Cecily and A.Ron dissect the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story: 1984, “Slashdance”. Who is a friend? Who is an enemy? Nobody knows, but we are taking on all theories! We talk about Nurse Rita surprising history, Ray’s incredibly bad decision making, and interdimensional time-looping pumpkin-head ghost riders. This night just keeps on giving.
We are halfway through the final season of The Deuce, and there is a lot to discuss. A.Ron has two prophecies come true in one episode! Lori is back in New York, and battling her insecurities. Abby recruits Candi to speak with Women Against Pornography; and it’s a tough crowd. Jim and A.Ron don’t have…
Cecily and A.Ron dissect the latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story: 1984, “Mr. Jingles”. We discuss all hyper hiker ghostly and/or time traveling theories, Brooke’s very bad day, the finer points of hog washing, and question how we can possibly endure the world’s longest night. Then in the mailbag, a listener blows our minds with evidence of just how long this night may last.

It’s almost time for Damon Lindelof’s new show, Watchmen, to premiere. We couldn’t be more excited so we’ve decided to record a preview episode to kick things off a little early.
Get ready. We’re just a few weeks away!
Cecily and A.Ron dish on the premiere episode of FX’s American Horror Story: 1984, “Camp Redwood”. It’s a great looking episode where the cast is having a lot of fun, and there are 1980’s horror tropes aplenty, but that fun comes at the expense of , well… the Horror. Still, fun counts a lot for us, so we’re all in.
The Deuce is under a lot of pressure in “Morta di Fame”, as disease, drugs, greedy gangsters and corrupt politicians all angle to take a bite out of its inhabitants. It’s hard to see how established players like Rudy, Vincent, and Paul are going to make it out okay, but there is a glimmer of hope that Frankie just might be able to survive by being to small time to worry about. Meanwhile on the West coast Lori is waking up to the fact that she’s traded a pimp named Cici for one named Kiki. Grim proceedings all around, lightened only by Bobby’s hair piece and Frankie’s fledgling paper bag porn empire. Plus, we get educated on all things Greenwich in the feedback section!
HBO’s The Deuce is back! We rejoin our mixed crew of hustlers on the Eve of 1985. The strip itself seems a bit less bright, and a good deal more dangerous, even as powerful big-money interests have high-class aspirations for the neighborhood. This premiere is a marvel of efficient storytelling and character re-introductions, introducing various threats to the community; wolfpacks, AIDS, home video recording, that will be impacting the lives and livelihoods of The Deuce denizens for the rest of the series.
