SO MUCH IS HAPPENING ON  GoT . And even though we said we don't even care, we totally lied apparently because now that it's back we can't stop thinking about it. Keep an eye out for parts 2 and 3 every other Friday until the season ends. Here are our thoughts on the first two episodes from how doomed Brienne of Tarth is to how dope Tormund is to things hop hop hopping into... well...    ALL CLIPS...

Ah, the great outdoors. We can't relate to that feeling, nor can basically any of the characters we're discussing today. Pitch your tent and tune in for two of our favorite camping episodes, some thoughts on  Shrill , and some musings on  Game of Thrones  (but not all of them! Check back tomorrow for a mini dedicated to the newest episode of HBO's most expensive series).   EPISODES:   Skins  3x08...

In this bonus episode, we address two series finales we care deeply about and have a LOT of feelings for! First,  Broad City and its iconic portrayal of millennial women, and then the perpetually under-appreciated  Crazy Ex-Girlfriend  and its smart and lovely handling of a thousand different characters and ideas.  Join us as we discuss our favorite Broad City episodes and finale moments, and then...

LET'S GO BACK. BACK TO THE BEGINNING. No one said it better than our queen Hilary Duff on  Metamorphosis.  We're heading back in time to see where it all began... or, uh, back 2.5 years at least.    EPISODES:    You're the Worst  1x09 "Constant Horror and Bone-Deep Dissatisfaction" (Sept. 11, 2014) VS. BoJack Horseman 4x11 "Time's Arrow" (Sept. 8, 2017)   TVWinnerPod@gmail.com . Insta/Twitter @TVW...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue... right? Well, we've got none of that here, but we DO HAVE two of our favorite television weddings ever. Get ready to walk down the aisle (or across the living room) and profess your love for these romantic and sometimes frustrating episodes.   EPISODES:   Parks and Recreation  3x09   "Andy and April's Fancy Party" (4/14/11) VS....

Hey, all! Unfortunately we were not able to get a full episode in the can for you today, BUT what we have instead is a cut segment from last week's episode! Listen to us talk about BLACK MIRROR: "BANDERSNATCH" and just SOME of the endings we experienced. Let us know what your Bandersnatch journey was like at @tvwinnerpod on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and email us at tvwinnerpod@gmail.com . ...

Hello, again! This week is all about what we're pretty sure is  actually the best homage episode of TV that has ever existed. Twin Peaks gets its due via its lil sibling Dual Spires, and Beth (who is writing this) realizes she royally beefed it and only just thought of a worthy competitor. Decision-making is hard! Anyway, take this cup of damn good cider and enjoy some cinnamon pie (metaphorically...

Grab your best bro and settle in — this week we're talking fights between dudes. We've picked two of our favorite examples of bro-on-bro smack-downs, and they're juicy to say the least. Let's do this, bruh.   EPISODES:  Crazy Ex-Girlfriend  4x13 "I Have To Get Out" (Feb. 8, 2019) vs.  Friends  4x08 "The One With Chandler in a Box" (Nov. 20, 1997) Get social with us!

Today we've got two different workplace competitions going on: Both involve mandatory fun, both involve contestants getting way too competitive, and both competitions are ultimately very meaningless. Let's talk about Soulstice Beach Games Day!   Episodes:    Broad City 3x03: "Game Over" [Hulu] vs.  The Office 3x23: "Beach Games" [Netflix]   Get social with us @tvwinnerpod on all the stuff. Email a...

THIS WEEK we're talking mockumentaries... but not shows that are, in fact, mockumentaries; shows that have an episode that is one. Does that make sense? We're not sure. Either way, we've picked two stand-outs from otherwise traditional shows that got in on the fake-doc goldmine and totally nailed it.   EPISODES:  Community 3x08 "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux" (May 10, 2007) vs. Unbreakable Kimmy S...

The only winner this week is you! Today we're talking all the little things that couldn't fill an episode on their own: cold opens, credits sequences, celeb cameos, music, and editing! It's all the little moments we love. Settle in, and get ready for a long (but fun) journey. Series discussed: Broad City , The Office , Vampire Diaries , Dawson's Creek , The O.C. , The Leftovers , 30 Rock , Sharp O...

