Merry Christmas! Our re-watch of season 2 rolls on with episode 205, “Breakage”.

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.

204 – Down

This is a downer of an episode, for sure. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is being an a-hole to everyone else. Some for understandable, legitimate episodes, some for less clear reasons. Jim and A.Ron, leading experts at a-hole-ism, break it down for you as they discuss Walt’s obvious, desperate breakfasts, Skyler’s gamesmanship, Walt Jr’s Flynn’s rebellion, and Jesse bluing himself. All this, your feedback, AND a robust, over-sized spoiler section!

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!

202 – Grilled

Jim and A.Ron enjoy a very strong second episode of season two, “Grilled”. Tense, exciting, and in genuine Breaking Bad fashion, darkly hilarious in places, “Grilled” has the boys pumped to re-discover the rest of season two.
