From toys on the floor to vacuums that still have wheels and implausibly wide skirting boards, there's a lot that's very convenient about Postman (and if you want convenience, why wouldn't you just shorten it to Postie?!)
Bluey's making Kate and her "fake arguments" feel seen, and same for Mary with her ground is lava obsession. Also, Mary grew up with lava floors while Kate grew up with crocodile ones - is it the same game, or oceans apart? And where does A*Mazing fit in?
Plus, we bust open the secret of making kids music that reaches millions - it's as easy as pop goes the weasel. (We're onto you, The Kiboomers!)

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!

Swim School (aka Margarets as Victims of Toxic Power Structures)

We’re diving into Swim School, but is this the least relatable Bluey episode out of 2020? The Heelers are in Bali and Kate and Mary are struggling to recall how you even get overseas!
But a holiday plot is (nearly) as good as a holiday, and this one takes Gotta Be Done to the big-haired 80s (does ANYONE else share Mary’s triplej memories of Bevan the Musical?? Luckily, YouTube does!) And briefly back to the 2020 hellscape (hello, Karen!) - but there's hope to find for 2021 too.
Ninja kicks!

Easter (aka Eggsistential Doubt and Other Problems)
Friday May 14, 2021
Friday May 14, 2021
We are risen! Gotta Be Done is back and belatedly bringing Easter offerings, faith theories and left-over chocolate - hallelujah!
Appropriately taking on the universe's biggest questions (Nicholas Cage: good or bad?), this madcap mess finds treasure along the way - even if it's just Mary and Kate occasionally just getting to go to the toilet by ourselves.
(Also, all the back episodes are back in Apple and Spotify - miracles everywhere people!)

VINTAGE GOTTA BE DONE: Queens (aka Lorikeets Are Quite Nice Birds Really)
Friday May 07, 2021

One more week in the archives for Gotta Be Done, and just in time for Mother's Day, what better place to go than Queens?!
This recap was also baby Joe's first appearance on the pod - and now nearly a year on, that gorgeous bub has just turned one!
Time and tide truly wait for no man/dog/queen, but at least in the intervening year we've finally found our answer: Chilli saying "gotta be done" was a shoutout to us! (Joe Brumm may have confirmed this under duress.)
Back with a new Bluey recap next week folks - it's not too late to say happy Easter, right?! In the meantime, hope all the Chillis/ Trixies/ Nannas/ Grannies have a beaut Mother's Day, you're all absolutely Queens!
