    EP17 | And the World Was All Around Us (Outlander S8 EP10)

    The end has finally arrived! Michelle and Robin break down the Series Finale of Outlander, and share their thoughts on this epic eight season experience.

    EP16 | Pharos (Outlander S8 E9)

    Diana G. herself wrote this one, the penultimate episode of Outlander! She has only written a few episodes throughout the whole series, so hopes were high that this would be a dialed hour of TV. Robin and Michelle discuss why they thought it worked in this episode of the pod. They also go on some epic history side-quests early on, so grab a dram and dust off your history-brain, Time Travelers, we're diving right in. Can you change the outcome of history by impacting key individuals? Tune it for Robin as she opines! Fear not, we circle it back to the sexual tension between Jamie and John–it could fuel a trip to the moon! Enjoy this episode of the podcast, and hey, while you are at it–please honor us with a rating and a review on your listening app of choice? The algorithm is starving for some attention. Much appreciated!

    EP15 | Peaky Blinders—The Immortal Man

    Robin and Michelle discuss the much anticipated Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man. This movie brings the first chapter of the Peaky Blinders saga to a close, so there is much to discuss! Robin's Peaky Blinders montage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac_ockJWex0

    E14 | In the Forest (Outlander S8E8)

    This was Season 8's Golden Episode, and it sure lived up to that title! Written by show creator Ronald D. Moore, this Ridge-focused episode had humor, hugs, montages (naturally) and lots of great scenes with Jamie. The acting in this episode stood out, but so did an apparent cameo with historical figure Johnathon Edwards, a looming Presbyterian minister of the period. And maybe one day soon we'll get to discuss Outlander without bringing up dead babies...but, not today! Because our episode includes a discussion of death by suicide being viewed as sin and the real consequences that has led to. Including a tragic phenomenon called "Suicide by Proxy." But this episode of the pod is 90% cheery because it really is a heartwarming Outlander episode. Enjoy!

    E13 | Evidence of Things Not Seen (Outlander S8 E7)

    OUR SPOILER-FREE EPISODE BRIEF: For such a dark and twisty episode of Outlander, Robin and Michelle had a lot of fun dissecting this one. We get existential and cover big questions like, "When does a relationship with a fictional character cross the line?" and "What does a show creator owe its fan base?" and "What is up with the Outlander fan base?!" Bonus Bibles, sexy knees, and some of the best acting Outlander has ever seen are also covered. Join us in not taking ourselves—or Outlander—too seriously. The podcast episode is nothing but spoilers. Proceed as you wish.

    E12 | Blessed are the Merciful (Outlander S8 E6)

    5-4-3-2-1....the countdown to the series finale of Outlander is here! There are only 4 episodes left, and this 6th installment of the final season left us hungry for more. Not all was perfect–Michelle has beef with the fake (AI?) baby, and Robin has beef with Cousin Ben's swarmy attitude. But they both applaud Rachel and of course, Rollo's adorable fluffy grandson. This episode of Outlander also gets points for mentioning Thomas Paine, the very best of the founding fathers. BONUS MATERIAL: As promised, here is some ad hoc information about Thomas Paine: "Reading Paine from Left to Right" by SEAN MONAHAN https://jacobin.com/2015/03/thomas-paine-american-revolution-common-sense/ Dick Gaughan sings about the revolutionary 18th century thinker and propagandist Thomas Paine. Song written by Graham Moore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd2AHZ22SJ8 Portrait of Thomas Paine by Laurent Dabos, c. 1792

    EP11 | Peaky Blinders, S1-S6

    Robin and Michelle discuss the epic British TV show Peaky Blinders, which is Robin's favorite show of all time. This is one of two episodes which will be Peaky focused; here we talk about the style, the characters, and the themes of Seasons 1-6, and in the next Peaky episode we will talk about the new movie, The Immortal Man. Strap in for over an hour of Robin wearing her heart on her sleeve and trying to articulate why this show means so much to her. Show notes: Robin made a Peaky montage edit to one of her favorite songs from her favorite British band, because of course she did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac_ockJWex0 Robin also wrote a post on Reddit about one of her favorite short-term characters -- the delightfully psychotic Tatiana, a Russian Duchess who gives Tommy a run for his money: https://www.reddit.com/r/PeakyBlinders/comments/1l3qdln/tatiana_is_one_crazy_bitch_and_i_love_her/
