The Orville (2017) - Season 1
Show Club Podcast
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...

Interview with the Vampire (2022) - Season 1
Show Club Podcast
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...

Fringe (2008) - Season 1
Show Club Podcast
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....

Sh**ting Stars (Shooting stars)
Show Club Podcast
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...

Hannibal - Season 2
Show Club Podcast
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.

La Femme Nikita (1997) - Season 1
Show Club Podcast
La Femme Nikita is the 90est show ever and we love it so much. It still holds up. We are quite confused about what country Section One is supposed to be associated with given the reveal in season 3 of where they are physically located. (SPOILER: It’s underground, below the Eiffel Tower.) Evelyn has ALL the things to say about Michael. Kerri and Rachael cannot fault her for any of it. The interactions between the elder statesmen in section - Operations, Madeline, and Walter - are really great to see in a show like this. (Are they in a throuple? Who knows?) How did Michael’s wife...

Too Hot to Handle - Season 4
Show Club Podcast
This month Rachael tests the friendships as we discuss season 4 of the hit Netflix dating show, Too Hot to Handle. It’s gloriously bad and there is definitely a lot to talk about. We really appreciate when the contestants are able to have real conversations about how they’re feeling. The workshops could use some help, though. The general idea of the show is interesting, but the execution could use some fixing. What would it take to be able to spend a week in that house? Cos that would be awesome.

Suburra - Season 1
Show Club Podcast
We’re kicking off 2024 with season 1 of Suburra. Kerri LOVES this show. Evelyn enjoyed it, but not so much for Rachael. Despite the fact that there are no good guys, the characters are fleshed out enough that we do care for them. The plot might get a little bogged down in the middle, but it’s still a great story. For next month, in honor of Spring Break, Rachael has selected season 4 of Too Hot to Handle, available on Netflix.

Arcane - Season 1
Show Club Podcast
We’re closing out the year with Evelyn’s new favorite show - Arcane. Rachael agrees that this show is excellent. It’s not really up Kerri’s alley, though. We’re not really sure why the upper city cares so much about the lower city wanting to be independent when they don’t really care about the people that live down there, anyway. Rachael and Kerri were expecting something more to happen between Mel and Jayce, as in a betrayal perhaps, but nothing did. Everyone does love the boytoy, though. He’s hilarious. Making of Arcane, Season 1:...
info_outline This month we discuss Bulgasal: Immortal Souls. While we do like the show, it does have some issues that could be sorted out. Mostly concerning the flashback. Do they work as a narrative device or detract from understanding the characters' full motivations? Why did none of the Bulgasals ever talk to each other over the 1000 of years they’ve been in existence? It doesn’t make much sense that Ok Eul-Tae never tried to get Hwal on his side. Also, a map would be extremely helpful.
We also do a cast swap! What other actors would we cast in these roles?
Our next show will be the 2018 limited series, Trust. It originally aired on FX and is available on Hulu (and possibly Disney+ outside of North America).
