TM60 – Alisen Down Interview
One last hurrah for 12 Monkeys Uncaged! Our final podcast shares Mike's interview with Alisen Down, who of course plays Olivia on 12 Monkeys, which was conducted just before the season 4 finale aired on Syfy. Alisen shared the challenges of finding the voice of the Witness and how it paralleled...

TM59 – 12 Monkeys – Final Listener Feedback Extravaganza
We turn it over to the listeners who get their final say about 12 Monkeys as a series and how it all ended up in the perfect finale. We heard from so many people who have joined us on this journey these past four years, and you'll get to hear some insights Cory and I could never have come up with...
-
TM58 – S4E10 – The Beginning
It's Mike and Cory's last 12 Monkeys episode discussion ever for the series finale, "The Beginning"! What a great way to go out with a wonderful, thoughtful discussion filled with appreciation, speculation, and awe at how perfect everything was, topped off with some insightful, well-phrased...
-
TM57 – S4E9 – One Minute More
We marvel over the tightly-written 12 Monkeys penultimate episode, "One Minute More," in which secrets are revealed that reach all the way back to season 1, but we also get plenty of shocking revelations from only the final season, such as who the real demon is! With such a wonderful set up, how...
-
TM56 – S4E8 – Demons
"Demons" has an epic feel that takes us as close to the beginning and end of things as we've ever been in 12 Monkeys! The medieval setting really gives the story the depth it needed to take the team up the stairs to ring the bell, but what could the loss of the weapon mean? And where would the...
-
TM55 – S4E7 – Daughters
Our 12 Monkeys discussion gets a bit literary as we discuss the wonderful duality of "Daughters" as it draws parallels between Hannah and Emma. Interestingly, although Terry Matalas calls the next series of episodes a "descent into darkness," the revelations we get in this one are quite...
-
TM54 – S4E6 – Die Glocke
It's time for discussion of one of the zaniest episodes of 12 Monkeys ever: "Die Glocke"! Whether you thought Jennifer's singing and gleeful assassination of Hitler were over the top or not, this episode was undeniably fun. And it notably marks the end of Night 2 as well as the series of romps…
more -
TM53 – S4E5 – After
The question of what comes after victory or loss in 12 Monkeys makes us very philosophical in our discussion of "After" this week. The admirably complex ins and outs of doing a causality loop episode put this one in the top five 12 Monkeys stories of all time. Plus it doesn't hurt to have the...
-
TM52 – S4E4 – Legacy
Our discussion enters the section of 12 Monkeys season 4 in which the adventures of Team Splinter begin in "Legacy." A trip to 1852 gives us the Wild West theme we never knew we wanted until now and blends it with the unlikely circumstance of the building of Titan and the return of Elliot Jones....
-
TM51 – Season 4 Night 4 with Terry Matalas
The final fireside chat for 12 Monkeys season 4 takes us through the ups and downs of one of the most perfect episodes of television ever! Terry Matalas has quite a few insights to share for many of the lingering questions fans may still have, and we guarantee you'll be more enlightened after...
-
TM50 – S4E3 – 45 RPM
It's time to explore the origin of the Witness in 12 Monkeys with our analysis of episode 403, "45 RPM." Cassie learns the hard way that using the same old strategy not only is doomed to fail but can cause unpredicted consequences. Plus Jennifer rejoins the fold! This discussion contains spoilers...
-
TM49 – Season 4 Night 3 with Terry Matalas
The third trio of 12 Monkeys season 4 episodes begin the "descent into darkness" of night 3, which includes 407 “Daughters,” 408 “Demons,” and 409 “One Minute More.” The search for the weapon may have ended in tragedy, but the revelations made throughout the night were almost too much to take in!...
-
TM48 – S4E2 – Ouroboros
Our podcast discussion continues for 12 Monkeys with a Terry Matalas penned and helmed episode, “Ouroboros,” in which Jones, Cassie, and Cole revisit the very first splinter from season 1 from a different perspective. Plenty of emotional content and opportunities to explain some problems with the...
-
TM47 – Season 4 Night 2 with Terry Matalas
[sc:tmtop] 12 Monkeys Season 4 Night 2 Discussion with Terry Matalas The second trio of 12 Monkeys season 4 episodes lightens the mood as Team Splinter embarks on series of adventures in night 2, which includes 404 “Legacy,” 405 “After,” and 406 “Die Glocke.” The search for the weapon is on as…

TM46 – S4E1 – The End
We’re back with more episode analysis for 12 Monkeys, this time with the season premiere, “The End,” which finds us right where we left off in season three. We talk about all of the conflicting emotions with the different members of the team and speculate on where things might be headed once they...
