    The Broken Earth Trilogy

    We wrap up our recap/analysis of the simply amazing Broken Earth Trilogy in this episode. If you recall, we reviewed book 1 of the trilogy in Season 1 of our show. If you already listened to that episode, you might just want to skip ahead to around 18 minutes, where we get into books 2 and 3. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers.

    Wandavision

    We're not into superheroes, and we're not apologizing for that. But we did like Wandavision! If you want a take on the show that's not just a black hole of convoluted Marvel nonsense, listen in. At about 48 minutes, we somehow arrive at a discussion of Disney, the total artwork, utopia, and capitalism. If want to learn more, here's a chapter from a book about Disney and the total artwork (PDF). Or if podcasts are more your speed, here's one on Disney's utopian ambitions. And, if your curiosity's piqued by our convo about philanthropy and the social improvement fantasies of the ultrarich, you might find season 2 of Vox's Future Perfect a stimulating listen. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. (It was Agatha all along!) CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

    The Queen's Gambit

    Sex, drugs, and... chess??? Why yes, it's The Queen's Gambit. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. Also, this was recorded in February 2021, so... we say some not timely things. Sue us. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

    Babylon Berlin Seasons 1 & 2

    We're really into German tv, apparently. This time, we try to explain the extremely complex but very rewarding Babylon Berlin. Based on a series of mystery books, the show goes well beyond the source material in ways that are really satisfying. There's 3 seasons on Netflix, but we just get into the first two. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. But this show is so complicated, we're really doing you a favor. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (AKA "Probs with Dobbs")

    More Harry Potter! In this episode, we dive into the second book in the series, exploring, among other topics, the nonsense that is the (still wholly lovable) character of Dobby, hence this episode's nickname: "Probs with Dobbs." We do want to state up front that we do not agree with the transphobic statements of J.K. Rowling or support her in any way.  DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. But lol if you don't know what happens in Harry Potter at this point. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

    The Haunting of Bly Manor

    We're not really that into horror. We'd like to be, but we're fraidy cats. But we were brave and watched Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor. And it was so worth it! DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

    Dark

    We love this mind-blowing German sci-fi show even though it also kinda hurts our heads. If you're a Dark fan, join us as we try to untie the knot of interdimensional time travel that is this crazy show. If you're not a Dark fan, you're wrong, and you need to leave now and go watch the show because none of this will make any sense and also we spoil all the plot twists and endings. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson

    Rodham

    We like books. We like ladies in politics. What has both? Curtis Sittenfeld's Rodham. DISCLAIMER: There ARE spoilers. CREDITS: Music - "Spilled Milk" by Scott Kubie and Jon Peterson
