i think i've seen this film before…and Yasmina was right! Yep, it’s time for Yasmina’s season and it’s totally fine and enjoyable. Join us in the never ending discussion of why it’s hard to adapt a Sana season. This time around we had some issues - especially with the portrayal of Yasmina’s parents and a lack of nuance. But still enjoyed Yasmina, her friendships (Luca!) and romance (Younes!). Let us know your thoughts!

Hello…anyone still there? Hear us talk about Skam news that are almost a year old because that’s how long ago we recorded this, but we still hit some relevant points.  Join us to discuss Druck season 6! This season is all about our girl Fatou.  We love Fatou. We love Ava. We love Kieu My…We love all our flawed teens (except Constantin), but kind of just like the season as a whole. And remember Fatou is the turtle (it’s a metaphor!!!).

This. Season. Has. Everything. And we mean EVERYTHING. Mean girls, addiction, hospitalization, secret affairs, tragic backstories, hook ups, dead parents, urban exploration, new friend groups, bitch slaps, sister betrayal, bio-dad rejection, extremely patient love interests, and sentimental, tinkling piano scores. Because like Tiffany, France really commits to the bit. Gaby liked it more than expected, Liska just might talk herself into liking it by the end. One thing we can agree in on is Lola is a complex and strangely lovable character. Join us as we discuss all this and more… and this is just the first half!

Buongiorno! It's time to talk about season four of Skam Italia and we've got some notes. This season has a weird place in the Skam-verse and we try to break down why that is. We still love our Italia squads, but despite a strong ending, this season felt a bit superficial to us. Still, we love discussing and dissecting this corner of the Skam universe.

Taking a brief break from SKAM, Gaby and Liska finally sat down to discuss YOUNG ROYALS! Joining us is the one, the only, the legendary Henrik of skamenglishsubs, with his fascinating insider knowledge of the country and culture. We discuss the ins and outs of Swedish royalty (naturally), class solidarity, boarding schools, the show’s realism, the characters and their complicated relationships, what we loved about the show, what maybe could have been better, and “those hair clips cost how much???” And this is just part 1!

We're back! It's time to talk about our girl Nora Machwitz! We're a little divided on what works or doesn't work this season, but we're both very impressed Druck managed to bring the spirit of skam to a new generation of characters. In this episode we gush about Nora, defend our supportive king John, love to hate on Consti and we like Kieu My so much Fatou might not be the only one with a crush....suffice to say there's lots to talk about and we say artifice a lot for some reason.

Join us to talk about Skam España FOR THE LAST TIME as we tackle all the non-Amira POVs in season 4: Alejandro (enjoyable), Lucas (messy) and Joana (glad to see her?). Overall we have some mixed reactions, but agree that there's just not enough time and specificity given to these storylines. Still, we love España and are sad to say adios to these characters!

One of our favorite remakes tackles the always complicated, never-quite-completely-satisfying Sana season with predictably mixed results. We love Amira, we love Las Labass, we’re a little mixed on Dani, and rather divided on Amiris. The season tackles Amira’s Muslim faith sensitively and head-on, and somehow loses the plot (metaphorically speaking). Was it due to shooting during Covid? We’ll never know. Join us as we discuss Skam Espana, season 4! (spoiler alert...this is just part 1!)

WtFock season 3 gave us a lot to talk about. There are many things we liked: Some beautiful character moments, we were introduced to Noor, Robbe might be the gentlest Isak, and Sander is insanely talented...and yet the writing left us wanting more. This season has a lot to live up to and some baffling writing choices make us feel more lukewarm about this season than we’d want to be. Come hear our thoughts and feel free to tell us why our Sobbe opinions are wrong!

We dive into our first original character with Arthur, a compelling character who, after six hours of his season, we just don’t really know. The discussion revolves around love triangles, character cores, well-intentioned messaging that doesn’t quite practice what it preaches, and why Emma, Bas, and Fifi are superstars. Digressions include THE SOUND OF METAL (2019), our shameful ableist moments, remote Maine islands, and why ASL should be part of our regular school curriculum. Our voices were raw by the end!

We always love talking about Italia, even if this is our least favorite season.  We are sad to report that Liska was not a fan of this season, while Gaby would call it perfectly adequate.  While there are many parts of this season that we enjoyed, it just didn’t come together for us. Gaby decides that Incantava is the most dramatic, but also the most rational Noorhelm, how does that make sense? Listen and find out!  Join us as we dissect why the directing, writing, and yes, the aesthetic left us feeling like this season was more style than substance.

