  • Alan didn’t finish episode 3??

    Really like this podcast but Alan is the really the terrible. I’m not sure what he brings.

    Quick comment about the E1 deal discussion. I think the drug people use for situational anxiety is the beta blocker Propranolol not the MJ anesthesia Propofol.

  • Great Listens

    I have enjoyed listening to Victor and his friends & family discussed their recent watch of TV & movies. I found new TV series by following them. The goods & avoiding the bad. I have an explanation for your inquiry on The Bear regarding Ebriham. This is what I think. Mikey left The Beef to his siblings Carmy & Sugar. What got restructured was the new restaurant, The Bear which is a separate entity. So, The Bear is what belongs to Sugar, Uncle Jimmy, Richie & Sydney. They still ran The Be... more

  • Rich perspectives, fun hosts

    This show is a refreshing oasis of rich critical perspective in a barren landscape of star ratings, up and down votes, and tomato percentages. Highly recommend for anyone who likes to talk about tv, story, and character — or listen to other people talk about those things.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

'Cape Fear' Episodes 1 and 2 Review and Recap
Q: So Apple has high expectations. But my question for you, first of all, is Sona, is this a somewhat realistic representation of this social justice movement or the most realistic presentation of this type of organization?
Sona notes that the Innocence Project Gala depicted in the show shares recognizable elements with real-life exoneration groups, including the emotional speeches and urgent crisis moments, but she cautions that the inner workings and politics of such organizations are more nuanced and less glamorous than TV often presents.
'Widow’s Bay' Episode 5 + 'The Boys' Series Finale (with Alan)
Q: What did you think about the Season 5 finale overall?
The hosts acknowledge that endings are hard but felt the finale delivered strong payoffs and emotional closure for many characters, even if some fans found it underwhelming. They compare the level of finish to high-end TV storytelling and note moments of true emotional resonance.
'Euphoria' Season 3 Premiere + What We’ve Been Watching
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the season's shift to a six-episode arc and a new musical direction?
The hosts acknowledge the bold, compact storytelling and the new Western-inspired score, noting that while Labyrinth's absence changes the vibe, the core character dynamics and visual energy remain compelling and worth watching for discussions.
'Paradise' Season 2 1–3, 'Industry' S4E7 'Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Finale Reactions
Q: What will happen to Industry after Season 4?
There is uncertainty about its continuation, though it is implied the series might need to explore new narratives if renewed.
Christopher Nolan Rewatch 2 - 'Memento'
Q: So did you watch the Bad Bunny halftime show?
I kind of have watched it. Yeah.
