The Apple of Truth: Podcast

SEASON ONE FINALE ALREADY??? Time does fly when you're having fun! This week we debate in detail Richard's lute, Madalena's garden, also Madalena's feet and we can't forget Isabella's brain. Truly, it is one for the books, including the gifs, so get them down, and if you're missing any gifable moments from the season, please contact us on our socials: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftr...

This was a wild ride - Vero managed to break Lina several times, Lina had to deal with some excessive hayfever (sorry for the breathing) and both of us had a lot of opinions and grounds for lengthy debates. We also agreed on a lot of material for our summoning episode (so that is something to look forward to) and just keep on being enthusiastically obsessed with this show! This is the video Lina m...

For us, this may be the weakest episode yet, but that doesn't mean we didn't have fun! Lina has the time of her life gushing over her favourite song of the series, and Vero gets to nerd about the music and choreography in general. And yes, obviously Vero manages to plug yet another one of her favourite musicals. Other than that, the show yet again adresses at least one annoying trope and we walk a...

The 5th episode has us laughing a LOT while recording, Vero manages to blow Lina's mind, Lina manages to break Vero just a tiny bit, we venture into various tropes, create several amazing (in our opinion) theories, add yet more questions to our ever growing question list and all in all are just incredibly happy to do this. If you wanna send us any questions or talking points for our season wrap up...

As the name of this episode sugests, it was a lot of fun, so get ready for big giggles, Vero sings more than usual, and we do make a lot of pirate sounds! Lina shares more information on Vinnie Jones and Ben Presley, we learn the full lyrics to all songs, and at one point we yet again discuss a potential queerness of Galavant? Either way it was a very fun episode to both watch and hat about, so ho...

More fun facts, more debates, several pet peeves, wild theories, small and tiny character growth for our faves and ofc, even more gifs over at our social media plattforms. We were having a ball, so tune in to laugh and ponder with us! And yes, we have abandoned all pretense that any of these episodes will ever be under an hour. And please, feel free to follow us on our socials, especially to see o...

In today's episode, learn much more about our characters, than we thought possible in 20 mins. We ourselves spend about 20 mins just talking about fun facts and gifs! Lina debates possible use of licking gloves, while Vero muses about the practicality of fighting with different swords, we learn about knights and jousting and most importantly, we get a few new amazing songs. So of course this was g...

It is finally time. We talked about possibly covering this show since nearly day one of this podcast. And now, we are doing it! insert Richards little jump We are both so excited to talk about this show and hence it should not come as a surprise we managed to talk 80 minutes about a 20 minute episode. Vero even sings our very own version of the intro song! So sit down and get ready for obsession,...

It is time to wrap up this season, summon our thoughts and feelings and sometimes random talking points! We had a few drinks and talked about the good the bad the weird and the us during the recording of this 2nd season of the Sandman. Timestamps, cause it is a long one: 00:00:58 Classic bits (fave/worst char, most/least char development) 00:24:37 Random bits (rewatch commentary, Dead Boy Detectiv...

We truly have opinions. Luckily for us, we shared those opinions, so this episode did not get too bloody, but nontheless, trigger warnings for talk about suicide and depression. It is an interesting episode to finish the main coverage of this show, and though our rating isn't very positive, we did share quite a good few laughs, so hopefully it won't be a complete downer! And please, feel free to f...

Finale time! And yes, there is one more episode to come before this season is actually over, but this is the Finale of The Story of Morpheus. Join us for quite the emotional recording (we managed to keep the crying mostly silent on Lina's side), where Lina tries to help Vero overcome her aversions of not just endings but especially the replacement of characters. And of course where we celebrate al...

Today you get a short one. Don't get used to it. (spoiler alert) We talk about Morpheus' demise, and though we had tried to focus on the positives, like Hettie and Barnabas and Hettie and Hettie, we often had to talk about Lyta, which you know from experience, wasn't the most pleasant situation. One of the reasons this episode is this short, is that we actually agreed on absolute majority of our o...

