And so it begins! Turns out that watching Original Sin has reshaped the way we are watching the original series. This is going to be fun!!

Just Josh'n #8: Cold Moon 19.02.2026 43:41

A really suspenseful little horror film that is structured a little differently than most. Josh puts in a great performance. Watch it first if you can!

The Year of Dexter: Original Sin 110 (Code Blues) and Recap 12.02.2026 1:23:29

We really want a Season 2. As of the end of 2025, it isn't going to happen :-(

The Insidious Franchise 10.02.2026 1:27:48

BRILLIANT

Sunday Show: Gubler is Back and Better than Ever! 08.02.2026 1:25:46

Matthew Gray Gubler: The Unauthorized Documentary “North of Juárez” We do our political stuff after the fluff :-)

The Year of Dexter: Original Sin: 107 (The Big Bad Body Problem); 108 (Business and Pleasure); 109 (Blood Drive) 05.02.2026 53:05

So are we going to actually like Brian???

Sunday Show: The Blacklist was a Pretty Good Show 01.02.2026 1:35:08

We might still be angry but this week we had some comedy relief - 3 million Epstein files. We also ask the question: "Is The Blacklist America's Vincenzo??

The Year of Dexter: Original Sin: 104 (Fender Bender); 105 (F is for Fuck-Up); 106 (The Joy of Killing)) 29.01.2026 1:21:10

Harry is just a monster. Training his own personal assassin. On the other hand, he obviously did a good job :-(

Sunday Show: The Best Episode of "Murder She Wrote"! 25.01.2026 1:25:23

If you want to avoid our political commentary and go straight to our defense of Season 4, Episode 2 as the best episode of "Murder She Wrote", it starts at 45:40.

The Year of Dexter: Original Sin 101 (And in the Beginning); 102 (Kid in the Candy Store); 103 (Miami Vice) 22.01.2026 1:12:30

The year of Dexter is finally here. We are pleasantly surprised by the 1st three episodes.

Just Josh'n #7: The Dark Knight Rises 15.01.2026 1:44:06

Who knew this was an adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities; Batman was Sidney Carlton, and Bane was Robespierre?

Sunday Show: Welcome to the 19th Century! 11.01.2026 1:14:04

Trigger Warning - This episode is largely a discussion of the murder ICE committed. And it's our analysis of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises on Thursday - apt companion to the 19th century.

Profiler: The Entire Show In Review 08.01.2026 2:20:15

Let's rank every single episode of Profiler! An extra long episode of PCM with little digression (!) Play along with us using the: Profiler Tiermaker: https://tiermaker.com/create/profiler-episodes-18581721

Sunday Show: Welcome to the 1970s 04.01.2026 1:15:18

With yesterday's news, Sheila feels like she has been thrown back in time to the 1970s and early 80s by the Wayback Machine! And not in a good way.

Profiler: 419 (Tsuris); 420 (On Your Marks) 01.01.2026 1:15:11

So it ended with a bang. Do we care that we didn't get a movie to solve the cliffhanger? Nope!

Pluribus Season 1 30.12.2025 1:27:19

Absolutely Fabulous! We can't wait for Season 2!

Sunday Show - The World's On Fire, Let's Hang Out 28.12.2025 1:05:18

This was last week's Sunday show! Sheila hasn't been on top of things this week. :-(

Profiler: 417 (Mea Culpa); 418 (Pianissimo) 25.12.2025 1:10:35

A real relief to watch some decent episodes and Jared is back!

Profiler: 415 (The Long Way Home); 416 (House of Cards) 18.12.2025 1:29:26

We ask one question after these two episodes: Were they written by the winners of a 2nd -year screen-writing course? Just asking!

Profiler: 413 (Proteus); 414 (Paradise Lost) 11.12.2025 1:06:05

Two episodes with serious problems. Dan had to watch the 2nd one twice to try to make sense of it!

Profiler: 411 (Random Act); 412 (Besieged) 04.12.2025 56:38

Happy that John gets a whole episode but we bemoan the lack of professionalism on the part of Rachel.

Sunday Show: The Simpsons had a Criminal Minds Crossover! 30.11.2025 1:11:55

You will also see Dexter, The Eras Tour, Hitman, Fast & Furious, and Just Cause Tributes. Is M. Night Shyamalan turning into a poor man's Quentin Tarantino?
