Sunday, 21 December, 2025

Episode Notes Two friends, many dizis, and an accidental Christmas special. 🎄✨ This week Eda and Maha start with what they’ve been watching, then wander happily into colors, words, creativity, and cozy holiday traditions. What we watched this week Eda: Halef Uzak Şehir Go Türkiye series: An Istanbul Story Kıskanmak Maha: Uzak Şehir Go Türkiye series: An Istanbul Story Veliaht Güller ve Günahlar We talk about what’s working (and not working) in these shows, how our expectations are changing as viewers, and why some dizis keep pulling us back even when they drive us crazy. From there, we go full “seasonal special” with some current cultural obsessions: Pantone picking Cloud Dancer (white) as Color of the Year Dictionary.com choosing “6–7” as Word of the Yea Maha’s experience at a“Bedazzling” book event and how using our hands (crafts, making things, handwriting) can quietly feed our creativity Eda's thoughts on Christmas as a non-Christmas person – not celebrating it religiously as Muslims, but still loving the lights, decorations, and the shared joy of the season Maha's thoughts on Christmas as someone who celebrates it and what makes it so special And of course, we had to end with comfort Christmas movies: Eda’s picks: -The Holiday -The Holdovers -The Chronicles of Narnia -The Muppet Christmas Carol -How the Grinch Stole Christmas Maha’s picks: -While You Were Sleeping -Home Alone -Miracle on 34th Street -Mickey’s Christmas Carol -The Chronicles of Narnia Cozy chats, light dizi spoilers, and lots of inspiration for what to watch next. 🎧 Find out more at https://dizi-friends-podcast.pinecast.co