No intro, just straight Skam talk in the second half of our unplanned two-parter. We discuss how the show goes from no conflict to punching in 60 seconds or less, why Winterberg is weirdly the best, and Jonas and Hanna the sweetest. Have we mentioned we love Matteo? Because we really love Matteo. Liska and Gaby wrap up Druck s4. In a void, we quite enjoyed it.

We tackle a very puzzling season of Druck, which attempts to smooth out some of Sana’s rough edges and somehow takes out all the conflict. Join us for the first half of our very meandering discussion on Amira, her family, Mazzouk, Kiki, and the season where we love the characters, yet are overall left lacking. For bonus fun, take a shot every time Liska says “backbone.” Our apologies for the bad audio. I’d say we’re going to fix it, but honestly we can't figure out what went wrong.

UPDATE: This is part 1 of a 2-parter, which we weren't planning on, hence the abrupt ending, but 2 hours of SKAM discussion felt a bit much even for us. Part 2 coming very soon!

Clearly a lot to discuss but at least we both agree that the girl squad sucks. Apologies for the glitchy audio we were fighting with some less than ideal wifi connections.

Seven clips. Eight characters. No Sana....It’s time to start saying goodbye to our friends! We discuss the POV clips for Vilde, Penetrator Chris, Jonas, Chris, Even, William and Eskild and Linn. So many parallels and references to enjoy (we love you Julian Dahl!) There's a lot to love, even in the clips that left us wanting more, but above all, we're sad the end is almost here! Join us as we discuss part 1 of the final episode of Skam. 

Join us for part 2 of our Skam España season 3 discussion!!! We finally get to Nora's story and some of our other faves (there was a time Gaby missed Lucas! lol). But mostly we're here to talk about our co-lead for the season, Elvira "Viri" Gomez! Her insecurities, her strengths, the complexities of her relationships with her family and the girlsquad, and, of course, Hugo. We're huge fans of how España used the extra content to efficiently (and emotionally) tell Viri's story.

We all tuned in for NorAndro and instead got MiNora. Boo! But is it also secretly about NorAndro? Liska and Gaby take a deep dive into Nora, Miquel, their relationship, his turtlenecks, and how it all cleverly reflects and subverts NoorHelm. Join us for the first half (!!!) of our discussion on Skam España season 3.

Liska finally watched a season of Skam France! Yes, it's time to talk about Skam France season 3 and there's A LOT to go over (sorry for the runtime...). France embraces the DRAMA, which somehow mostly works. The season starts a bit shaky (and we're still not fans of the coming out scene), but it all comes together by the end.Turns out the charm of Elu is undeniable and we can't help gushing over Polaris, the tunnel/rain kiss, the piano scene....

Friendships are mended, love is rekindled, compartments are de-compartmentalized, marriage and discussed, all is forgiven, and Sana gets advice from everyone and (literally) her mother. In true Sana form, she resists every. single. step. of the way. But the season ends on one of the most beautiful scenes of the whole show.

A few things to note: 1) We’re sorry this took so long. It’s entirely coronavirus’ fault! And maybe Liska’s too. The “news” we update is comically out of date. 2) There are moments of weird background noise I couldn’t get rid of. I did my best! 3) That moment when Gaby says, “Are you my friend now?” she is talking to Liska's cat, not to Liska!

Join us as we discuss Sana’s last episode. We get deep, yo.

This episode gave us all the feels! Sana starts this week dreading that she will lose the girl squad forever, but by the end they're stronger than ever! With our friend Shelby as guest we discuss the challenges of Sana being such an internal character, how great of an actress Iman is, and how amused we are by Yousef's confusion when it comes to girls. We would also like the record to show that Chris is the best. Which Chris? Listen and find out!

Sana’s mad at Elias, at Yousef, at the whole world really, and she’s going to take it out on Sara. And it’s a delight! … Until it’s definitely not. Everyone rushes to Sara’s defense, Vilde ends up the most hurt, and Isak has to take the bullet for Sana. Yes, Sana, there are consequences to actions. Then we break down the possibly most frustrating conversation in all of Skamdom. Join us as we discuss Season 4, episode 7, “We Must Stand Together.”

Sana quits the bus before she can get kicked off and continues to feel distanced from everyone. The carrot discourse lives on, but it's more angsty than cute this time. Look, everyone is bad at communicating and people need to ask some follow up questions! Sana comes up with a plan to take down Sara, it's not a great plan, but it's a plan? We also learn Isak should never make tea. EVER.

Sana feels alienated from the girl squad and is (rightfully) suspicious of Sara and Pepsi Max. She continues to wrestle with her feelings for Yousef and her faith. The real MVP of the episode is Elias who is basically just the best brother! This episode also has our least favorite five minutes of the season (of the series?)...seriously, we have a lot of feelings about this!

