Hi, Felicia! with Marni & Felicia
A new podcast featuring Marni and her mom Felicia talking about all the media they consume and the hottest takes on the latest and greatest movies, tv shows, podcasts, documentaries, books, live performances, and pop culture commentary!
It's a Family Affair
It’s Thanksgiving week, and Marni and KC are joined by their son, Lennon, to break down all the movies they watched. Felicia calls in to talk about the shows she’s been viewing. Marni also covers HBO renewals and a few other updates. This week’s lineup includes All Her Fault, Beast in Me, The Morning Show finale, and the big one: Stranger Things. Felicia is making her way through the Ted Danson show Man on the Inside, and the family movies of the week include Wicked and Zootopia 2, with Lennon weighing in. It’s only fitting that the whol...
Pluribus Love
KC is suddenly feeling creative and motivated, which pulls Marni into recording after a full week in San Francisco. She’s exhausted, but she always does her best viewing on a plane. This week’s top pick is Apple TV’s Pluribus — they’re completely sold, while Felicia is on the fence and dialing in. They also get into the strangest episode yet of The Chair Company, plus All is Fair, Selling the OC, Being Eddie, and more. Expect a few cancellation updates and some surprisingly deep thoughts.

All the Alls
Marni and KC start with a few quick (and admittedly boring) life updates before diving straight into Hollywood news — and then calling Felicia. Felicia delivers her Korean Minute, and the duo breaks down Hulu’s new series All Is Fair, starring Kim Kardashian and a lineup of powerhouse women that everyone’s been talking about.
Felicia gets her Korean Minute in and scores an invite to swing by later for some baseball. Marni also watched All Her Fault with Sarah Snook from Succession — and somehow ended up on Death by Lightning, featuring another Succession favorite, Matthew Macfadyen.
Mar...
I Hate Halloween
Marni believes her mother, Felicia, ruined Halloween for her. Between all the prep that goes into it and her son changing his mind multiple times, it’s all just annoying—and KC thinks Marni simply can’t be bothered. That doesn’t stop her from paying homage to her favorite movie of the year, One Battle After Another, and diving into Halloween-related news, including the new Stranger Things trailer and more. KC finally convinces Marni to prank-call Felicia, who isn’t having it.
In big news, their listeners have been heard: they’ve unshelved Task! This week’s docs include...
The Diplomat, John Candy, Colonoscopy & More
Marni and KC are on a roll this week, phoning in Felicia while she’s out shopping and somehow managing to turn a quick check-in into a full-on Plainview catch-up. The ladies dive into their mutual obsession with The Diplomat — the show of the moment — and Marni admits she binged most of it during her colonoscopy prep (because of course she did).
After a stretch of busy weeks, Marni and KC finally had a few quiet nights to watch TV together. Over three evenings, they made their way through the John Candy documentary on Prime and The Chair...
SHELVED
Marni and KC dive into the latest updates on ChatGPT’s Sora and what it means to live in the “age of illusion.” They catch up on Hollywood renewals and cancellations — from Lioness surviving the cut to other shows not making it.
Marni calls Felicia, who’s hilariously unprepared, but together they celebrate that their trip to Korea is officially happening and admit there’s not much excitement in Plainview these days.
The big moment of the episode? Marni realizes she’s officially shelving shows she doesn’t care about — All of You and Wayward are gone, and KC s...
Black Rabbit, Big Brother & Swiped
Marni & KC are back on their new bi-weekly schedule, with Felicia phoning in—and she’s much happier for it! They share life updates, travel stories, and plenty of TV talk, including Felicia’s wild Korean drama marathon. Marni gushes about Netflix’s “Black Rabbit” and Hulu’s dating app movie “Swiped,” while KC dives into Big Brother updates and his plan with Lennon to audition in 10 years. Marni is catching the new Leo movie this weekend, and KC drops a fun Boogie Nights–Leo connection. Tune in!

We're Back?
The fans have spoken, and even a bi-weekly pod will do! Marni is joined by her husband, KC, for an update on all the things—but of course, they dial in Felicia. Felicia delivers her Korean Minute along with no news from Plainview. They discuss a potential trip to Korea in the spring and dish on Charlie Sheen (definitely the documentary of the week). The Summer I Turned Pretty needs to be over, and Task may be the new Sunday night show. Marni is enjoying the mockumentary The Paper on Peacock, and they dish on what’s coming down the...
Series or Season Finale?
