Shelley Has Opinions Episode 54: Silent Movies

If you're looking for overacting and Tramp Talk, you've come to the right place. The Chatfield Girls are chatting about silent movies, and they only have two references: "Singin' in the Rain" and Charlie Chaplin. Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Carlie discuss Holly's hearing loss, Shelley's TV friends, and Carlie's obsession with 1776. Plus, Julie introduces a new segment called "One of These Things is Just Like the Other."

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 53: GIFs

A picture is worth a thousand words, so is a moving picture worth a thousand thousands? The Chatfield Girls discuss the pros and cons of using GIFs—Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Kellie use words to discuss the glossy moving jpgs that are GIFs. Their hypnotic powers drive Holly to become a despot, and Julie decries the death of language. Plus, a new segment figures out "Who's Your Celebrity Grandpa?"

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 52: Obstacle Courses

At the starting line, the Chatfield Girls size up the pros and cons of all things obstacle courses! Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Carlie consider if there's a backside of ropes, being the leading man/lady in your own life, and the possibility of a very cautious obstacle course. Also, "You Couldn't Pay Me" considers the price for everyday torture—what 5-digit number would Carlie need to be paid to watch "Brave" twice in a row? See you at the finish line!

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 51: Indoor Outdoor Things

Do you like activities that people do outdoors, but love the safety and security of walls? The Girlos have something for you, because they discuss the pros and cons of Indoor Outdoor Things. Making s'mores over a gas stove, cycling on a banked track, and skydiving in a tube are all Indoor Outdoor Things, but does Shelley like them? Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Kellie go over it with a fine-toothed comb. Plus, another "What's Your Name" segment featuring a random job generator.

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 50: Audiobooks

Who has time to read books these days? Not the Chatfield Girls! Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Kellie talk about the pros and cons of audiobooks. Cracker Barrel plays a key role in the discussion, as does the phrase "I ain't care." Plus, Julie presents a new segment called "First Impressions," where the girls say the first thing that comes to their mind when presented with topics (spoiler alert: Dr. Seuss and Shakespeare are more connected than you think).

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 49: Best Carnival Ride

Hang on to your hats and glasses, Shelley Gang, 'cause this here's the wildest ride at the carnival! Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Carlie (as well as the ghost of Kellie) talk about the late-summer magic of carnival rides. Which ride is the most romantic? Which ride will not spin around? Which ride inspired both of Walt Disney's hearts? Also, Shelley gives a controversial opinion about carnival foods. And finally, Shelley pulls a recipe for cinnamon sugar bread from thin air in the latest "Peanut Butter and Shelley." 

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 48: Souvenirs

The Chatfield Girls want to remember this episode forever, so they do a deep dive on the subject of souvenirs. Should they spend top dollar on souvenir yachts, or would a five-finger-discount refrigerator be better? Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Carlie make some souvenir goofs. Shelley has a strong opinion, shockingly. And Holly talks about infomercials during the "One Saturday Afternoon" segment. Choose your Girlo refrigerator magnet and whisper your memories into it, Shelley Gang!

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 47: Drive-In Movies

Climb in our trunk, Shelley Gang, and we will sneak you into the drive-in movie theater starring the Chatfield Girls! Holly, Shelley, Julie, and Kellie weigh the pros and cons of seeing movies under the stars. They guide the Shelley Gang through the best outlawed movie snacks and take turns having a random in-depth discussion on silly murders. But, mostly, they just try to get Shelley to say her opinion on these magnificent screens. Also, "What's Your Name?" makes a comeback with a name generator for Solar Eclipse Identities!

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 46: Glamping

Turn out the chandelier and turn down the goose-down bedding, it's time to go Glamping with the Chatfield Girls! Holly, Shelley, and Kellie discuss whether tents have walls, how fancy hot dogs really are, and the true joy of showering. Plus, a "Kid Jokes" segment that makes a campaign promise about robbing banks! Gather 'round the campfire, Shelley Gang, it's time to get weird.

[Editor's Note: Near the end of the episode, Shelley's audio goes a little wonky. We tried to clean it up as much as humanly possible. Thanks for being understanding!]

Shelley Has Opinions Episode 45: Clip Shows

Happy 1-year anniversary, Shelley Gang! All 5 Chatfield Girls are together to celebrate the occasion by talking about the pros and cons of clip shows—are they placeholders for worn-out sitcom writers or opportunities to revisit your favorite guest stars and montages? Shelley gets a chance to redeem herself, and the rest of the girls look back fondly on the last year. Plus, Shelley has prepared a special recipe in a unique "Peanut Butter & Shelley." Group hug, everyone!
