This week we talk about Halt and Catch Fire, Orange is the New Black, Veep, True Blood, Silicon Valley, Derek, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Special thanks to listener Joel Warner who commissioned this podcast through our Subbable subscription system! This time A.Ron and Jim view the mid-season rock opera, “The Doomstar Requiem”. We found it a lot harder to enjoy the Klok’s metal fueled concert ways in a single concentrated, extra length dose, despite admiring the concept and execution. We wish there were less slurpies, herpes, and brotherly love, and more senseless death, property destruction, and blatant disregard for fellow human beings.
Special thanks to listener Joel Warner who commissioned this podcast through our Subbable subscription system! Jim and A.Ron check out a curated list of episodes provided by Joel, loosely following the metal-face assassin plotlines, and find themselves charmed by the series graphic, over the top violence, and sophisticated, high concept comedy-torture. Episodes that we watched are as follows:
By popular demand, Jim and A.Ron talk about their thoughts on season one of HBO’s True Detective. We talk yellow kings, perverted Barbie poses, get philosophical about nihilism, and where we see Rust and Marty going after the credits roll. We also talk about season two, and our plans for True Detective going forward.
Justified’s season finale was so good we had to come out of mothballs to praise it. Seriously, season four of Justified was incredibly satisfying, held it’s own against the iconic season two, and in my opinion, has moved into the same neighborhood as Mad Men and Breaking Bad. So there’s that, and we solicit your opinion on what we should do with our TV show next!
