Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
The show that started it all: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (and the wacky Japanese show it recycled scenes from) has been a kids classic for thirty years. There have been movies, video games, and multiple generations of TV shows, but the original season is its own kind of special. Join us as we relive our childhoods, argue about our favorite rangers, and compare the US show with the original Japanese one.
Special thanks to our brothers, Nick Pula and Ben Wilton, for their help with this episode. -
Futurama
Chelsea and Ania discuss another Matt Groening gem, Futurama! Turns out, it’s a dump of site gags and Easter eggs the size of New New York. But don’t worry, we’ve done all the screen-pausing and googling for you, so you just have to lean back, crack a beer, and try not to fall back into a cryogenic freezing chamber for 1,000 years.

Bridgerton
Get ready to clutch your pearls and hold on to your layers of unnecessary underwear! This episode is all about Bridgerton! Chelsea and Ania discuss the drama, fashion, and anachronisms that have made this one of the hottest new shows on Netflix.

Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty premiered in 2013. The brainchild of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, this weird cartoon has inspired comics, anime films, Dungeons & Dragons adventures, and so much merchandise. Kayla Cobb may have captured the shows essence when she wrote, "It’s a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism."
Join us this week as we rediscover the shows aired pilot episode, including behind-the-scenes production process and other fun facts.
Special thanks to our brothers, Nick Pula and Ben Wilton, for their support with this show. -
The Addams Family vs The Munsters
We're back in the 60s celebrating two competing monster family spooky TV shows: The Addams Family and The Munsters. We discuss the different tones of each show, ponder why the 60s loved sitcom fantasy TV, and which show we think is more successful in the genre. Come with us as we explore the pilot episode of these television shows.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is having a moment right now - and we can totally see why. Join our discussion between one huge Avatar nerd (Chelsea) and one relative newcomer (Ania) as we discuss part one of the Avatar pilot and the show's arc. We dig into some really fun facts - like which character was originally a middle aged man, and how ice people became water benders.
Special thanks to our brothers, Ben and Nick, for their contributions to sound and editing.

Very Funny
I am so glad I stumbled onto this podcast. It makes me feel like I’m sitting around with my friends having a laugh. Thanks ladies. Oh if you take requests... Sex and the City and/or Community please! 🤞
parks and rec is good
season one is rlly bad but it gets better stop saying such bad things about it
A little too heteronormative
Actually a good listen but like many podcasts a little heavy on the already tedious modern psychobabble.
