END OF THE WEEK WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE. JENNIFER: THANKS, LOWELL. TIME FOR A LOOK AT WHAT’SEW N STREAMING THIS WEEKEND. LAUREN VENIZIANI JOINING US LIVE THIS MORNING. GREAT TO SEE YOU. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS, JEN. I HAVE A COUPLE OF SHOWS I WANT TO RECOMMEND THIS WEEKEND, AND THE FIRST ONE IS ACTUALLY A NEW SHOW I STARTED BINGING CALLED RAISING DEION. SEASONS 1 AND 2 ARE ON NETFLIX. IT’S ABOUT A YOUNG BOY NAMED DEION WHO DEVELOPS SUPER POWSER AND HIS MOM AND GODFATHER HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD AROD UNHIM. IN SEASON 2, A HUGE TM IHES DEION’S FRIENDSHIP WITH ANOTH ER YOUNG CHILD, AND I WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE CAST, INCLUDING JASON RITTER AND ALICIA WAINWRIGHT. HERE’S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THEIR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS GROWING UP. >> I’M CURIOUS IFOU Y REMEMBER YOUR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AT THAT AGE, IF YOU STILL TALK TO THEM. I DEFINITELY DO. ALL OF MY BEST GIRLFENRIDS FRESHWERAT — ARE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. I’M CURIOUS OF YOUR EXPERIENCE. >> I DEFINITELY TALK TO SOME FRIENDS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I WENT TO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT EVENTUALLY WENT IONT THE SAME UPPER SCHOOL SO THERE WERE A LOT OF USRO FM THAT INITIAL CLASS. BUTYE AH, I MEAN, IT’S SUCH A FORMATIVE TIME IN YOUR LIFE, AND I ALSO THINK YOU SEE PEOPLE AT THEIR MTOS HONEST, KIND OF. IT’S BEFORE WE BECOME SELF-CONSCIOUS AND GO, OH, WAIT, I NEED TO DO TSHI IN ORDER TO MAKE FRIENDS OR BE COOL. I NEED TO START PLAN YOUR ATTACK ON, LIKE, SOCIAL SITUATIONS AND WHEN YOU’RE A KID, YOU JTUS ARE WHO YOU ARE. YOU’RE WILD, YOU’RE EMBARRASSING. THERE’S NO AIRS ON. SO WHEN YOU SEE YOUR FRIENDS AND YOU’RE INCLUDED, PUT THOSE AIRS ON AS YOURY T TO BE COOL, YOU’RE LI, KENO, I REMEMBER. I KNOW WHOOU Y REALLY ARE. TO SOME DEGREE. WE ALL GROW AND CHANGE. BUT THERE’S SOMETHING REALLY BEAUTILFU ABOUT SEEING SOMEONE AT THAT POINT IN THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY’RE SELF-CONSCIOUS. AND, YEAH, CREATES AN INCREDIEBL BOND. >> I’M CURIOUS IF YOU REMEMBER WHO THOSE SPECIAL CHILDHOOD FRIENDS ARE. ALICIA, I WANT TO BEGIN WITH YOU. >> IT’S HARD IF YOU’RE THE KIND OF KID THAT MOVED AROUND A LOT AND CHANGED SCHLSOO A LOT. I WILL SAY, LI,KE ONCE I HIT HIGH SCHOOL, I STILL KEEPP U WITH A LOT OF MY FRIENDS THAT I KNOW FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THAT BEING SAID, I ABSOLUTELY DO REMEMBER THOSE RELATIONSPS IHI HAD IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLND A I THINK, YOU KNOW, LIKE LITTLE GIRLS AND FEELING LIKE YOU HAVE YOUR LITTLE COMMUNITY OF CONNECTI,ON I THINK IT’S SUPER IMPORTANT AND IT’S DEFINITELY LIKE WILD TO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, DEION HAS THESE TWO BEST FRIENDS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY FORM THEIR TRIANEGL JUSTICE AND THINK WHEN I WASN I ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I HAD TWO BEST GIS.FD IT WAS THE THREE OFUS. THERE’S SOMETHING MAGICAL ABOUT THREE WHEN YOU’RE A KID. SO YOU CAN’T EVEN GET ONE-SIDED ON STUFF BECAUSE IT’S LIKE THERE’S — I THINK FOUR IS CHALLENGING. THREE IS KIND OF A SWEET SPOT. JENNIFER: THAT’S FUNNY. USUALLY THREE DSN’TOE WORK. >> THAT’S WHY IT WAS FUNNY SHE SAID THAT. RAISING DEION IS A SWEET SERIES THAT’SUN F TO BING. I LOVE JASON RITTER AND I LOVE ANY KID SUPERHERO STORY. I WOULD GIVE IT 3.5 OUT OF 5. IT WAS REALLY SWEET AND JUST LIKE A FUN BINGE THAT I RANDOMLY CAME ACROSS ON NETFLIX. IT WASUN F TO CHAT WITH THE CAST ABOUT IT. >>OU Y WENT FROM SWEET TO KIND OF HAUNCHY WHIT PAM AND TOMMY. >> OKAY. JEN, PAM AND TOMMY,HE T FIRST THREE EPISODES OF THIS LIMITED SERIES ARE ON HULU. IT’S ABOUT THE SHORT-LIVED ROMANCE OF TMYOM LEE AND PAMEL A ANDERSON. IT IS ABOUTOW H SOMEONE STEALS THINGS OUT OF THEIR HOME. THE BEST TNGHI IS LILLY JAMES AND SEBASTIAN CHAN. THEY LOOK AND SOUND EXACTLY LEIK THEM. I’M ALMOST SHOCKED I’M NOT WATCHING A YOUNG PAM ANDERSON AND THE ACTRESS, LILLY JAMES, O WHREKNOW FROM BABY DRIVER AND CINDERELLA. I’VE SEEN ALL OF THE SEASON. IT WILL BE EIGHT ESOPIDES IN TOTAL, AND IT GETS MEOR DRAMATIC. I REALLY FELT FOR PAM AS IAS W WATCHING THIS SERIES. I THINK IT WILL BRING, LIKE, A WHOLE NEW LIGHT TO THE STORY WHEN EVERYONE GETS TO SEE ALL OF THE EPISOSDE AND I ALSO LOVE THE ’90s NOSTALGIA. GREAT SOUNDTRACK. I CAN’T GET OVEVER HOW AMAZING T MAKEUP IS. I THINK WE’LL SEE EMMY NOMINATISON FOR THEM AND FOR MAKEUP AS WELL. I GIVE IT A 4.5 OUT OF 5. I WAS SURPRISED WITH HOW MUCH I WASBS OESSED WITH THIS SHOW. JENNIFER: EUPHORIA SEASON 2 CAME T.OU WE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT IT LAST WEEK. SEASON 1 GOT A LOT OF HYPE. SEASON 2 IS GETTING HYPE F OR DIFFERENT REASONS TOO. >> YEAH, HALF OF SEASON 2 IS ON HBO. IT’S ABOUT A GUPRO OF HIGH SCHOOLERS WHO LIVE IN NORTH L.A. ETH SERIES FOCUSES ON ADDICTION, THE STRUGGLES OF TEEN FRIENDSHIPS AND THE TURMOIL TEENS FACE I AN CRAZY WAY.
