PSA- sorry this is up late folks!

It's the finale of our cult season, and we talk about an officially supernatural free season, how this years finale compared to last years, and of course what we thought of the ending? Did we think this episode should have ended 30 seconds earlier? Maybe! We also talk about things that we liked and disliked about this season, and think about the future of AHS.

It's the penultimate episode of AHS: Cult, and frankly, it was a little bit disappointing. We talk about our predictions for the finale, the strange combinations of deaths in each episode, and how Ally engineered the events of this episode. We also discuss the end of SCUM, and go in depth in talking about the Manson murders and reenactment of them.

As we get nearer and nearer to the finale, we start to see the cracks in Kai's psyche forming. We talk about the fantastic use of recreation in this episode, Ally's cold-blooded murder and of course make predictions about who survives the season.

The show sort of redeemed itself this week, but still is on shaky footing. We talk about the weird Kai sex scene, whether the twists this week were surprising, and what in the world was going on with Winter wearing a dunce hat. We also talk about Detective Samuels's backstory and how this season is truly a metaphor for what is happening in America.

We did not care for this episode. We talk about the poorly planned twist, the travesty that is this take on the Zodiac killer and what Kai is up to with all of these new "soldiers". We also talk about the bad performances in this episode and our hopes for how to revive this season.

Another week has passed, and Ryan Murphy continues to impress. This week, we talk about the tragedy of Meadow's character, parallels to real life cult leaders, and the pertinence of this weeks opening scene. We also continue to make predictions about Dr. Vincent's role in the whole game, and talk about whether we think Ivy's experience is justified.

In one of the most exciting episodes of the season so far, our questions about the cult start to be answered. We discuss the members of the cult and their reasons for being there, whether Ally is being recruited or pushed away and what is going on with Meadow. We also make our annual "who makes it out alive" predictions, and talk about why we think Beverly is a psychopath. Finally, we ask whether a sprinkling of lye would actually block the smell of two corpses decomposing in a house (it wouldn't).

It's episode 3 of Horror Story and it's finally pulled Dane in. We talk about the literal gas lighting that's happening in this episode, the great acting of Evan Peters and whether the efforts to get Ally in the cult are working. We also talk about how Dane shares some fears with Meadow, whether we are suspicious of Ivy and make a small movie recommendation.

It's episode 2 of AHS, and things are coming into place. We talk about the definition of gaslighting, and about who is gaslighting Ally. We talk about the hilarious new neighbors, and also make several pretty major assumptions. Finally we make predictions about twists and who is in the cult.

American Horror Story is back and we couldn't be more excited, although we didn't totally agree on the season opener. We discuss whether these danged clowns are real, who the real bad guy is this season, and who the members of the cult are real. We also talk about why Ally and Kai are the worst of both sides of the political spectrum and Dane and Seth's respective phobia of holes and fish.

Things really start to rock in episode 14 of Twin Peaks. If last week was all about loops, this week was all about a straight line. In this episode we discuss what's Andy experienced at Jackrabbit's palace, ehy Bobby is just the best guy now, and who the other man in the jail cell was. We also talk about a new character with a really strong hand, Freddie, and what the eff happened when Sarah went to the bar.

Only four episodes to go!

Another entertaining episode of the return that had us both back on track with the series. We talk about how this episode was about people stuck in loops, both physically and metaphorically, and how the cycle of life repeats itself in Twin Peaks. We also try to continue to decipher the insurance money storyline, talk about Dougie's aversion to dandruff, and talk about the amazing troll that David Lynch left us with at the end of this episode.

It's episode 12 of the reboot and we're finally starting to circle the drain that is Twin Peaks. We get our first look at Audrey this season (in an exhausting scene) and find out what the FBI's goals finally are. We also talk about another infuriating scene with the French woman and try to decipher what happened to Billy/who he is/why we should care. We talk about Sarah Palmer's electrifying scenes and then discuss the best amount of Dougie we've ever had. FInally, we discuss whether this Twin Peaks reboot is actually good as a whole, and what we might think when it's finished.

We've got our first ever guest, Zach, in the studio for this doozeroo of an episode. We talk about what all of this imagery mean, how this episode might change the premium cable TV landscape, and whether this was too much like an undergraduate student film project. We also continue our debate about whether Bob is real or representative, and Dane debuts his Woodsmen impression!

We're back for another episode of Twin Peaks' return, and we're still moving pretty slow in terms of plot! We discuss what is going on with Cooper/Dougie, some new developments in the Red Room, and the horrific hit and run scene. We also talk about Lynch's use of certain actors, and the speed in scenes depicting violence. We also talk about whether this slow stuff will rope back around and become funny again.