Marni is back on the mic with her husband KC for a long-overdue update. After a summer sabbatical, the future of the podcast is up in the air — but not without some laughs (and a surprise call to Felicia, fresh from a shiva) to weigh in on what’s ahead.
Marni and KC also dive into everything they’ve been watching this summer and share the fall shows they’re most excited about. Tune in for a mix of catch-up, pop culture, and what’s next for the pod.

Special Episode w/Jaime Gleicher
Marni reconnects with Jaime Gleicher, Tony-nominated Broadway co-producer and licensed psychotherapist, who opens up about her full-circle journey from MTV's Rich Girls to producing one of the most powerful plays on Broadway. Jaime shares how a lifelong love of theater led her to invest in and co-produce shows like POTUS, Parade, and most recently John Proctor Is the Villain, a story that deeply resonated with her due to its themes of #MeToo, adolescence, and justice.
She discusses her entry into producing, the emotional impact of the play, and how her own experiences—both personal and professional—shaped her...
Demon Hunters, Dunham, and Liars
Back from a week off, Marni has a lot to cover. There are plenty of sequels and renewals to discuss. Felicia gets annoyed when Marni makes her feel bad for not knowing who Jonathan Chu is ("she doesn't get paid enough"). Marni dove into some Korean content this week, with Netflix’s top-rated movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. We Were Liars was a binge not worth the time—Marni was NOT a fan—so she saved Felicia the trouble. The documentary of the week was Mariska Hargitay’s film My Mom, Jayne on HBO Max. There's lots of fanfare around the late...
No Spoilers: The Bear & The Waterfront
Marni shares fun stories from her week working with Bob the Drag Queen and Jennifer Beals—plus a surprise run-in with Margaret Josephs. Felicia shocks Marni with news of her new Bocce League and with how much of The Bear she’s already watched—clearly the show of the weekend. The Waterfront was a hit too, and Marni shares memories of spending Passover Seder with Topher Grace back when she lived in L.A. The Trainwreck: Poop Cruise documentary on Netflix had everyone laughing, and Squid Game is back on the horizon. A Korean moment is dropped. No spoilers in thi...
Nonna Felicia
Let's start the week with a moment to honor Karen Read.  Felicia recaps her week with friends in town, while Marni shares her celeb spottings—from Jesse Solomon to her experience at Watch What Happens Live. Thanks to the rainy weather, Felicia enjoyed some girl time watching lighthearted movies like Nonna and Like Father. Marni’s recommendation of the week is Prime Video’s The Better Sister, and the movie of the week is Materialists, starring Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans, and Dakota Johnson. Felicia also managed to fit in some Korean dramas, and there’s a big week ahead with Squi...
Titanic & The Cathouse
Felicia is busy in Plainview for game day, so Marni is joined by her husband, KC, to catch up on all the shows she watched this week. After a concert update from Marni, they're joined by a 9-year-old Titanic expert who has not only read the books and seen the movie, but also has thoughts on the new OceanGate documentary on Max.
Once he’s dismissed, Marni dives into some X-rated reflections on her time producing HBO’s Cathouse, now the focus of a new six-part documentary on A&E. Other shows on her list include Mountainhead, Stic...
Finale Week
Marni has a message for Jax Taylor before diving into all the week’s programming. It’s finale season with The Handmaid’s Tale, The Last of Us, and The Rehearsal and the reviews (and disagreements) are flying.
Marni and KC loved the two-part Pee Wee Herman documentary, and KC also recommends Friendship, starring Paul Rudd. There’s debate over Sirens.  Could Nicole Kidman have played Julianne Moore’s role? and Adults on Hulu gets a thumbs up as a fun new comedy.
Felicia is NOT happy with And Just Like That on HBO Max and surpris...
Spoilers Ahead
Felicia, struggling to hear, throws on headphones and is now loud and clear. Marni drops Hollywood updates, including Sterling K. Brown’s new Hulu drama Washington Black (premiering in July), Kaia Gerber stepping into Bret Easton Ellis territory with The Shards, and Conan O’Brien joining the Toy Story 5 crew.
In the spoiler zone: The Last of Us flashback arc, American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden blows Marni away, and The Handmaid’s Tale gets a Moss-directed visual punch.
Overcompensating on Prime is Marni’s show of the week. Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 just dropped on Hulu wit...
English Dubbing, Walton Goggins & Spike Lee Tea
Marni wasn’t planning to record this week, but she had a lot to share—so she’s joined by comedian, actor, and friend Justin Taub. Justin is hosting a new podcast called Define Insanity and is a working actor with great behind-the-scenes stories from his time as a background performer. Despite signing NDAs, he still manages to spill a little tea.
