Kelly & Tom are joined by returning guest and loyal Cousin Lauren Parker to join in eviscerating the cinematic snooze button that is Suffragette. Apart from the fact that there are zero characters of color and the protagonist is a “composite character,” there’s plenty to chuckle about, including the story of how Brendan Gleeson’s beard…
Happy Friday the 13th / Double White Russian day! A.Ron and Cecily are here to talk about the latest episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, “Room 33”. We were treated to a delightful if non-sequitur love affair between Liz and Tristan, more Alex being Alex, John being John, Gaga kind of being awful, Iris being a weapons akimbo badass, and poor Scarlet once again being the neglected afterthought. Oh, and Gaga has a baby glampire, which isn’t as glamorous as one would think. All this plus a bit of the ol’ mailbag, and we’ll see you back next week to hopefully figure out who the police have wrongfully connected to the TCK murders!
Fargo episode 205, “Gift of the Magi”, was a real deal… Both sides of the Gerhardt and KC war take grievous losses, tensions between Bear and Dodd threaten to boil over, Hanzee’s loyalties are tested, Peggy has an apparent change of heart, but alas, it’s too late; Ed has killed another fella, maybe two! We discuss all the happenings and theories going down this episode, with assists from our fellow fans.
A.Ron and Jim have another insanely great experience in the insane world of “The Leftovers”, this one revolving around episode 206, “Lens”. We discuss the intense stare down between Nora and Erica, rocks thrown in glass houses, the mysteries that were revealed even as new ones are raised, subtle hints about the fate of the girls as revealed by the SDS’s questionnaire, a bunch of religious theories, Kevin’s confession, and much more, plus, tons of really great takes and feedback from our fellow fans. Also, we— wait, is that an eyelash on your cheek?
Jim and A.Ron are divided about their opinions on episode 605 of The Walking Dead, “Now”. One host thinks it was a basically good episode with a few peculiar TWD tics dragging the overall goodness down, while the other disliked the majority of the episode despite it having a few bright parts. Which host had which opinion may surprise you…
Jim and A.Ron have some off the cuff thoughts and observations, an “Instant Take”, if you will, of episode 605 of The Walking Dead, “Now”. From manic city planning of hope, to entitled pantry raiding of despair, we have all of the emotional and factual angles covered as deep as one watch and 15 minutes will get us. We’ll be back Tuesday with our full coverage cast with loads more and tons of feedback. See you then!

A.Ron and Cecily dive into the latest episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, “Room Service”, in which we get a lot of terrible Alex, a sermon on the dangers of not vaccinating our children, some fabulous Liz Taylor Russell Edgington, and what is perhaps the finest comeuppance in television history when Iris finally snaps on some loathsome human garbage. Plus, John discovers reporting a campy Halloween cult is the quickest way to get fired as LAPD, and there’s a pack of pre-teen glampires prowling the streets of LA. That can’t be good. All this, your feedback, and plenty of host on host snark.
Jim and A.Ron watched some fun television this week that they want to talk about! First up is the horror / comedy on Starz Network, “Ash vs Evil Dead”. Does Bruce Campbell’s shtick hold up all these years later? Second, the amazingly funny Cartoon Network Adult Swim sci-fi comedy, “Rick and Morty”, co-created by Dan Harmon and the Earl of Lemongrab.
Jim and A.Ron are pleasantly surprised at the pacing of Fargo season 2; while there might have been some cheats here and there and along the way, we’ve got the anticipated Kansas City / Fargo war declared just four episodes into the season, with “Fear and Trembling”. We also discuss revelations about Dodd’s character, Ed and Peggy’s relationship in contrast to Lou and Betsy’s, Nick Offerman’s plumbing stressing performance of Carl Weathers, Hanzee’s bizarre encounter with a UFO, more fake Reagan movies, and a smattering of feedback.
