season 4

505 – Room Service

A.Ron and Cecily dive into the latest episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, “Room Service”, in which we get a lot of terrible Alex, a sermon on the dangers of not vaccinating our children, some fabulous Liz Taylor Russell Edgington, and what is perhaps the finest comeuppance in television history when Iris finally snaps on some loathsome human garbage. Plus, John discovers reporting a campy Halloween cult is the quickest way to get fired as LAPD, and there’s a pack of pre-teen glampires prowling the streets of LA. That can’t be good. All this, your feedback, and plenty of host on host snark.

413 – Curtain Call

Well, it’s the season finale of American Horror Story: Freak Show, episode 413, “Curtain Call”, and it’s a hot mess. What started off with so much Twisted promise devolved into a Dandy just never quite got there and too little, too late Chester. In this podcast, we talk our overall thoughts on the season, on the happy Freaks ending, and make predictions for next year. All this, plus a Ima Wiggles sized portion of feedback, and much more.

412 – Show Stoppers

Cecily and A.Ron muddle through a podcast for episode 412 of American Horror Story: Freak Show entitled “Show Stoppers”. The episode had one hilariously awesome moment between Chester and Maggie, an awkward homage to the classic horror film “Freaks”, and a dumb plot for dumb Jimmy about his dumb hands where he screams and yells a lot. On the positive side, lots of our extremely smart listeners were shot calling and balling their predictions, which is always fun. At the end, we’re left wondering what to expect for the finale next week, “Curtain Calls”? All this, plus a good helping of feedback. See you next week, freaks!

411 – Magical Thinking

American Horror Story: Freak Show returns and so do we! We very much enjoyed NPH’s arrival to our little traveling circus, because who the hell doesn’t like NPH? We also discuss the fate of Dell, our continued lack of interest in all things Jimmy, the marital arrangements of Chester, whether “The Molester” is a good idea for a stage name, and much more. All this, and your feedback, coming at ya!

410 – Orphans

Cecily and A.Ron bring a little Christmas cheer to an episode with a jet black send off for it’s two week hiatus. We discuss wayward boys, tattoos and hair removal, Elsa’s dubious act of charity, and discuss the worst characters in AHS history. All this plus a smattering of feedback and a teeny, tiny little spoiler section. Enjoy, and happy holidays!

409 – Tupperware Party Massacre

We got a lot of things we weren’t expecting out of American Horror Story in this episode 410, “Tupperware Party Massacre”. Things like audible fapping, the human wreckage of Drunk Jimmy, and a complete lack of song and dance. But we got a lot of good stuff too, primarily in Sarah Paulson’s riveting performance as both Bett and Dott as they come to terms with their shared lives and loves. But it still feels like something is missing. You feeling us on this? Let us know in the feedback section!

408 – Blood Bath

A.Ron and Cecily are kind of lukewarm on this episode 408 of American Horror Show: Freak Show entitled “Blood Bath”. Strong performances by Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange can’t quite elevate the surrounding cast and material, and we were super bummed at Maggie raining on the whole revenge against Papa Candy Striper parade. On a positive note, the Dandy reclaims a lot of his creepy swag. All this, plus lots more opinions, and some fellow fan feedback. Enjoy!

407 – Test of Strength

This week A.Ron and Cecily are a bit underwhelmed by this episode, though it did have its moments. We discuss Jimmy’s singing career, Eve’s awesomeness, the limits of Paul’s acceptance of the Candy Striper, AKA ‘Lil Meryl, Richard Edgington’s crappy plotting, and of course, how Del is a complete and total a-hole. All this, your feedback, and a smidgen of spoilers at the very end.

406 – Bullseye

Cecily and A.Ron found this episode a fairly uncomfortable watch. Poor Paul, poor Ma Petite, poor all the freaks under the increasingly merciless rule of Ms. Mars, poor us the audience trying to get through another bloated 75 minute episode. But we, like them, must endure. Join us in a rollicking discussion about candy stripers, villainous “Wheel” monologues, desert hearts filled with dust and scorpions, and much more. All this, your feedback, and a bit of spoiler talk at the very end.

405 – Pink Cupcakes

A.Ron’s in Albuquerque, Cecily’s in Cincinnati, but through the magic of the internet, the Freakshow goes on! Join us in a rollicking discussion of dicks, clits, buff Dandy’s, Mother/Daughter revenge schemes, confusing fake out flashbacks, and much more. Plus your great feedback, AND a spoiler section delving into recent Ryan Murphy interviews and speculation about next season
