Watson (S02E08)

Today"s Episode ·

2025/12/05

“Livvy Sees the Doctor” is the eighth installment of Watson’s 20-episode second season. It’s written into the contract of every hospital drama that there must be a hostage episode, and this was theirs. On the podcast, we discuss Fitz, a troubled vet whose daughter has been bounced from misdiagnosis to mystery illness for months on end. Not anymore. Strapped into a handmade explosive suit with a dead-man’s trigger, Fitz is demanding answers. Between twists, wild medical leaps, neck stabs, and...

The Artist (PILOT)

Today"s Episode ·

2025/12/01

There’s a new streaming service out called The Network, and it just dropped a new series, The Artist. Set in 1906 Rhode Island, the show follows Norman and Marian Henry (Mandy Patinkin and Janet McTeer), a powerful but couple in a rocky marriage whose estate becomes ground zero for a murder mystery. Part upstairs/downstairs drama and part absurd comedy, it brings a modern, loosely improvised energy to period TV in a way that sits somewhere between The Great and Dickinson. The ensemble include...

We’re covering Death by Lightning, Netflix’s four-episode retelling of President James Garfield’s assassination. Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen tackle Garfield and the man hanged for killing him, Charles Guiteau. The series mixes political drama, medical tragedy, and historical recreation.

Robin Hood (S01E01-02)

Today"s Episode ·

2025/11/07

We cover Robin Hood on MGM+, the gritty new take on the legendary outlaw that trades green tights for darker realism. Set in 1186, before King Richard’s crusades, it stars Sean Bean as a morally murky Sheriff of Nottingham and newcomer Max Woolf as Rob of Loxley, whose father’s execution sparks a familiar rebellion. We talk through the first two episodes (“I See Him” and “A Heinous Devil”), from fairy lore and CGI stags to English politics, over-ripe dialogue, and the long wait Rob's journey ...

It: Welcome to Derry (PILOT)

Today"s Episode ·

2025/10/31

BOO! It is back. Well… not Pennywise, not yet. But if the first and last ten minutes of this new Stephen King prequel series teach us anything, it’s that you don’t need Bill Skarsgård to show Derry, Maine as a full-blown nexus of evil. Kids should probably skip this one, but fans of horror should not. On the podcast, we break down the 53-minute pilot: plot points, expectations, standout moments, comparisons, reception, and the weird trivia we picked up along the way. I’ll say right off the ba...

Lazarus (PILOT)

Today"s Episode ·

2025/10/27

The title that just won’t die, go figure. This version of Lazarus stars Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin, and although it’s a British production, it’s helmed by one of America’s most prolific authors, Harlan Coben. The premise is simple: a psychologist who can speak to the undead is morally bound to uncover the truth behind how they met their ultimate ends. If you’ve ever seen a ghost story before (Archive 81, The Haunting, Tru Calling, etc.) you know exactly what you’re signing up for. Tune in to...

Based on a short story by Katherine Heiny, DMV is CBS’s new workplace comedy starring Harriet Dyer, Tony Cavalero, and Tim Meadows.

The Chair Company (PILOT)

2025/10/17

On this podcast, we cover the pilot of The Chair Company on HBO, created by Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin. Tim plays Ron, a mall development manager whose chair collapses post-speech, setting off an absurd chain of paranoia, corporate dread, and possible conspiracies. Think Curb, The Curse, and a dash of Severance, though goofier. We talk performances, oddball supporting characters, possible HR nightmares, fan-favorite bits, and our theories. The comparison list isn't short and we also throw in...

Monster: The Ed Gein Story (PILOT)

Today"s Episode ·

2025/10/10

Monster: The Ed Gein Story kicks off with “MOTHER!,” a chilly, wild plunge into the story of the Plainfield Ghoul. Charlie Hunnam does his best to embody the infamous serial killer. From his awkward voice to his fascination with Nazi pulp magazines and his mother (played by Laurie Metcalf), this third edition of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s series fits right in with the polarizing nature of the first two seasons. Before giving our rating, we run down the episode, the scariest and strangest m...

A severed hand, a missing billionaire, and a suspicious trophy wife.
