57. Beast?! How Dare You!

We are back! Happy New Year, Courting Cuties! For the first episode in 2022, Chatrice and Luis discuss Netflix’s “Sexy Beasts”, a dating show which takes out of the equation looks by using cutting-edge prosthetics to completely change the daters. Our hosts catch up before discussing the main topic. Since last time, Luis has gone semi viral on their food blog and officially revealed their current location; meanwhile, Chatrice is an official glasses wear-er. For ‘Sexy Beasts’ our hosts talk 3 episodes: Emma the demon, Kelechi the rooster, and Kariselle the Panda.