While you wait to get paid, take a listen to this week's episode all about being Broke. We follow characters on a day's journey to make a buck. Are they successful? Who is Weezy? Can you trust Darius? Is that person shitting in a bucket? All these questions are answered--and more!--in the next 80 minutes. And hey, it's free.  Episodes: Yep, here we have our first show rematch! It's: Broad City 1x0...

Hello, lovebirds, this week we take a look at the often polarizing holiday that is Valentine's Day. Up top we cover the recent and impending end of Kimmy Schmidt and Broad City , as well as the absolute worst Valentine's Day episode we've ever seen. During our discussion of our episodes (which both coincidentally feature a main character hopped up on the dentist's goof juice) we discuss all things...

Ah! The first day at a new job. Can you feel the excitement in the air? We can. Awkward conversations with coworkers, misunderstandings about benefits, and confusion about job descriptions abound in this week's episode. Grab your work spouse, settle in, and enjoy! Episodes:  Schitt$ Creek 2x10 "Ronnie's Party" vs.  The Mary Tyler Moore Show  1x1 "Love is All Around"   Find us on social @tvwinnerpo...

  Where am I? Who are you? What are we doing? Don't fear, because we are going to tell you all of that in the next 80 minutes! In this episode we cover: coconuts, crows, evil twins and local asylums, the logistics of blackout drinking, the death penalty (yikes!!), couples who kill, addict logic, that cold D, a slayer's right to a fuckbuddy and which Black Mirror episodes we can't bring ourselves t...

We're watching YOU, Beck. Just kidding... but we are talking all about it! The little Lifetime show that could, YOU, is sweeping the internet (now that it's been acquired by Netflix, that is), and we have some THOUGHTS.   Tune in to hear 'em, and stay tuned for a new full episode on Thursday!   Email at TVWinnerPod@gmail.com . Find us on social media @TVWinnerPod. Find Beth @yourbeth_friend. Find...

Hello again! Please join us for the latest TV Winner installment, one which nearly rivals the absurdity and fantastic fever dreams of the episodes we discuss this week. We've got two different speed-induced fever visions, lots of noir style, some middling acting, a tap-dancing man, lots of lost time, a home invasion and  a coffee for fifteen cents. Join us!  A note: we do spend a good amount of ti...

This week is a bit of a sequel to last week. Here we explore the two-hander, which is a story featuring two characters who are often in one single space (like a bottle episode!) and almost always in conflict. Our chosen duos are two #HurtBaes with lots of baggage, and two former best friends - or is it workplace proximity associates? - who had a mysterious falling out. But, MOST importantly, this...

Welcome to our first real episode for the new year! This week we're talking about a classic and ubiquitous trope: the bottle episode. What happens when your favorite characters are all stuck in one room? We're going to find out. But, be warned, spoilers abound!   This week's episodes:  The Haunting of Hill House  1x06 "Two Storms" (Netflix) and  Doctor Who (Reboot) 4x10 "Midnight" (BBC, Available...

Well, well, well, 2018 has finally passed us by. Now it's time for a look back. This week, we take a break from competition to discuss our absolute favorite shows, characters, and thirst traps from the year gone by. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled program next week, but for now, relax, reminisce, and enjoy!   Agree with our picks? Disagree with them? Either way, send us an email at TVWinn...

Let's get crunk, fam! It's time for new year, new me. Resolutions, romantic shenanigans, and more await you in our final episode of 2018. Kiss this terrible year (and also 2008, and also 2010, I guess) goodbye with us as we discuss our favorite NYE episodes of all time. This week we talk the O.C. and the Office (two of our favorite discussion topics, for sure) and how they tackle a New Year's Eve...

Christmas time is here! We've got happiness and cheer from our third (!) visit to Greendale Community College, and our first walk into New York City 1988. We teach you how to celebrate Christmas (#HBDJesus) and we make sure you get those Patent. Leather. Red. Pumps. Oh, that we could always see such spirit through the year!    Episodes:    Community 3x10: Regional Holiday Music [Hulu] vs.  Pose 1x...

Today, we take a break from competition and turn our attention to the wintry holiday specials of the infamous SadBoi Charlie Brown. We've got Halloween , Thanksgiving , Christmas and New Years covered for you, complete with trivia and answers to the questions "are these children all neglected?" and "is Charlie Brown an asshole?" Don't miss out on it, blockhead.   Get social with us @tvwinnerpod on...
