Now we know why the blurb for this one is just, “Literature comes alive for little Cory...” Sex, lies, and videotape are the topics addressed in this scandalous episode in which Turner takes his progressive teaching moves a bit too far… We sipped Ruza Rose and talked at length about S-E-X in Season 2 Episode 7: “Wake Up, Little Cory!”

Where have WE been? Where have YOU been!? This week, we sipped another Winc wine as we discussed Season 2 Episode 6: “Who’s Afraid of Cory Wolf?” A red blend called “Illusion” paired perfectly with an episode we…sort of wish was just an illusion. If you don’t want this one to go right over your head, we recommend watching the 1941 black-and-white film, “The Wolf Man”. Having seen Edward Albee’s 1962 play, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” won’t help—and neither will having read William Golding’s 1954 novel, The Lord of the Flies, though both are superficially referenced in this bewildering episode in which Cory believes he’s turning into a werewolf. While it’s obvious to viewers that it’s all an allegory for puberty, no one in the BMW-universe seems to pick up on that… Grab the remote and get ready to be…a little confused!

Do you think Cory Matthews is “cool”? This week we tried the next bottle in our Winc subscription box: Finke’s Sparkling Brut from Italy, and we paired it with Season 2 Episode 5: “The Uninvited”—Cory tries to fit in with the popular crowd. Pop a bottle of bubbly and join us as we discuss what it means to be COOL. Spoiler: trying to be cool is super uncool.
