Podlander Drunkcast

Hi y'all, Allison and Julie happily discuss Outlander season 8 episode 8 "In The Forest," because it was better than whatever happened last week. A couple of notes: 1) Jamie definitely WOULD have asked Claire about the book's dedication, right? 2) Can Brianna just go ahead and invent a time machine so we can fast forward through whatever is happening right now? And finally, 3) Why is Charles Vandervaart sneakily becoming our favorite? Is it because he was a whiny-bitch baby-man who chose to LEARN FROM IT?

Hi - Thanks, we don't want it. Lots of book spoilers in here, so if you care, avoid 22:15 through around 28:30. Good job to Lauren Lyle and Sophie Skelton. Nothing pithy to say, this episode was a disappointment. These sharks aren't going to jump themselves - Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi y'all, Julie and Amelia watched Outlander season 8 episode 6 together and are here to chat about it. What great acting! WHAT FANTASTIC COSTUMES. Special thanks to Izzy Meikle-Small (Rachel), Morgan Holmstrom (Wahionhaweh), and John Bell (Ian) for all their beautiful work. Lots of love, Julie and Amelia Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi y'all, Julie was joined by friend of the show Laura (aka Viv Pickles) to watch and chat about Outlander season 8 episode 5 "Send for the Devil." What an action-packed episode! What a great up close fight sequence! Here's to the way Captain Cunningham (Kieran Bew) said "Worshipful Master!" Here's to silently yeeting out of an awkward meeting! Here's to slipping a couple of fingers in whilst flirting in a gazebo! Lots of love, Julie and Viv Pickles Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Allison and Julie discuss Outlander, season eight episode 4 "Muskets, Liberty and Sauerkraut." First of all, stop the sauerkraut slander! B) Great scene work from Sophie Skelton and Charles Vandervaart. 3) All hail, Queen Elsbeth (Frances Tomelty)! Finally, the word for the belty-hangy-thingy is a chatelaine. They look pretty cool. Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi y'all - It's fine. We're good! But...a real come-down from a bear attack, y'know? Lots of hot pess and good work in this episode. Special tri-corn hat tip to Charles Vandervaart as William, really serving that bug vest. Hey Jamie...quit being such a turd. Your wife is a wizard! Get with the program. Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi y'all - Allison and Julie got together to watch and talk about Starz's Outlander, season 8 episode 2, "Prophecies." This episode has EVERYTHING. The hottest of piss, great direction by our gal Caitríona Balfe, late-night grave digging, great costuming, a new baby, and a bear attack....whuuuut?? This one reminded us of the good old days of our time with this show! Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi y'all - Allison and Julie got a lil' high and very much enjoyed watching Starz's Outlander, season eight episode one, "The Soul of a Rebel." Minus ONE THING, we loved it! Probably a lot of you agree? Aaaannyway, Patti, please enjoy us joking around and occasionally spouting some trenchant criticism. Confidential (not really) to David Berry....we love you. What books would we take through the stones back to the Revolutionary War? No paperbacks, of that we can assure you. Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

ARE YOU REEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDYYYY????!!?!?! We can't believe it, but here we are at the beginning of the end for Starz's Outlander. Allison and Julie take you through the Starz official season 8 trailer frame by frame. Use this link if you want to follow along, Please enjoy! Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT'S UUUUPPPPP? Allison and Julie got together to watch and react to (one of?) the Outlander season 8 teaser trailers, and the new opening credits as sung by the great Annie Lennox. Looking to be "in" next season - bees. Pointing a gun at Coinface? OUT. Here are links to the Starz official teaser we're talking about, and s8 opening credits. And don't forget to check out Feminist Cross-Stitch! Back, back, back again - Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi everyone - Better late than never, here is our fan-requested episode where we (Julie and Amelia) say nice things about Blood of My Blood that aren't all about the actors, the costumes, or the Scotland porn. We also finally address all those Fiery Crosses in the finale.....pssst! It's the Jacobite Rebellion! Lots of love - Amelia and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Shut the door to the bothy, babes: it's time to snuggle up with Julie and Amelia's coverage of the season finale of Blood of My Blood. They delighted in the casting department's latest triumphs (baby Claire! Hot Uncle Lamb! MAURA GRANT MACKENZIE!) as much as they despaired of the logic of time travel. And can we get a little commotion for getting this strong sexual content past TSA? xoxo Julie and Amelia   Photo courtesy of STARZ

