BingeFestSeason Finale: Desperate Housewives Season 1We did it! Welcome to the season finale of BingeFest where Kate confuses 911 with 991 (as you do), we mourn-ish the loss of Doctor Odyssey, and get into it with Deseperate Housewives where the children and husbands are so terrible they might as well be paid mercenaries.
2025-07-231h 01BingeFestLois & Clark Seasons 2 & 3For the first time ever we revisit a show we’ve already done because seasons 2 and 3 of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman are so vastly different from season 1. Mainly we wonder if Lois is truly a lunatic and whether 1990s Teri Hatcher was hot enough to have hair that bad. Also, Mayson Drake: the girlfriend Clark needed, but not the one he deserved. Lois Lane: the girlfriend Clark deserved, but not the one he needed. Also, we fan out over John Shea’s Lex Luthor, the best Lex that ever was – fight us!
2025-07-0946 minBingeFestSeverance Seasons 1 & 2This week Kate gushes about the adorable British show Big Boys and Vinnie confirms that the Ted TV Show is exactly what you’d expect based on the movie Ted (i.e. amazing and awesome). We also get into the nitty-gritty of Severance, including the fights between Innies and Outies, the poor sad life of Ms. Casey both as an Innie and as the Outie she’ll become, the weird sacrificial lambs in the bowels of Lumon, and how the actual work they do is just… inexplicable.
2025-06-251h 02BingeFestThe Time Traveler’s WifeThis week Daredevil returns in the most improbable rescue of all time and Kate mourns the loss of Foggy while cheering the loss of Karen, all the while not totally understanding HOW this show is back instead of Jessica Jones. We also get into it over the exact definition of a Mexican Standoff. Then we dig deep into the Time Traveler’s Wife, its ties to Doctor Who, the different rules around time travel (butterfly or circle), jinn particles, and how wonderful it is when the universe gives you a perfect season of television that doesn’t require a seas...
2025-06-0451 minBingeFestShrinking Seasons 1 & 2This week, we talk about Shrinking, the show where you find out what happens when a psychiatrist talks to you like a friend and tells you what they really think, with all kinds of consequences. (Plus Kate does some gushing about Harrison Ford’s performance.) Right in the middle of the conversation, Vinnie decides to have a fight about sitcoms, which we had been saving for another time, but which fits perfectly here. Give it a listen and weigh in. Is Kate being too harsh? Is Vinnie being too lenient? Inquiring minds want to know.
2025-05-2145 minBingeFestDoctor Odyssey Season 1This week, Vinnie judges Kate for hate-watching anything, and Kate judges Vinnie for watching dumb sitcoms like Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage and Fuller House. Together we judge Netflix for milking Stranger Things and Cobra Kai for all their worth, Ted Lasso for trying to come back for a fourth season, and medical shows in general, Doctor Odyssey in particular (except Kate actually loves this show which Vinnie totally judges her for).
2025-05-0751 minBingeFestSuperstore Season 1In this episode, we accidentally turn the show into a full-on production meeting and go all-in on advocating for the shingles vaccine. We also dive into a wild documentary about one of the world’s top three worst living people—Vince McMahon—before wrapping things up with the main event, Superstore, a series set in what’s basically your local Walmart. It shouldn’t work, but somehow, it totally does.
2025-04-2342 minBingeFestThe Umbrella Academy Season 4This week the main event is The Umbrella Academy and all its weird apocalyptic, superhero-y nonsense. We answer your pressing questions like, how is Klaus THAT lovable, how did this show produce NO stars, how did they do absolutely NOTHING with Viktor’s transition? We also talk about the Lady Dr. Who years and how adorable it now seems that people were pissed about a WOMAN having the temerity to portray a character that is essentially an alien. Plus Vinnie’s hopes for a good Terminator show crash and burn again, this time with the disappointing Terminator Zero. We do a...
2025-04-0947 minBingeFestPreacher Seasons 1 & 2This week we delve into the first part of the last season of Cobra Kai, the bullshit of some networks (looking at you, AMC) splitting last seasons into two instead of just paying the actors the money they deserve, and how disappointing Preacher was watching it now, versus how much we loved it when we were watching it week to week back in the day.
2025-03-261h 08BingeFestScott Pilgrim Takes OffWe cover a lot of territory in this episode including everything you could possibly want to know about Scott Pilgrim, the myth, the legend, the movie, the show, the comic, the remix. Plus, Kate puts her big girl pants on and allows Hannibal Lecter into her home, er, television.
Also, Beavis & Butthead, Daria, Presumed Innocent the Redux, and the Fanboy Special: Tron Uprising. As Bill Murray once said, you should be afraid to miss this.
2025-03-1244 minBingeFestFargo Season 5This week's show is unmissable! We talk about 90s hair and fashion, what Alison Mack has been up to since her days in the cult, that time Vinnie accidentally discovered Clarice, the approximately one billion shows Kate was binging when we recorded this (including Welcome to Wrexham, Fleabag, Doctor Who, and Trying), the UK version of Ghosts and, the piece de resistance, the glory that is Fargo.
2025-02-261h 17BingeFestReservation Dogs Season 3We touch on Abbott Elementary, Young Sheldon, Ghosts, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Night Country as our binge shows and, if that's not enough, we then dive into Reservation Dogs, which wrapped its final season in the most beautiful way. We don't hate-watch anything this week so tune in to hear us talk in detail about how incredibly awesome it was.
2025-02-1233 minBingeFestWhat We Do in the Shadows Season 5We recorded this 11 months ago so we’re talking about the last season of What We Do in the Shadows… not the actual last season, but the last season if you count the last season as this season, you know? We also chat about Newhart, Echo and the oversaturation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
2025-01-2941 minBingeFestWatchmenKate and Vinnie answer the question "Who watches the Watchmen?" (we do, all day long), and touch on Lessons in Chemistry, the utter magnificence of Fargo, the genius of Modern Family and the question of Alan Moore's sanity.
2025-01-151h 15BingeFestGilmore Girls Seasons 1 and 2On this episode of BingeFest we **** talk seasons one and two of the beloved Gilmore Girls, one of Kate's favorite shows ever, while Vinnie gets throat punched by COVID.
2025-01-0158 minBingeFestLois & Clark Season 1Kate and Vinnie kick off this new joyride by talking about Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman season 1 (spoiler alert, we shipped Clark's parents hard), as well as Good Bones and the Evil Dead movies (which, while camp now, scared the damn pants off Kate back in the day).
