S1E16 - Friends: Holiday Armadillo Versus Black...

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/12/17

On Episode 16 of our podcast Alex and Spencer sit down to share some eggnog as they dish out some holiday specials. Alex, knowing Spencer's great dislike of Friends, shoved The One With the Holiday Armadillo down his vision throat. Spencer, as the true Grinch of the show, ruined any fuzzy feel goods by making Alex watch Black Mirror's White Christmas. You may be thinking, "An hour and a half?! Is this a Holiday Miracle?" No, friends. Our editor managed to cut this from over 2 hours to this. Alex

S1E15 - Rerun: Mad Men

2019/12/14

On Episode 15 of our podcast Alex and Spencer rant about one of Spencer's favorite shows. Alex has seen it all the way through once meanwhile Spencer binges it like a pro. Make an old fashioned and tell your secretary you're busy, it's time to chat about Mad Men. The whole of Mad Men. Spoilers are to be assumed and nothing is off limits. Aren't you glad we finally talked about Mad Men so we can get it out of our system? Surely we will never talk about it ever again after this. Surely.Theme Song:

S1E14 - VEEP Versus House of Cards

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/12/01

On Episode 14 of our podcast Alex and Spencer do their best not to talk politics with family over a turkey dinner! Spencer finally watches VEEP which we all knew he would love. Alex finally watches House of Cards but don't worry, we try to not talk about K* S** as much as we can. For once both of the hosts actually enjoyed their show! Buckle up for this hour long episode. Things get about as weird as they ever do.Theme Song: "Astronaut" by The Spin WiresFirst is a No Show Radio production. Mind your

S1E13 - Law & Order Versus Star Trek: The Next...

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/11/15

On Episode 13 of our podcast Alex and Spencer tackle some long ass shows. There was some initial confusion but here's how it throws down: Alex watched Star Trek The Next Generation AND Law & Order SVU while Spencer watched Law & Order. At least Spencer had his poop in a group. Alex utterly butchers this Star Trek episode so prepare your butts for that. Really, the golden child is Spencer. All praise goes to Spencer (but don't tell him we said that).Theme Song: "Astronaut" by The Spin

S1E12 - Hemlock Grove Versus Scream Queens

2019/10/31

On Episode 12 of our podcast Alex and Spencer get sick on Halloween candy. Alex twists Spencer's arm into watching Scream Queens while Spencer force feeds Alex...well. Nothing. She had to pick her own show. Some people can't handle the thrill of spooky scary things and that's ok! Hemlock Grove has been on Alex's hit parade for a while so it worked out. PST ALEX TRIES TO SELL YOU ON AN NSR PATREON THAT DOESNT EXIST YET. WHOOPS. ALL OF OUR FIRST EXTRA AUDIO IS STILL LOCATED ON THE SOULSTORY PATREON

S1E11 - Record of Lodoss War Versus Death Parade

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/10/05

On Episode 11 of our podcast Alex and Spencer thought 'Wow, we really know nothing about anime. Let's talk about it again!' Alex suggests the most on brand anime of all time to Spencer- The Record of Lodoss War(1998). Spencer recommended the edgiest show yet- Death Parade (2015). Because they know so little, they actually don't talk too long! Weird. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they double recorded that day. Stick through the end to hear the spoiler of what they talk about in

S1E10 - Once Upon a Time Versus The Good Place

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/09/20

On Episode 10 of our podcast where we travel fantastical lands through media, Alex and Spencer take on two very different shows. Do you remember that late night soap opera with the fairy tale creatures, Once Upon a Time (2011)? Yeah not a lot of folks do. Good thing we brought in something super topical like The Good Place (2016)! IMPORTANT UPDATE: ALEX HAS SINCE SEEN ALL THE GOOD PLACE AND HER OPINION IS NOW VASTLY DIFFERENT. PAST ALEX WAS A FOOL.

