Episode 346: The Curse and Lawmen: Bass Reeves (FINALLY)
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 the message than it would be to continue letting it sit in this liminal unanswered state?
Anyway, here’s our last good one/bad one of, uh, fall 2023, about The Curse and Lawmen: Bass Reeves. We recorded this months ago. I dunno man, let's all just try to keep it light. -
Episode 345: The Irrational Buccaneers (Good One/Bad One)
In this week's episode, the gang is all here and we're discussing Margaret's Good One/Bad One Picks: The Buccaneers (good, theoretically) and The Irrational (bad, verily). 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 your brain with his visage. We will be back NEXT WEEK to discuss Kathryn's GOBO: The Curse (good) and Lawmen: Bass Reeves (bad). We hope you come back despite mpreg Clippy, but understand if that was simply a bridge too far. -
Episode 344: Tossed Goosebumps and Scrambled Frasier (Good One/Bad One)
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 is fine.

Episode 343: Good One Bad One "Fall" 2023: The Pickening
We're back again! This time with a "Fall 2023" edition of Good One Bad One, which we started recording pretty late in the season and have finally gotten around to releasing even later. (November hit hard this year, listener.)
We've got a great lineup for you this season! Presenting the Good Ones:
Apple TV+'s The Buccaneers
Hulu's Goosebumps
Showtime's The Curse
And, of course, our formidable Bad Ones:
Paramount+'s Frasier reboot
NBC's The Irrational
Paramount+'s Lawmen: Bass Reeves -
Episode 342: Shop the final Citadel look!
In which we finish our miniseries on Citadel and attempt to wrestle with what, exactly, we have brought upon ourselves.
-
Episode 341: Like Citadel episode 5, we cannot wrap it up
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!
Customer Reviews
TV and friendship
The hosts really just start to feel like friends after a while. Also Katherine has taught me so much about TV!
If you like TV....
I’ve listened to this since the first episode. Love the relationship among the three hosts. There’s an almost sibling like banter. This podcast has introduced me to shows I might not have considered on my own, made me reevaluate some shows I had dismissed, and reaffirmed my love of television. It feels like hanging out with 3 good friends and chatting about television.
Excellent Podcast!
I love this podcast! I love the discussion and the humour. There are some very good takes from all three hosts and it's delightful to listen to. Also, I'm very, very close to watching Bones.
