Show Club Podcast

Just a quick update to let you all know that, unfortunately, June got away from us, so there will be no episode. Don't worry, though, we will come back to The Mighty Nein in September. For July, Kerri has selected Taskmaster Series 19! We hope you all enjoy it. TRAILER: https://youtu.be/K_2xCORlP88?si=qpMZ6e4ZXO_VGlfa

It's time for more mystery and detecting as we discuss season 1 of 2012's Elementary. This is Rachael's favorite version of Holmes and Watson. Evelyn really enjoys it. And Kerri thinks it's perfectly fine. Still this is an overall recommendation from everyone and you should watch it if you haven't. We do love the fact that (spoilers) Holmes and Watson never cross the line into a romantic relations...

She's officially back in the MCU, so we go back and rewatch season 1 of Jessica Jones.  The casting for this series is really outstanding, especially David Tennant as the ultra-creepy Kilgrave.  Rachael's main complaint with this show is that everyone makes the worst decision at almost every turn. We did all find interesting how anti-climactic the ending and Kilgrave's death were, even though it s...

It might not be spooky season, but we're talking vampires anyway as we return to What We Do In The Shadows, season 1. BAT! We get into Matt Berry's AMAZING performance. The relationship between Nandor and Guillermo. The absolutely spot-on cameos of the vampires who make up the Vampire Council. And also the fact that these aren't regular vampires. These guys are just fucking idiots. Colin is intere...

It's time to head into the jungle to search for two missing kids as we discuss the Peacock (not Amazon Prime) original series, The Resort. There's love! Adventure! Mystery! What more could a girl want? While we disagree a little on how well the plot of the show works, we do agree that the acting is all around fantastic. It's very clear from the get-go who all of the characters are and what their r...

This month, we revisit season 1 of the Tom Hiddleston-led spy drama The Night Manager.  Overall, we really like this series. The casting is amazing, and it is a very interesting story. However, we would have liked to have seen more of the training Jonathan Pine went through and how his relationship with Angela Burr developed. Speaking of, his relationships with the women in the show and how he sed...

It's a romance with a Hot Priest this month as we discuss season 2 of Fleabag. And we have a special guest as our good friend Karen finally joins us for a conversation. Everything about this show is simply fantastic. The writing, the acting, the casting, it's all top-notch. The aggressive moisturizing the therapist does because she has dry forearms is so weird. Because dry elbows? Sure. But forear...

This month, we visit a world where people have superpowers as we discuss Hulu's Extraordinary. We mostly talk season 1 but we do get into season 2 a little bit. It's really fun to see all the powers people have. They really run the gamut from the expected of people who can fly or teleport to a guy who has a 3D printer ass.  It's such a fun and quirky show in that great British comedy vein. Kash mi...

Strap in, folks. This is our longest episode to date because there is A LOT to talk about with season 2 of Interview with the Vampire.  Unfortunately, Rachael had a hard time getting into this season because the actors were just not pretty enough. /sarcasm Though, it did honestly take Evelyn a few episodes to really get into it.  The only complaint any of us have is that Evelyn had a hard time con...

How would you survive if you had to live in a bunker? Find out as we discuss Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. We're gonna be honest, this conversation wanders a little bit but we still have fun! This show is just so fun and happy, which is a little odd considering the rather serious subject matter. We love how all of the characters are written. Especially Kimmy. It would be very easy to make...

Whodunnit?? This month, we podcast about a show that's about a podcast as we discuss Season 1 of Only Murders in the Building. Rachael and Evelyn really like this show. For Kerri, it was just okay. She would have preferred to be let in on what was actually going on earlier, and then watching the team figure it out would still have been engaging. We do like the relationship between Steve Martin, Ma...

Squid Game has finally come to an end with season 3 (2.5??). But was it satisfying? It certainly wasn't what we were expecting.  First of all, WHAT IS CATE BLANCHETT DOING IN SQUID GAME??? As awesome as that is and as much as there is potential for worldwide Squid Games, we don't need any more. We're good with this show being it. The VIPs are still just awkward, and they really don't need to speak...

We visit the Korean afterlife this month as we watch the 2022 Netflix K-Drama, Tomorrow. TRIGGER WARNING: This show deals heavily with themes of suicide and sexual assault. Please take care of yourself and skip this episode if those topics are troubling for you. However, given the very serious nature of the topics covered in this show, it is truly life-affirming.  The show handles all the subjects...

