Chatz: A Television Podcast

The ChatzKidz employ several clunky metaphors to describe the experience of watching these Sense8 episodes. When you can tell a show is canceled before its intended end, what remains but a handful of…

Season Four of TNG brings with it much stronger scripts, emotional gut punch after emotional gut punch, and...Data's girlfriend! The Chatz gang dive deep into what is considered by many to be the bes…

Happy Fucking New Year! We're excited to kick off a hopefully outstanding 2023 with some Sense8 episodes that we hope precede an outstanding back third of the season.

Also, a quick production note: we…

They can't all be winners, folks. Maybe we're getting jaded, but this much earnest goofy nonsense can only take a story so far. The biggest tragedy of these episodes is that a major character, CRUCIA…

"Obligate mutualisms" is just fun to say. Try it! And in this episode of Chatz8, we the hosts become a sort of obligate mutualism with you the listener. You need us to say "Crooms" in a funny voice, …

Sense8 is back with a holiday special to break in the new season! We're still on the run, and the holidays bring both trials AND tribulations for our sensational pals. Allen finds a kinship in the ch…

Everyone has something useful to contribute. Maybe you're a driver, a martial artist, or a professional actor. But maybe you're two nerdy podcasters? Where then do the ChatzKidz fall in a theoretical…

Capheus Onyango is a classic "fictional character I wish was real", Lito and Nomi share an incredibly beautiful tender moment, and the ChatzKidz are frankly eating it right up. Next week, we're finis…

Amanita is a super sleuth, Lito is feeling all the emotions at once, and Chatz is still enjoying Sense8 this week! The episodes are good, the themes are clear, and we imagine a Sense8 that's just the…

Sense8 continues apace, bringing with it themes of queer love in hard times, the flexibility of gendered emotions, and the exact difference between hash and cigarettes. What a season, what a season.

C…

This month, we fulfill your wildest fantasies by reviving our discussions of these two fantasy revivals. Is the House full of Dragons? And just how Powerful are these Rings? Listen to the episode and…

Sense8 continues to ask the question "How corny is too corny?" this week, and we had a great time discussing the slowly unraveling mythology of the series, its earnest anti-capitalist stint, and of c…

Let us return to 2015 for a moment. The world was in a terrifying place, elections were coming in the US, but...guys, gay marriage was legalized in the US by the Supreme Court! It is this earnest lig…

To give ourselves time to sync up with the eight individuals comprising Chatz across the world (it's really just us right now...unless...) we are re-broadcasting a formerly Patreon-exclusive episode …

When Picard said "make it so," we didn't realize he meant make it so...good! (Season 3 of TNG, that is). This time around we engage with some brewing tensions with the Romulans, your classic Troi/Rik…

Let us go back to a time when event television meant discussing the latest goings on in Westeros. Or perhaps when a trip to the movies meant checking in with Frodo and his little friends? This month …

Well, this is it folks. Kevin takes one last exciting trip to dream world to find some answers we may or may not have needed. And then, in the series finale, Nora and Kevin have a totally chill conve…

We reference this article in the first half of the episode. I promise it'll make sense: https://www.avclub.com/this-lion-fucks-1844904182

The second episode discussion features a very frank discussion…

Kevin Sr. begins a walkabout of sorts, which is fine and good I guess. But then his tale intersects with one of the mysterious horsemen from last week, and we're off to the races. In our second episo…

The Leftovers season 3 opens with a bang as the Guilty Remnant situation is taken care of, parallels are made in the distant past, and the future looks...stranger. Perfectly so, you might say. Yester…