Hi, y'all - Amelia got together with friend of the show Keenan Caldwell to discuss Blood of My Blood episode 9, "Braemar." Lots of wig talk, happiness at having a more robust plot to gab about, and a big pig hunt. Shout out to Jhon Lumsden as Malcom, you seem like a good man. What else does a gal need, other than being allowed to marry who she wants?? Tell me that!! Lots of love - Amelia and Keenan Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Hey! When we begged for 'hot pess,' this was not what we meant! Amelia and Julie sat down to discuss the Starz series Blood of My Blood, episode 8, "A Virtuous Woman." This one can go kick rocks. Enough with the humiliation of women! We are all very aware how bad it sucked/sucks! It is nice to see the women banding together - Julia and Mrs. Fitz both rule. And though we were not a fan of this story line, Harriet Slater really knocked it out of the park as Ellen. Lots of love, Amelia and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Friend of the show Jen Moniz dropped in to chat with Julie about Starz Blood of My Blood, episode 7 "Luceo Non Uro." A lot of noise, not much action. Murtaugh is (rightly) pissed! Ellen is thinking so fast! Julia is...gardening! Let's get through this thing together, shall we? Lots of love - Julie and Jen Photo courtesy of Starz

**Content Warning - discussion of sexual assault** Hoo, boy. We've about had it up to here with this crap. You've been warned. Lots of love - Amelia and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Finally some real, hot...PESS! Julie and Amelia were excited to watch Starz's Blood of My Blood, season 1 episode 5, "Needfire." Time to go to the Beltane Baaaaalllll!!! So much to see! Incredible costuming. Fun mask work. Some really sexy ruining! This episode has it all, baby! Including some great drunk acting from our favorite lil' Pamplemousse (Murtaugh), Rory Alexander. He's queueing up The Cure on his Walkman as we SPEAK. Confidential to Mistress Porter...can I tour your garden? No reason. Lots of love - Julie and Amelia Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - ....Zzzzz..zzz...what?!? Huh? We're awake! Amelia and Julie discuss Starz's Blood My Blood season 1 episode 4, "A Soldier's Heart." This one is mostly about Henry Beauchamp, played excellently by Jeremy Irvine. Firstly, celebrate scaffolding! Secondly, look at all the beautiful Scotland porn on display! Hey! Wake up!! We're about to go to the ball! Lots of love - Amelia and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Amelia and Julie chat about Starz's Blood of My Blood, s1 ep3 "School of the Moon." First things first - lets all give it up for Conor MacNeill, our Young Ned. He is absolutely crushing it! Time to bring back an old hashtag....#gowanforit. Ellen has to marry everyone because her brothers suck! Julia has to make a terrible decision. Nothing quite like 'the good ol' days,' amirite, ladies? Lots of love - Julie and Amelia Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Amelia and Julie did it. We watched episodes 1 and 2 of the Starz Outlander prequel series Blood of My Blood. We had a good time (mostly), and are happy to be back in the recording mode! Highlights - Young Ned, Baby Pamplemousse (duh), and costumes and cinematography galore. Since we're in world-building mode here, I don't think it could be said any better than Amelia put it - "Celebrate Scaffolding!" Lots of love - Julie and Amelia Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi! While Allison takes a well-deserved summer break, Amelia and Julie got together to watch and react to the Starz-official trailer for the Outlander prequel series, Blood of My Blood. As always, we couldn't figure out tech shit, so just trust us on the time stamps. We also conflated Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Fitzgibbons, we're very sorry book readers! Let's all hope that this show is great. We are very excited for Baby Pamplemousse! Lots of love - Amelia and Julie Photo Courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Let's wrap Dudelander season 7B up with some beef sticks! Here is part two of two, as always, unhinged, drunk, and all over the place. Big shout out to Kevin and Neal! They really don't like the show, but they do love attention. Lots of love - Allison, Julie, Amelia (and the Dudes)