It's time to visit the future as we explore the moral and ethical ramifications of the digital afterlife with 2020's Amazon Prime series, Upload.  We discuss if we would upload, our feelings on the sex suits, and whether Nathan is being held hostage by Ingrid. Also, which scifi franchise has the best self-driving cars? Kevin Bigley (Luke) totally has BDE - Big DeLuise Energy. Nathan and Nora are j...

This month, we visit Hell's Kitchen as we discuss season 1 of Daredevil. It's an interesting take on a superhero show as we watch Matt wrestle with the moral and ethical arguments of what he's doing and if it's necessary. The casting of this show is pretty much perfect. Wilson Fisk might be one of the most compelling villains on TV. The fight scenes are so good because they don't happen just becau...

We return to happier times as we discuss season 1 of The Good Place. The casting for this show is totally on point. The writing across all the seasons is excellent.  Just as a heads up in case you haven't seen the entire series, we do discuss some plot points from later seasons. And if you haven't watched the whole thing, why not? Get on it! We discuss what would be in our Good and Bad Places. Wha...

This month, Rachael makes the girls watch the 2019 CW reboot Roswell, New Mexico. This is one of those shows where she didn't want to like being a big fan of the original (as Kerri and Evelyn are), but she did! Evelyn found it to be just fine. Kerri did not like this one at all. We all think it's a plus that the characters have been aged up out of high school. Plus, Claudia Black! It's always good...

We're kicking off 2025 (and season 2 of this podcast!) with Season 2 of the smash hit Squid Game. If we have any complaints, it's that this season ended on a cliffhanger. We think they did a great job keeping the emotional intensity in season 2 even though audience knows what's going to happen during the games. And, interestingly, one of the people we're following through the games is one of the s...

This month we're covering all three series of the BBC comedy Staged. Kerri and Evelyn love this. Rachael, not so much. But that could be because it is such a product of its time and circumstances that watching it as a new viewer now it just doesn't have the same impact.  The one thing everyone can agree on is that the guest stars are amazing! Samuel L Jackson? Dame Judi Dench? CATE BLANCHETT?!?! C...

This month we head to outer space with season 1 of The Orville. And if, for some reason, you're not a fan of this one then #blameitonthebag. As for us, it's a hit all around. Kerri had never seen it before but will continue watching the rest of the seasons.  This show has a way of commenting on current social and political issues without feeling preachy. And the guest stars! So many amazing guest...

It's spooky season, so Kerri made Evelyn and Rachael watch season 1 of the greatest show currently on television, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. This one is a hit across the board with everyone.  We talk a bit about the Rembrandt in Louis and Armand's dining room in Dubai and how it came to be in their possession. Evelyn wants to do a whole Ted Talk on Lestat and narcissism. We dive into...

This week we're doing it LIVE! Commentary style as we watch the 1988 classic Made For TV Movie Dance Til Dawn. This one has everything and everyONE you could want from an 80s movie. It's Prom Night! There are new dates, old dates, surprise dates! Apologies for the feedback sounds. We were working through some technical issues. It's been cleaned up as much as possible. We hope it's not too annoying...

Let's head back to 2008 and discuss season 1 of the cult classic, Fringe. This was an interesting conversation. Evelyn loves it (she picked it!), Rachael really likes it, but Kerri could not get into it. The pseudo-science was just too pseudo for her to get into. But given some of the things Evelyn and Rachael mention about later seasons, maybe she'll jump ahead a bit and see if she likes future e...

This month, we watched the 2022 K Drama Sh**ting Stars, which we're pretty sure is supposed to be Shooting Stars. But those asterisks are weird.  The show itself is an interesting commentary on fan culture and celebrity fixation. And it's also super cute and adorable. Tae Song and his driver coming up with ways for him to have a meet-cute with Han Byeol was one of the best things ever.  We do wish...

This month, the girls discuss season 2 of NBC's Hannibal. It's a hit all around, though there are some small things that annoy. The cast is absolutely amazing. It's visually stunning and even the sound design is on point. We debate if Hannibal has a moral compass, if he loves Will. And also how funny this show is. Rachael does wish we had watched this in October, though. Next month we will be watc...
