  • All good EXCEPT Audio clipping a bit annoying

    I really like their discussion of the Foundation series – that’s what I’m particularly listening to here. But the audio clipping on I’m hearing on this show is distracting and frustrating. It’s throughout the entire show. I listen to lots of different podcast shows via the Apple app and do not hear it on of those.

  • First Time Listener

    Was looking for a show that covers Alien Earth and came across AE Season 1 Episode 1. Great job! Normally not a fan of episodes over an hour BUT you had me at the nerd-out analysis. Can’t wait to keep going with episode 2.

  • Excellent work

    Banger episode about a banger episode of tv ! I am talking about Alien: Earth ep 5 , but the whole coverage so far was chef’s kiss !

    As were The Lorehounds ‘ coverage of all the great tv we got to experience this year . Year end rankings will be very difficult. Listen to this podcast to help make up your mind or to just enjoy revisiting some amazing storytelling.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alien: Earth - S01E08 - The Real Monsters
Q: Ayesha, what did you think of the episode overall?
I thought the series finale did a great job with the themes of power and morality, but it felt a bit rushed in places due to compression of storylines.
Peacemaker - S02E01 - The Ties That Grind - DCUniverse
Q: What did you think about the new song for the opening number?
I thought it felt very Broadway and well done.
Alien: Earth - S01E02 - Mr. October
Q: What do you think of Boy K's attitude about being bored?
Elysia criticized Boy K for being arrogant and ignoring the ideas presented to him, indicating he lacks true intelligence and wisdom.
The Eternaut S1 - Oneshot
Q: Were you a Better Call Saul fan?
Yes, I loved it.
Going Dredd - Interview w/Tansy Gardam
Q: Can you sort of outline your central premise or your thesis, so to speak, of this episode and what it is that you were driving at with tackling this topic?
So Dredd, for those who don't know, is a 2012 film. It was broadly independent. It was funded by a lot of different pre-sales. It was a British production. And it has kind of fallen into legend as the directorial debut of Alex Garland, who went on to do Ex Machina.
