Special thanks to listener Joel Warner who commissioned this podcast through our Subbable subscription system! Jim and A.Ron check out a curated list of episodes provided by Joel, loosely following the metal-face assassin plotlines, and find themselves charmed by the series graphic, over the top violence, and sophisticated, high concept comedy-torture. Episodes that we watched are as follows:
A.Ron and Jim discuss Jack’s menacing wiggle, financial support of terrorism, the real life intersection of drone policy and 24’s universe, and ponder what it would take for the President of the United States to get some savage Parliamentary action.
Jim and A.Ron are not ready for Mad Men to go away for a year, and it’s a bittersweet cast covering episode 707, “Waterloo”. We discuss the future of the agency, how much we care, Sally’s outlook on love and how Don and Betty have shaped it, Harry being a day late and a dollar…
That was an episode of Mad Men. So many epoch shaking events packed into a mid-season finale, you have to wonder what kind of ammo Weiner has in his can for next season. Did you like it? Are you pumped for next season? What do you make of the bizarre closing minutes? Jim and A.Ron…
A.Ron and Jim break down the action, and the lack of progression of plot, for the latest episode of 24: Live Another Day. We talk about Marine pants protocol, secure data center/laundry services, and 24’s evolving views on the use of torture.
Welcome to our coverage of Game of Thrones episode 407, “Mockingbird!” We talk about creepy uncle Petyr, our semi-disappointment in The Mountain 3.0, and the Most Interesting Man in Westeros. All this, plus your feedback, and our patent-pending spoiler section!
A.Ron and Jim talk about the instant classic Mad Men episode, number 706, “The Strategy”. We discuss Lou’s goddamn Tiki bar, again, and its evil idol, Bob’s arrangement, what’s really going on with Buick, and our growing disdain for Cutler. All this, plus your great feedback! If you want to give us a shout out,…
Instant take for Game of Thrones episode 407, “Mockingbird”! Our full recap and discussion will be out Tuesday, read below if you’d like to send us a raven with your thoughts!
Welcome to our coverage of Fargo episode 105, “The Six Ungraspables!” This week we have a special guest host, resident Fargophile Eric Wahlquist of Personal Arrogants infamy! We talk about Lorne as an unstoppable evil / hairy goat demon / angel of death, the death of the psychosomatic wound theory with a possible rebirth, the possibly grim meaning of Gus’s last name, and is Bill a dirty small town cop, or just really that thick? All this, plus a light dusting of feedback, in a extra-sized half-assed cast!
24: Live Another Day has gone into Insanity Wolf mode and it’s only the third hour. Kate’s kidnapping British Nationals, Jack’s kneecapping them, and I’m pretty sure I just saw President Heller shit himself in front of Parliament. Meanwhile Catlyn Stark has stolen a weapon platform capable of unleashing 60 hellfire missiles on the populace of London… if only her son can find a motherboard with a VESA Local Bus slot on it. We discuss all this and more!
