Talkin' TV

It's that time of the year again people! That time when WE get to do our top 10 lists. And by we, I mean me & Chris, the common folks, who are booting and rallying to continue to give you, the fans, the content that you deserve. Or just a wind tunnel for our own thoughts, but who really cares at this point. Chris & Dom break down the year of television that was 2022, from the streaming boo...

The year is officially started people with HBO's kick-off to their 2023 slate, as well as one of the most anticipated adaptations of the last few years with "The Last of Us." Based off the extremely popular Naughty Dog Video Game released in 2013, an film adaptation floundered in development hell before HBO finally got the rights to the game. The series was announced in 2020 from game creator Neil...

We're back people! After a much needed two weeks off in the post holidays craziness, we are back to a whole new year of content creation and fun! And we're kicking it off with one of what is hopefully a few surprises with an actually...creative Netflix original, Kaleidoscope! Eli Holicky once again joins Dom to talk about what might be the most inventive thing Netflix has done in a while, an eight...

And that's it! Another year, another season in the books people! Chris is back to talk to Dom about a sequel to one of their first ever podcast episodes from that legendary run back in 2019 when things felt so fresh and cool when things felt so new and not bogged down in pandemic hell...and it now belongs to Netflix. Greaaaaaat. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a sequel to 2019's Knives Out, w...

Happy post holidays everyone! Only 2 days left of 2022, and since our recording schedule this holiday season has been a bit rocky, I'm doing something a little different this year. We will be doing a two part Season 4 finale, which is ironic because our midseason finale back in June also featured this guest for half and then Chris for the second part. We're releasing Babylon today with Nathaniel,...

A movie 13 years in the making. Literally. Eli joins Dom once again to talk about James Cameron's long awaited sequel to his massive blockbuster success, "Avatar: The Way of Water." After a lot of deliberation, waiting for certain special effects and technology to be perfected, working around actor's respective schedules, then the easy task of shooting two movies back to back, we finally have a se...

It's that time, people! With only three weeks left in the year of 2022, we're here to start breaking down the awards bait movies, and we're starting with one that may have gotten a little overhyped, but not for the reasons you may think. Kristen aka Ms. Filmingo joins Dom to break down the new Darren Aronofsky movie, the comeback vehicle for one Brendan Fraser, the Whale. Adapted from a stageplay...

What's going on guys! It is December, and we are officially about to wrap up 2022! It's been quite a year, emerging from a pandemic, getting things slightly back to normal, having Tom Cruise single handedly save the box office. Dustin "The Duster" Mason joins Dom to break down 2022 as a year in comparison to previous years, as well as breaking down some of the movies of the last couple months that...

Happy Post-Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your turkey day, as we begin the countdown to the end of the year! And what better way to spend the holidays than with family, eating lots of food, and watching a nice family movie. Because that's exactly what legendary director Steven Spielberg's latest film "The Fabelmans" is, a nice family film about a kid who falls in love with movies and...

What's going on everybody. On today's episode, Dom is joined once again by his old friend Eli Holicky, the second resident TV expert, to break down the latest peak TV show from a network that nobody expected, that being Paramount's "Yellowstone." The show is currently airing its 5th season on the show, having premiered back in 2018. Created by Taylor Sheridan, a former actor who moved into scriptw...

Oh boy, here we go. This was always going to be a tough one for a variety of different reasons, the least which being Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing. But somehow, someway, with everything possibly going against them, Ryan Coogler and team pulled off a movie that should not have worked as well as it did. The truth is that Wakanda Forever might just be one of the best the year of 2022 has to offe...

Well this is one that none of us were expecting. Chris & Dom sit down to break down the Roku Original, "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" a fictionalized biopic of the titular parody musician who was made famous for making style pastiches of songs but changing the lyrics, usually in a polka fashion with his famous accordian. This movie takes all the tried and true music biopic bits and throws them...

Happy Halloween everyone! The timing on the release of this episode sure worked out nicely! We're here to talk about one of our favorite times of the year, that of course being Halloween! The time where the spookiness comes out, mostly in people's costumes, and where we get to talk about and watch some of our favorite movies! Dom & Chris break down some of their favorite Halloween stories, som...

