S1E14 "TKO"

(00:00:00) Zocalo (00:40:23) Grey Council A boxing match so boring it was BANNED in the UK, Ivanova sits shiva for a complicated father, and the shocking revelation that this episode is just Top Gun in a blender? 🥊🕯️✈️ Jenny, Jenn, and first-timer Gus (with Ali away on assignment) team up to tackle "TKO." This week’s brutally honest discussion includes: Gus delivers a truly epic rant on why he "didn't give a flying f**k" about the alien boxing A-plot. Jenn gives a showrunner’s masterclass on "May Sweeps" and why "TKO" is a classic network "throwaway episode". Jenny reveals the dark and deeply personal history of JMS’s father that fueled his commitment to creating Ivanova's Jewish heritage. The team tries to make sense of the baffling "no humans allowed" rule and why a minor character is inexplicably named Caliban. We learn about the Warner Bros. scheduling mistake that aired this episode out of order, potentially weakening Ivanova's character arc for the season. 🎬 Watch our LIVE REACTION to the episode here ✨ Support us on Patreon for unedited reactions and bonus content! 👉 http://www.patreon.com/babbleonpod 📲 Follow us on Bluesky: @babbleonpod.bsky.social 🎶 Music: "Discovery" by Alexander Nakarada