Hi y'all - You know what everyone needs right about now?? Some fucking Dudelander! Kevin and Neal joined us to chat about Outlander season 7B. As always, not a one of us can shut up! So this is part one of two. Listen in to hear some bits, some ridiculousness and a LOT of tangents. Extra special thanks to our editor, Chris Barrett for making sense of the chaos. Enjoy! Lots of love, Allison, Amelia, and Julie (and Kevin and Neal)

Hi, y'all - On Saturday, February 8, 2025, we performed a most excellent live show at Chicago's finest dive bar, The Oasis Tavern, wrapping up all of our thoughts and feeling about season 7B of Starz's Outlander. True to our brand of professionalism, our recorder did not capture the audio. So...herein you will discover an episode in which, using our notes and our excellent friends who attended in person (thank you, Jen and Scottie!), we attempt to somewhat recreate the live show. Enjoy! Thanks to Michelle, Ben, and John from the Oasis! Lots of love - Allison and Julie

**Content Warning - Suicide** Hi, y'all - Allison and Julie got together remotely to discuss the finale of season seven of Starz's Outlander, "A Hundred Thousand Angels.' This episode was...not really our favorite! Remaining excellent, however, are Amelia's jokes from the live watch attached below. This episode has some book spoiler-y stuff in it around 27:50 to 34:00-ish and again around 48:30-ish. Here's a spoiler for free; David Berry is the shit. Lots of love - Allison and Julie **Amelia's jokes in absentia: 1) During peeing in the bucket "Written in My Own Heart's Urine. Blood of my Urine." 2) During blood type conversation "Claire's blood type is O-positive." Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Allison, Amelia, and Julie got cozy together to talk about Starz's Outlander season 7 episode 15, "Written In My Own Heart's Blood." We enjoyed this one a great deal! All hail Sam Heughan getting it done in-TENTS. But we gotta say...the stars, Starz? THE PAINTING?? Come on. We'll be back in two weeks for the season finale! Lots of love - Allison, Amelia, and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Allison and Julie got together remotely to chat about Starz's Outlander s7B ep 14, "Ye Dinna Get Used To It." They both really enjoyed this one! As Allison says, this episode has everything - fashion eyepatch, sexy cheese, and a slimy worm. Enjoy! Lots of love - Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Allison, Julie, and very special guest J.B. Fletcher (Allison's dog, not the one who wrote murder) get together to chat about Outlander s7B episode 13, "Hello, Goodbye." Overall a pretty enjoyable episode! We love Weeian and Rachel's wedding, and Roger's Dad is hottttttt. The thing we both love the most? The Scottish Highland landscape porn (drool). Best Holiday wishes, Allison, Julie, and J.B. Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Fragile masculinity is on parade in this episode of Outlander, and, as you can imagine, Allison and Julie are having none of it. They thought you were dead! Everything is OK, your biological Dad is hot, and if you don't want to talk to him, you don't have to! Ugh! Rachel and Denzel give us some good scenes, and Coinface really brings it. Watch this episode just for his 'no fucks to give' face. It's worth it. Lots of love - Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Allison, Julie, and Amelia got together in the new comfy recording set up to gab about Outlander s7B episode 11, "A Hundredweight of Stones." Wow! Woweeeewowowow. Ummm...We don't even know what to say here except GIVE DAVID BERRY A LORD JOHN SPINOFF, YOU COWARDS. Lots of love - Allison, Julie, and Amelia Photo courtesy of Starz

