Silo S3E6-10

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/09/16

Wow, this slow-burn show picked up the pace in the second half of season three, and we’re totally digging it (pun!). Thrilling to see so many questions answered, and new ones raised, and to find out that the final season isn’t too far away — July 9, 2007! Join Jason, Veronica, and Amelie as we get into all the details of the second half of Silo season 3, maybe our favorite segment of this series so far.Mentioned: Silo S4 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yq7dvVINpY Our previous

Lanterns S1E5 "Lights Out"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/09/15

Explosive, destructive episode this week as all the tension that’s been building up in this series finally comes to a head. It really felt like a season finale, didn’t it? Which makes us even more curious to find out what they’ll do with the final three episodes. Lots to talk about for this one though, so join us as we talk it out!Next up on Wax Episodic: Lanterns S1E6 “Bad Optics”. Let us know your thoughts!

Lanterns S1E4 "The Weenie"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/09/09

Compulsory nude figure drawing, a sudden orbital vaporizing laser, and a hi-tech, futuristic slaughterhouse are just a few of the things that made this episode odd as hell, but never dull!

Lanterns S1E3 "OutKast"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/09/01

So great to get some of John’s backstory this week, making it much more clear why his parents set him on this years-long course to become a Green Lantern. A thoughtfully told, thought-provoking tale, and Jim and Kirk are here to talk it out.Next up on Wax Episodic: Lanterns S1E4. Let us know your thoughts!

Lanterns S1E2 "Trust Fall"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/08/25

Things are getting complicated this week, with details about who these aliens are and why they came to Rushville, Nebraska, and questions about what William Macon is up to, why Hal doesn’t want to report to the Guardians, how John can create a little green birdie sidekick, and a ton more. We do our best this ep to lay it all out for you!Mentioned: Check out Kirk’s incredible pop-culture illustrations, everything from the Avengers, to the New York Nicks, to Taylor Swift, and a lot more, all

Lanterns S1E1 "Pilot"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/08/18

Lanterns opens strong with an episode that manages to slip in a ton of expositional Green Lantern lore, an intriguing small town mystery, a bunch colorful characters all pushing against each other’s edges (with some fantastic actors playing them), all while asking some deeper questions about human nature, and even throwing in a few jokes that actually made us laugh. Yeah, we’re in!Next up on Wax Episodic: Lanterns S1E2. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to

Intro to Lanterns

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/08/06

We’re back for another new show! Yes, this show is about members of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic peacekeeping force whose members wear rings that give them powers (and we love that). But there’s a lot more about this series that has us intrigued. Like, why is it also apparently a gritty murder mystery set in rural Nebraska? And what does it mean that HBO, the king of prestige TV, picked it up, with three legendary writers at the helm: Chris Mundy (Ozark), Damon Lindelof (LOST), and Tom

Silo S3E1-5

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/08/04

Surprise! Here’s Jason, Veronica, and Amelie with coverage of the first five episodes of Apple TV’s dystopian sci-fi mystery, Silo! Synopsis: In a dystopian future where a community exists in a giant silo hundreds of stories deep underground, ten thousand people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them. But some wonder if they’ve been lied to about why this silo was created and why they’re there.Our previous Silo coverage: Silo S1E1-6:

Severance S2E10 "Cold Harbor"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/06/27

The season really went out in grand fashion, with Innie and Outie Mark in a fierce argument with one another, a boisterous in-office marching band celebrating Mark’s completion of the Cold Harbor file, and a climactic battle between Drummond, Lorne of Mammalian’s Nurturable, and Mark, among other things. I mean, the unpredictable whimsy of this show is sublime :) And of course Karen and I had a blast talking it out, as always. Enjoy!We sincerely thank all of you who followed along with us for

Severance S2E9 "The After Hours"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/06/19

So much heartbreak in this episode, between Gretchen breaking things off with Innie Dylan, Burt and Irving separating, Mark suffering and frustrated, and we even felt bad for Helena being oppressed by her father and Milchick being humiliated by Drummond (devour feculence, Drummond!). Lots to talk about, and I (Jason) am happy to be joined by my good friend Eric this week, with whom it was a pleasure to podcast. Karen’s on vacay (not in Widow’s Bay) and she’ll be back for the finale!Mentioned:

Severance S2E8 "Sweet Vitriol"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/06/12

Of course as we suspected, viewing this episode through our analytical podcaster’s lens we found a lot to dig into and appreciate about this episode and it’s implications for Harmony Cobel’s character, the series in general, and what it says about the real world. Still wasn’t our favorite though. Next up on Severance: S2E9 “The After Hours”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to waffleparty@podcastica.com.

Severance S2E7 "Chikhai Bardo"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/06/05

What a surprising, beautiful, romantic, tragic, f#$ked up episode this week. We found it especially impactful seeing (and feeling) Mark and Gemma’s relationship and life together come alive onscreen, and then so sad to see it destroyed by Lumon.Next up on Severance: S2E8 “Sweet Vitriol”.

Severance S2E6 "Attila"

Severance S2E5 "Trojan's Horse"

An angsty episode this week as the Innies have a funeral for Irving and wrestle with the complications of recent events, and Milchick suffers the indignity of the dreaded performance review.

Severance S2E4 "Woe's Hollow"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/05/15

Interesting how with just a simple change of scenery, all the weirdness of this show just kind of disappears. Just kidding, MDR’s excursion to the wintery and bleakly beautiful Woe’s Hollow was weird as fuck, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We’re delighted to be joined this episode by Rachel, who’s been granted provisional access to this audio experience. Please enjoy her insights equally.

Severance S2E3 "Who Is Alive?"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/05/08

An odd, lovable episode this week, with a lot of small movement on various fronts. I mean, I suppose you could describe like 75% of all Severance episodes that way…. This one had goats in it, which does narrow it down. Some. Next up on Severance: The season two premiere, S2E4 “Woe’s Hollow”. Let us know your thoughts!

Severance S2E2 "Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/05/01

Is it weird that when we get an episode exclusively set in the outside world that we miss the office? Well, we did find a ton to love about this one too, because this show is always mysterious, funny, beautiful, and thought provoking, among other things.

Severance S2E1 "Hello, Ms. Cobel"

Wax Episodic | Widow"s Bay and Lanterns ·

2026/04/24

A propulsive (and yet regressive?) first episode of the season, bringing up new questions and feeling like things have been frustratingly papered over in that way that only mega-corporations can do. And yet, we can’t wait for more :)Mentioned: Ben Stiller & Adam Scott Break Down 'Severance' Season 2 Opening Scene | Vanity Fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOeFQ2ghR3U Next up on Severance: The season two premiere, S2E2 “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig”.