-
TM45 – Season 4 Night 1 with Terry Matalas
The first chapter of 12 Monkeys season 4 has finally arrived, and fans all over the U.S. were glued to their seats as night 1 unfolded, including 401 "The End," 402 "Ouroboros," and 403 "45 RPM," and the three episodes together really felt like the first chapter of the final tale. The story of…

TM44 – 12 Monkeys Season 4 Preview (featuring Terry Matalas)
With the final season of 12 Monkeys upon us, it’s important to reflect on the story so far, as complicated as it is, to have certain ideas fresh in our minds. Will certain fan theories prove true, or will they at least be addressed? Where did we leave off with the different characters? What are…
more -
TM43 – Season 3 Listener Feedback Extravaganza
12 Monkeys season 3 is over, but the theories and predictions still abound! Join us as we read listener mail, play audio feedback, and respond to your thoughts and impressions of the season. We've got opinions about Olivia and how she'll become what she needs to become, about who Cole's mother…
more -
TM42 – Season 3 Debrief with Terry Matalas
12 Monkeys showrunner Terry Matalas hopped back on the phone to talk about season 3 and answer some of our burning questions. He was out in the forest filming a scene for season 4 and teased some of the more significant aspects of season 3 that he assured us would get their payoff. We hope you...
-
TM41 – S3E10 – Witness
It's no surprise that the season 3 finale of 12 Monkeys is titled Witness, but the identity of the Witness certainly was! Just when we thought we had it figured out! The battle seemed all but impossible, and parts of it actually were! But the ending was satisfying - not exactly a cliffhanger but…
more -
TM40 – S3E9 – Thief
Athan Cole certainly does not seem to be amenable to the future laid out before him, and in the 12 Monkeys episode, Thief, we see his avoidance strategy. Told brilliantly through Cole's and Cassie's reading of his journals, a love story unfolds that explains it all, including why someone might…
more -
TM39 – S3E8 – Masks
The team is splintered in an entirely different way in the episode of 12 Monkeys entitled Masks. Is the fissure between Team Jones and Team Witness too wide to ever bridge again? Will Cole and Cassie finally rekindle the life they lost in the 1950's here in 1899? Is their mission to save their…
more -
TM38 – S3E7 – Nurture
The 12 Monkeys writers fit a LOT of story into this episode entitled Nurture both in the form of Cassie's solo visit to the past and the mission to attack the Guardians' stronghold. With a last minute change of heart, it appears the Cassie and Cole are on their own now! How will the team survive...
-
TM37 – S3E6 – Nature
Going beyond fate versus free will is the idea of nature versus nurture in the rearing of a child in the 12 Monkeys episode entitled Nature. In this Christmas episode of sorts, we see the early Army of the 12 Monkeys led by Pallid Man's father (Christopher Lloyd) and the Messenger known as Mantis...
-
TM36 – S3E5 – Causality
Night 2 of 12 Monkeys season 3 gets off to a raring start with a trip to the 1980s in this very Ocean's-11-like episode entitled Causality. Secrets abound in this heist to get the Word of the Witness, but with Cole and Cassie gaining a surprising ally, things are about to get really interesting!...
-
TM35 – Night 1 Debrief with Terry Matalas
We got 12 Monkeys showrunner Terry Matalas on the phone to talk about the brilliance of Night 1 of the season 3 linear binge. He's got plenty to share about the first four episodes of season 3 including exclusive insight on Ramse's story arc. He also teases what's to come in the remaining...
-
TM34 – S3E4 – Brothers
The tough choice is made as the brothers, Cole and Ramse, go head-to-head in the latest 12 Monkeys episode appropriately titled Brothers. Is it hypocritical of Cole to protect one person over billions when he criticized Ramse for doing the same? Or is Ramse in the wrong for deceiving Cole in a…
more -
TM33 – S3E3 – Enemy
With Olivia caged and Deacon imprisoned, the 12 Monkeys episode title Enemy takes on several meanings. How do you get your supposed enemy to do or say what you want? And who among your friends is really an enemy themselves? These seem to be the prevailing questions in this third episode of the...
-
TM32 – S3E2 – Guardians
We're going down some dark paths in the second episode of 12 Monkeys' third season entitled Guardians! The team seems very fractured, and the mission has barely even started yet! Fortunately, Jennifer is back in play and appears to at least have an inkling of what's going on, but with Ramse…
more -
TM31 – S3E1 – Mother
Looks like we're picking up right where we left off in the 12 Monkeys season 3 premiere, Mother. Right away, we're learning a lot about Titan and what everyone has been doing for the past few months: a whole lot of nothing! But things get weird, too, with Jennifer's experience in France and Cole...
-
TM30 – BONUS – Season 2 Listener Feedback
Time for a 12 Monkeys season 2 debrief with our bonus listener feedback episode! Together with an enlightening interview with eminent writer, Sean Tretta, and a surprise call-in from showrunner Terry Matalas and Jennifer Goines herself, Emily Hampshire, this feedback episode begins with a bang!...
-
TM29 – S2E13 – Memory of Tomorrow
Like a classical piece with its cadenza, the 12 Monkeys season 2 finale, Memory of Tomorrow, was the perfect cap to a season full of non-stop thrills. Some of our predictions came to fruition, but the manner in which they were fulfilled was unexpected in the extreme! With some mysteries solved,...
