Kelly & Tom are in high spirits for this temporally complex recap of Downton Abbey S5E4, their favorite of the season so far. Among the many great points of discussion are a feminist reinterpretation of Candyland, shipping BrickG, a Downton/Marx Brothers mash-up, winelexia, missing Jimmy Kent, a cavalcade of terrible impressions, dealing with ghosts, and…
Jim and A.Ron are all caught up on The Americans and are ready for season 3? Are you? Get up to date with the latest theories and speculation courtesy the boys and our loyal listeners as we ponder the question of SpyKids, how the changing geopolitical situation influences how we feel about the show, the…
Well, it’s the season finale of American Horror Story: Freak Show, episode 413, “Curtain Call”, and it’s a hot mess. What started off with so much Twisted promise devolved into a Dandy just never quite got there and too little, too late Chester. In this podcast, we talk our overall thoughts on the season, on the happy Freaks ending, and make predictions for next year. All this, plus a Ima Wiggles sized portion of feedback, and much more.
Justified is back! We are doing it by our lonesome, pissed off, who wants some? You? Okay then! This podcast covers episode 601 entitled “Fate’s Right Hand”, in which the body count already starts rising. We talk about our worries for Raylan, Ava’s hard to read motivations and loyalties, Boyd’s bank deposit box, Dewey’s turtle dog,…
In this episode 209 of Breaking Bad, “4 Days Out”, we find Jesse and Walt stranded in the boonies, undergoing a long dark tea time of the soul. We discuss homemade batteries, this episode as the fulcrum of the entire series, Saul’s lack of bedside manner, Walt’s shattered reflection, and Jr’s epic flipped bird. All this, your feedback, a healthy spoiler section, and much more.
Special thanks to two time Commissioner Andrew Mount for tasking us with the pleasure of watching Watchmen, a 2009 Zack Snyder adaptation of the classic comic book series by Alan Moore. We both love the movie, and talk about our experiences with the comic and the movie, the metaphysical realities of being Doctor Manhattan, the philosophy of the Watchmen’s world view, and of course, giant glowing blue dongs.
Kelly & Tom are simply delighted with the goings-on in Yorkshire and the most romantic city in the world in their recap of Downton Abbey S5E3. They love absolutely everything McG gets up to, wax nostalgic for Series 1, figure out how The Brady Bunch would have gone down in Germany, talk smack about Little…
Cecily and A.Ron muddle through a podcast for episode 412 of American Horror Story: Freak Show entitled “Show Stoppers”. The episode had one hilariously awesome moment between Chester and Maggie, an awkward homage to the classic horror film “Freaks”, and a dumb plot for dumb Jimmy about his dumb hands where he screams and yells a lot. On the positive side, lots of our extremely smart listeners were shot calling and balling their predictions, which is always fun. At the end, we’re left wondering what to expect for the finale next week, “Curtain Calls”? All this, plus a good helping of feedback. See you next week, freaks!
This podcast for 2014’s “The Imitation Game” was commissioned on Subbable by a shadowy MI6 agent who for reasons of operational security, would prefer to remain anonymous. We have seen the film, and we have very mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it is an artistic and emotional triumph, which really helped us empathize with Alan Turing’s life long struggle as a brilliant autistic homosexual man to be accepted and loved as he led the Allied war effort to break the “unbreakable” Nazi Enigma encryption system and save millions of lives. On the other hand, the film takes so many personal and historical liberties with Turing’s very real life and the very real Project Ultra that we don’t know what to believe.
Justified is back, and after two long years, so are we. We talk about the Good, Bad, and the Ugly of season five, and our hopes and fears of season six. Who lives? Who dies? Who rides off into the sunset, happily ever after? Bottom line; Raylan vs Boyd is the matchup we’ve been waiting…