Sana does have one thing going for her, her super adorable crush on Yousef!  And who can blame her? He’s got dance moves and sends her supportive memes! sa-woon

It's time for season 4 of SKAM and it's actually a pretty great season premiere that sets up interesting and compelling themes and conflict. Sana's worlds are colliding and she's not happy about it. We're HUGE fans of Yousana and unlike Sana, we love hanging out with the balloon squad. We're less into the girl squad letting us down and the first of many "nei vilde". We also tackle the question of whether or not season 4 is cursed. Join us as we begin our discussion of Sana's season, which sadly, is also the final season of OG SKAM.

We dive back into the delicately balanced stories of Eva’s season, this time in Belgium! Braces, languages, Christmas shoes, and some (somewhat) inexplicable changes to the OG are discussed. Liska gets very shouty about visual storytelling. And we kept it to almost an hour! Join us for a discussion of the very popular, yet-somehow-always-forgotten Skam remake — WTFock.

Hola! We are joined by our friend to discuss season 2 of SKAM España which is all about Cristina Soto Peña! The first Cris to get her own season (or is she an Isak now? Joana is totally an Even). We really like the girl squad and want Amira to be our best friend. But really it’s all about Cris and Joana,  Crisana? Croana? Whatever they’re called, we love them and have lots of thoughts about their love story.

With our friend as guest, we discuss just how much Isak has changed (confidence looks good on him!), representation of mental illness in the show (Even deserves his own season!), and how Isak and Even melt our hearts (Evak 4 ever).

But that’s our psych 101! Join us as we discuss sleeping arrangements, biology buddies, painfully well-intentioned mothers and girlfriends, and, of course, the pool scene.

Sometimes the lyrics of a song will tell us exactly what our character is thinking and that's beautiful. Isak, for example, would like for Evan to talk to Sonja, and you know, let her know that he's met somebody new. Yes, it's time for the iconic "Call Your Girlfriend" scene where the chemistry between Even and Isak is so intense we wonder how no one else at that party can see it? Also, Jonas continues to be a perceptive and caring friend.

William continues his streak of being very sweet and supportive, just ignore the part where he does Noora’s homework for her. One of us is very upset about that — guess who?! Girl squad comes together in the most spectacular of ways, Russ week ends, Constitution Day is celebrated at the hospital, and Human Garbage finally gets taken to the dump, so of course he tries to take Noora down with him. It’s the biggest of all Skam episodes and we talk about it for almost an hour, which is really almost conservative of us.

Noora is depressed, shut down, anxious, and snapping at everyone as she waits for answers. It’s basically devastating to watch. On the plus side, William’s probably at his best. Also, we rant a lot about Human Garbage (Nico). It’s a short episode, but an emotionally wrecking one.

Noora then immediately starts telling everyone but William that she's in love with him. More or less. At least she finally comes clean to Vilde!

We haven't had a long episode in while...so so here's one for y'all. 

He’s Creepy, he’s kookie… he’s positively spooky… he’s William! We discuss episode 6 and 7 of season 2 where William promises not to be a dick, then proceeds to break the promise again and again… and yet, maybe we can kind of see where he’s coming from? Kind of, sort of? We also got carried away talking about William’s Rus pants. There's a lot of William.  

Vilde’s at her pettiest, snakiest self and WE ARE HERE FOR IT. Sana has her first encounter with Jamila and “the hijab police.”  Also we can never have too much of Eskild, even when he is a little too much.

Episodes discussed  season 2, episode 6 "I don't want to be protected" and episode 7 "Noora, you need cock"

The Penetrators are holding a fundraiser and it's all everyone can talk about, except Noora who can't stop talking about helping refugees. 

Join us as we discuss season 2, episode 5, "I'm certainly not jealous". It's a big Noorhelm episode, where Noora has to finally make a decision as to how she feels about William. We're still not sure how we feel about him, but we sorta get why Noora can't help herself.

Our trip around the Skam-verse continues as we delve into season one of SKAM NL, the Dutch adaptation of SKAM. 

There's a lot to love in this adaptation, which really captures the spirit of the original while still doing it's own thing. 

Highlights include:

-How Isa's grumpiness is relatable AF.  -We absolutely love the diversity! (More please!) -Liska's found her least favorite William in Noah.  -Gaby wonders if there's a version of Isak she won't immediately love, because Lucas is the most beautiful snake.

Hola, consider this episode our application to adopt Lucas so we can protect him forever. 