Marni shares updates on this week’s true crime stories, from the Menendez brothers to Karen Read. Felicia joins her in a pre-recorded segment to discuss the new French dramedy Reformed on HBO Max (goodbye, MAX). Th...
We're Having a Day
Lots of news this week with Bravo's big announcements and The Studio officially greenlit for Season 2. Felicia couldn’t care less about the Real Housewives of Rhode Island, but she did manage to watch both The Last of Us and The Handmaid’s Tale this week—along with KC and Marni. While both shows are starting to feel repetitive, Jeffrey Wright’s appearance on The Last of Us was a pleasant surprise (though Pedro is definitely missed).
Marni’s favorite episode of The Studio aired this week, featuring a hilarious spoof of the Golden Globe Awards—highly recommended...
Four Seasons Binge + More
Felicia has quite the busy schedule, but she still managed to catch the best show of the week. Getting right to the point—both Marni and Felicia loved the new Netflix comedy The Four Seasons, starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell. With eight thirty-minute episodes, it was the perfect length and delivered plenty of laughs. Great storylines and a cameo from the man himself, Alan Alda, sealed the deal.
Felicia didn’t quite agree with Marni on Prime’s Étoile, and this week’s episode of The Last of Us felt more like housekeeping. KC, meanwhile, is stuck wat...
Big TV Moments, Nathan Fielder Confusion, and New Binges to Watch
Big moments this week in television—from the shocking episode of The Last of Us to the premiere of HBO's The Rehearsal.
KC takes a seat at the table to join this week's discussion. No surprise that Felicia doesn't quite get Nathan Fielder and has no clear understanding of his brilliance.
The Handmaid's Tale and Your Friends & Neighbors are still in rotation, and Marni started The Happy Face Killer on Paramount+ and watched the Oklahoma City Bombing documentary on Netflix.
The new show to binge this weekend is Prime's Étoile—perfect for anyone who's...
Bad Influence, Six & KDrama Laughs
This week, the mother-daughter duo is in a full-on laughing frenzy. From Felicia’s garbage refuse updates to her Korean dramas, they can barely keep a straight face.
They recently saw Six the Musical on Broadway and review a stacked lineup of shows, including The Last of Us, The Handmaid’s Tale, Black Mirror, Your Friends & Neighbors, The Valley and Marni’s pick of the week, Ransom Canyon on Netflix.
Felicia enjoys her feel-good movie fixes with The Dad Quest and Last Christmas.
Sadie and Jessica Gubenko join the conversation to discuss the Netfli...
When Felicia Skips to the Finale
Felicia shares her frustrations about garbage refuse in Plainview, while Marni fills her in on her son’s mission to collect the McDonald’s Minecraft Happy Meal toy.
Marni had a busy week of content consumption. Dying for Sex on Hulu was good (not amazing), but the show of the week is the White Lotus finale—though, of course, Felicia skipped ahead.
The Handmaid's Tale premiered with three new episodes on Hulu—will June ever get Hannah back? Meanwhile, Jon Hamm’s hair steals the show in Apple TV’s Your Friends & Neighbors, and Hacks dropped on M...
Hola, Felicia!
Marni and KC are back from their yoga retreat in Tulum and are basically new people. After laughing, sweating, and jumping into the ocean naked, they may have finally joined the cult they’ve been yearning for.
Meanwhile, Felicia—while watching her grandson—caught Meg and the Netflix movie The Electric State.
Both Marni and Felicia were not fans of the new Hulu show Mid-Century Modern or Netflix's Residence. Felicia suggests checking out Connie Britton’s new movie Life List, while Marni is loving The Studio.
Felicia gives her Korean Minute, and the gang is...
Felicia is Back
Felicia has returned, and it's been an emotional rollercoaster of a day following Marni's son's recital. After recapping the stage fright and proud family moment, they dive right into the news—from Justin Theroux’s wedding to show cancellations.
Felicia nails her Korean Minute, even though she can’t recall the exact name of the show (When Life Gives You Tangerines), while Marni admits to a few things she had to give up on. The Parenting on Max didn’t stick, and Good American Family was a major disappointment—Ellen Pompeo definitely didn’t hit this one out of the h...
Yentas: Live from Florida
KC and Marni are holding down the podcast fort while Felicia enjoys Florida with her friends. Marni fills KC in on TV show renewals and cancellations and attempts to get Felicia on Zoom.