S1E9 - Dharma and Greg Versus Frasier

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/09/06

On Episode 9 of our podcast where we thought about wearing a tank top over a tshirt, Alex and Spencer tackle TV shows they definitely should not have watched as kids! Alex, as one of those kids raised on 90 sitcoms, has to convince Spencer Dharma and Greg (1997) is a wholesome treasure. Spencer picks on Alex on accident when he made her watch Frasier (1993). The Frasier watch probably would have been more enjoyable if Alex had literally seen any episode of Cheers before. Grab that TV dinner and join

S1E8 - Clueless Versus Community Repilot

2019/08/23

On Episode 8 of our podcast which we definitely recorded after the high of buying new school supplies, Alex and Spencer watching some shows about education! Alex has fond memories of the movie Clueless but has 0 context for the TV show Clueless (1996). Boy aren't we glad she made Spencer watch it when she can't even remember Alicia Silverstone isn't even in the TV show. Spencer has pushed and pushed and pushed for Alex to give season 5 of Community (2009) a rewatch. Turns out, she eats foot because

S1E7 - My Hero Academia Versus Lucky Star

2019/08/09

On Episode 7 of our podcast where we challenge the most dedicated of fans, Alex and Spencer tackle some anime shows. WARNING: Alex usually only watches shows her Thunder Buddy tells her will make her cry. Spencer is a total anime nerd but plays it cool. They know very little and have stronger opinions than normal. Tackling the giant of My Hero Academia (2016) is far more productive way to spend your time than by watching Lucky Star (2007). Want to know why? Stop reading the show notes silly and

On Episode 6 of our podcast of which we have broken the intended format for the third week straight, Alex and Spencer treat themselves to a Self Pick week. Sometimes there is a show you've been meaning to watch and you just need a little help from your friends to get there. Alex picked cult classic Orphan Black (2013) while Spencer picked Californication (2007). The fun part is, neither of them have seen the show the other picked. It's new for everybody!

S1E5 - Rerun: Arrested Development

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/07/12

On Episode 4 of our podcast where we are reminded there is always money in the banana stand, Alex and Spencer take a look back at Arrested Development! It originated as an attempt to talk about the show as a whole but they get caught up in complaining about season 5. Spoiler: It's not great. Alex has a TED talk about why the show is 2000s era Americana and Spencer wishes it had died a quiet death. Theme Song: "Astronaut" by The Spin WiresFirst is a No Show Radio production.

S1E4 - The Hosts versus Swamp Thing

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/06/29

On Episode 4 of our podcast that we definitely don't use as our metaphorical clever glasses disguise, Alex and Spencer really enjoy but also really destroy Swamp Thing (2019). Swamp Thing is available on the DCUniverse streaming service and boy do they have thoughts on streaming services. And on DC shows. And on how the heck Swamp Thing got his own show. Our hosts get a little excited covering the lore, discussing color theory, and origin stories that our usual semi rigid format is lacking. Let's go

2019/06/07

On Episode 3 of our podcast where we like to act smart, Alex and Spencer pick apart two dramas covering the deaths of innocents. In case you weren't on tumblr in the mid-2010s, Manhattan (2014) covers the Manhattan project and Hannibal (2013) is a serial killer who sorta got his own show. Alex had to do research literally anything about the Project so she could sound smart on air while giving her approval. Spencer prefers his dramas to be about cops rather than criminals. What a nerd.

S1E2 - The Mick Versus A.P Bio

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2019/05/24

On Episode 2 of our podcast where we are a couple of assholes, Alex and Spencer decided to pick shows about assholes. Recently added, and recently canceled, The Mick (2017) and A.P Bio (2018) feature our favorite actors from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Spencer, not always a fan of Dee Reynolds, enjoyed The Mick so much he binged the entire first season before we had a chance to talk! Cheeky. Alex, a big fan of Dennis Reynolds, can't stand A.P. Bio and fails to understand how it isn't canceled

2019/05/10

On our pilot episode of our podcast where we trash on pilot episodes, Alex and Spencer decided to go big instead of going home. Right out of the gate the dorky duo put Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) in their sights. Alex, having only recently completed her first watch through, twisted Spencer to catch up with modern times. For the record, it's pronounced Hells-mouth not Hell-smith.Spencer contributed Reaper (2007) as his monster of the week pick. Despite him being a wee babe he had seen this cult
