Following The Leftovers - 202 – A Matter of Geography

In this podcast, covering HBO’s “The Leftovers” episode 202, “A Matter of Geography”, we get to see what the Garveys were up to while the Murpheys were burning houses down, praying with old people, and running naked through the woods… Discussion points include; is Kevin crazy, why is Kevin Sr. “moving” to Australia, will Nora find safety in Jardin, can Holy Wayne’s baby take the poison out of pie, and is Miracle really Auschwitz? All this plus your thoughts and feedback!

Watching Dead - A Walking Dead Podcast - 601 – First Time Again

The (Real) Walking Dead makes a confident return with episode 601, “First Time Again”. We get sane Morgan, just-the-right-amount-of-crazy Rick, and thousands upon thousands of walkers. What can go wrong? Not much, as it turns out. An experiment with B&W photography could have been yet another failed attempt at artistry beyond their reach turned into a vital grounding technique to keep us in sync with an ever shifting time line, and those shifts did a heroes work plastering over some of the plot holes and inconsistencies of the main plot, while also showing important character shifts in interesting ways. And hey, zombies. Lots and lots of visually interesting, disgusting, soft headed zombies.

American Horror Story Podcast - 501 – Checking In

First off, I apologize for the terrible audio quality of this podcast. As I explain in the intro, I’m doing a remote podcast from Seattle and the results are kind of garbage. Speaking of garbage, that’s kind of my opinion of the first half of the season premiere episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, “Checking In”. Then it starts to do some character and world building in the second half and picks up. We discuss Glampires, my thoughts on a man being sodomized with a chrome plated drill bit, Gaga’s eyebrows, and much more. With a bit of feedback, and a bit of spoilers at the very tail end. Hope you manage to enjoy it despite the crap sound, we’ll be back to normal next week!

Fargo - Season 2 Preview

Breaking Good - 312 – Half Measures

A.Ron and Jim near the end of their re-watch of Breaking Bad season 3, with the thrilling episode “Half Measures”. An incredible episode that has you wondering what’s in store for next week’s installment, which is “Full Measure”. We discuss one of the all time great cold opens in BrBa history, “Wendy”, Marie’s motivational, uh, “techniques”, Mike’s shadowy past, and Walt’s Aztek at it’s most badass and heroic. As next episode will be our last Breaking Bad cast ever, we paused in our coverage to allow you guys to have your say about the series as a whole, or whatever is on your mind. Use the links below to get in touch with us, and we’ll see you back next week to say goodbye to Breaking Bad.

Following The Leftovers - 201 – Axis Mundi

We’ve got our bags backed and we’ve boarded the green park service buses en route to Jarden, Texas, to take in the sights of the season two premiere of “The Leftoves”, “Axis Mundi”. Pre-historic births, John C. Riley camping on a column, the slaughter of goats, bird resurrection, firemen burning down houses, shocking “Perfect Stranger” and “Family Matters” tie ins… this episode met and exceeded our weirdness expectations and left us wanting more. And it wouldn’t be a “The Leftovers” podcast with out some bark at the moon crazy theories and speculation, some from us, some from you the fellow fan. Please, enjoy!

Fear The Watching Dead - 106 – The Good Man

Jim and A.Ron have a lot of thoughts about the final episode and first season of “Fear the Walking Dead” as a whole. Is episode 106, “The Good Man”, in fact, “A Good Episode?” Not really. We delve into the numerous problems of Handsome Soldier, Liza’s choice, hell even Tuxedo Man’s sheer coolness can’t spare him from our savage take on the series. It’s like we unleash 2000 walkers onto the writer’s room of Fear the Walking Dead. The air evac squad comes mid-way through podcast to bail them out, but then sees the mailbag, and nopes out of there. Abandon all hope, ye who listen.
