Watching Dead - A Walking Dead Podcast - 614 – Twice As Far

The Walking Dead episode 614, “Twice As Far” takes a few strange character turns, before it jumps tracks and barrels out of control straight into Awesomeville Station. We discuss questionable decisions made while babysitting the town’s medic, Eugene’s admirable wearing of proper pants and brilliant strategy for Alexandria’s defense and trade, Carol tragically falling victim to “Morgalizing”, the shocking return of Daryl’s crossbow, and the bite heard ’round the world. All this, plus tons of feedback and our spoiler section for all your prognosticating needs. See you next week!

What's Cooking in Hell's Kitchen - 202 – Dogs to a Gunfight

Episode 202 of Netflix’s “Daredevil” keeps the pedal to the metal as we get yet another titanic Punisher vs. Daredevil sequence, this time featuring a greatly weakened and perhaps fool hearty Matt, who still hasn’t recovered from the damage inflicted from the previous battle. To add to his troubles, his friends are justifiably worried for his life, his armorer seems to be balky about keeping his suit in fighting trim, and his client is being shafted by a shifty D.A. Still, the two rivals are learning a great deal about each other, which can’t be good… can it?

What's Cooking in Hell's Kitchen - 201 – Bang

Daredevil season two has started! We’ll be watching and reviewing a new episode every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from here on out until we’ve finished the whole thing. As we rejoin our heroes in episode 201, “Bang”, local gangs have been jockeying to occupy the power vacuum left by the Kingpin’s exit last season, and Matt might have new competition in the “get tough on crime” game.

House of Cards - 413 – Chapter 52

We wrap up our coverage of House of Cards season four today with a deep dive on the stunning finale, “Chapter 52”. All out war has been declared, as it feels like 7 shoes have dropped on the Underwoods, and we’re waiting for the other 3. We discuss foreign policy, the touching love story of lizard man and liver woman, Presidential gaming, and FBI goon squads. Then we discuss our overall thoughts on season four, look ahead to season five, and cover the final thoughts from our listeners. Thanks for coming along with us, we had a great time, enjoyed all of the discussion, and greatly appreciate your support.

Better Cast Saul - 205 – Rebecca

Welcome to our coverage of Better Call Saul’s episode 205, “Rebecca”, in which we find some new revelations about Chuck and Jimmy’s past, as well as some very dangerous future entanglements for Mike. We come at the episode with two distinct POV’s; Jim is pro-Chuck, while I’m broadly anti-Chuck, and as a result, we have very different interpretations for a lot of the character conflicts in this episode. Which side do you come down on? Who is right, who is wrong, or are the answers going to be more shades of grey?

House of Cards - 410, 411, 412 – Chapters 49-51

We’re nearing the home stretch. Just one episode left to cover after this, and then the season re-cap. But there is plenty of machinations left to unravel. Frank uses national security, the death of a mother-in-law, and the inexperience and ambition of his political rival for his own gain, aided and abetted by his right hand woman, Claire. Can frank defeat both political parties, a skilled and savvy reporter with a lot of axe to grind, as well as the terrorist organization ICO in just one more hour of television? We’ll find ou

Watching Dead - A Walking Dead Podcast - 613 – The Same Boat

It’s fair to say that neither Jim nor A.Ron was under or overwhelmed by this episode, number 613, “The Same Boat”. Thus properly whelmed, we discuss the themes of the episode, including Carol’s sudden (?) change of heart with regards to her ruthlessness and apparent callous disregard for life, Maggie’s maternal nature, how we feel about the Saviors now that we’ve seen a slightly softer side, and Carol and Maggie’s innovating combination of slaughterhouse and barbecue. All this, tons of feedback, and a healthy spoiler section at the very end of the episode await your listening pleasure.

And so Downton Abbey ends, not with a bang, but with a Denker. Kelly & Tom recap S6E9 in slightly more emotional fashion than usual, but they still manage to pitch the spinoff “McG: Hospital Administrator,” wonder why Matthew Goode didn’t just take a job as Downton’s butler, hope that the eventual Downton movie is…
