Pop Culture Role Call

Welcome to episode 2 of Angel, folks! The new crew makes a few visits to a local club/gala looking for... something? What they find is an ancient evisceration demon and an undercover cop. One of the two gets chucked into a flaming barrel and then shot a bunch of times. Thanks for listening!

It's time, folks! The gang sits down for season 1 episode 1 of Angel. We get the backstory of our titular lead, just in case you aren't privy to the specifics. But, we are quickly thrown into the first confrontation with a rich, vampire dirt bag. Luckily, he fails his flying lesson and won't be around to terrorize the good citizens of LA. Thanks for listening!

Murder, conspiracy, treachery, woe....this week the gang takes a movie break with the brutally beautiful Repo! The Genetic Opera. It might have been a critical flop and a box office bomb, but, it won our hearts. Next week is Angel season 1 episode 1! Thanks for listening and spreading the word.

Thank you to everyone who sent in questions for the Firefly/Serenity wrap-up episode this week! The gang talks character arcs that were and character arcs that could have been. Listen next week for a movie break: "Repo! The Genetic Opera". Then, onwards to Angel!

Hello and welcome to the last little bit of Firefly content, Serenity! This week, the gang dips into the film that ended it all. With a 50% mortality rate and some creative liberties being taken with character development, how does this stack up to the story we have been experiencing over the last few months? Send us your questions for the Firefly/Serenity wrap-up next week because we have some st...

Welcome to the last full episode of Firefly, lovely listeners! River's loose grip on reality combined with a loaded gun makes for a tense moment. Matters are made worse by the appearance of Early, an assassin with a complex or two. Everyone (minus Jayne) works together to purge this bad dude from their home and smooth over their rocky relationship. Thanks for listening!

Hello lovely listeners! The crew of Serenity sets down on a dusty planet to help one of Inara's old friends, Nandi. A local villain is trying to steal a baby from one of Nandi's employees. But, we are here to make sure villains die and babies stay safe with their loving mothers. Well, Jayne is here to engage in sex and be generally vile. The rest of us are here to help and stuff. Thanks for listen...

Happy Wednesday, folks! This week Mal and the crew are tasked with transporting some precious cargo, the body of a former friend and soldier. I mean, it's not a "dead" body. Well, it looked like one initially and then was one eventually... it's complicated. Oh, and the PCRC hosts drop a hint for the next show!

Hello listeners! It's heist 2.0 this week when Saffron pops up out of nowhere (based on our scenes), with a new attitude and a plan to steal a cool gun! Book says nothing, Jayne threatens to expose himself, and Wash flies the ship like a leaf on the wind. Summer and the good Dr.? They call a bluff.

Hello and welcome to the torture episode! Wash (the best character) puts his foot down this week and DEMANDS to go on a mission with Mal. Turns out, he is feeling a little jealous of Mal and Zoe's ability to bond over war stories. One thing leads to another and both our boys find themselves being electrocuted by Niska and his goons. Thanks for listening!

Hello there listeners! Welcome to the heist episode with just a sprinkling of medical horror. Simon comes to the crew with a medical caper which he can also use as an excuse to future-scan River's brain. But we had a Benedict Arnold in the party. Thanks for listening!

Hello, lovely listeners! This week, Mal and crew are up shit creek due to some mechanical failures (don't blame Kaylee). In fiction we are trying to survive and doing an... OK job. In reality, this is one of them "flashback episodes" where we get vignettes about how Mal met his original crew. Thanks for listening!

It's episode 8 this week, folks! Sing it with me: "He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor. Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for. Our love for him now ain't hard to explain. The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!" Thanks for listening!

This week, Captain Reynolds and Mrs. Captain Reynolds (Saffron) deal with a rocky first day of matrimony. Partly because the good captain doesn't 100% remember getting married, partly because Saffron keeps kissing and/or kicking the crew. But, hey, every marriage takes a bit of work, ya know? Thanks for listening!

Time to learn a bit more about the renegade siblings, Simon and River! The brother/sister genius duo find themselves kidnapped this week by a town of folk needin' a doctor. Which is pretty chill, all things considered. Unfortunately, the chill doctorin' turns into a witch trial quicker n' you can slap a cow. Thanks for listening!

Howdy listeners! I wish we could give you a vague overview of the main plot for this week's episode. Unfortunately, though, none of us were there. Mal got cut by a sword and Kaylee got a sweet pink dress. Something about a duel? Anyway, the rest of us had a pretty uneventful time on the ship playing "cards" for chore coupons. Thanks for listening!

Welcome aboard, listeners! This week we go on a spooky salvage mission. Turns out it wasn't engine trouble after all. The alliance is snooping around us snooping around, and they have some pointed questions. Thank goodness Wash is there to clear things up. Thanks for listening!

This week on Firefly Mal and the crew do one of those classic "train jobs" you hear so much about. I wish I could tell you some fun specifics, but we watch the show in kind of a weird way. All we know is that the moral grey of the job got a little too real and the crew is about to make some powerful enemies. More than we already have. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to episode 2 of Firefly! Larry the Lawman is being a real jerk and gets tossed. Jane pushes the boundaries of him and Mal's work/friend relationship, Book has a crisis of faith, and River wakes up in a strange metal box. Luckily, we have a great pilot who can fly this ship under duress, because we are definitely under duress. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to episode one of Firefly! This week the gang all slap cowboy hats on their heads and make for The Black as they explore this new universe. Well, the conscious ones do anyway. Adventure awaits anyone with a good crew, a reliable ship, and a job that pays. Thanks for listening.

This week the gang says a heartfelt goodbye to the sestras. Thank you to everyone who joined us as we took a journey through Orphan Black! Your support was amazing and your finale questions were perfect. We hope you will join us next week as we kick off our next show, Firefly! Thanks for listening, as always.

Goodbye season 5! In this week's wrap-up we talk through the last episodes of Orphan Black. We take audience questions and re-visit all of our many incorrect predictions from seasons past. Email us any questions you have for the series wrap-up next week! Thanks for listening.

And with this, Orphan Black comes to an end (minus the season AND series wrap-up episodes). Helena welcomes her two beautiful, sand-eating boys into the world. Sarah looks to her future as a mother and a sistra, trying to order her life now that Ms. S isn't in it. There is too much to cover in one paragraph so we will discuss it in length next Wednesday! Thanks for listening.

Howdy, listeners! It's the penultimate episode of season 5 (we think) and the penultimate episode of the whole show (most likely). We don't know how, or why, but Ms. S never made it past the opening credits. Luckily, Sarah has broken Helena out of The Dyad and if anyone can dispense revenge/justice it is her. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 5 episode 8, folks! Everyone's favorite brother is back from doing recon and is ready to present his new gallery, themed on the sistras. Hopefully, Sarah and Ms. S can figure out their drama before Felix's art suffers because of the distraction. Now, we just need to get Kira back (again, again..) Thanks for listening!
