The uber-talented Chris Veres (who portrays Alexander Hardenberg on DRUCK) joins us for this super exclusive interview. Yes, it's actually him... I'm still in disbelief it actually happened.  The two of us cover so much in this interview, from his upbringing in LA to how he made Alex his own character (and yes, we go in-depth on the panic attack scene) to even discussions about therapy. Chris is so dope and chill, very open and easy to talk to. I am forever grateful to have him on the...

Hey hey! There are so many laughs and tangents with Rachel from @kosegruppie/tarjei.sandvik.moe as we break down episodes 7 and 8 from DRUCK Season 2. Yep, just two episodes this time with a lot of comments and tangents sprinkled in. There's talk about why Winterberg works, some iffy moments that seem too "teen show"-esque, and why Carlos is a moldable boyfriend. You get some bonus Timmy Chalamet talk, why Brad Pitt laughed at Ben, and unpopular opinions! All that and more in this podcast...

So it's been 84 years since we last posted and even this episode was recorded waaaaaaaaaay back in mid-July. Our personal lives may have changed (Claire's been in Ukraine for weeks now and Ben thoroughly enjoyed CT/NYC/Las Vegas), but Druck Season 2 hasn't! OG co-host Claire returns to give us her thoughts on Winterberg, Hans' messiness, what's going on with Jonas, and of course tangents. Yes, plenty of tangents about Shawn Mendes, Harry Potter, and more. All of that madness in this week's...

Move over Noorhelm, we've got Winterberg in the house! With Cath from All of SKAM (the invaluable resource all fans use), we break down Mia as a nuanced character, her spider dynamic with Alex (it's a metaphor lmao), the refreshing changes, and how all of the Girl Squad gets to shine. All that and more in this week's podcast episode reviewing episodes 1-3 of DRUCK Season 2!

Hello, sweet potatoes! Andy, one of the podcast's longtime listeners and frequent emailers, heard our shoutout a few episodes ago and rose to the occasion to guest co-host this week. And guess what? He's German and brings heaps of knowledge and insight about the culture/language. We dive into Season 1's finale and discuss how emotional the Hanna/Jonas breakup scene is, the Alex-Mia dynamic, Kiki's journey and more. On top of that, we give awards out to the season's top scenes, songs, fashion...

We've referenced him so many times, but this week I have the pleasure of bringing on Tumblr's finest, skamenglishsubs to dissect episodes 7-9 of Druck Season 1. Yes, he's not German or even Norwegian, but this Swede is a treasure trove of SKAM knowledge and trivia. Hanna's drama really ramps up in these episodes as she tries to figure out her identity, but luckily, there's some resolution on the horizon. The editing is still messy, but so's this podcast ;) We hope you're entertained with this...

Hallo! I have the amazing @druck.experience.bot's Priscilla and Sveta joining me on this episode. Together, we discuss and break down episodes 4-6 from Hanna's season. So much happens in these episodes that push the storylines forward, such as Kiki doing the deed with Alexander, Toilet Sam drama, and Cold War parallels (maybe Claire will say something about it..). There's talk about Jonas and his puppy eyes, whether or not we're feeling Toilet Sam, the messiness of the Druck transmedia in...

Are y'all shocked the podcast is reviewing Druck (the German adaptation)? It's been hinted at in the past, but here it is! I'm joined by special guest, Rachel, who is better known as @kosegruppie and @tarjei.sandvik.moe.daily on Instagram. We dive into the first three episodes of Hanna's season, but the tangents are alive and we end up talking about Nooras, random actor trivia, SKAM crack videos, and more.  Rachel has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to SKAM and the fandom, so be sure...

It's the episode no one asked for, but we're releasing early! We've been upfront from the start about how we go off on tangents, so this special podcast episode really highlights all the random stuff we talk about. From who should replace Armie Hammer in the Call Me By Your Name sequel to One Direction to how many plants Ben really has, this episode gives you a behind the scenes peek of what we have to edit out! If you listen to it all, then we adore you and you may be a masochist...

We've reached the end of OG SKAM, Alt Er Lovers! It's quite the emotional episode for us, and we're reminded of how cheated we feel of a Vilde season. True to form, we praise King Eskild and Queen Sana, there's some William criticism,  and we adore Evak. It's our longest episode yet, so brace yourselves as we recap and review the series finale. It's truly the end of an era! Wanna share your thoughts? Email: [email protected] IG/reddit: @alterlovepodcast Tumblr:...

Life is smiling and we're smiling because this is one of the best episodes ever! Many great conversations are had and the Girl Squad is officially reassembled. But the Yousana date? Yousef, you have our heart.  Hear our squeals of joy and more in this...

So much is resolved in this episode!  From the russ bus drama to Yousef, we get it all. The Girl Squad may call themselves Los Losers, but they're the winners in the episode. Oh, SOMEONE returns... all that and more discussed in this week's episode...

Y'all, we're conflicted with this episode, especially Sana and Isak's bench conversation. There are gems, but there are mostly problematic statements. Sana's revenge plot is pulling everyone else down, and she herself even cries, which breaks our heart....

It's the first time we've seen this episode! How many carrots can you count in this episode? Probably the same number of Dark Sana looks. We have mixed episode reviews because of some "convenient" things happen in this episode, but that's more on the...

Okay, the last few minutes of this episode? We cannot. Nope, we can't. It's all too much for Sana to handle (Julie Andem is a sadist). One of us is wary of Sara & her eyebrows from the start and the other is naive ;) Elias is a supportive brother,...

Halla, peeps! This might be our favorite episode of the season because of Yousana's chemistry.  If we weren't Yousana shippers before, then we're all on board here.  That basketball scene and their deep conversation really spotlights their connection...

Truly, the only important scene that needs to live rent free in our minds is the carrot scene. Yousef, what are you doing to us? We have some unpopular opinions about Sana, but we love her all around. There's talk about the end scene's goopery, some...

For an 18-minute episode, there's so much to unpack! We fall more in love with Yousef with his cute dance to The Weeknd and support for Sana. Evak provides us with more cute moments and we're eating it up. Oh, there's a battle for the russ bus between...

It's so bittersweet reaching Sana's season because it's the final one! This premiere episode has it all and we are LOVING it. Yes, we never finished this season, but you'll get our hot takes midway. That aside, in this podcast episode, we discuss Queen...
