Too Hot to Handle - Season 4
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
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
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.

The Outlaws (2021) - Season 1

The Outlaws (2021) - Season 1
This month, it’s time to meet The Outlaws! The 2021 series is available on Amazon Prime and stars Stephen Merchant and Christopher Walken. Season 2 is out now! Kerri definitely likes this one a lot more than Rachael’s last pick (Veronica Mars) and Evelyn thinks this is fine. SPOILER WARNING: There is a massive twist that happens near the end of this season that is discussed in detail. So, if you haven’t watched this show, go watch it and then come back and listen to what we have to say. It’s an interesting show because while there’s a lot that happens and these people go through so much together, none of their circumstances have changed. The people have changed and become better, but their lives are exactly the same. It’s really good, though. Rani’s mom is really super awesome. We love her. We also love Greg and Gabby. They’re just awesome as friends. But what if Gabby’s dad is the boss of The Dean? That would be interesting. What would you guys do if you found a giant bag full of money? Also, THEY PAINTED OVER A REAL BANKSY!!! How could they?? Next month, Evelyn has selected Arcane: League of Legends which can be found on Netflix.

Inside Man (2022)
This month, we discuss the 2022 series Inside Man created by Steven Moffat and starring David Tennant and Stanley Tucci. Everyone has THOUGHTS. It’s a fascinating series where every decision a person makes is absolutely the wrong decision, but it’s very easy to understand why that decision was made. There is some dislike about the two storylines being so separate until right at the very end. We do all agree that the acting is absolutely amazing from everyone. One of the biggest questions we have is why doesn’t Janice believe Harry at the beginning? Janice also seems to be the one keeping herself in this situation. Things didn’t have to turn out this way. What would your final meal be if you were on death row? Inside Man BFI Q&A: https://youtu.be/Pgf_EOX7Q8A?si=RG0viseDdpHiuFfJ Next month, Rachael has selected season 1 of The Outlaws, available on Amazon Prime.

Veronica Mars - Season 1
This was an interesting one. Rachael obviously loves Veronica Mars (this was her choice). Evelyn liked it well enough. Kerri HATED it. The acting is fine and it’s really just the actual storylines and plot points that are the issue. Can we talk about the guest stars, though? Jessica Chastain! Adam Scott! Amanda Seyfried! Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin! All outstanding. We also really appreciate that there was never anything romantic between Veronica and Wallace. They’re just besties and that’s great. Next month, Kerri has selected Inside Man. The 2022 limited series starring David Tennant and Stanley Tucci, available on Netflix.

The Uncanny Counter - Season 1
This month we discuss season 1 of The Uncanny Counter (season 2 out now!). The characters in this show are so great and fleshed out so well. Do you guys enjoy just being thrown into the deep end of a show’s lore or is the info dump important? Where are all the adults in the school while there’s attempted murder happening? But So Mun was a total badass for calling out the strongest bully to try and put an end to everything. And we hope the redemption arc that was started for Hyuk-woo at the end of season 1 continues in season 2. What exactly are the rules for non-interference in human affairs? Because those lines go wibbly-wobbly quite a bit. Next month, Rachael has selected Veronica Mars, Season 1, available on Hulu.

Taskmaster - Series 9
It’s finally time to talk about Taskmaster! Kerri got Rachael and Evelyn to watch series 9 and, spoilers, THEY LOVED IT!! It has become one of Evelyn’s happy shows when she needs cheering up. We talk a bit about the history of Taskmaster and the various international versions that exist. There is also a Prize Task! Which might not be the best thing on an audio podcast… We discuss some outtakes, which contestants we liked, and, of course, the shid. Next month, we will be watching season 1 of The Uncanny Counter, available on Netflix. TRAILER: TUMBLR: EMAIL: [email protected]

Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) - Part 2
We conclude the heist of the National Mint of Spain with Money Heist, Part 2! We discuss the predictions we made (off air) and which ones we got correct and which ones we got wrong. We did okay. We still don’t know what Tokyo is doing there. So, the Professor and Berlin are brothers? Whoops… Denver thinking Stockholm Syndrome is an actual physical illness is one of the most amazing character choices ever. The one thing we had an issue with is the timeframe at the very end after the cops decide to storm the Mint and take them down. Way too much time passes between seeing the cops get set-up and then them actually going into the Mint. How much time was that? Next month, Kerri makes Rachael and Evelyn watch Taskmaster Series 9. You can find all episodes on the official Taskmaster YouTube Channel or check out the link below.

Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) - Part 1
This month Rachael aka Cairo, Evelyn aka Charlotte, and Kerri aka Juneau discuss Money Heist - Part 1 (La Casa de Papel). Which really should have been called House of Paper because that is a much better title. The flashbacks in this show serve a really good purpose of filling in the blanks and also keeping the story moving along. Tokyo is kind of useless at this point. But we do stan Raquel and Monica and Nairobi. The Professor can totally get it and we really want him and Raquel to be a real couple but there’s no way that’s gonna happen. Next month, we continue with Part 2 because this show is just so good! TUMBLR: https://showclubpod.tumblr.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]

Trust (FX)

Trust (FX)
This month we discuss FX’s 2018 limited series Trust. It’s a show where the main story is not the interesting part and it’s difficult to watch a show where all the main characters are horrible people. However, the show is able to get us to understand these characters even if we don’t like them. And then there’s Primo. He is possibly the most interesting character in this whole thing. Big props to Luca for pulling that performance off. We also cast swap! Who else would we want to see in these roles? Come back next month when we’ll be discussing the Brazilian Netflix drama Money Heist (Part 1).

Bulgasal: Immortal Souls

Bulgasal: Immortal Souls
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). TUMBLR: EMAIL:

Alice in Borderland - Season 2
We’re kicking this off with Alice in Borderland, Season 2 (also a little bit of season 1). Did this even actually happen or not? If not, does it even mean anything? We do, however, very much appreciate episode 2 and the camera choreography employed to cover the naked guy’s sensitive bits. We also give a try at casting some of the roles for an American remake. You know it’s inevitable. Chris Evans as naked guy? Our next show will be Bulgasal: Immortal Souls, available on Netflix. TUMBLR: EMAIL:
