We're Obsessed

Jodi and Nora are taking on Boston and several other things we didn’t ask for! First, Nora shares some of her Taylor Swift song rankings before laying down the law on Halloween costumes (Kim Kardashian, we’re looking at you). Then, the girls confront the deeply unsettling news of a ‘Glee’ reboot, and attempt to make sense of the latest season of 'Love Is Blind' in Boston. They dive into cheating pastors and more on the We’re Obsessed Book Club before wrapping up with their personal obsessions.

Is Kelly Clarkson relatable? Is she capable of “asymmetrical social warfare”? Adam Rubin has thoughts, and so do Jodi and Nora.

Then it’s off to Animal Corner, where they investigate Chicago billionaires feeding squirrels nuts and the Upper West Side barn owls taking over NYC. Plus, the Lenaquake is imminent, 'Girls' is making a comeback, and, as always, they wrap things up with their personal obsessions.
