Plus, Seth tells us about his theory regarding Tyrell and Elliot and we talk about the use of tension throughout the series to create a sense of unease.

It is our final episode of the series 3, Black Mirror. In this episode, we talk about the excellent Christmas special- White Christmas. We talk about how tightly woven the three vignettes of this episode are, whether this technology is ethical or not and how much Dane liked Jon Hamm's turtleneck sweater. We also talk about how chilling the episode is and whether we expected any of these twists.
Next week, we're off, but after that we're back with Mr. Robot! Make sure to check out the first season on Amazon Prime and tune in to the new season in July.

Thanks for listening!
It's another episode of Black Mirror that doesn't seem to be too far off of current society-maybe we should rename this episode The Trump Moment? We talk about the use of campaign ribbons vs pins, whether Waldo is the same as a SnapChat filter, internet trolls and Seth once again tries to explain VR to Dane.
We'll be starting our new show soon- Mr. Robot season 2. We'll finsih Black Mirror in one week, do a recap of Mr. Robot Season 1 on July 9th and then we'll be back with weekly episodes of season 2.

This is totally one of our favorite episodes of Black Mirror and we get right into it. We talk about whether some of the acting and costuming was a little bit theatre-departmenty, we talk about how creepy the premise of the episode is, why we love the behind the scenes and whether justice parks are a humane form of punishment. Finally, Seth tells us about an experience with an "audience shouter" at a beer tasting event.
We're getting ready to do Mr. Robot season 2 in mid July, but may need some suggestions for episodes to fill the time- have any ideas? Let us know!

Arguably one of the weaker episodes of the series, Dane and Seth discuss the implications of this "resurrection" technology, how this episode toyed with the viewers emotions, and Seth goes on a rant about cell phones. They also discuss that sweet art board and how well this episode seems to predict fairly mundane technology.

Another week, another creepy episode of Black Mirror! In this episode, we talk about how this technology is becoming real in the form of camera contact lenses, whether we are on his or her side and how the Grain would fuel Dane's anxiety.

We begin our discussion of the British sci-fi show about technology- Black Mirror! In episode 1, we discuss the themes of the episode, the actual technology used in the episode and whether this scenario constitutes terrorism. We also disagree about what the implications of the show are, and the occasional comedic elements. We look forward to continuing our discussion of these non-serialized episodes!

It's a special two episode edition of The Parlor as we discuss episodes 9 and 10 of Marvel and Netflix's Jessica Jones. We dive into what we should expect from this show- hyper realism or fantasy and whether these episodes live up to either of those standards. We also discuss why Seth almost stopped watching and enjoy a special edition of Dane's science corner.

Queenie's back and we are so excited! Not really. We did love this episode though- a lot happened though and we are excited to speculate about the end of the season. We discuss why Scarlet is the most tragic character of the season and why if Lachlan doesn't show up next episode he will be Dane's favorite AHS character out of all the seasons. Finally we speculate about how Sarah Paulson could play a second character next episode and the fate of the living in the hotel. See you next week for the finale!
Let us know what you think a great twist for the end of the season would be and what your best guess as to what the theme of season 6 will be!

We rewatched episode 1 and discussed whether we thought it was any different from our first viewing. We also discuss our thoughts on how this season fits into the AHS anthology, and what our predictions are for the end of the season. Finally, we announce our show recap lineup for 2016!
We talk about episode 10 of AHS Hotel, and spoiler alert, it may be our favorite episode ever. We talk about why Seth was crying laughing, whether this would have served as a good season finale and what is going on with Liz Taylor's son. Also, we discuss why no one seems scared or confused about why vampires are running around LA. Tune in in two weeks for our episode 1 rewatch, and our big announcement about what show season 2 of The Parlor will cover. Until then!

We are already 3/4 of the way done with this season and we're revisiting a bunch of storylines we haven't heard from in a while. In this episode we talk about the implausibility of The Countess and Will Drake's wedding, the touching flashback to Ramona's father and we try to figure out where Scarlet is!
As usual, we have a weekly question: which characters do you think will survive the season?
