Ep 32: The Talented Ms. Nixon
Housebound
S2e9 "Deception" Alanna just watched "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and so is having complicated personal feelings about this episode. Also, we google The Terror in Minecraft. The podcast Alanna talks about ~58m is "The Retrievals."

Ep 31: Anne Boleyn Reid
Housebound
S2e8 "The Mistake" In this one, we rented a podcast studio (location edited out for privacy) and attempted to sound professional for once! We also meander quite a lot through the Protestant Reformation.

Ep 30: He Doesn't Know It's For the Funny Rat
Housebound
S2e7 "Hunting" Yeah, we were both extremely sleep-deprived while recording this one. We keep it together long enough to get through some entirely unrelated discussions on Luigi, guns, vaccines, and politics.

Ep 29: As One Loser, To Another
Housebound
S2e6 "Spin" BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! We discuss what life agonies kept us from our beloved House MD for so long, transphobia in sports, and House of the Dragon, which at this point is just how we roll. And there's a special guest appearance from our kitty friend Vinnie. Note: the podcast Alanna references ~40:00 is "Bed of Lies."

Ep 28: I Dare You To Make This One Funny
Housebound
S2e5 "Daddy's Boy" We're back, baby! As the title suggests, this is kind of a downer, unfortunately. We do our best to lighten the mood. Digressions: Ancient Roman military wives, Howard has died. Badly, Ford owners be like, my parents sold me to House MD.

Ep 27: Not TB But Vin-E
Housebound
S2ep4 "TB or Not TB" Fellas, is it gay to die of yellow fever? These questions and more answered only on Housebound. We mostly stay on topic, because the topic is "greedy pharma execs exploiting the third world" and it turns out there's a lot to say about that.

Ep 26: He Got Jaime'd
Housebound
S2ep3 "Humpty Dumpty" We do spend the first ten minutes of this episode talking about HotD again, so once that starts feel free to fast forward if you don't want to Sea his Snake. Otherwise we mostly stay on topic! Except for malaria cropping up a few times. But honestly, that should be expected from us by now.

Ep 25: Nobody Is Doing It Like Them
Housebound
S2ep2 "Autopsy" And we are BACK, baby! Neither school nor work nor illness of the mind can keep us down forever. This episode features a special appearance from our newest friend of the show, Vinnie. Digressions: Daemon-Aemond-House beef, the Hatman, working a double at the hater factory, free my glans, and Jaehaerys your kids.

Ep 24: The White Maester Mellos
Housebound
S2ep1 "Acceptance" Welcome one and all! We actually made it to season 2, edited many weeks late. Mostly we talk about prison abolition and legal justice in this episode, which isn't even off topic. Digressions: shambling corpses, there was a chicken man, problems disease, and Beesbury sweep.

Ep 23: The Househead's Gamble
Housebound
Season 1 wrap-up! We lived, we laughed, we loved, we learned, we lusted. Long story short, we liked to see it. We answer your questions and discuss the season as a whole, where it left us with the characters and where we look forward to going in the future. Join us next time for season 2!
info_outlineS1ep3 "Occam's Razor" Things we go on tangents about that are only vaguely related to this episode: A Song of Ice and Fire's Jon Connington; Geralt Witcher's fat tiddies; our cat Merlin; how our parents met; what racial slurs Australians use; and Animal Crossing: Wild World. It's a veritable pinata of an episode!
