Broadcast Revisited

Happy spooky season! Carl and Kate dive into the iconic first season of Ryan Murphy's FX anthology series, American Horror Story, and share a few ghost stories of their own. [Pardon some syncing issues in the second half, the ghosts got into our mics!]

In this very special bonus episode, Kate is joined by Deb Duncan, comedian and cohost of Queer Movie Night, and artist and filmmaker Corie Anderson. Together, they're here to break down the spooky series that has sent the lesbian community into a tailspin: The Haunting of Bly Manor. SPOILERS A-PLENTY, so make sure you've watched! 

In Part 2, Kate, Carl, and Julia discuss the queerness of Mrs. Fletcher, from its depictions of kink to its exploration of trans identity via the character Margot (Jen Richards). We also discuss the importance of intimacy coordinators and give you a sneak peek at our upcoming Halloween episode! Once again, this episode is NSFW!

Kate and Carl welcome special guest Julia Masotti to dive into this 2019 HBO dramedy starring the inimitable Kathryn Hahn. Based on the novel by Tom Perotta (The Leftovers), Mrs. Fletcher follows an empty-nester on a journey of self-re-discovery and sexual liberation. NOTE: This episode is NSFW!

Kate and Carl dive in to the series' highest and lowest episodes, from a confused comment on the #MeToo era, to a complex portrait of two parents faced with an impossible choice. Part 2 covers episodes 5 through 8, as well as the show's surprising awards shut-out.

In 2018, Matthew Weiner returned to "television" with this 8-episode anthology series for Amazon. Carl and Kate made their way through all 639 minutes of this Russian novel-length series and are here to break it down. In Part 1, we cover episodes 1 through 4, from Aaron Eckhardt's irresistibility to Amanda Peet playing a grandmother. 

Carl and Kate make their predictions for the 2020 Emmy Awards! Topics include our favorites to win, dream casting The Crown, whether the Kominsky Method is a real show that exists, and SO much more. Listen now and watch for the winners Sunday at 8 ET on ABC!

Always tough to find out your husband has a wife in the attic. In part 2, Kate and Carl get into the Bertha of it all, the chemistry of our leads, and why this story still resonates today.

Carl and Kate take it to the BBC with 2006's Jane Eyre, starring Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens, directed by Susanna White. But of course, you can't talk about one adaptation without talking about them all.

In part 2, we explore the back half of the series aka The Margaret Qualley Show. Topics include: Miranda July performance art, the cameo of one Hamilton star, and as always, how utterly brilliant Michelle Williams is. Plus the announcement of our next series!

Who's got the pain? Anyone trying to compete against Michelle Williams' jaw-dropping performance in Fosse/Verdon. Kate and Carl dive in to this and more in part one of our discussion of the biggest who's-who of NY stage actors since SMASH.

Carl and Kate discuss the 2008 HBO miniseries John Adams starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney as America's second first couple. This 8-episode series was adapted from David McCullough's biography of the same name and went on to win 13 Emmys. But who can talk about the founding fathers without bringing up Hamilton, Cats, and Tiger King, am I right? 

Part 2 of our discussion of HBO's 2008 miniseries John Adams. In this episode, we talk about the back half of the series, 19th century surgery, Julia Styles, Amy Adams, how the series speaks to our current political climate, and of course, throw a bit more shade at Hamilton. Plus a sneak peek at our next episode!