Lo & Behold, we actually have a DC movie worth talking about. After arguably the most tenuous year the company has ever had, being bounced around from AT&T to Discovery, to cutting half their planned content, to delaying more of their upcoming movies, to behind the scenes problems with stars, DC finally has a movie that we can safely say is a fun movie to watch, and that is "Black Adam." S...

Well, another of Chris' favorite franchises scorched to the ground. We're here today to talk about Halloween Ends, the final installment in the Blumhouse trilogy of Halloween movies, directed by David Gordon Green and written by him and Danny McBride. They act as the third official reboot of the franchise, wiping out the rest of the Halloween canon and following Laurie Strode as she attempts to mo...

Well, all things come to and end. We had a great run recapping every minute of this show, and it worked well, not only because we got a Game of Thrones prequel that coincided with the last couple episodes of this podcast, but also because it seems that fantasy storytelling is making a huge comeback across all mediums. Between the Witcher and the Sandman on Netflix, His Dark Materials on HBO, Dune...

Well, lo and behold, we have a Star Wars show worth talking about again. It's been a rough year for one of our favorite franchises to say the least, with Book of Boba Fett & Obi-Wan Kenobi proving to be less than stellar, but things seem to be right again with the latest installment from Disney+ & Lucasfilm, "Andor." This prequel to a prequel follows the pursuits of Cassian Andor, played o...

We've arrived. Not quite to the finale, but only one more week of Talkin' Thrones before we wrap up the legacy of Game of Thrones and officially determine whether the problems of this final season were enough to torch the legacy. The Long Night wrapped up the army of the dead, and then the Last of the Starks set up a seasons worth of conflict that then had to be resolved in 2 episodes. And we arri...

It's the battle of the B's as we kick off October. With only 3 months left in 2022, Dom is joined once again by his good friend Joe of Guy at the Movies to talk about two of the movies that dropped this weekend, that being Bros from Nicholas Stoller, Billy Eichner & Judd Apatow; and Blonde from Andrew Dominik. Bros is directed by Nicholas Stoller and stars Billy Eichner. It is the fourth LGBTQ...

Well we survived the Long Night (somehow), and are now onto the final three episodes of the show? Wait, I thought the dead were the end all, be all? There's more? Is the thought process that everyone had when the living were victorious at Winterfell in only the third episode of what was already the shortest season of the show. It's safe to say that if people weren't already aware the show was in t...

It's finally here. The most anticipated behind the scenes mess of a movie since...probably the Alec Baldwin thing? Don't Worry, Darling is the second feature film from Olivia Wilde from a script by her writing partner Katie Silberman, based off a script by Dick Van Dyke's grandchildren. The film features an all star cast including Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Wilde, Nick Kroll, Gemma Chan, Kiki La...

We're reached it people. The point where things really started to go wrong. Dom & Pat break down the long awaited episode "The Long Night," the eponymous fight that pits all of our heroes up to this point fighting with the Night King's army of the dead at Winterfell. Directed by Miguel Sapochnik in his first episode since the season 6 finale, this episode was interestingly received when it was...

Dom is joined by his "Euphoria" co-podcaster Josh Markland to break down the return of the final season of FX's critically acclaimed show "Atlanta." Created by, executive produced and starring Donald Glover, the show follows Glover's Earn, a Princeton dropout, as he manages his cousin Al aka Paper Boi's (Brian Tyree Henry) up and coming rap career in Atlanta, Georgia, along with Al's friend and re...

We're coming down to the wire with Season 8, Episode 2, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms." Often cited as a lot of people's favorite episode of this season, it acts as a calm before the storm in a few senses. This is the last episode of the series written by Bryan Cogman, the only other writer besides Benioff & Weiss to write episodes for all 8 seasons. Jaime has arrived at Winterfell and is al...

Chris is back! After a long period, Chris the TV Nerd makes his return to the show to discuss the latest season of a Talkin' TV favorite, Cobra Kai! What started out as a Youtube Original (and a joke on How I Met your Mother) turned into one of Netflix's biggest acquisitions and hits when they acquired the rights in 2020. We're now on Season 5. Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffin) who made his return...
