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 capitalism. If want to learn more, here's a chapter from a book about Disney and the total artwork (PDF). Or if podcasts are more your speed, here's one on Disney's utopian ambitions. And, if your curiosity's piqued by our convo about philanthropy and the social improvement...

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 the first two.DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. But this show is so complicated, we're really doing you a favor.CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

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 transphobic statements of J.K. Rowling or support her in any way. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. But lol if you don't know what happens in Harry Potter at this point.CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

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 because none of this will make any sense and also we spoil all the plot twists and endings.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

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

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. But lol if you don't know what happens at this point.NOTES: The Hogwarts sorting quiz we mention in this episode, and which we consider definitive, can be found in this 2017 TIME article.CREDITS: Music - "Spilled...

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 you're curious about it and want to read a good explanation of the hypothesis in relation to Arrival, check out this Smithsonian article.CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

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 spoiled, don't listen. Also, this is our very first baby podcast episode and the audio is... not great. We're sorry! We're learning! Thank you for being our guinea pigs.NOTES: We briefly discuss a distinction between science fiction and fantasy attributed to...
