    How to Get to Heaven from Belfast (PILOT)

    The pilot of How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, a new Netflix comedy-thriller, follows a group of friends in their late 30s as they take a road trip into rural Ireland to the (fictional) town of Knockdara to pay their respects at their former friend’s wake. While delayed by car trouble, small-town logistics, goats, and hangovers, the anxious trio eventually finds themselves face-to-face with what might be the creepiest family in Ireland. In this podcast, we break down our favorite parts, the reveals, the genre-meshing and comparisons to Search Party, Yellowjackets, Pretty Little Liars, and The ’Burbs. Tune in for our thoughts and rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode.

    Cross (S02E01-03)

    James Patterson’s Alex Cross was represented on the big screen for years until 2024, when Aldis Hodge (FNL, Leverage) stepped into the role of the forensic psychologist and D.C. detective. In Season 2, Cross teams up with his partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa) and his FBI frenemy Kayla Craig (Alona Tal) on a new case: stopping the assassination of a shady billionaire played by Matthew Lillard. As the new pair of villains/vigilantes target child-trafficking islands and Cross races to keep DHS from silencing his leads, we break down the first three episodes and highlight our favorite and least favorite moments. We also give our thoughts on season 1, delve into comparisons, trivia, and production history. Tune in for our rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

    The 'Burbs (PILOT)

    In 1989, before the internet and smartphones, all people in the suburbs had to think about was what their neighbors were up to. Well, it's 2026, and Keke Palmer is starring as Samira, a new mother and fish-out-of-water who moves back to her husband's childhood home, only to find herself being haunted and taunted by the house across the street. In this podcast, we dont only compare the movie, but also the rise of suburban TV shows in the mid-2000s: Weeds, Desperate Housewives, Santa Clarita Diet... etc. There are a lot of familiar faces, from Jack Whitehall (Bad Education) to Mark Proksch (What We Do in the Shadows). Tune in to hear our thoughts on the best and worst moments. Welcome to Today's Episode!

    Vanished (PILOT)

Kaley Cuoco stars as Alice Monroe, whose romantic getaway is suddenly derailed when her boyfriend Tom Parker (Sam Claflin) vanishes without a trace.

We also get into trivia, performances, critical reception, and how similar the premise feels compared to The Flight Attendant, Gone Girl, Unstoppable, and other “missing spouse” thrillers.
