1:29:55

We invite Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal onto this week’s show to talk about Spanish-language boxing drama a Máquina on Disney+. But that’s not all, as we pillory Kay for daring to take some time off, James is lambasted for his egregious (if entirely oblivious) queue-jumping, and there’s some seasonal spooky chat about the best TV-based horrors.…

It’s a crime special this week as not only do we delve into Ryan Murphy’s latest bowl of depravity in crime drama Grotesquerie on Disney+ but we also have Crime Monthly editor Steph Seelan standing in for Kay, who’s still on her meditation retreat (if you worked with James and Boyd, you’d need one too). And while we have Steph among us, we take the…

197. Penguin, Agatha All Along, High Potential : Episodes One (HBO/Max, Disney+, ABC/Hulu 1:44:13

2M ago1:44:13

1:44:13

Are three shows too much for one episode? Not when two are long awaited comic book shows and the third has a tie to one of them! This week Chris and Steve take a look at The Penguin a spin off series from 2022's The Batman film The sequel to 2021's Wanda Vision: Agatha All Along And a new Procedural that caught our eye, High Potential starring Kait…

#305 Apples Never Fall, Ludwig, and Joan (plus A Very Royal Scandal) 1:22:37

1M ago1:22:37

1:22:37

There’s an ever-so-slight mix-up this week over whether a prestige BBC drama about tennis coaches should be masquerading as a Spanish language show about pirate ambulances, but that particular wrinkle thankfully gets ironed out in time for us to tackle Apples Never Fall on BBC1, in which Sam Neill may or may not have murdered Annette Bening. Plus D…

2M ago2:01:05

2:01:05

Ruth Wilson is our guest on the show this week, talking about A Very Royal Scandal, which comes to Prime Video this week but is also heavily embargoed so we can’t tell you about it on this week’s show.

#303 Nightsleeper, La Maison, and The Teacher 1:23:32

2M ago1:23:32

1:23:32

It’s a special quarantine version of the pod this week as James, still struck down with Covid, feebly attempts to host the podcast while Boyd and Kay stay as far away from his lurgy as humanly possible. But despite a minor case of plague and an absolute dearth of telly this week, the team manage to hit the tracks for real-time train-based thriller …

196. Terminator Zero, Rick and Morty Anime : Episodes One (Netflix, Adult Swim) 1:15:40

2M ago1:15:40

1:15:40

We've promised a few all anime episodes, I think we finally delivered. We've been graced by two drastically different Anime adaptations of American products. Each a little controversial, mostly for being more of an anime style american series than an anime done for a foreign audience and then brought to the US. However, the Rick and Morty Anime is …

2M ago1:39:26

1:39:26

James returns from his Taycation this week, but don’t fret because to make up for that we have Gary Oldman on the show this week discussing the joy of Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses, and Eve Hewson chatting The Perfect Couple on Netflix.

#300 Sherwood, Pachinko, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and We Might Regret This. With guest James Graham 1:56:12

3M ago1:56:12

1:56:12

We made it! 300 episodes (not counting the many episodes of Pilot+ or the spoiler specials) feels like quite the milestone, even if we weren’t able to do a live show because James has tickets to see Taylor Swift. He did manage to drag himself away from Eras Tour prep (those friendship bracelets don’t make themselves) to drop in and join Boyd and Ka…

#299 Bad Monkey, Daddy Issues, and The Twelve. With guest Nico Mirallegro 1:31:59

3M ago1:31:59

1:31:59

We can’t review Paramount+’s Stags this week as it’s embargoed, but that didnt’ stop star Nico Mirallegro dropping by the pod to talk about the stag do from hell. Elsewhere, we can’t lie, this week is somewhat anarchic. Kay and James are sleep deprived to the point of delirium and even a well-rested and thoroughly perky Boyd can’t stop the good shi…

3M ago1:01:02

1:01:02

Like an episode of 24, we’re racing against the clock on this week’s show. But the imminent threat of being thrown from the studio by Jack Bauer didn’t stop us from dimension hopping with ITVX’s Slip, digging up a relic with Company You Keep on Alibi and heading up to Scotland for some criminal shenanigans with Irvine Welsh’s Crime, now on ITV1. Pl…

#297 Totally Completely Fine, Interview With The Vampire, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon 1:22:19

4M ago1:22:19

1:22:19

We have vampires AND zombies this week in an undead double bill (Kay was thrilled) as well as people hurling themselves to a watery doom. More specifically, we tackle the second season of Interview With The Vampire on BBC2, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on Sky Max, and Totally Completely Fine on ITVX. But that’s not all, because we pull out some Pa…

195. Kite Man: Hell Yeah : Episode One (HBO Max) 1:04:28

4M ago1:04:28

1:04:28

We are so back. We did not just fall out of a coconut tree. But Maybe Chuck Brown, aka Kite Man did? The Spinoff to the great R Rated cartoon series (Batman says FUCK!) Harley Quinn is here. And did someone say Noonan's? Chris gushes about the Garth Ennis Hit Man, Steve provides all the context from the Harley Quinn Series, and we have as much fun …

4M ago1:27:07

1:27:07

Stars of Apple’s Lady In The Lake Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram join us on this week’s show despite a few technical hiccups. Plus we end up unearthing a cold case in BBC1’s very pointed Jenna Coleman police drama The Jetty, welcoming Danny Dyer back into the family with Mr. Bigstuff on Sky Max and getting our sandals on for some gladiatorial act…

#294 Sunny, Spent, and The Turkish Detective 1:15:01

4M ago1:15:01

1:15:01

Most films and TV shows are shot entirely out of sequence, so we went full Method on this week’s podcast and decided to record the entire show out of sequence to see what it’s like (and because we had an appointment with Rapman, but that’s another story). The result? Anarchy. And possibly madness. Still, amidst the carnage, the discussion of a Pilo…

#293 My Lady Jane, The Bear, and A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder. With guests Rob Brydon and Anna Chancellor 1:30:08

5M ago1:30:08

1:30:08

We may not have been able to cover The Bear last week but fear not, because our food order arrived in time for this week’s show and our take on The Bear’s third season is finally ready to go. Plus, not only do we fall under the spell of Prime Video’s My Lady Jane, but stars Rob Brydon and Anna Chancellor stop by to share parenting tips from this an…

#292 Douglas Is Cancelled, and Land Of Women. With guest Rapman 1:24:40

5M ago1:24:40

1:24:40

We may not be able to review Netflix’s Supacell until the next Pilot+ but that didn’t stop the show’s creator, Rapman, from dropping by to talk all about his Black superhero saga. And while we’re talking about things we couldn’t review, there’s a whole debacle about The Bear (a Bearbacle?) that plays out this week, so if you’re joining us to find o…

194. The Acolyte, Clipped : Episodes One (Disney +, FX on Hulu on Disney +) 1:25:33

5M ago1:25:33

1:25:33

Has it really been nearly a year since the last Star Wars show? It doesn't feel like it's been that long, yet it also feels like forever. Has it really been TEN years since the Donald Sterling scandal? And the Clippers still haven't won anything since? Hard to tell what's more cursed, The Clippers or the public's reaction to recent Star Wars media.…