We finished season one of Skam España and obviously had thoughts on the season as a whole, so here's part 2 of our Skam España discussion. We liked it!...with reservations. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

We discuss season 2, episode 3 "Are you hiding something from us?" 

Guys, guess what? WE DON'T HATE NOORHELM THIS EPISODE. 

One of us *cough*Gaby*cough* even texted the words: "If I was Noorhelm trash this would be why." IS THIS THE UPSIDE DOWN? 

Don't miss as we discuss:

-How Vilde knows something is up with Noora. 

-Eva is still the best. 

-Noora sings! 

-William smiles

and of course, how BED SHARING IS THE BEST TROPE.

IT'S SEASON 2 OF OG SKAM! 

Which means we get to talk about our badass feminist main, Noora Amalie Sætre. 

We admit we were not super excited about season 2, then we re-watched the first two episodes of season 2 and we kind of loved them. So yay!

Join us as we discuss: 

-Noora's feminism. 

-William's manipulations and how they make us feel (not good). 

-Noora's clear attraction to William and how it makes her feel (not great...for now).  

-And the neverending debate: our complicated feelings about Noorhelm and what works and doesn't work for us so far. We're very conflicted about it (just like Noora!).  

Episodes discussed:  "If only you'd kept your promises" and "You lie to a friend and blame me"

Hello lovely listeners! 

What was meant to be a short discussion on Skam España season 1 turned into its own episode! 

So join us as we discuss Skam España (up until episode 9), a remake we both enjoyed a lot. We would totally be down for hanging out with both the Spanish girl squad and boy squad. 

Also, Lucas might be a saint? 

PS Our Noora episode is recorded and will be out soon!!

IT'S THE END OF SEASON 1 AND WE HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS. 

Join us as we...

-Say our good-byes to Eva, Queen of Our Hearts.

-Gush some more about the Girl Squad.

-Go on some LONG TANGENTS ABOUT BAD BOYS as we try to puzzle out William and what his deal is. 

-Are super sad about Jonas and Eva. 

-Appreciate Noora's maturity despite the fact that apparently she can't be trusted not to snoop on your phone. 

And finally: 

-Gaby accidentally calls Isak a millenial for a second and now hates herself for it. 

Hello Skamily, we interrupt our regular schedule and bring you a SKAM AUSTIN EXTRAVANGANZA! 

Join us and our very special, iconic guest, Gaby's cousin Kari as we devote an entire episode to SKAM Austin.

Unlike us, our guest has only watched Skam Austin so we were excited to hear her thoughts. It was a fun conversation. :)  

Join us as we discuss episodes 9 and 10 of OG SKAM season 1, where Eva goes from looking sad and depressed to hella fine. More importantly, SHE CONFRONTS HER SHAME and begins to make peace with her choices. Isak's throne of lies comes tumbling down, Vilde is a hot mess, and William proves in just one scene how cool he can be. 

We also chat about the upcoming season of Skam Italia and what success might mean for Skam Austin. 

Wherein we discuss:

- Skam Italia vs og Skam in honor of Gaby's trip (and we try to offend as many Skam nationalities as possible on this show)

- All the not-so-secret-secrets that are revealed

- And all the ways in which Lisa Teiga's performance continues to blow us away

Then BUCKLE UP because we about to get real contraversial re: Noorhelm

LISKA HAS THE PODBEAN REINS SO HAHAHAHAHAH GABY

This is a discussion of episode 7 of o.g. SKAM, where Eva is wracked with guilt, Vilda is in LaLaVildaland, Noora is a feminist icon, and Isak is in only one scene and STILL wins the title of our episode.

Also we say a lot of stuff where we try not to offend Norwegians or Austinites (Austinonians?). Don't @ us. Just kidding, please @ us. 

It's the midpoint of season one of OG SKAM and there's lot of, as P Chris would say, "DRAAAMA". Jonas and Eva can't stop the passive aggresiveness. Vilde is a hurricane of emotions (mostly towards William). And yes, P Chris brings on the promised "DRAAAMA". 

Join us as we discuss episodes 5 and 6 of season 1. We also briefly go into SKAM Austin and the complexities of adapatations. v

In the second episode of Cries in Norwegian, we briefly discuss the first couple of clips of SKAM Austin, the brand-new American adaptation of SKAM. Then we delve into episode 3 and 4 of OG SKAM where the girl squad finally comes together! AND WE MEET SANA. 

A TV podcast in which we discuss the Norwegian teen show and internet sensation, SKAM. Each episode takes a look at one or two installments of each season. Hosted by Gabriela Acevedo and Liska Ostojic.
