A.Ron ranks his top five TV shows based on first seasons. Medievalist Jana Matthews talks about Bran and zoological symbolism. Steve and Anthony talk about Hot Pie, debate pineapple on pizza, and (gross!) spiders. Jan Doolittle Willson and I talk about Dany’s outcome in the show.
80s movies don’t get much more classic than this! Join us for The Breakfast Club, the genre-defining teenage drama from John Hughes. We talk about the pressures of being a teenager, how the movie explores those pressures, our own teenage years, and whether this movie holds up in 2021.
The Walking Dead puts one of its most annoying characters ever on the screen this week as a target so juicy, Negan’s unable to restrain himself. We also find out what’s been eating Ezekiel and Aaron tries to make in-roads with the skin freaks. What could possibly go wrong?
Another year of charity marathons is in the books and it was certainly worthy. This year we raised $17047.74 for the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund and had a ton of fun doing it. Join us as we recap the event and for a special wrapup interview with Connor from the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund discussing their work as well as the damage that Alzheimer’s does and preventative measures you can take to reduce your likelihood of developing it.

This week we conclude the first season of WandaVision which we were seemingly less disappointed in than the rest of the internet. Then we discuss the first episode of a Hulu / FX show called “Mr Inbetween” that was suggested by one of our Executive Producers over on our Patreon. Finally, we talk about the first three episodes of “For All Mankind” now that A.Ron has begun watching it.
I scream. You scream, We all scream an ice scream! Join us for the podcast as we have a little fun at the expense of Siddiq in an otherwise pretty solid episode that features Negan protecting Lydia and getting blamed for murder, Michonne being run ragged by the crafty Whisperers, Ezekiel trying to remove his mask, and someone (probably Carol) spreading propaganda, Banksy-style.
I didn’t know much about “The Troubles” in Ireland going into this movie and, to be honest, I don’t feel like I know any more coming out of it. History lessons aside, The Boxer includes some excellent performances from the entire cast in a movie that is more of a meditation on borrowed resentment than a traditional boxing story.