Hey y'all, IT'S DAVID BERRY SEASON, LET'S GOOOOOO. Allison and Julie sat on the couch like two Kelly Clarksons to discuss the mostly excellent second episode of season 7B -- mostly excellent because excellent until we sensed the presence of facial hair interference. But David Berry is back in the BUILDING, how mad can we be??? Listen wherever you get your podcasts! xoxo- A+J

Hello friends!! Allison, Julie, and Amelia are back on the Outlander beat, baby!! In this episode, we discuss season seven episode 9 of Starz's Outlander, "Unfinished Business." So much love for Ian and Weeian! We didn't know how much we missed you, Daddy. Also - an addition of a great voiceover choice, in our humble opinions. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! Lots of Love - Allison, Julie, and Amelia Photo courtesy of Starz

Welp. Here we are. Its about to start again. I'm talking about Outlander. Allison, Julie, and Amelia got together to record this reaction episode to the full season 7b trailer trailer. You can watch and follow along here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0yIwRv4kIk *mild plot/book spoilers at 23:12 Allison, Julie, and Amelia photo courtesy of Starz

Hi, y'all - Allison and Julie got together on a Friday night (!) to watch and rewatch the new opening credits for Outlander season 7B. We're gonna hit that pause button, and we're gonna have THOUGHTS, our friends! If you want to play along, we watched the official Starz YouTube channel version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhITjI1KFtw Lots of love - Allison and Julie Photo credit - courtesy Starz official YouTube

Stay tuned - we've got content leading up to the November 22nd season premiere. Lots of love - Allison and Julie  Photo credit - courtesy Starz official YouTube

Hey, y'all -   Part two of two for Dudelander Outlander s7a. We learn many things in this episode, but it would feel like spoilers to mention them here. Suffice it to say, our Dudes (surprisingly!) have very strong feelings about interior design.   Lots of love - Allison and Julie (and Kevin and Neal)

Oh lord -   Here's Kevin and Neal again, talking about their reactions to Outlander season 7a. They remember some stuff! It's been awhiiiiile....but the laughs are eternal. Part one of two and kind of an abrupt ending to this one. In the style of Dudelander, we're doing the best we can.   Lots of love - Allison and Julie (and Kevin and Neal)

Hi, y'all - Janine was in town so we got him in front of a miiicro-phooone to catch up on what he's up to, and  also to shoot the shit about Outlander season 7a. He still watches! We had a good time getting the band back together.  It would be remiss of me not to quote Amelia "Ham On The Loose" Buzzell re: her amazing photoshop skills - "You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, but are you familiar with JANINE IN THE SCREEN?" Enjoy! Lots of love - Allison, Julie, and Janine 

Hi, y'all -   We're back on this live show bullshit, rolling the D20 and declaring the "winners" of Outlander season 7A. Thanks to The Oasis Tavern, thanks to our bartenders Elizabeth and Michelle, thanks to Joseph our amazing karaoke jockey, and thanks to the regulars who actually kind of enjoyed it early on a Saturday.   But mostly...thanks to all of you buttholes who traveled to join us and sing karaoke with us, and all of you listening right now. You're the best and we mean it.   Lots of love - Allison and Julie

H, y'all -   Julie and Allison continue their thought-provoking discussion of karaoke (part two of two).   It's all because we are SO EXCITED for our live show on September 30th (at the Oasis!), that we're trying to release some wiggles.   Lots of Love - Allison and Julie   Photo by Alyssa Yung on Unsplash

Hi, y'all -   In honor of our upcoming Podlander Drunkcast live show/event on Saturday, September 30, 2023, Julie and Allison go deep on karaoke. How much we love it, tips tricks....you name it. It gets pretty philosophical. Part one of two BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MUCH KARAOKE MEANS TO US.   Lots of love - Allison and Julie   Photo by Kane Reinholdtsen on Unsplash

h/t to Lauren Rutley of the Slack for the dick epaulette image!!   Hi, y'all -   Allison and Julie are joined by friend of the show Ruth to discuss the excellent costuming in part one of Outlander season 7. Spoiler - we loved them. From the modern stuff all the way down to Dr. Denzel's apron, we were impressed. Enjoy!   Lots of love - Allison, Julie, and Ruth   Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

