The SHOW Show: with Sweets & Slaney

10 years ago this day, a scrappy duo set forth on a mission to fill the digital airspace with their limited and surface-level takes on stuff - most of it entertainment-oriented. The Show Show's pilot episode dissected the pilot of Game of Thrones. That was the exclusive focus then, but the podcast has evolved to be much looser, and its hosts have evolved to be much busier. In spite of our best int...

Lookie here, we snucked another one in before the end of 2025. Great catching up. Wishing you all a happy holiday and new year! NTWS!

Summer update! Sweets & Slaney catch up on the biggest and most essential shows of the year so far, and discuss a few movie projects that simply can't be too speculated upon. Chats about the new season of The Bear are reserved for the end of the episode. Spoilers ARE included, although that's not even enough warning for all members of the podcast.

The boys are back in town. The town of your podcast queue, that is. A great deal of life to catch up on, most of which involves the content we’ve been consuming. Chats about the Golden Globes, Say Nothing, English Teacher, Saturday Night, and much much more! Enjoy!

The previous episode of the pod saw Sweets and Slaney offering informal film assignments to one another: and so Sweets has seen Training Day, and Slaney has seen Say Anything. There are also chats here about dozens of other things seen since. Plus a veep candidate wrote Hillbilly Elegy, a bunch of famous people died, and one, notably, didn't. Enjoy!

We kick off our next 250 episodes with a catch-up on Challengers, Ripley, Dune 2, and John Mulaney's Everybody's in LA. Also chats about the closing Survivor season, Scarlett's Her character getting too real, Sorkin's new Facebook flick and much much more! Plus, get a load of this Cameron Crowe break-down. It's fascinating and a little troubling, and something has to be done about it. Enjoy!

We've arrived, at last, at the esteemed milestone of 250. A quarter thou! But it's much of the usual with talks about the Oscars, the scandals at Nick, the missing princess, a new 007, and much more! Also, perhaps some exciting personal news you won't have to listen long to catch up on. Enjoy!

2024 and we're still making time for the good old showsh. Catching up on vital matters such as awards season snubs, the pending success of After Midnight, Martin Scorsese's unwavering eye, and much much more. Hope you enjoy, dont @ us!

Happy Holidays! We're back for a catch up on all the latest, including a Jeopardy hosting determination, the hilarity of Andre Braugher, the Golden Globe nominations, and much much more! Have a safe and lovelu Christmas. We'll be back in 2024!

Oh look, it's us again! We didn't break for the strikes, but now that they're over it seems a good time to get things going again. Dozens of movies and shows to discuss, honeymoon misadventures, and of course, a certain pop-football pair-up. Great to be back!

Double strikes leave us with less and less news. But we've both seen a lotta stuff! Not just the big theatrical double-feature of the era, but a whole whack of so-so Jon Hamms. Also chats about live outdoor comedy, the Blind Side allegations, and much much more. Happy August!

It's a lot of Bear season 2 talk, but we've gone the extra mile to preserve spoilers. Just couldn't wait. Also chats about The Emmy nominations, Jury Duty, Barbenheimer, and Bear, Bear, Bear... Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

Sorry we missed May! Back now with lots to catch up on, and we're enjoying the outdoors during. We talk wildfires, and NY getaways, and writers strikes. Also chats about the finales of Ted Lasso, Barry, and Succession; Slaney's underwhelming response to a movie that seemed to be built for him; Sweets' top movie of the year so far... and much much more! Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

So much to catch up on, including Unstable, Daisy Jones, The Mandalorian, and Succession - which we keep at the end, for the sake of the spoiler sensitive. Also chats about HBO's new Potter series, how big business is infiltrating movies, Lisa Kudrow's lesser-seen masterworks, and much much more. Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

March on the pod, we discuss last minute Oscar odds, as well as what the awards would look like if 2018's nominees were up for Oscars five years later. Also chats about The Last of Us, Daily Show heirs, Jon Bernthal's next move, sexist stereotyping at the Titanic remaster, and much much more! Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

A long list of movies and shows to cover this month! Oscar contenders and rotten doozies alike. Also chats about Brady's next move, the Netflix password brigade, the Air trailer, and much much more. Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

January on the Shosh! We talk The Menu, Glass Onion, The Fablemans, Don't Worry Darling, Banchess of Inisherin, Fleishman is in Trouble, Golden Globes, and whatever else pops to mind. Just too old buddies catching up after the holidays. Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

December's Shosh really... delivers! Hear the lovely tale of a family expanding, and then the not so lovely sounds of Sweets covering Billy Joel. Also chats about White Lotus season 2 (we kept it pretty spoiler safe), The Santa Clauses, The Chippendales show, and Jonah Hill's therapy doc. Mostly otherwise just catchin' up! Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

All the big genre shows are wrapping up (and we talk about 'em all), and the delicious modern snark of The White Lotus is here to devour us. Chats about Matthew Perry's very odd media tour, the insane penultimate episode of Atlanta, what happens when you overheat a samosa, and much much more. Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

Back after a month to chat about the ever-growing glut of genre series, from House of the Dragon to Andor. Also chats about how they could zag with the next 007, whether it makes any sense at all to reboot American Pie, our much-outdated Emmys reactions, and lots more!

(DISCLAIMER: Our RSS host had issues which delayed the streaming of this episode on Apple Podcasts. This recording was conducted on Thursday September 8th, 2022) Big show of the week is, of course, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, on Amazon Prime. We chat about that, as it relates to certain other fantasy lore entertainment. Also talks about the insane Don't Worry Darling premieres, the...

Back after a long Summer break with keen beans to talk about the biggest tv event of at least the next two weeks. Game of Thrones was the first hot-seat show ever on this podcast, and now its children are getting the same treatment. House of the Dragon, you're up. Also chats about The Bear, HBO's avid trimming, the Community movie neither shitting nor getting off the pot, and much much more! Tweet...

Meeting virtually to catch up on all the watchings. Slaney's on The Bear, Sweets is on Loot. Plus there's a whole list of Emmy nominations to dig into. Also chats about Bennifer finally tying the knot, Tom Cruise cutting a great deal (even for him), Stranger Things 4.2 with some distance, and much much more. Tweet your thoughts to @ShowShowPodcast!

A spring hiatus is perfectly normal, but there's been so much going on that getting it all on the record seemed nearly impossible. Major life moments to look back on from BOTH Sweets and Slaney! Also chats about celebs possibly lurking nearby, the shameless comeback of a certain Joker, spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi, Stranger Things AND Barry, and much much more!
