The Broken Earth Trilogy
We wrap up our recap/analysis of the simply amazing Broken Earth Trilogy in this episode. If you recall, we reviewed book 1 of the trilogy in Season 1 of our show. If you already listened to that episode, you might just want to skip ahead to around 18 minutes, where we get into books 2 and 3....

Wandavision
We're not into superheroes, and we're not apologizing for that. But we did like Wandavision! If you want a take on the show that's not just a black hole of convoluted Marvel nonsense, listen in. At about 48 minutes, we somehow arrive at a discussion of Disney, the total artwork, utopia, and...

The Queen's Gambit
Sex, drugs, and... chess??? Why yes, it's The Queen's Gambit. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. Also, this was recorded in February 2021, so... we say some not timely things. Sue us. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

Babylon Berlin Seasons 1 & 2
We're really into German tv, apparently. This time, we try to explain the extremely complex but very rewarding Babylon Berlin. Based on a series of mystery books, the show goes well beyond the source material in ways that are really satisfying. There's 3 seasons on Netflix, but we just get into…

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (AKA "Probs with Dobbs")
More Harry Potter! In this episode, we dive into the second book in the series, exploring, among other topics, the nonsense that is the (still wholly lovable) character of Dobby, hence this episode's nickname: "Probs with Dobbs." We do want to state up front that we do not agree with the...

The Haunting of Bly Manor
We're not really that into horror. We'd like to be, but we're fraidy cats. But we were brave and watched Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor. And it was so worth it! DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

Dark
We love this mind-blowing German sci-fi show even though it also kinda hurts our heads. If you're a Dark fan, join us as we try to untie the knot of interdimensional time travel that is this crazy show. If you're not a Dark fan, you're wrong, and you need to leave now and go watch the show…

Rodham
We like books. We like ladies in politics. What has both? Curtis Sittenfeld's Rodham. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

Westworld Season 3
Look, we're noobs, ok? A week-by-week Westworld Season 3 recap was perhaps too ambitious. In this episode, we cut to the chase. TLDR (or listen, as the case may be): Season 3 was great. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson
-
Fiction/Nonfiction: The Fifth Season & The Soul of an Octopus
We read books too! This week we review two recent reads: one fiction and one nonfiction. In the fiction corner is N.K. Jemisin's genius The Fifth Season. And in the nonfiction corner is Sy Montgomery's The Soul of an Octopus. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by…

Westworld Season 3, Episodes 2 & 3
Whatever your excuse, if you're only just now getting around to watching Westworld Season 3, join us for a recap and analysis of episodes 2 and 3. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson
-
Westworld Season 3, Episode 1
We like Westworld! And there's a new season! Or there was in March 2020 when we recorded this. It's been a year. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers not just for this particular episode of Westworld but for the series as a whole. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Our shared nerdery for the wizarding world is part of what inspired us to do this podcast! In this episode, we take a deep dive into the first book of the series to try understand what makes it so great and also why are there so many freaking knuts in a sickle?? DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers.…

Arrival
Do you love the movie Arrival? Because we do! We nerd about this beautiful film, compare it to the short story on which it is based, and delve into a little of the psychology, ethics, and metaphysics of it all. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. NOTES: We bring up the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, so if...

Russian Doll
We talk about one of our favorite shows: Russian Doll, created by the amazing Natasha Lyonne, Leslye Headland, and Amy Poehler. Also, we chat about why more tv should be written by women and the woes of life in the peak tv era. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. If you don't want Russian Doll…
