Hunting Seasons - A TV Podcast

Brod and Damask have been on the hunt for a show that explores the mind of a psychopathic serial killer in new and interesting ways, and boy did they hit the mark. Funny, clever, sexy, and intense, KILLING EVE Season 1 introduces us to Eve Polastri as she steadily builds an unhealthy fascination with a female assassin who may just reciprocate. Is this sexy spy drama a clean kill or a messy st...

Ever wished someone would combine the world of HBO’s GIRLS and NANCY DREW? Really? You did? Huh. Well, weirdo, today is your lucky day! In the first season of SEARCH PARTY, Dory and her friends investigate the mysterious disappearance of a ‘suggested friend’ on Facebook. Being a millennial is so much fun that even abusive exes, adultery, cults, mental illness, and murder are all just a whacky...

Ever felt stuck? Sick of your job? Ready to put it all behind you and follow your dreams? Meet Barry, a wannabe actor who just just wants to escape his dead-end job! And by dead-end, I mean literally killing people for money. This week Brod and Damask step into Bill Hader's BARRY. Is this a Broadway smash or high school production you are forced to sit through out of some stupid loyalty...

Damask is back and so are the boys and girls of ATLANTA. We rejoin the gang at the dawn of 'Robbin’ Season' with everyone right where we left them; Earn sleeping in a storage shed and 'Paperboi' Alfred smoking up on his couch. Season one was a unique, often strange but consistently hilarious feat of television, is there any way 'Robbin' Season' can match what came before? Yes, and then some....

Sound the alarm, Damask has gone missing! Thankfully Kyran Morrison of the Dialogue Options video game podcast joins Brod to discuss this weeks main topic: the Australian TV adaptation of PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK. Does the series justify it's existence in light of the much loved 1975 Peter Weir classic, or should this series disappear into the bush, never to be seen again? Listen and know!   TI...

What do you remember most about high school? Teenagers with the physique of Men's Health cover models? A persistent, sickly sweet scent on the air? The ongoing murder investigation of a possibly incestuous twin? If so, you may find this show very nostalgic! This week Joachim Coghlan joins Damask and Brod to grade RIVERDALE season one.   TIME CODES Off Topic/Hot Topic - 00:02:00'Riverdale: Season 1...

Blood, guts, and designer dresses. It’s time to explore American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace. This week Brod and Damask are joined by the wonderful Lauren Jankovskis. They need all the help they can get, because behind all the glamour and nineties fashion there is a whole lot of horror.   TIME CODES Off Topic/Hot Topic - 00:01:09 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace: Amer...

Who can forget Johnnie Cochran’s famous line, “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must whip it.”  Wait, no, I don’t think that’s right… Either way, this week Damask and Brod exhume and examine American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson. Will they love it as much as Rob Kardashian loves saying “Juice” or will they hate it as much as America hated Marcia Clarke’s hair, face and personality? OH, and...

Robots, sociopaths, and family dynamics! There’s a lot to explore in season 1 of Lost in Space. But the most pressing issue is how high can Parker Posey’s hair get before it collapses in on itself? This week Brod and Damask are joined by the incredible Cameron Williams known for his work on Vice, ABC Radio, Junkee, Buzzfeed and a whole lot more!   TIME CODES Off Topic/Hot Topic - 00:07:34'Lost In...

After five long seasons we've finally reached the end of THE WIRE. Damask and Brod head back to the streets of Baltimore for one more lap…or, they would if the police department had any money to fix their busted cars. Yes, this final season introduces the big bad guy that will bring down all of law-enforcement and print media in one fell swoop: budget cuts. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN!   TIME CODES Of...

Season 1 of The End of the F***ing World is just like every other teen drama. You know how it goes: two teenagers drawn together, navigating the turbulent waters of young love. She is a rude, angry outsider while he is a psychopath who wants to kill her in a gory fashion. That old chestnut. Join Brod and Damask as the sink their teeth into the this edgy show with a bi...

In the tradition of The Breakfast Club, Mean Girls, and High School Musical, season 4 of THE WIRE looks at the lives of teenagers. And if you thought the political and legal systems in Baltimore were bad, just wait until you see the education system. Nothing says fun quite like a show focusing on the degradation and devastation of whole generations. Come join the discussion!   TIME CODES Off Topic...

