See pcm.adswizz.com for...

mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com It's a new season and we are about to get HBO's highly anticipated The Last of Us adaptation. In anticipation I provide some background on the project and the reason I am so interested in it despite my general exhaustion with zombie stories.  But before that, I go recommendation crazy in reference to the new hit movie M3gan (which I have seen and mildly recom...

In preparation for next week's premier of Your Honor's second season. Sona and I discuss the ups and downs of the first season.  Then, I have many revelations during my very first rewatch of the first season of Breaking Bad. Timestamps: Breaking Bad - Season 1 rewatch - 37:00 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data...

Mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com A glimmer of hope for Toby, Rachel and Libby. A new start for Seth. The series ends beautifully. Let's hope the audience starts to show up.

mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com After some brief movie reviews; Avatar: The Way of Water, Glass Onion (Netflix) and The Banshees of Inisherin; Sona, Celia and discuss the year in our recaps and wrap up the episode with our recap of the seventh episode of Fleishman Is in Trouble.

Sona and I have some additional thoughts on the finale and overall season of The White Lotus.

mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Our instant reaction to this often thrilling and occasionally funny (but possibly disappointing) final episode to the season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Amazon Prime can be a bit of a content hole but there are many good shows to be found there. Here are just some that fans of The Peripheral may want to sample. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

We approach the end of the season with a mostly grim episode. At least Valentina has a happy birthday after an initial setback.  I briefly review the return of the British spy series Slow Horses on AppleTV+ and also have sampled the slight and mildly entertaining Three Pines on Amazon Plus. Plus we break down another excellent episode of Fleishman Is in Trouble on Hulu Hosted by Simplecast, an Ads...

A disappointing wrap up to the show but it does leave all those tantalizing questions open for exploration, next season, and there does seem to be a very good chance at a second season... although there has not yet been any announcement.  Then Nick, Ray and I geek out on the excellent season of Andor and also talk all things MCU (She Hulk, Black Panter 2, Guardians Christmas special). Hosted by Si...

mailto:needsdomeintroduction@gmail.com For whom does the bell toll? Seems like a lot of possibilities, this week. All the plots escalate. This is a moody episode as we nearly completely abandon comedy for what seems more and more likely to be a tragedy. Then we discuss the brilliant third episode of the FX/Hulu production, Fleischman is in Trouble. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm...

The latest episode of the show does not give me high hope for the finale. But first I mention some incredible streaming deals for Black Friday. Andor wraps up with a strong season finale and Celia and I review lots of recent releases and briefly discuss the end of an era as Atlanta wraps up, for good. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collectio...

A lot of middle, here, but we are still very curious as we begin our turn toward the endgame.  Then, we discuss our very positive reaction to the first 2 episodes of Fleishman Is in Trouble on Hulu. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This may be the worst episode yet although it does tease a potentially interesting subsequent episode. So much relies on the next two episodes. Then I review and spoil the new sci-fi series, 1899, on netflix and find surprising parallels to Don't Worry Darling. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertisin...

Ominous tides appear in the third episode of the season but for whom remains unclear. Everyone wants to be bad, this week, but only Cam really succeeds.  Then we discuss Olivia Wild's fascinating misfire, Don't Worry Darling, now available on HBO. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Maybe the best episode of the season, so far. Nonetheless, we keep adding new concepts without resolving existing questions. I'm hoping that doors begin to close, next week.   Then we discuss the Andor season up until this point, in preparation for the finale in two weeks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our...

mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Another very entertaining episode, this week. Is Greg cheating or are we misreading all of this? Does Albie really have this little game?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Flynne's got the cramps real bad and can't quit Halloween. Conner gets to run again. Lev watched Highlander one too many times and everyone goes to the weirdest cemetery/museum ever.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Sona has a much more positive initial reaction to the second season of the series than the first. I find myself actually interested in all of these characters.  Then I briefly review the excellent new thriller on Netflix, The Stranger. And Sona took my recommendation to watch Barbarian, on HBO, and she didn't love it.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information a...

Mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com   Is that my attention starting to drift or is it just my haptics.  Plus, my suggested episode list for Netflix's Cabinet of Curiosities anthology. Barbarian Spoiler Episode: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-ijhfj-12c6a3b   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com It's been a bumpy ride but we made it to the end. We have some complicated feelings now that we have gotten this far.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Let the dance of the dragons begin... Plus we recap and review the first two episodes of Amazon Prime's new Sci Fi show, The Peripheral Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Another mixed reaction to the show which just seemed to have found its rhythm. A lot happens but this show needs to do a lot of work to tie itself together in its final episode.  Then, given my family roots in Westfield NJ, I am very disappointed with the Ryan Murphy Netflix adaptation of the true story of The Watcher. I'm sorry if I got you to watch this......
