Bridgerton Ocean's Apart
April 14, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 73 MBWe’re breaking down an emotional episode and we had some breaking news! We now have a total of five new cast members and hopfully we get a Newton soon because Chris Van Dusen is also a part of the Newton Fan Club! All of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series have made the New York Times Bestsellers Monthly list, and six of eight are in the top ten! It seems that Avon books will be producing the books with a makeover so look out for those. If you want details regarding season one intimacy s...
Bridgerton We Have Our Edwina
April 05, 2021 20:00 - 30 minutes - 21.4 MBShe’s finally here… Edwina has been announced! The lady with the beguiling eyes, Charithra Chandran, will be playing Kate’s younger half-sister as mentioned in an article from Deadline.com. The article also mentioned a new nob(ility) to the books named Jack. Our minds were whirling coming up with too-early-to-tell theories regarding who he’ll be connected to. As requested, we dive into the lyrics of “Strange” by Kris Bowers, originally Celeste, featuring Hillary Smith which was played ...
Bridgerton Swish
March 31, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBWendy and Toni are back with happy beginnings turning to scandalous endings! The Duke and Duchess of Hastings could barely keep their hands off each other as they honeymoon at Clyvedon. Their affections have been seen and/or hear by the staff in various rooms of the castle. Their many trysts inside and outside the estate had Daphne curious, and she started asking questions. Daphne learning more about Simon’s history eventually lead to finding out how a woman was to become with child. Es...
Bridgerton The Duke and I
March 16, 2021 00:00 - 2 hours - 83.3 MBThis week, Toni and Wendy swoon over two great speeches! We watch Daphne and Simon say the bare minimum to each other for three days from dawn of the duel to the night of their wedding. Violet dismissed her hangover cure, substituted by the happy news of Daphne’s engagement to the duke. Simon clearly needed the raw eggs and garlic especially after Lady Danbury’s disappointed look. While everyone was excited and preparing for the wedding, Daphne needed to keep Cressida quiet about her gar...
Rank Bridgerton Predictions with Plot Trysts
March 09, 2021 03:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBWe had to share the scandalous piece of gossip we found out last week with Meg and Laine from Plot Trysts so we can bring more theories your way! Last week, we mentioned that the season one script had read “Lady Araminta Cowper.” This can either be a red herring to get us riled up or we could see Lady Cowper as “the” Araminta in Benedict’s story. If so, Cressida will not only be a villain against Penelope, but the villain as Rosamund, Araminta’s eldest daughter. What do you think of the ...
Bridgerton We Survived SNL
February 28, 2021 22:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBWe burn for you too Simon, Duke of Hastings! We were fangirling along with the Saturday Night Live cast, the audience, and everyone else who tuned in to watch the Duke simply breathe. Then we heard his beautiful voice during the monologue, swaying on the pirate ship, and singing “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo between discussing Taylor Swift. A few days later, official Bridgerton merchandise dropped in collaboration with Phenomenal Woman. Several days after that, Bridgerton: The Off...
Bridgerton We Have Our Kate
February 21, 2021 22:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBThe moment we’ve been waiting for… we have our Kate! The fandom has been busy bees with the amazing art, book covers, and memes. Who hasn’t seen the meme of Kate under Anthony’s desk? Also, rumor has it that Newton has been casted and bees will be trained. We were fed a heaping spoonful of Bridgerton goodness this past week and it ended the best way possible. Hopefully everyone watched the Duke of Hastings, Rege-Jean Page, on Saturday Night Live last night because it was glorious! Woul...
Bridgerton An Affair of Honor
February 16, 2021 03:00 - 2 hours - 96.3 MBThis week, Toni and Wendy breakdown a cheesy yet absolutely non-cheesy episode! The episode begins with Violet sneaking a morsel at court before the diamond of the season receives diamonds. We sympathize with the prospect Marina received on behalf of Lady Featherington, until a Penelope disapproved rescuer spun her into happy eagerness. Philipa Featherington also has a suitor who seems perfect for her. Daphne had the perfect opportunity to show Simon she was doing just fine, but is she w...
