The girlies sit down to talk about the iconic and disturbing tv show that is Black Mirror. From monkeys that need a hug to evil Matt Damon lookalikes, this show is somehow the best and worst thing they have ever seen. In typical Girl Talk fashion, Em and Nala attempt to share their top three episodes but kinda sorta end up talking about all of them. Other discussions include Grammy predictions and how show-stopping Heidi Klum’s husband looked dressed up as an egg.