Once Felicia finally joins with her besties, Karen and Abby, KC shares an update—he's been watching the Korean drama Move to Heaven on Netflix and is completely hooked! Felicia, of course, has already seen it, though under a different title.
The ladies fill us in on the Florida happenings and are having a great time.
After the Zoom, Marni up...
Quickie with KC
Marni and KC catch up on their busy week and how the plan was not to record—but Marni couldn’t resist sharing her big TV reviews.
They call Felicia to get her thoughts on the Paradise finale, which Marni loved, and for an update on her car situation. KC gives a brief rundown on Severance and shares his thoughts on The Traitors.
Marni’s documentary of the week is the Ruby Franke three-episode series on Hulu. It’s so disturbing and she’s so crazy that it’s obviously worth a watch.
KC brings hi...
Opposing Views
Felicia has returned from eating frog legs in Paris and is well-rested after watching most of the shows Marni had hoped she would tune into.
After discussing recent celebrity deaths, they dive right into Running Point, Kate Hudson's new Netflix show. Opinions differ—Marni quickly binged it, enjoying most of it, especially Kate’s wardrobe, while Felicia didn’t make it past the pilot.
They both loved this week’s Paradise, but Fel finds White Lotus slow so far. The ladies also debate with K.C. whether Mean Girls: The Musical is appropriate for Marni’s son, Len...
The Faithfuls w/KC & Dan Brown
Felicia may be in Paris, but Marni is holding down the TV fort with her husband, KC Ellis, and fellow podcast host, Dan Brown.
KC finally took the time this week to join Marni in watching shows like Love Is Blind and the Gabby Petito documentary on Netflix. Marni may give up on Yellowjackets and has mixed feelings about the new Robert De Niro miniseries, Zero Day.
She’s convinced KC fell asleep during White Lotus, but after the first episode, he got the gist.
Dan Brown, a former NBC page, provides great in...
What Are They Smoking?
Marni updates Felicia on all the news of the week, including renewals, Lena Dunham’s new scripted movie, and Ben Stiller's role on HBO.
"Scramming Grammy" is a new segment where Marni questions an email or text she received this week in an attempt to scam her.
Felicia watched the new Scott Foley Netflix movie, La Dolce Villa, while Marni viewed We Live in Time (did not like) but loved Apple Cider Vinegar, a documentary about Belle Gibson, a cancer scammer—which seems to be the theme of the week with Scamanda also airing.
Ma...
Kinda Busy
Marni and Felicia catch up on all things travel, Korean skincare, and babysitting on this week's podcast, including updates on upcoming season renewals and new programs—such as Black Doves 2, a King Charles documentary in the works, and Marni’s favorite, a Karen Read documentary coming to ID next month.
Both ladies watched Amy Schumer’s new Netflix comedy special, Kinda Pregnant. Felicia didn’t care for it, but Marni enjoyed the cast and had some laughs. She does recommend giving it a watch.
Marni checked off Conclave from her Oscar viewing to-do list, while Felicia...
Alte Kake
This week, Marni and Felicia managed to watch a ton of programs—from movies to TV shows and more—but first, Marni reviews the Bethpage Chinese Hair Spa, Gui Fei Spa while Felicia revisits her night in Plainview with an older-aged band. Felicia binged Trauma Code, the new Korean medical drama on Netflix, and she loved it! Marni started Manhunt: OJ Simpson but didn't have the bandwidth to revisit another Diddy doc. The show of the week is Paradise on Hulu—Felicia's new Diplomat. Emilia Perez wasn't as bad as the internet claims, but You're Cordially Invited on Prime was. S...
Back in Action
Felicia fills Marni in on her thoughts about Demi Moore's 'The Substance' and all the future movies that will be played in the clubhouse. Marni updates her mom on the Meta news about grabbing TikTok creators, new season renewals, and the high ratings of Tim Allen's 'Shifting Gears.' Felicia started a bunch of new K-dramas, and though ridiculous, her 'Korean Moment' segment is entertaining. Marni recaps the 'Silo' finale, as well as the 'RHONY' and 'RHOSLC' finales. 'Back in Action,' the new movie starring Cameron Diaz, was a fun watch despite the bad reviews. Â 'Severance' did not d...
Felicia on Traitors, KDramas & More!
