This is the one we’ve been waiting for. Carol sends Negan on a spirit quest to come to terms with all the things he’s done is his past, from the horrific to the just plain cowardly. Was it worth the wait? Join us for the podcast to find out what we thought.
Jan Wilson and Anthony cover the bloodiest chapter yet and dive deep into Tyrion’s “inner-asshole.” Steve is flabbergasted at the death of Joffrey. Anthony talks about Tyrion’s suicidal ideations and compares him with Jonah.
This week, we’ve got my absolute favorite Paul Giamatti movie, Sideways. It’s a well-written but also hilarious movie where an extremely depressed Paul Giamatti begrudgingly helps his college roommate philander his way through northern California wine country. It has some all-time classic Giamatti moments that we can’t wait to talk about. Get Sideways with us this on this podcast.
Here’s the continuity you’ve been looking for. We finally deal with the tragedy of Rick’s artificially preserved best friend, Birdperson in an episode loosely based on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Check out the podcast to hear us hypothesize about the canon implications of this episode, among other things, and join us back here during the week of September 5th for the back-to-back airing of the final two season 5 episodes.
Our dream of seeing AMC make an hour-long episode of “Cooking with Carol” finally comes true this week on TWD S10E21: “Diverged”. Seriously, Carol makes soup for AN ENTIRE HOUR and the episode is… well, about as good as our Cooking with Carol Skit. A big thank you to Mysteriana for creating the Watching Dead…

Lunchtime! This week A.Ron debates the entire world about whether he should add a fourth monitor to his streaming setup, we talk about Disney’s plans for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, give our advice on sock fashion in your 30s, and answer a bunch of other viewer questions.
What a difference a word, and one excellent writer / director, makes! The Suicide Squad is a complete 360 from the steaming pile of garbage that was Suicide Squad. It’s fun, action-packed, ultra-violent and everything we would hope to see from the evolution of subversive superhero movies.
Chad and Anthony argue over the (first) Clegane Bowl. Steve hates the new Daario actor. Anthony talks about a medieval king who was deposed from his throne for obesity.
Forrest Gump is an artifact of a more innocent age; a time before Tom Hanks learned to make fire. Before Robin Wright made binge-watching a lifestyle. Before Hollywood acknowledged that Pulp Fiction had changed the way audiences engaged with movies. Join us for the podcast to take a trip back in time and find out if this Academy darling still holds up.

This week we talk about the first 2 episodes of Ted Lasso’s latest season, the first Foundation novel and a bit about our hopes / expectations for the Apple TV+ series, Schmigadoon!, The Pacific, Zola, and Shadow and Bone. Plus, we answer questions from our Patreon “Executive Producers” about our plans for future coverage and whether we think great long-form stories on TV are killing shorter-form stories in movies.
