Playing Now: Netflix Dinner Party feat. Yours Truly

17 May, 2017 Nelia Leave a Comment

Last month, in a surreal turn of events, I filmed something really fun with Netflix. It wasn’t an actual TV show, but Netflix did build us a set, filmed us with 4 different cameras, and made us feel like the stars that we aren’t.

The premise of the Netflix Dinner Party was simple – our gracious host Andrew Dobson of Dobbernation Loves invited a few friends over for yummy bites and dishy conversation – unscripted and raw. We chatted about our fave Netflix shows like The Crown, Grace and Frankie, Riverdale, Stranger Things, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Santa Clarita Diet, and Orange is the New Black, all while enjoying delicious food, and sipping beer through straws (ridiculous, I know…but lipstick stayed on and that’s all that matters!). We discussed pressing issues like “what would your dream vibrator look like?”, “who would you invite to your royal wedding?”, and “how would you kill your zombie boyfriend?”…After watching the zombie episode, le bf was extra nice to me all week…perhaps because of how quickly I answered that question? Either way, he shouldn’t worry as long as he doesn’t start exhibiting zombie-like symptoms. In other news, my Putin statue went mysteriously missing.

Anyway, now that all 7 mini episodes are available, I thought I’d share them here. Hope you enjoy watching these as much as we enjoyed filming them. If you only choose to watch one…I suggest the “Dream Vibrator” epi, so that you can watch Jonathan say “Netflix and Drill” with a straight face.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

More after the jump!
