Trains (aka A Real Piece of Poo)
Friday Jun 26, 2020
Friday Jun 26, 2020
Sleep, sleep, sleep - oh sleep! Bingo's perfect little life in Trains has just one downside, and we have the same problem (and also, so many problems!)
Gotta Be Done is on the rails as we do the second in this public transport double - but won't somebody think of the floorboards?!
Plus, triple (quadruple?!) threat Chilli doing heavy theatrical lifting, Bandit's classic cartoon injuries, and what's the connection between all-in-character episodes and The Grannies? Hope the Golden Girls is the next step Rita! Me too Madge!

Gotta Be Done is ex-journos and Melbourne mums Kate McMahon and Mary Bolling, as we deep-dive every Bluey episode, with plenty of detours into mama life, childhood memories, and everything else we're bingeing, too!

Bus (aka A Whole Lot of Bullock Going On)
Friday Jun 19, 2020
Friday Jun 19, 2020
Get ready for rush hour, this meandering people-mover is a movie-reference-a-minute!
Kate and Mary get on the Bus and immediately notice a Sandra Bullock theme - or are we just revealing our decidedly 1990s tastes? (Marry us, Bill Pullman!)
And who hasn't made a horror bus journey - or a haphazard attempt at a love-lorn happy ending?
Oh, and joy of joys, here comes the (Grannies) leitmotif - just in time for the figurines, too!

Queens (aka Lorikeets Are Quite Nice Birds Really)
Friday Jun 12, 2020
Friday Jun 12, 2020
We don't mind claiming a royal title now and then, but is Queens also bestowing a sly crown on Gotta Be Done? Or is Team Bluey calling us poo-scrubbers?? It's just another case of fantasy versus reality in this rags to riches game of thrones!
Mary and Kate go head to head on the monarchy debate (can you guess who has the royal biccie tin collection?), wonder about the influence of Netflix bingefest The Crown on this episode, and even spot a future Ludo offering on the horizon (stay tuned for Nibling!)
Plus, it's the first episode with baby Joe in the wagon (and the return of cute baby gurgles in the background!) Pretty damn adorable, by Toutatis!

Escape (aka Personal Life Troubled, Alcoholism, Oh Well)
Friday Jun 05, 2020
Friday Jun 05, 2020
To understand this escapade movie of a Gotta Be Done episode, you probably need to know one of Mary's boys is named Bonaventure.
Now that's dealt with, strap yourselves in kids - it's Escape! Inspired by the offbeat art in this adrenaline-charged Heeler family chase, Mary and Kate compare other kid-drawing-style cartoons. And how good is an "educational" excuse to pop the poppets in front of them!
Meanwhile, how do the Barbie Dream Houses of our collective childhoods drive our current-day commitment to consumerism and/or pink spa baths?
But mainly, can us long-suffering and lockdown-weary parents organise an escape yet?? Coconut-with-umbrella-drink chink!