Felicia comes in hot and heavy, ready to go. She knows all about the new Korean medical dramas about to drop and schools Marni during her 'Korean moment.' She will not be happy if Leo shows up in the last season of 'Squid Game.' The 'Landman' finale is discussed, along with 'Traitors,' which shocks Marni since Felicia usually doesn't watch it. They go back and forth with banter, betting on whether Jon Hamm's character has died or not. The violence in the new Netflix series 'American Primeval' makes this show not for everyone, but Marni is...
Talk Shows & Natalia w/Dominick Pupa
Felicia is back in action after a successful recovery from gallbladder surgery. However, the ladies are pretty shaken up about the LA fires and take a moment to discuss their Brentwood cousins, sending all their love to them. Felicia shares a 'Korean moment' to discuss her conversation with a new Korean listener, while Marni dives deep into 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter,' with Felicia shaking her head in disbelief. Both watched new medical dramas: 'The Pitt' on Max and 'Doc' on Hulu. Fellow podcast host Dominick Pupa brings his talk show experience to the...
New Year + Squid Game With Jordan Brodsky
Hungover, tired but ready to jump into 2025, Jordan Brodsky, a friend of the pod, joins the ladies for the first episode of the new year. Felicia starts with her review of the Andy Cohen/Anderson Cooper NYE show. Marni immediately dives into the show of the year, 'Squid Game Season 2.' How lucky we are to have Korean pro, Felicia, who spills the tea on some of the actors with new insights only she would know. Marni thinks the show is outstanding and works really hard to avoid spoiling it. It was a big week for movies with 'Mufasa...
End of the Year Wrap with Daryn Carp
TV and podcast host Daryn Carp is this episode's special guest to wrap up the first year of the podcast. Daryn answers all of Marni's hard-hitting questions about Kathy Hilton, her role with Andy Cohen, and thoughts on Hoda's departure. The women review their top content of the year, including favorite unscripted shows from 'The Traitors,' to 'Dance Life,' & 'Love is Blind.' Top scripted picks include 'Industry,' 'The New Look,' and more. Daryn shocks Marni with one of her favorite movies of the year, 'It Ends With Us,' which naturally leads to a...
Feliche Navidad and 50!
The reviews are in! Felicia is a hit, and the listeners want more—even though she is tired. Felicia dives right into her Korean show suggestions, excited to share her current watch, 'When the Phone Rings,' on Netflix. Marni discusses the allegations against Brian Alvarez, star of 'English Teacher,' as well as Karen Huger's bodycam DUI footage post-crash.  Marni loved 'Black Doves' on Netflix, while Felicia did not. However, they both agree that viewing Jason Bateman as the villain in the holiday movie 'Carry On' was enjoyable. Marni and her husband get into the new Aaron Rodgers doc...
Warts & All
After catching up about Dorothy's ruby slippers and the big Golden Globe snub (Jonathan Chu), Felicia reveals she started and finished Apple TV's Drops of God. She loved it but wasn’t as impressed with Netflix's new series No Good Deed. Marni’s viewing of the Christopher Reeve documentary on Max sparks a deeper conversation about pulling the plug and whether they would want to live as paraplegics. Superman was a hero, but these ladies admit they don’t feel as heroic. Jamie Foxx’s Netflix special stunned them with his multi-talented array of skills—entertaining and touching. The standout p...
Docs + Lindsay Roth
The family is all back together, feeling healthy, and ready to chat about all the new content dropped this week. Starting with films such as 'A Real Pain,' which Marni thinks will get an Oscar nomination for Kieran Culkin. Also discussed are Clint Eastwood's 'Juror #2' and Kristen Dunst's flick, 'Civil War.' Marni didn't expect Felicia to watch the new 'Girls Gone Wild' documentary, but she is super grateful she wasn't part of that on-camera debacle. 'No Good Deed' comes highly recommended, but the disappointment of the week has to be learning about Lisa Frank in the...
Movie Madness With Dan Brown
Felicia may be tired post-turkey, but Dan Brown joins the ladies to discuss a ton of content! Marni's husband, KC, is absent with a stomach bug, leaving Dan as the sole commentator this week. 'Wicked' is the current obsession, although Marni's son recommends 'Moana 2' for kids because of its manageable length. Dan provides an in-depth look at Demi Moore's 'The Substance,' while Marni dishes on 'Nightbitch' starring Amy Adams and 'Between the Temples' featuring Carol Kane and Jason Schwartzman. Apple TV receives much praise, from 'Silo' to 'Shrinking' & 'Bad Sisters,' whereas Felicia is hate-watching Billy Crystal's...