Despite quite a bit of the various story lines neither of us enjoys, we managed to stay fairly (haha, get it?) positive during this recording. And on top of that we even managed to reign in our shit talk to a minimum. Probably mostly due to the fact that Lina was way too busy shipping everyone with anyone. So enjoy an episode where we ask a lot of questions and only have very few answers! And plea...

In the world of The Sandman, good things sometimes happen. And some of these things are related to Lina, especially in this episode. So join us in re-meeting the Greats that we all (mostly Lina) miss and love. Expect discussions and silly theories as per usual, but more commonly, expect thirst. Yes, everyone pretend to be shocked, there is much thirst involved. Have fun, we did! And since this hap...

The sharing of the braincell continues, probably one of the main reasons this episode is rather short. We kinda ended up agreeing on most relevant bits, and thus had time for some of our other, usual shenanigans. So strap in for the intense head cannons (cause Lina ships who she ships and no one can tell her otherwise), resurfaced dislike of season 1 characters, both of us failing to remember char...

The story of Orpheus comes to an end in quite gruesome way in this episode, but much happens before that. We debate motivations yet again, but we finally seem to be finding our rythm, because yet again, we have seemed to share a braincell for most of important plot points. Lina shares her love for lumberjacks of all kinds and Vero talks about theatre again. In the end we both have theories about t...

It has finally happened - both Vero and Lina are actually agreeing on things in this episode! It took several episodes but now we are back to accidentally reading from each others notes, agreeing on relevant plot points and even being accepting of the few moments we do differ in our interpretation. So join in for some good vibes, some random tangents and some (at least to us) entertaining debates...

If you thought you heard us disagree before, strap in, because this one is a doozy. Basically anything we could argue about, we did. Dream's motivations are a discussion on any day, but at times you will wonder, if we watched the same thing, becase so were we. This episode was a frustrating watch, but hopefuly we managed to bring you some interesting speculations and lift the GOOD that we did find...

This episode starts out with loads of interesting bits and pieces, happy debates and by the end of it, it unravels. Tangents and fights make this a very chaotic episode, and we hope there is more harmony in the future (but alas, if you know us...) So settle in for a lot of opinions and a wiiiiide range of interpretations of several scenes. And if the amount of debate in this episode is not enough...

There is a filler episode and a filler episode. Welcome to Lina struggling to find anything about the plot, she enjoyed, mostly because there's not much of a plot to talk about. As Morpheus goes through the candidates for the ruler of Hell, Vero gets very focused on Nada, and breezes over details, that may or may not be important in the next episode. While Lina still hates how they pronounce Azaze...

We are back! Life kept us busy and distracted but finally we are here to finish what we started: The Sandman. After the harmonious recordings of Dirk Gently, strap in for strongly differing interpretations of scene, opinions on behaviour and preferences on pretty much anything. And if the amount of debate in this episode is not enough for and you also have a craving for the random tangents we inev...

It's that special time of the season again! Come dive with us into the Best and the Worst that this season had to offer, learn what Lina found out about season 3 of Dirk Gently and listen to Vero being mostly proud of her predictions. As per usual, this is the episode you get to hear us as unfiltered as we will ever be. We didn't do shots this time, but we still managed a lovely chaos. With a surp...

This is it - the finale! And it's a long one. We have all the emotions, opinions, revelations and debates. Lina finally can come clean about some of her slightly petty tries of misleading Vero and also won't shut up about various things she simply could not mention before Vero reached this episode. We went on a lot of tangents and had to take out quite a bit of material, because we simply did not...

The penultimate episode! So much happening, so many feelings, so much blood and most importantly: So many prediction still waiting to be proven wrong or right. Vero's opinions have solidified and nothing Lina says can change her mind on certain things. But also sometimes Lina manages to put some made-up-on-the-spot explanations towards Vero and turn a meh reactions to a happy one. Join us for a wi...

Finally we get some resolution for our case! Most of the team assembles in Wendimore and Dirk lays down the case, which obviously means a time of vindication for Lina, because she gets to do a lot of YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THIS, VERO!! But before we get to that point, we discuss every possible detail, and of course, Vero makes a bunch more predictions for what's next! Don't forget, that our Summoning...
