E151: The Patient - Episode 9 - Auschwitz PLUS: The Watcher (Netflix) AND: The problem with Ryan Murphy shows
Another mixed reaction to the show which just seemed to have found its rhythm. A lot happens but this show needs to do a lot of work to tie itself together in i…
E149: Halloween Ends - Review and Spoilers PLUS:Hellraiser (Hulu) AND: Werewolf By Night (Disney+)
Halloween Ends? I hope that's a promise. What a disappointing conclusion and that is given the mostly terrible list of films that preceded it. I do have my own corrections that may have helped to sal…
E148: The Patient - Episode 8 - Ezra PLUS: The Midnight Club (Netflix) AND: A Friend of the Family (Peacock)
mailto:needssomeintroduction.com
We have the absolute high point of the series, to date, with an excellent episode that makes some of the shakiest moments in the series worth while. Let's hope the qu…
E147:House of the Dragon - Episode 8 - The Lord of the Tides
Another time jump may finally get us to our final cast configuration (maybe?). Although often unintentionally funny, the episode is thoroughly eventful. Beware maesters baring the milk of the poppy.
E146:The Patient - Episode 7 - Kaddish
The best episode we have seen of the show. Can it find its way with just 3 episodes to go?
E145: House of the Dragon - Season 1 - Episode 7 - Driftmark
One of the most gorgeous episodes of the show (and so full of ugly human interactions). We have a truly impressive dragon sequence. Let's hope the next time jump is not too jarring.
E144: The Patient - Episode 6 PLUS: Dahmer Monster (Netflix)
After getting my hopes up, last week, The Patient is back in a rut. I still have no idea what I am supposed to be paying attention to, at this point.
Then two very long conversations about the merit…
E143: House of the Dragon - Season 1 - Episode 6 - The Princess and The Queen
Wait a second? Did we miss a season of TV? This is another excellently crafted episode of TV but I think they dropped a couple of the scripts somewhere. Arguably, the most interesting events may have…
E142: The Patient - Episode 5 - Pastitsio PLUS: Do Revenge (Netflix) and Adnan Syed’s release
A much better episode of The Patient, this week. I have some hope that the show has some surprises to come.
Plus, Sona and I discuss the vacating of Adnan Syed's conviction. (24:00)
Finally, we dis…
E141: House of the Dragon - Episode 5 - We Light the Way
Another solid episode. We don't get a red wedding... but it doesn't go great.
E140: The Patient Episode 4 PLUS: Barbarian - Review and Spoilers
Sona and I have seen a slightly better episode of The Patient, this week. But it may be too little too late for Sona.
Then Celia and I break down the very entertaining new horror film, Barbarian.
E139: House of the Dragon - Episode 4 - King of the Narrow Sea
The show tops itself again with an episode about the power of sex; as a tool, as a commodity and as a weapon.
E138: The Patient - Episode 3 - Issues PLUS: Thoroughbreds (HBO Max)
Sona and I discuss the third episode of The Patient on Hulu. We still cannot get our bearings on this show and we are not enjoying it, so far. The short run time which seemed like a positive, at firs…
E137: House of the Dragon - Season 1 - Episode 3 - Second of His Name
Best episode yet.
E136: The Patient - Episode 1 and 2 (Hulu)
Sona and I recap the rocky start to the new Hulu thriller, The Patient.
E135:House of the Dragon - Episode 2 - The Rogue Prince
Another strong episode (in my opinion). The show is finding its footing. Celia has a little less patience for it. I do agree that there is a few too many council meetings.
E134: Only Murders In the Building - Season 2 Finale! PLUS: Bodies Bodies Bodies
If you just want to hear the Bodies Bodies Bodies review, jump to 23:00
emailto:[email protected]
We make it to the end of the season. I find this season less entertaining, overall, tha…
E133: House of the Dragon - Premiere PLUS: Fixing the final season of Game of Thrones
We are happy to report that so far, the House of the Dragon gives us all the fan service we would hope for and some meaty new characters. Hopefully, the quality stays high.
Plus, I finally get all my…
E132: She Hulk - Episode 1 PLUS:Better Call Saul - More Finale Thoughts AND: Breaking Down the Upcoming MCU Slate
First, Nick and I discuss the finale of Better Call Saul. I still have conflicted feelings and I can articulate them a bit after few days of reflection. Then we add another song to our musical daisy…
