It’s the feedback episode for S11E03 “Hunted”. Time for our audience to help us rip and tear the flesh from this episode and see if there’s anything left at the end.
Brokeback Mountain is a movie that received a lot of attention, both from critics and the media, when it came out in 2005. That was likely just due just as much to it being a movie about two men in love that treated it like any other star-crossed relationship as it was the incredible performances of everyone involved, but specifically the lead actors. Join us for a discussion of this Oscar-winning film.
I think it’s safe to say, based on the tone of the discussion, this is the episode everyone has been waiting for. CONTINUITY BABY! I suppose it could have been disappointing if you were holding out hope for a live-action episode starring Xtopher Lloyd, but it answers a lot of questions that we’ve had for seasons now and sets up some truly interesting possibilities for the future of Rick and Morty. Check out the podcast to hear us discuss them.
This is definitely the first part of a two-part season finale, but it sneaks up on you thanks to a pretty engaging plot involving Rick replacing Morty with a couple of crows. Personally, I think I’d rather have seen the “Half a Paul Giamatti” episode, but I enjoyed this one nonetheless. Check out the podcast to hear our thoughts.
The Walking Dead fares a little better this week as everybody runs from the reapers and we get a small morsel of horse hope.
Thanks to Brian, we’ve got another commission this week. It’s the first and last episodes of Invincible season 1. You might not expect a bookended sampling of a series to work very well, but aside from not knowing a few of the side characters, I apparently missed out on almost nothing by skipping the other 6 episodes. Join us for a discussion of this animated deconstruction of the superhero genre.
Lunchtime! This week I give a big update on the sale of our house and the hunt for a new place to live, and A.Ron talks about his new current favorite game, Wingspan. Then we answer a bunch of listener questions.
Oxford Medievalist Carolyne Larrington is back to cover Cat’s arrival at the Eyrie. Steve updates his power rankings for who will sit the Iron Throne. And Dr. Gregory Webster suggests that Sweet Robin has supernatural psychic ability.
Now that you’ve heard what we have to say, join us for what you have to say in the feedback episode for Acheron Part 2.
