208 – Omega Station

Jim and A.Ron attempt to have a nuanced discussion on the ups and downs of Season Two of True Detective. We talk about what worked, what didn’t, the possibility of a RenaiVance, and wonder about the identity of the series as we anticipate Season Three. If you’ve enjoyed our coverage of Season One and Two, please consider leaving us a positive iTunes review or supporting us with the links below. If you’re super mad that we never learned how to pronounce Edd-i-pus, or we otherwise gave you blueballs of the heart, there’s always the option for the scathing one star review. As for us? No rest. Never stop moving. Hopefully we’ll see you later on for Fargo / The Leftovers / The Walking Dead.

313 – “Trust No Bitches”

Kelly Anneken of Up Yours, Downstairs! and Family Meeting fame joins me once again for a super sized podcast for the 90 minute season three finale of Orange is the New Black, “Trust No Bitches”. We discuss our overall feelings about the third season, hate on Piper, Alex and Healy, share our joy at Black Cindy’s moving conversion to Judaism, debate the merits of working for one’s parents, and much, much more. It’s a podcast more colorfully deadly than a Jolly Rancher shiv, and it’s coming your way.

312 – “Don’t Make Me Come Back There”

Nina from Project Fandom once again joins me to break down the latest episode of Orange is the New Black, number 312, “Don’t Make Me Come Back There.” In it we discuss how awesome of a mother Tastee is, in direct contrast to how awful a mother Aleida is, our shared, deep, and abiding love for corn on the cob, our dissatisfaction with Ruby Rose’s stint on Orange, and the tragic, heinous treatment of our favorite prison stylist, Sophia. Oh, and there’s some stuff with Piper and Alex in there, too.

311 – “We Can Be Heroes”

Cecily joins me once again to recap episode 311 of “Orange is the New Black”, entitled “We Can Be Heroes”. This episode is all about the origin story of Beercan, and how nice guys can finish last, and how doing the right thing should be it’s own reward. Boo gives Pennsatucky some tough love, and Piper continues her climb to the top of the prison industrial panty complex.