Hi, y'all -   Allison and Julie chat AT LENGTH about Outlander season 7 episode 8 "Turning Points." We really, really loved this episode. It has everything - Claire being a bad bitch, Jamie feeling things, Weeian and Rachael being hot, and sooooo much hot pess. This season has been excellent so far, and if they keep it up, we think the second half will be just as good!   We'll have plenty of other stuff to say about the first half of season 7 so stay tuned! We'll get through this Withoutlander the best way we know how...together.   Lots of love - Allison and Julie   Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

Hi, y'all - Julie is out this week, but never fear. Allison and Amelia have thoughts and jokes a-plenty about Outlander , season 7 episode 7, "A Practical Guide for Time-Travelers." One thing we can all agree on is that we love Diarmaid Murtagh as Buck MacKenzie, and we would join his Tufty Club any day. Another thing....Roger Mac can fucking ROCK a kilt. Lots of love -  Allison and Amelia Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

**Content Warning - suicide, self-harm. Skip 33:55 - 34:05 to avoid.** Hi, y'all - Who the hell is that guy?? We all felt that, right? It wasn't just us....right? Whiffed "Nuckelavee" reveal aside, there's a lot of good stuff to talk about in this episode. Claire being a boss bitch! Willie being the worst spy! Jamie finally accepting the mantle of Terminator! HAND FLEX!! We promise we don't really think they are throwing shit in there just for us, but the waulking wool lady felt a little on the nose. Confidential to Toby Bakare (Walter Woodcock) - thank you for being excellent at your job! Lots of love - Allison, Julie, and Amelia Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

Hi, y'all -   Another excellent episode! We especially appreciated the modern story line. Roger has gone full daddy and we are here for it! Bree is a boss-ass bitch! Their kids are weird! Their house is a haunted fairy castle! Bree works in a dam filled with dick rock jizz!   The past plot lines are good, too. We love a good Murder House. And we always enjoy when a man of discernment and taste figures out that Claire is amazing (Thank you Dr. Denzel).   Guess how many French dudes we can name? Now choose half that number.   Lots of love - Allison and Julie   Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

Hi, y'all - Oooooh! We. Love. This Episode!! Allison and Julie are joined by Amelia to break down Outlander season 7, episode 4 "A Most Uncomfortable Woman." Willie...Rachel....Weeian....all so good. And to be blessed with another scene featuring an actor who now lives on our Mt. Rushmore of Outlander performances?? Hashtag-blessed! Lots of love- Allison, Julie, and Amelia Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

Hi, y'all -   We enjoyed this episode even if it wasn't the most action-packed (other than the inevitable fire and all those windows exploding, RIP all nine thousand big house windows). Amazing costuming work in this one, and lots of great hot pess! We have returned the favor by recording this episode in which we indulge in quite a bit of hot pess ourselves.   Everyone be glad that Adso survived, because if not, we would have peaced out.   Lots of love, Allison and Julie   Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

**Content Warning - Sexual Assault**   Hi, y'all -   We are sure y'all know how we feel about the first ten minutes of this episode, so if you want to skip over discussion of assault skip 05:20ish - 14:00.   Everything else was pretty great, though. Thank goodness we get to see David Berry back as the most excellent Coinface/Lord John Grey! The core actors really nail it in this one. We have several discussions about butt jewels, like we would. Enjoy!   Lots of love - Allison and Julie   Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)

Hi, ya'll - Allison and Julie are back on the Outlander beat, baby!  Welcome to Outlander season 7, where we're about to see a metric fuckton of THOOOOSE Cooooaats. But first - let's watch a master at his craft. Mark Lewis Jones is so freakin' good in episode 1 "A Life Well Lost." We enjoyed it....with a few quibbles, naturally (Julie - "too many boats"). Guess how many musical theatre references Allison makes in this episode. Now double that number. Glad to be back - Allison and Julie Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)
