Pushing Daisies 2.12 "Water and Power" & 2.13 "Kerplunk" | DaisyChatz 12 20.08.2018 1:40:17

The facts were these: All good things inevitably come to an end, and so the two Chatz hosts close the book on yet another season of television. Found within are meaningful meditations on love, analysis of character arcs ending, and that indefatigable optimism that keeps us going. We'll see you for the next show, friends.

Pushing Daisies 2.10 "The Norwegians" & 2.11 "Window Dressed to Kill" | DaisyChatz 11 12.08.2018 1:24:28

The facts were these: When the tables turn on the Pie Holers, Olive continues to stand out as the most relatable of the bunch. Meanwhile, a rhino flips over some cop cars, a figure from the past returns, and the Chatz hosts begin to suspect that the Pushing Daisies writing team maybe didn't know their show was getting canceled soon...

Pushing Daisies 2.08 "Comfort Food" & 2.09 "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy" | DaisyChatz 10 05.08.2018 1:27:10

The facts were these: a discomforting fried chicken murder plot disappoints our hosts, while a lighthouse murder mystery is overshadowed by this show's darkest, most poignant subplot yet. It's a heavy one this week on DaisyChatz.

Pushing Daisies 2.06 "Oh Oh Oh...It's Magic" & 2.07 "Robbing Hood" | DaisyChatz 09 29.07.2018 1:05:13

The facts were these: A cameo-filled magic palace murder mystery impresses Allen and Magellan in its ability to stick to the show's themes, while a fairly rote crime of passion barely registers a pulse. These are the ways things go, dear Chatz listeners.

Pushing Daisies 1.07 "Smell of Success" & 1.08 "Bitter Sweets" | DaisyChatz 04 24.06.2018 53:41

Things get positively saccharine on DaisyChatz this week, and our faithful podcasters wax poetic about Paul Reubens, Aunt Vivian's singing, and make the first ever comparison between Pushing Daisies and a certain primetime Fox cartoon about an average American family...
