Hey Watchers fam, quick note! No new episode today. We foolishly thought we’d somehow find enough hours in September to stay on track, but that was obviously hubris on our part. We’ll be back in your feed next week with Silence of the Lambs, a full e... more

  • More soundboard!

    I’ve been going through the archives, and I have to say that episode 47, in which you discuss the “Doomcoming” episode, features some of the best soundboard work I’ve ever heard. I want to know that Andrea receives the credit she is due for these tasteful, yet bombastic choices. I have a fever, and the only cure is more soundboard!

  • OK but hear me out

    Dear Andrea and Jodie,

    I know that y’all are very busy molding young minds and creating amazing art. But like, what if you also did a Six Feet Under podcast? I think you would bring such incredible insight to this show. Thanks!

  • New Fave YJ Pod!

    Needed another podcast to listen to after YJ season 3 aired. Love hearing both of your thoughts, whether they back my own theories or you mention ideas I hadn’t thought of! My one complaint is that I just listened to the rewatch of But I’m a Cheerleader and can’t believe you didn’t mention Rufio! Dolph may have been a small part of the movie, but as two people who grew up in the 90s, how did you ignore Dante Basco completely?! Did neither of you watch Hook? Still love the pod!

  • Alright alright alright

    Just listened to the Dazed & Confused episode. After re-watching this film for the first time in 20 years, I have some thoughts. I was born & raised in a small south Texas town about an hour’s drive from Austin. Born in 1976, graduated HS in 1995. I can confirm that the HS culture felt true to my time in the early 90s. There was no hazing though; I only knew that as something that happened to college frat boys. But the accents! I’m fine if an actor can’t do a southern accent, but Adam Goldberg o... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: A Very Jersey Conversation With Ashley Lyle
Q: Are there aspects of Jersey culture or iconography or places that you wish you could get into the show, but there just is no place for it or hasn't been so far?
There are probably a lot, and making the show in Vancouver sometimes creates challenges in replicating New Jersey's feel.
BONUS: A Very Jersey Conversation With Ashley Lyle
Q: What do you think about more generally ending a season of a show?
It’s important to tie up some loose ends while also leaving the story open for future developments. We approach each season as a chapter that concludes but also leads to new possibilities.
"Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" Watch-Along, Yellowjackets Season 1 Recap
Q: How did you stand the wait for season two?
The wait was hard; I rewatched and evangelized about the show to everyone I knew, but it was still a long gap without great podcasts available.
Pilot Season: The Watchers Watch The X-Files
Q: Were you surprised at how quickly they sort of admit that the government is involved with something?
Not really, because it kind of felt in the beginning like we're coming in sort of mid-stream.
Pilot Season: The Watchers Watch The X-Files
Q: What are your overall impressions of the pilot episode?
I enjoyed it. It is fun, but very 90s. I was pulled out a little bit by the special effects, but I had a good time overall.
