Monkey Dust - UK Comedy
The Best Episodes
**CORRECTION TO PODCAST** **Harry Thompson creator of Monkey Dust, died from cancer and not from taking his own life. We apologize for the misinformation. Also a warning to those sensitive to discussions about death, child abuse, terrorism and a bunch of other dark topics. ** Special guest Bryan Yanez joins Sam for a viewing of UK's classic cartoon, Monkey Dust. Right out of the early 2000s, this flash animation leans into disturbing topics like p*dophilia, b*stiality, and death. Apparently it's one of uk's hidden gems. I won't say much more but don't watch it, don't listen to this...

Veronica Mars - A Trip To The Dentist
The Best Episodes
Kristen Bell stars as Veronica Mars, a teenage detective that has to juggle the pains of high school along with solving the murder of her best friend. What a wacky snarky show! Another The CW show, this one we suspected to have a kid detective flair to it. Finally something light-hearted and fun... Turns out this 2004 TV Drama might be darker than our hosts originally suspect. Listen in to Sam and Stella's discussion and review for another week of impromptu what-if scenarios, Stella's impressions, and plenty of good old fashion teen roasting. It's 2004 and we are totally here for...

Sense8 - All I Want Right Now Is One More Bullet
The Best Episodes
There's not much to say about this cluster of plot points called a show from the creators of the Matrix, the Wachowskis. The show isn't easy to just jump into but that's the name of our game! Sense8 is one of the first Netflix original series, and it shows. There are high points and there are points where you'll wish you were high, so you could maybe understand what the heck is going on. The opening is dumb and the stakes are stupid but at least the cast is beautiful to look at! We'll take what we can get.

Ash Vs The Evil Dead - El Jefe
The Best Episodes
Almost 30 years after the original Evil Dead was released in theaters, Sam Raimi resurrects the franchise for the home screen. Ash Vs The Evil Dead is delightfully horrific and horrifyingly funny. It's a short lived series brought in fans from the original Evil Dead trilogy, one of which is our very own host Stella. For co-host Sam, choosing the pilot as the best episode doesn't bode well. Listen in as our hosts review, revel, and recoil from this disturbing horror comedy. It's Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell at their best in Ash Vs The Evil Dead!

BoJack Horseman - Fish Out Of Water
The Best Episodes
BoJack. Underwater. In a show that is known for celebrity voices, spunky dialogue, and nihilist hot takes, we chose an episode that is seemingly lacking in all three. That's what happens when you rely on internet best-of lists. We explore some themes in this episode, like family, narcissistic abuse, and washed up celebrities. What separates this show from other adult cartoons? Will Sam ever be able to take her mind off of animal sex? Just how many fishstiicks did she see in her childhood?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Once More With Feeling
The Best Episodes
We can safely say that this is the only episode where you can see heroes sings along with demons while being brutally vanquished. Yes folks, demons are among us and they want to make you sing and dance until you burst into flames. At least that's the story that nerd icon Joss Whedon wants to tell. When it seems like Buffy and her team of vampire hunters have done it all, season 6 decided to take a stab at musical theater. And stab away they do! There's so much to unpack with this wicked episode that it might haunt your soul for a while. That is if you have one! Will Buffy regain her happiness...

Xena Warrior Princess - Callisto
The Best Episodes
A Sam Raimi classic, Xena Warrior Princess is an extremely dated 90s show with a timeless protagonist and antagonist. In this episode, we explore the origins of the rivalry between Xena and her arch enemy, Callisto. Beyond great titties, does this show remain iconic for strong female characters? Do excessive sound effects work in this show’s favor? Are pots and pans legitimate armor? Who should be Xena in a reboot? All the answers to these questions lay wait in this episode

Barry - Ronny/Lily
The Best Episodes
This one is a bloody ride! Bill Hader stars in his own HBO action comedy where he is a hitman turned amateur actor. Ronny/Lilly was a difficult episode to gauge the series off of because it is pretty self-contained. Luckily, co-host Stella knows enough about the show for us to wade through the waters. Listen in to an outsider's take on Barry, his partner Monroe, and the two taekwondo maniacs they encounter in this episode. Is Barry ever going to improve his acting skill? Will Monroe every stop being an absolute bag of trash? Is this episode a supernatural horror flick? Quite...