This is it, make or break time. Brod and Damask have stuck with the Marvel/Netflix TV universe through thick and thin, but recent releases have pushed morale to an all time low. Can JESSICA JONES Season 2 deliver the same quality as season one and bring these super-powered serials out of the darkness and into our hosts' favour? Take a long deep breath of you ability enhancing asthma...

We’re no longer sitting on the dock of the bay in season 3 of The Wire, instead we’re back chasing after the elusive Stringer Bell and the Barksdale Crew. Can McNulty get his man or will he spend his whole life chasing his tail? Can Major Colvin make real change or will the world of politics destroy his hard work? And most importantly, will we get to perv on Lieutenant Daniels’ beautiful body? Ser...

THE GOOD PLACE has changed forever but has it been for the better? Will this bold new take on the sitcom format yield favourable results, or will shaking up the formula blow-up in Michael Schur's face? Brod and Damask are joined once again by graphic designer and all-round great guy Sean Kirkpatrick to examine the data. TIME CODESOff Topic/Hot Topic - 00:02:12'The Good Place Season 2' Sp...

It's time to get the band back together! After putting away some drug dealers, Baltimore's best boys on the beat head to the docks to sniff out some good-ol' blue collar crime. The expert policin' is as engrossing as ever (especially if you're a fan of Windows XP era cargo tracking programs), but can this new nest of wharf workin' do-badder's compare to last season's loveable lot fr...

After a first half full of potential but lacking in character, Brod and Damask return to STAR TREK: DISCOVERY to find our nobel crew lost in a very strange place indeed. Part 2 of Season 1 asks all the big questions. Can the writers finally moved past this less than engaging Klingon War? Would a whole slew of fun new ideas be enough to give this show new life? Is it possib...

Listen up, nerds! Brod and Damask are taking the train to THE GOOD PLACE. And while they don’t have Janet around to help they were able to wrangle someone just as knowledgeable, Sean Kirkpatrick. Will this trio judge The Good Place worthy of its name? Or will they condemn it for all eternity to a life of eating spiders and watching college improv? TIME CODESOff Topic/Hot Topic - 00:03:34'The...

WE'RE BACK! After an extended Australian summer break, Brod and Damask return to tackle one of the greatest TV show of all time. No, not NCIS. Not Big Bang Theory. Not The Voice. Not Fuller House. All of those choices are terrible! We're talking about THE WIRE, you idiot. With the body count in Baltimore rising the Bad News Bears of police task-forces, rule-breaking h...

Look at that! Somehow, nearly a year after starting the podcast, Hunting Seasons has made it to 50 episodes! Damask and Brod have watched a LOT of television, some good, some not so good, some down-right awful. To celebrate this milestone and see off the podcast for 2017, our hosts are jumping into a show also celebrating a milestone; FIREFLY. Famous for it's premature cancellation and p...

This week Damask gets together with special guest Loren de Jong to talk about lady things like… sexual servitude, gender roles, dystopian civilisations, and fighting the patriarchy. That’s right, we’re talking about The Handmaid’s Tale! Come join us as we fight the power and become carpet munching gender traitors!

We know. We said we wouldn't do it, yet here we are. Due to popular demand and a lack of self respect Damask and Brod are giving Marvel and Netflix one more shot. Does the gritty, gory and grunty THE PUNISHER aim true, or are we once again victims of a misfire? Join our hosts as they sift through the carnage to bring you a thorough and detailed postmortem.

After 12 long years Gene Roddenberry's bright vision of the future returns to television (well, streaming services, but isn't that just what TV is now?) with STAR TREK DISCOVERY. Set a decade before Kirk famously captained the Enterprise, DISCOVERY explores a Star Fleet, typically wardens of peace and prosperity in the galaxy, at war with the Klingons. Is this bold ne...

18 months after serving up it's first season on Netflix, The AFI, Peabody and Emmy award winning MASTER OF NONE returns with a freshly cooked batch of amusing observations, awkward dating anecdotes and envy inducing location shoots. Aziz Ansari once again stars as Dev Shah, a man on a mission to overcome heartache, find new love and learn how to make pasta! Did Damask and Brod find...

Aziz Ansari's debut sitcom/dramedy MASTER OF NONE exploded onto our computer and TV screens as a critical darling. The show ventures into the life of a millenial who's dealing with first dates, pasta-making, broken condoms, stereotypes, gender issues, and heartbreak. There are a whole lot of topics to cover that create an unforgettable show. But is the scope of the first season too broad? Or is Ma...
