This finale stretch of My Lady Jane episodes—and this is the series finale, since once again we have canceled a show before its time—is sometimes more somber than the first half of the season was, and the show's untimely cancellation means there are a lot of pointless loose plot threads whipping around. We are nevertheless grateful to this bizarre …

In this episode of our goofy little podcast, we discuss episodes 4-5 of the goofy little show, My Lady Jane. Along the way, we discuss the perils of omnivorous eating in an Ethian society, references to classic cinema, and-- most important of all-- the role galluping does play in the Presidential Fitness Test and the role it might play in real pres…

We're back!! We recorded this at some point in the past, so during this conversation, we did not yet know that our curse has once again been visited upon us! But we are ready to talk about velvet doublets. And also Anna Chancellor.

We're back! Again! Something a little different this time: a miniseries focused on Amazon Prime's My Lady Jane, a bizarre historical-drama-meets-Animorphs show that was too strange for this post-peak-TV moment. It hadn't been canceled when we started recording these, but listeners, believe us when we say it had been canceled by the time we finished…

You know how sometimes you get a text or an email, and you say you’ll get around to it later, and you totally MEAN to get around to it later, and you even know that the person on the other end of the message KNOWS that you’ll get to it when you get to it, but then suddenly literal MONTHS have passed and it seems like it would be weirder to reply to…

In the episode, we mention this sweater: And also, somehow, against all odds, Mpreg Clippy, which I have linked in case any of you are self-loathing enough to wish to pollute you…

Listener beware, you're in for a scare! This week we watch a horrifying scream-filled nightmare of a television episode, where characters toy with forces beyond their comprehension and exhume corpses that would best be left alone. We are, of course, referring to the Frasier reboot. We also watch the first episode of the new Goosebumps show, which i…

Is watching this show not unlike descending into pure mindless sensation? Like a sensory deprivation tank, but as a TV show? Also why on earth does the Priyanka Chopra-Jonas character make these choices?! They're such bad choices!

Extra Hot Great co-host and TV critic extraordinaire Tara Ariano parachutes into our Citadel series this week, to help us break down exactly what is going on in all these flashback sequences where characters look and act exactly the same way they do in the "present day." This episode moves the season's main story forward by roughly 37 seconds.…

Also if three or four dozen of you tweet at or email us I guess we'll fuck around and watch the entire first season of Citadel, don't disappoint…

Daisy May Cooper's Am I Being Unreasonable is fascinating and strange and maybe (probably) doesn't work?

But one thing's for DANG sure, and it's that Am I Being Unreasonable is a more interesting and successful show than Grease: Rise of the Pi…
