Hunting Seasons - A TV Podcast

Liam returns to fill in for a globe-trotting Damask as he and Brod put the second season of Please Like Me under the microscope. Approximately a year has past since Aunt Peg's funeral and things have definitely changed. Josh has moved back in with Tom and new housemate Patrick. Geoffrey is nowhere to be seen and, for that matter, neither is Claire. Instead, Niamh is somehow seeing Tom again and Al...

NOTE: The original version of this episode contained a few audio glitches. This is a re-uploaded version which should be glich-less. Sorry for the inconvenience! - BrodWhen the Damask is away the Gordes mice will play. Brod's brother Liam jumps in while Ms Leary is on vacation to talk about one of their favourite shows in recent years, Australian dramedy 'PLEASE LIKE ME'. Created, written by&...

Damask is getting ready to fly away for a month, but not before we watch and discuss the second seasons of LOUIE. Looking a bit slicker and feeling a little more confident, Louis CK continues from where he left off, sharing new stories of a parenting, living in New York City and working his way through the stand-up comedy scene. Also, for the first time ever, we answer your listener ques...

Since Brod was allowed to gush about Avatar for 3 episodes, it's only fair that Damask get to chose the first show from our 'Recommend' category. In doing so, she has treated Brod to one of her favourite shows (which he has tragically not watched before), the Netflix original series ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. Based on the memoirs of a true-life ex-inmate, ORANGE begins as Piper C...

Though the shame of quitting Twin Peaks still hangs over us, Hunting Seasons presses-on to the next item on the 'Must Watch' list: LOUIE. Created, written, directed and starring prolific stand up comic Louis C.K., Louie is a series of semi-autobiographical short stories (almost skits) about the divorced middle-aged lead living in New York City and trying to make his comedy care...

We are back and rising from the ashes of whatever that was last week. This episode Hunting Seasons travels back to the now to discuss the latest project from the unendingly talented Donald Glover. 'Atlanta' is an american TV series exploring the lives of Earn and 'Paper Boi', a pair of African-American cousins trying to make it big in the rap scene. With a setting and topics like these, Brod and D...

Breaking Bad is done and dusted, so it's finally time to jump into a new show from our 'Must Watch' category. This week Brod, Damask and special guest Loren de Jong head to the sleepy little town of Twin Peaks, where trees are majestic, the people are mysterious, and the coffee is damn fine. With a new season arriving soon, what will our host make of this 25 year old cult classic? Will they be dra...

Hunting Seasons isn't just about old shows! It's about the new, shiny hotness too! This week Damask and Brod take on the first show in their 'Currently Airing' category, the reasonably new (ie: started last year) hit HBO show Westworld! Set in a futuristic wild west theme park full of alcohol, violence, adventure and a whole lot of mechrophilia, Westoworld tells the story of...actually, lets...

Defying all odds, Brod and Damask have made it through the complete series of Breaking Bad. Joining them for this momentous podcast is Brod's little brother Liam, who is pretty much the main reason they decided to watch and discuss this show first. With only 8 episodes left can Breaking Bad stick the landing and end on a high, or have the writers jazz-written themselves into a corner with no...

For the third and final time (at least until a sequel series arrives...) Brod and Damask visit the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe for Book 3: Fire! When last we left the Fire Nation had control the Earth Kingdom and Avatar Aang was seriously injured. Things look grim for the Aang Gang, but hope is not completely lost. They have a plan to end the 100 Year War once and for all, but will Aa...

Lets just be upfront about it, Damask and Brod did not like the ending of Breaking Bad Season 4. With one season (slash two half seasons) to go, can Vince Gilligan and his writers get our hosts back on board before the impending finale? With Gus Fring out of the picture, a power vacuum has been left in his wake, and Walter White thinks he is just the one to fill it. He can't do it alone,...

Damask and Brod return to the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender for the Empire Strikes Back season of the series, Book Two: Earth! Aang and the gang head to the Earth Kingdom looking for allies and a plan to bring an end to the 100 Year War, while Zuko and Iroh, now exiles, try to make a new life for themselves and escape the ghosts of their past. It's a season of new friends, most notably the b...

Brod and Damask are officially past the half-way mark of Breaking Bad! Jessie and Walt have done the unthinkable to buy themselves some time, but they need a long-term plan if they are to survive the drug lord Gus Fring. Season 3 provided fantastic storytelling and a tantalising cliffhanger, but was the fourth season able to take full advantage of this momentum and satisfy our hosts rave...

And now for something completely different! In an effort to wash out the stale waffle taste that is Dead Like Me, Brod and Damask move onto their Rewatch category to talk about one of their all-time favourite series. Avatar: The Last Airbender is an animated Nickelodeon show about a world where a few gifted people are able to manipulate the elements of water, earth, fire and air, and the...

After season 2, Damask and Brod are firmly on the Breaking Bad bandwagon, but will season 3 continue to impress and rise to heights worthy of it's enormous praise? The story picks up with Walt facing seperation from Skylar, Jessie trying to claw his way out of a particularly low place after a tragic death, and the inclusion of regular cast members Giancarlo Esposito as Gus...

Brod and Damask wade back into the murky waters of the 'Cancelled' category to watch the second and (thankfully) final season of Dead Like Me, the show about life after death that turned out to be dead on arrival. Join our hosts as they meticulously sift through the charred remains of this train wreck and perform an insightful autopsy to determine exactly what killed a show with such a p...

After not being totally blown away with season one, Brod and Damask jump back into Breaking Bad for it's extended second season. Walt and Jessie, now firmly entrenched in the meth business, face all new challenges, and learn that if they want to thrive, or even just survive, they're going to need a little help. This season Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn are joined most not...

In the first 'Cancelled' category episode of Hunting Seasons Brod and Damask blindly dive into a well regarded but shortlived cult "comedy". Showtime's Dead Like Me Season One, created by the prolific TV writer Bryan Fuller and starring Ellen Muth and Mandy Patinkin, follows the death and afterlife of Georgia 'George' Lass, an 18 year old college dropout who is killed by a...

In the premiere episode of Hunting Seasons Brod and Damask start with the first show in their 'Must Watch' category, and the show they've been told they absolutely need to see more than any other. AMC's Breaking Bad Season One begins the story of Walter White, a chemistry teacher who turns to cooking meth when he is diagnosed with cancer, and his partner Jesse Pinkman, a burnout ex-stude...
