With A.Ron on vacation, I’m joined by Mad Brew to discuss this week’s episode of Justified.
With A.Ron on vacation, I’m joined by Mad Brew to discuss this week’s episode of Justified.
A.Ron’s on vacation, so that means a no frills, all cast update. This week we discuss the penultimate season 2 episode, “Better Angels”. Fan reaction was very mixed, and frankly, we’ve seen better TWD, but the plot’s going where it needs to go, and that’s not a bad thing. Tune in for our thoughts and…
Kelly and Tom come roaring out of hiatus for Downton Abbey S2:E1 to introduce a very saucy replacement ginger, explore Kelly’s canine obsession, plant a flag for the new nation of Batesylvania, proclaim that nail-filing is the new smoking, expose Tom’s crush on silent film star Clara Bow, unexpectedly root for O’Brien, do lots of…
Who’s in more trouble? Raylan, Boyd, or Quarles? We break down this and more in this week’s episode covering another awesome hour of Justified. Join Jim and A.Ron as they discuss Limehouse making power plays, Raylan’s legal trouble, Quarles’ being tempted by the Beast within, Raylan putting on a clinic for how not to handle the police, and ask; does Wynn’s carpet match the drapes?!
The one thing you can’t say about this week’s episode 211, “Judge, Jury, Executioner” is that nothing happens. Camp Herschel is rocked, and Jim and A.Ron are liking how things are going down on the farm as we enter the home stretch of season 2.5 of The Walking Dead. We discuss Daryl’s Sayid homage, proper…
Things on Justified are heating up faster than a hand soaked in lye and hit with a steam jet! Join Jim and A.Ron for a discussion of problems in the round barn, the importance of keeping drugs away from schools, the suddenly complicated political situation in Harlan’s Sheriff elections, Raylan’s new digs, Tim not being impressed with Raylan’s “mad ninja skills”, Quarles wheeling and dealing, and the dramatic return of Gary! We cap it off with a brief spoiler section in which we consider the preview for next week’s episode in order to glean any insights that may be had and some info about casting news.
Jim and A.Ron are conflicted this episode. There are parts of our favorite AMC zombie-based dramedy that are brilliant, and parts that almost gave us brain aneurysms. Find out which are which as we discuss zombie waterfalls, Andrea Kavorkian, Rick being silent but deadly, Lori extolling the benefits of being pregnant and in the kitchen,…
This recap of Downton Abbey S1:E7 is supersized, so don’t feel obligated to listen to it in one sitting. Sam Roth of “Rigged Up” joins Kelly and Tom to brainstorm countless Downton spinoffs, dispute Mrs. Hughes’ made-up vocabulary, implement the Schlieffenplan, wonder whether Mary is older than Battlestar Galactica, critique the experimental film hidden in…
In case you missed it, be sure to check out our interview with Justified writer/producer Taylor Elmore that we released earlier tonight. After that, join us for a discussion of Quarles’ hobbies, Raylan having a bad day, what’s up with Winona, Limehouse’s rebellion, and Arlo’s possible senility. Then in the feedback section we hear from our fans, including another informative dispatch from our embedded Kentucky reporter, Ted. We cap it off with a brief spoiler section in which we consider the preview for next week’s episode in order to glean any insights that may be had.
Thanks to listener Ed K, we were put in touch with Writer/Producer for FX’s Justified, Taylor Elmore. Mr. Elmore was kind enough to give us about an hour of his time for a wide ranging interview that touches on his history with the show, the process for creating Justified, his thoughts and opinions on the plot, writing, and production of the show, and a few tidbits about up coming plot points for the second half of season three!
Special thanks goes out to our listeners who contributed some of the questions; Sandy, Michael G, Lucas, Daniel M, and redditors TheGreatNinjaYuffie, sniffles_snort, and notonekind. It was fun, we’ll have to do it again, sometime, maybe as a season three wrap up?