Bridgerton Art of the Swoon
February 09, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 77.5 MBToni and Wendy are breaking down episode three! We talk about dreaming and fantasizing. We’ve all seen the infamous spoon-licking scene. Simon gave us some “bad” thoughts then played a bad guy to Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.” Cressida showed us her fan flirting, stomping, and fainting skills to ensnare a prince. Is it absolutely over between Siena and Anthony? If so, what did he do with the list of names? Also, it is a truth universally acknowledged during the Regency era that mamas did...
Revisiting Bridgerton Episodes 1 & 2
February 01, 2021 02:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBThere were more Easter eggs from episodes one and two! Toni and Wendy have watched the series many times to help make Bridgerton Netflix’s biggest series debut ever as declared this past week, yet it’s clear they need to keep watching. The littlest things can be easily overlooked or easily missed, and some eggs have been hinted since the Virtual Global Fan Event. The keepsake from the previous Duchess of Hastings was mentioned during the event and Simon has been wearing it since he rode o...
Bridgerton Season 2 is Coming!
January 24, 2021 22:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MBToni and Wendy are elated! Bridgerton Season 2 has been confirmed by creator and showrunner, Chris Van Dusen, and he has been working on a script already. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t read the books, this episode is full of our bold predictions for next season. Toni thinks there’s going to be a Grey’s Anatomy moment because of an accident in the book. Wendy sees the debutante ceremony happening with Kate gliding in her own way, but will the book’s Diamond be declared in the show o...
Bridgerton Shock and Delight
January 18, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBWendy and Toni hope episode two also made everyone feel as if they’ve gone through an emotional roller coaster. The show starts with a past event that brought Simon into this world. The flashbacks correlated with present events giving us a better understanding of the current Duke of Hastings. Horrifying events that young Simon went through portrays the feelings that led to the vow at the end. But as we learn more of Simon, we see the repercussions of Daphne’s facer to Berbrooke in episod...
Bridgerton Diamond of the First Water
January 11, 2021 18:00 - 1 hour - 81.7 MBThis week, Wendy and Toni talk about April 1813 and the start of the marriage market season. We’ve watched the first episode numerous times and paused at the same places to research things and find easter eggs. The eggs led to bee references and to the other Bridgerton books in the series. Gathering information led to a building with a significant surname. Certain colors and plants depicted families well and even led to the stepback cover of “The Duke and I.” We refer to cast and crew a...
Bridgerton Characters
January 04, 2021 04:00 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MBToni and Wendy are back and stalling! This episode is for everyone, but especially for those who need more time to finish the entire season. We’re talking about each of the main characters from the show, hopefully without spoilers. We start with the matriarch of the Bridgertons and then her offspring according to alphabetical order. Then we touch upon the happiest in color family, the Featheringtons. Their happy colors doesn’t seem to impress Queen Charlotte though, and we don’t know wh...
Bridgerton Reaction
December 28, 2020 03:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBThe wait is over, and Shondaland has Wendy and Toni left wanting for more Bridgerton! Yes, dear friends, we have binge watched the entire first season and currently watching them again. We also participated in the Bridgerton Twitter Live event for episodes one and two, and will attend the upcoming balls. A follow-up crossover episode with Plot Trysts to discuss which adaptation to film theories we got right or wrong is definitely needed. To hear our predictions, check our @litwallflowers...
#Bridgerton Full Trailer
December 21, 2020 04:00 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBThe Bridgerton full trailer dropped and Wendy and Toni have much to say about that less than three minutes of gloriousness! We were gifted pictures and articles every day since the drop to help us piece everything together. We received Tweets, emails, and DMs from fellow fans. We witnessed the presentation of Daphne to Queen Charlotte, snorting in front of the Queen and Prince Frederick, and another meeting with the Queen with her intended. We saw the meet-cute of the future Duke and Duc...
Bridgerton Buzzy Week
December 14, 2020 04:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBWe received lots of holiday presents this past week! Julia Quinn hosted or attended Instagram Live interviews this week, and if you listen carefully, there may be spoilers within them. We had some screen time with cast members from their press junkets, and boy were the interviewers asking great questions. Toni received an extra present from Wendy to add to her shadow box frame with the help of Sarah (IG @romantically_swept_away). For listeners, we have the JQ and Book Club Girl Podcast i...
