Best Mikado Podcasts (2024)

Just a fun discussion about two interrelated films about 40 years apart. The one is clear-eyed about what it wants to say; the other has a failure of nerve at the very last 5-10 minutes (but perfect and delightful otherwise)! Go listen to Mississippi John Hurt signing Staggerlee/Stag O' Lee to see the other thing that gave American Fiction only a 4…

Three fairly conventional storylines with that Millennium twist! The lighting in and around the perfect yellow is getting darker though.

1
Millennium 113-114: Force Majeur, Thin White Line 1:16:57

3M ago1:16:57

1:16:57

Force Majeur is so convoluted, Dan watched it twice. The last minute of Thin White Line had Dr. Redmond almost in tears.

3M ago1:23:01

4M ago1:45:06

1:45:06

It really was a special show that gave us characters and plot lines that we would have continued to watch. And we only really complained about one song!

1
Millennium: Dead Letters, The Judge 1:07:38

4M ago1:07:38

1:07:38

Touching Evil (US): Mercy, Show in Review 1:14:58

5M ago1:14:58

1:14:58

As we suspected, the final episode brought this show to a very satisfying end. BUT we still wanted it to go on. We spend most of the episode comparing it to Monk and then to other short-lived shows.

Touching Evil (US) - K, Love Lies Bleeding 1:02:52

5M ago1:02:52

1:02:52

How Dr. Redmond forgot to put this into the key, we will never know! This should have been our third podcast of Touching Evil (US). At least it is up before the finale!! Enjoy

Touching Evil (US): Entropy, Grief 1:06:24

6M ago1:06:24

1:06:24

Another couple of great episodes that fixed so many of the problems of the original. My apologies for ad placement - we are a little surprised after years with none. I am not sure how we will deal with this since our episodes go up essentially unedited. We ramble on until we're done, and that means that we will have to decide where to place ads epi…

8M ago1:18:43

1:18:43

Unrelenting in its bleakness. Once again an interesting story but we are still trying to become engaged. We start to understand Dave - maybe?

Touching Evil 102: Killing With Kindness 1:12:34

8M ago1:12:34

1:12:34

Again a great story - with a number of very tense moments. We are still trying to figure out what is missing to make this a great show.

Touching Evil 101: Through the Clouds 1:05:57

8M ago1:05:57

1:05:57
