm us. Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Insta, @brosbridgerton on Twitter, and join the extra fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon.

In the first episode of the Queen Charlotte series, the pre-Queen Charlotte finds her way from Germany to England…and she has no idea why she's been chosen. She also has no idea what the King's deal is, or what he looks like. There's a problematic Queen Mother with an ALL TIMER of a problematic question (shout out to Lizzie for the inspiration), an introduction of our girl Danbury, and a baker's dozen of loser kids giving our present-day Queen Charlotte some trouble.  Welcome back, Bridgerbuddies! If you wouldn't mind, we would simply ADORE a rating and a review if you have a moment. Let's binge this thing! Follow us over at @thebridgertonbros on Instagram, @brosbridgerton on Twitter, and join the extra fun at patreon.com/kevinandjon.

May 4th, we will return to binge Queen Charlotte's new series with you. But for now? We go DEEP on the new extended trailer, and catch you up with what we know so far. THEN (starting at 25:08), we tell you all about the book "Inside Bridgerton," from Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Behind the scenes photos, stories, the answers to some controversial topics — it's fun! And it proves: we CAN actually read. Suck on that, haters! If you're missing Kev & Jon, they're over on Patreon! We've got bonus episodes (including a Desperate Housewives podcast) and zoom hangs: Patreon.com/KevinandJon

Happy Valentine's to us all! We have been gifted a new "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" trailer, and more importantly, a release date: May 4. Six episodes will drop all at once the first weekend of May (which we will fully cover), and Kevin and Jon hop on the mics for the first time in MONTHS to analyze the trailer, the characters, and what we know so far.

Lindsay Lohan is back with a Netflix Christmas movie, and Kevin and Jon were hungover after celebrating Friend Christmas this weekend, so we have a seasonal bonus episode for y'all, and if you drink every time you see a Christmas movie cliché, you'll black out 'til actual Xmas. It's Overboard-meets-It's A Wonderful Life with Lindsay Lohan and Chord Overstreet, and they're joined by a Pee Wee Herman-lookin' influencer character, an obvious real Santa Claus that no one seems to notice, and a ton of super fake snow. Happy holidays, and give yourself the gift of joining us at patreon.com/kevinandjon where we're doing bonus movies and shows all the time!

The year was 2004, and a group of ladies on Wisteria Lane brought a bunch of wacky drama that turned into the biggest pop culture phemonenon of the year: Desperate Housewives. Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Nicollette Sheridan and a series of dudes including a hot gardener and — according to Jon — a slightly less hot plumber have given the fellas behind Sex and The Cidiots & The Bridgerton Bros a new project to binge. Kevin and Jon will be taking on season 1 (at least) over on the Patreon while we wait for the return of And Just Like That & Bridgerton, and if you'd like to join us for the ride, head over to patreon.com/kevinandjon.

Dearest Gentlelisteners, as you know, Shondaland is always expanding its borders, and it seems a Bridgerton spinoff will now be delivered unto us…sometime in 2023. Kevin and Jon hop on the mics to sum up what we currently know about the series that was just announced, and to say yes, we will be podcasting about it right here on the Bridgerton Bros feed. Rate and review if you haven't, and mark your calendars for this release date that has not been actually announced by anybody!

Back in 2001, a time travel romcom starring Meg Ryan and a young Hugh Jackman came into our lives, and far in the future, Kevin and Jon talk about it. Hugh Jackman plays Leopold, Duke of Albany, a man out of time and reason enough for us to make this connection with our Bridgerton Bros audience. Come for Hugh's actually great, Golden Globe nominated performance, stay for Sleepy Meg Ryan, Wacky Liev Schreiber and a whole bunch of other surprising, fun cameos.

There's a new, popular, romantic, old-timey British movie on Netflix, so Kevin and Jon figured it was a good time to hop on the Bridgerton Bros feed for an in-between-seasons episode. We're doing the modernized (VERY modernized) Persuasion, a story by Jane Austen. Dakota Johnson stars and breaks the fourth wall, and Jon develops a crush on one of the worst sisters in history in this Cinderella-meets-Fleabag-meets-Bridgerton-meets-Instagram Influencer update on an old classic.