Bridgerton More Sneaky Tweets
December 07, 2020 01:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBWendy has found some buzz for Toni and the Bee community! We bring more sneaky tweets from someone who has read the books. The Twitter account answered questions posed by fans. Some are evaded and some are unanswered due to a gag order, which is okay, the suspense! Also, Julia Quinn had a Instagram Live interview with author Stefanie Sloane, and of course Bridgerton came up. (Side note: “Under the Mistletoe” has a Julia Quinn novella at the end of the book). Thank you to fellow fans wh...
Bridgerton Peas Dinner Scene and Sneaky Tweets
December 01, 2020 23:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBThe flying peas! Toni and Wendy break down the dinner scene released last week. The book describes the events of this scene, but the show gives us context with world building information known to us if we read the next Bridgerton books in the series. If the identity of Lady Whistledown interests us, so does the entire Bridgerton family, but they can all agree who the writer can’t be. Also, there are beautiful fan art posted, some already posted on our @Bridgerton2000 social media platfor...
Bridgerton Global Fan Event
November 26, 2020 20:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MBDuring this time of giving, Toni and Wendy recorded a bonus episode giving the scoop on the Bridgerton Global Fan Event this past week. At least, the information they think they’re allowed to divulge and could hear beyond the screaming, clapping, and crying. We were utterly surprised when some of the cast members appeared and took part in answering some fan questions. The cast told us stories during their down time, even what the horses did to “Simon and Daphne” when filming started. The...
Bridgerton Costumes & Sets & #Polin Oh My!
November 23, 2020 02:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBThis week, Toni and Wendy has lots to say about the articles and pictures we were blessed with this week! We get more insight into the vision for the show in the “How Showrunner Chris Van Dusen Built the Regency World of ‘Bridgerton’” article by Valentina Valentini on the Shondaland.com, complete with pictures. We also got pictures of the costumes and sets from Bad Taste Italia. Guess how many costumes were made for this eight episode season. Who else wants a pink rug in their home? Aut...
#BingingBridgerton on Discord - The Duke and I
November 16, 2020 07:00 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MBWe got a non-Whistledown article, “How Bridgerton is Poised to Revolutionize Romance on Television,” by Maureen Lee Lenker and hope it has been read by all! It gives us insight to the vision of a historical romance in modern times, “which features classical string arrangements of contemporary pop songs.” Plus, are you gushing over the newest pictures we’ve been blessed with recently? This week, Toni and Wendy noted some hot topics on the #TheDukeandI chat on Discord and would like to sh...
Bridgerton Teaser Trailer Break Down
November 09, 2020 03:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBToni and Wendy went frame-by-frame, second-by-second to break down the Bridgerton trailer we were gifted with this past week! They’ve noticed the music, the eyebrow lifts, Lady Whistledown narrations perfectly matched the frames, and much more. With research and help from our fellow Brazilian friends, we know what the first edition of Lady Whistledown’s Society Paper said. There definitely was many avenues to take for discussion. Hastings is back, but what do we think was written on the ...
#Bridgerton Trailer Sneak Peak
November 02, 2020 03:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBNicola Coughlan aka Penelope Featherington hinted that Christmas may come November 1st! It’s today and we’re besides ourselves with a building, characters and an edition of Lady Whistledown Society Papers. Before we bee-come busy with that preview, Julia Quinn and Eloisa James were on IG Live this past week and talked costumes. Now, we all want to know which dress the fabric sample Julia was given was from. Also, we wonder if our sneak peak will soon be followed by a full trailer. Until...
#BingingBridgerton
October 25, 2020 19:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBThe Julia Quinn and Tessa Dare IG Live interview this past week was epic! Toni and Wendy are reliving the interview especially when Tessa Dare takes over and literally zooms in on released Bridgerton photos for discussion. The Bridgerton family photos created more excitement within us. The food made us hungry. The Featheringtons are already causing commotion with their happy colored dresses! If rereading the series is on the agenda then consider one of the #BingingBridgerton readathons ...
Bridgerton is Coming! 2.0
October 19, 2020 23:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBToni and Wendy are back with the big Bridgerton buzz that Simon, Duke of Hastings, created a countdown for. So ... have you seen the photos? Of course you did! Toni hasn't been able to see all the photos yet, and she's itching to see them. But she has to wait a little longer because the ladies will be reacting to the photos soon and posting on their YouTube channel. Until the next Bee news, join the ladies as they get costume inspiration from the photos so they're ready for Halloween an...