-
TM28 – S2E12 – Blood Washed Away
Utter failure permeates this week's 12 Monkeys episode entitled Blood Washed Away, but at least we got our "Casserole" moment! With all the narrative time leaps, the story took on an epic scale and the deaths were worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy. It almost felt like a season finale! Thankfully,...
-
TM27 – S2E11 – Resurrection
The fissure that has grown between members of the group splits wide open in the latest 12 Monkeys episode, Resurrection, and death results. Now we can only hope that Cole is successful in his mission so that much of the damage is undone. But with a year budgeted for both missions, the repairs…
more -
TM26 – S2E10 – Fatherland
Causal loops abound, and betrayal is everywhere in the latest episode of 12 Monkeys entitled Fatherland. Will the break in the group lead to a split in the mission as well? Will Olivia's fateful decision also cause a crack in the armor for the Army of the 12 Monkeys? Plenty of set-up as we head...
-
TM25 – S2E9 – Hyena
The origin story of the Daughters doesn't turn out the way we expected in this week's 12 Monkeys episode, Hyena, nor does the investigation into Titan and the Witness in 2044. With several clues being doled out for time periods that could be explored, where will the travelers head next? And how...
-
TM24 – S2E8 – Lullaby
The most emotional episode of 12 Monkeys ever comes this week in Lullaby, and we're still drying the tears. Terry Matalas and company weren't exaggerating when they called this the best episode of the series to date! We had a lot of fun heaping praise onto this amazing episode, and our listeners...
-
TM23 – S2E7 – Meltdown
With a distinct horror vibe, Meltdown takes 12 Monkeys down the Witness' rabbit hole, and not everyone comes out alive! Amazingly, this bottle episode manages to further the story with a wholly unfamiliar style, and yet it fits the mythology perfectly! Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and...
-
TM22 – S2E6 – Immortal
It's the buddy cop episode as 12 Monkeys heads to 1975 in Immortal! Besides the obvious mending of the friendship between Cole and Ramse and the "saving" of another Primary (depending on how you look at it), this episode left us with a shocker dealing with the consequences of Cassie's red tea...
-
TM21 – S2E5 – Bodies of Water
Was the Witness' identity revealed in the latest episode of 12 Monkeys, Bodies of Water? Certainly his method of communication was made clear as the 12 Monkeys fought their internal battles. Meanwhile, both the ladies in the past and the guys in the future seem to have come to a mutual...
-
TM20 – Emily Hampshire Interview
Emily Hampshire was kind enough to take the time during filming on Schitt's Creek to talk to us about what's been going on with Jennifer Goines in 12 Monkeys. She talked about everything from time travel to the Daughters to Primaries. Join us for this very special interview edition shared…
more -
TM19 – S2E4 – Emergence
This week's episode of 12 Monkeys, Emergence, felt a lot like a season finale - so much was revealed! With Jones feeling more uncertain than she ever has, it was nice to have Jennifer give her a new perspective. Let's just hope that carries over into other personality conflicts that could use…
more -
TM18 – S2E3 – One Hundred Years
The journey to the 40's begins with a surprising amount of failure in this week's 12 Monkeys episode, One Hundred Years. Cole and Cassie just keep getting there too late! What repercussions will the paradox have for the out-cold time travelers, not to mention those in 2044 who are being inundated...
-
TM17 – S2E2 – Primary
The anchor for the second season of 12 Monkeys is set in this amazing episode, Primary. With history actually being changed and a new mission being put into place, it's clear that the virus is only one part of a larger plan. If only the splinter team were more united in purpose and motivation!…
more -
TM16 – S2E1 – Year of the Monkey
12 Monkeys season 2 is off to a roaring start with the season premiere appropriately entitled Year of the Monkey. With Amanda in the post-apocalyptic future and Cole and Ramse on the run, there are quite a few role reversals to talk about in this first podcast discussion of the season! Join us…

-
TM13 – S1E12 – Mothers, Fathers, Lovers, Friends
Saving Cole becomes the top priority in Paradox as younger versions of both Jones and Cole are sought out in 2015. As the past unfolds the way Jones (shockingly) remembers it, it spells the end of Cole's time traveling days. But other strangers appear on the scene, chalky-faced soldiers who want...
-
TM12 – S1E11 – Witnessing the Cycle
Didn't Shonin feel like a season finale? What an episode! Ramse takes the long road from 1987 to 2015, and his mission to keep Cole from erasing his son include working with some unlikely allies who were expecting him! Everything happened the way it did because of Ramse's involvement - but is he...
-
TM11 – S1E10 – Death As Cause and Effect
Cole is back in Cassie's life, and the hunt for the cause of the plague continues in Divine Move! Unfortunately, Ramse has decided that Project Splinter cannot continue if he is to keep his family intact. What will he and Cole do now that they are both supposedly trapped in 1987?