We've got Bridgerton Book Club Experts The Basic Moms (Julie McNulty & Claire Gregory) back again to tell us everything about Bridgerton book 2, "The Viscount Who Loved Me," and how it differed from the Netflix series. The #1 difference? Oh, just the plot. NBD. They also tell us about the new characters, their reaction to the shakeup of Colin and Pen going next, and what the biggest controversy of the season was for fans of the book. Follow The Basic Moms on Instagram @the.basic.moms, and the Facebook Group: Mom Chat by The Basic Moms.

Penlin? Colinope? What do we call them? It seems like this latest Bridgerton announcement is not only saying season 3 will be about Colin and Penelope, but about them…together? Oh boy. We parse the latest Whistledown and talk about our feelings and thoughts (and some of yours!) for the now announced season three of Bridgerton in a lil' mini episode for y'all. We've missed you already! And great news: we'll be back next week to talk about the differences between the books and season two with a couple fun guests, so don't you dare unsubscribe! Instagram: @thebridgertonbros Twitter: @brosbridgerton Patreon.com/KevinAndJon

Listeners of the 'Ton, we're bringing all our stories to a rousing climax in the season 2 finale! (Plot recap begins at 6:32) We're talking about Kate's smol coma, Anthony's growth from angry young man to magnanimous head of the family, the Sharma sisters' public rebrand, world's worst detective Eloise finally getting to the heart of who Whistledown is, and the Featherington's grift reaching its inevitable end. And, thank God…there are some sexy times. It's such a special day, Jon traveled to NYC to broadcast in person from Kevin's studio. It's the end of one hell of a social season, and we can't wait to see you for the next one!  Patreon: patreon.com/kevinandjon Instagram: @thebridgertonbros Twitter: @brosbridgerton

So, the wedding was #awkward, and now no one is talking to the Bridgertons or the Sharmas on their promenade, which is a fate worse than death. The families try to look united in public, put a ball together, and FINALLY, things get sexy…at least until a horse brings us another problem. The Queen picks the wrong Whistledown, Eloise does everything wrong at every step once again, and Penelope writes her most painful gossip yet. Patreon: patreon.com/kevinandjon Instagram: @thebridgertonbros Twitter: @brosbridgerton

It's wedding day, so Anthony and the Sharma sisters really, REALLY have to start figuring out what's going on here. Our Queen is absolutely on one, snorting powder and demanding peacocks, while Edwina puts everything together at the most inconvenient of times. Benny is drunk, Lady Danbury is on her heels for the first time, the Featheringtons are scamming themselves horny, and (spoiler)…faces ACTUALLY touch. Go off, Wacky King!

Wait — is there a way out for Anthony from his proposal to Edwina? Maybe! Lady Bridgerton (who is about to be replaced by Ed?!) pitches an exit plan, and another one presents itself after the Shamra scheme is revealed. There's wet white shirts on buff bois, the absolutely worst humans on Earth (the Sheffields), the dumbest asshole on Earth planning her next scheme (Lady Featherington) and Anthony's babyface turn as he defends the honor of the Sharmas. This is our longest episode oft he season by FAR and we're sorry/hope you enjoy it. Patreon: Patreon.com/KevinandJon Instagram: @thebridgertonbros Twitter: @brosbridgerton

Friends of the 'Ton, it's time to shoot your shot — whether it's at a buck in the wild, or at the woman you think you're supposed to marry. Lady Featherington works with Prudence to hatch the dumbest scheme in the history of dating, and Kate and Anthony get SO close to declaring their feelings, and EVEN CLOSER to touching faces. No one has ever gotten closer to a kiss without doing it, it's incredible. Colin also gets a meeting with Marina and you know what? It doesn't go great, but at least we FINALLY get to hear him talk more about Greece.  Patreon: http://patreon.com/kevinandjon Instagram: @thebridgertonbros

It's flashback time, Bridgerton dad is struck down by a bee, Anthony is traumatized, and we get a lot of backstory. The pinnacle of this ep is definitely when Kate is stung by a bee and Anthony gets, uh, emotional. We also meet Daphne's baby, and the Feather family fully commits to the goofball lifestyle and brings us a lot of hilarious moments. Also: Pall-mall! Patreon: patreon.com/KevinandJon
