  1. Squid Game (2021) - Season 2

    JAN 28

    Squid Game (2021) - Season 2

    We’re kicking off 2025 (and season 2 of this podcast!) with Season 2 of the smash hit Squid Game. If we have any complaints, it’s that this season ended on a cliffhanger. We think they did a great job keeping the emotional intensity in season 2 even though audience knows what’s going to happen during the games. And, interestingly, one of the people we’re following through the games is one of the soldiers. It seems like their side of things is just as messed up as the players. Rachael has an interesting theory that many of the people in the game were brought in by the Front Man to test Gi-hun’s resolve and his belief that people are still good. There’s his best friend, a mother and son, a pregnant woman and her (ex)boyfriend. And with the voting after EVERY GAME, it shows that these people are here by their choice. Kerri’s theory is that the In-ho brought Gi-hun back and allowed him to live so that the Games can be brought down. Or maybe he just wants Gi-hun to take over. Evelyn thinks the VIPs aren’t even involved this time and In-ho is fully funding this as his own experiment. What we want from season 3: -Flashbacks to In-ho’s time in the game as a player. -How/why did In-ho come back as the Front Man? -What’s going to happen with the people who stayed behind when Gi-hun and that group went off to take down the games? -What exactly does the boat captain know about the games? -What’s the deal with that weird shaman lady? Coming in February, we’ll be discussing the 2019 reboot Roswell, New Mexico. It is now streaming on Netflix.  TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoaR_ih9Q0M TUMBLR: https://showclubpod.tumblr.com/ MERCH: https://showclub.redbubble.com/ EMAIL: showclubpod@gmail.com

  2. Staged (2020, Series 1-3)

    12/25/2024

    Staged (2020, Series 1-3)

    This month we’re covering all three series of the BBC comedy Staged. Kerri and Evelyn love this. Rachael, not so much. But that could be because it is such a product of its time and circumstances that watching it as a new viewer now it just doesn’t have the same impact.  The one thing everyone can agree on is that the guest stars are amazing! Samuel L Jackson? Dame Judi Dench? CATE BLANCHETT?!?! Come on…  We do also talk a bit more about last month’s pick The Orville because after that, everyone went and watched seasons 2 and 3. It’s such a great show! And we might be getting a season 4? Fingers crossed.  Coming in January we’ll be discussing season 2 of Squid Game.

  3. The Orville (2017) - Season 1

    11/26/2024

    The Orville (2017) - Season 1

    This month we head to outer space with season 1 of The Orville. And if, for some reason, you’re not a fan of this one then #blameitonthebag. As for us, it’s a hit all around. Kerri had never seen it before but will continue watching the rest of the seasons.  This show has a way of commenting on current social and political issues without feeling preachy. And the guest stars! So many amazing guest stars. There’s also an interesting thing that since money doesn’t exist at this point in the future, where is the incentive or what is the compensation like for people and doing their jobs? We also have some input on more vampire shows and other just excellent shows for possible consideration from a listener! Next up, we’ll be watching all three seasons of the BBC Zoom dramedy Staged starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen. All episodes can be found on BritBox.

  4. Interview with the Vampire (2022) - Season 1

    10/30/2024

    Interview with the Vampire (2022) - Season 1

    It’s spooky season, so Kerri made Evelyn and Rachael watch season 1 of the greatest show currently on television, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. This one is a hit across the board with everyone.  We talk a bit about the Rembrandt in Louis and Armand’s dining room in Dubai and how it came to be in their possession. Evelyn wants to do a whole Ted Talk on Lestat and narcissism. We dive into Louis and Lestat’s parenting, Lestat and his relationship with Antoinette and how it compares to what he has with Louis, and The Drop.  Rachael asks what is the perfect age to be turned into a vampire. Evelyn and Kerri agree that late 20s into your 30s is good. Definitely, after your brain has fully developed. Evelyn accidentally brings up Sam not being a natural blond and the whole existential crisis Sam had during his interview with Autumn Brown. Next up, we’ll be watching season 1 of The Orville. Available on Hulu. TRAILER: https://youtu.be/cYRL93Ayp_g?si=PD4_6Du0UvUYBn0C TUMBLR: https://showclubpod.tumblr.com/ EMAIL: showclubpod@gmail.com

    Dance Til Dawn (1988) - LIVE!

    This week we’re doing it LIVE! Commentary style as we watch the 1988 classic Made For TV Movie Dance Til Dawn. This one has everything and everyONE you could want from an 80s movie. It’s Prom Night! There are new dates, old dates, surprise dates! Apologies for the feedback sounds. We were working through some technical issues. It’s been cleaned up as much as possible. We hope it’s not too annoying. You can find Dance Til Dawn here: https://youtu.be/OKQG87x8GmY?si=SkuvkLvFVecTZUGe. So, cue it up and watch along with us!! Next month, it’s spooky season so we’ll be watching season 1 of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire now available on Netflix and AMC+.

  6. Fringe (2008) - Season 1

    08/28/2024

    Fringe (2008) - Season 1

    Let’s head back to 2008 and discuss season 1 of the cult classic, Fringe. This was an interesting conversation. Evelyn loves it (she picked it!), Rachael really likes it, but Kerri could not get into it. The pseudo-science was just too pseudo for her to get into. But given some of the things Evelyn and Rachael mention about later seasons, maybe she’ll jump ahead a bit and see if she likes future episodes better. But everyone can agree that Joshua Jackson is amazing. Having his character be a conman gives him an interesting point of view into what Walter is doing and how he behaves. Perhaps this is one of those series that could be ripe for a reboot.  Next month we will be watching the 1989 Made for TV Movie Dance Til Dawn, available on YouTube, and doing a live commentary along with it!

  7. Sh**ting Stars (Shooting stars)

    07/26/2024

    Sh**ting Stars (Shooting stars)

    This month, we watched the 2022 K Drama Sh**ting Stars, which we’re pretty sure is supposed to be Shooting Stars. But those asterisks are weird.  The show itself is an interesting commentary on fan culture and celebrity fixation. And it’s also super cute and adorable. Tae Song and his driver coming up with ways for him to have a meet-cute with Han Byeol was one of the best things ever.  We do wish Reporter Jo Ki-Bbeum had told her boss off and left to start her own agency. We’ll believe that happened once the show was over. It was a little frustrating how often a scene would end with someone saying they have something important to tell someone else and then we don’t see that conversation actually happening until later in a flashback. Next month we will be watching season 1 of Fringe. It is available on Max and Freevee (via Amazon Prime).

  8. Hannibal - Season 2

    06/27/2024

    Hannibal - Season 2

    This month, the girls discuss season 2 of NBC’s Hannibal. It’s a hit all around, though there are some small things that annoy. The cast is absolutely amazing. It’s visually stunning and even the sound design is on point. We debate if Hannibal has a moral compass, if he loves Will. And also how funny this show is. Rachael does wish we had watched this in October, though. Next month we will be watching the Korean drama Shooting Stars, available on Viki.
