The Awesome Village

You’re in for a treat. With all the anti-heroes we’ve discussed in recent weeks, we thought it would be fun to have a conversation about anti-heroes in pop-culture and decide on which one is the best.

Fresh off the end of the year, we’re back to discuss the things that deserve your attention or scorn. In this episode we discuss small screen offerings like Wolf Like Me, Yellow Jackets, Dexter: New Blood, Righteous Gemstones, and Peacemaker, and we take you through our reviews of Scream, Encanto, and The Night House. We also remember the talents that left us recently and we crown this week’s Awes...

It’s an episode that begins with a tale of poor customer service and ends with us sitting down to review the TV you should watch or avoid. We discuss the new season of Dexter, the debut of Star Trek: Prodigy, the final season of Narcos: Mexico and the third season of Sex Education in an episode so big, we had to split it in twain.
