S3 E6: Waffles and Mochi and Hard

This week we hit both ends of the spectrum. First an American new show for kids, that grownups will love too, Next, a Brazilian comedy that is most definitely for adults only!

Waffles and Mochi – NETFLIX

From Barack and Michelle Obama‘s production company, Higher Ground Productions, part of the massive deal between the Obamas and Netflix comes Waffles and Mochi. Create by Erika Thormahlen and Jeremy Konner (Drunk History)

It’s a sweet journey where two best friends (Michelle Zamora and Piotr Michael) from the Land of Frozen Food travel to the city with a dream of being chefs. After hitching a ride with a food truck, discovering the world of fresh food at a supermarket owned by “Mrs. O” (Michelle Obama. They travel in a magic shopping cart learning about different foods (and lots) more with guests like Common and Jack Black and world-class chefs from around the world.
And then there’s the music! Our favorite so far is “I’m a Fruit” by Sia.

Waffles and Mochi is a show for everybody. Watch it with your kids. Watch it with your grandkids. Watch it alone. Def watch it when you’re stoned! (Elaine made a bad rhyme)

Hard (HBO MAX)

Hard is a fun, sexy Brazilian dramedy currently on HBO MAX. We couldn’t even find an English subtitled trailer, but trust us, it’s subtitled on HBO MAX. Easy 30 minute episodes; it kind of reminds us of Weeds, if the weed was porn. Check it out, don’t think too hard about the donkey, and definitely don’t Google the Brazilian Donkey show. Elaine did, and she nearly went blind.
Hard stars Natália Lage, Julio Machado (as the most loveable porn star), Denise Del Vecchio, Fernando Alves Pinto, and Nathália Falcão.
