E131: Better Call Saul - Season 6 Episode 13 - Saul Gone - Series Finale! - Instant Reaction
It comes down to this. Peter Gould writes and directs the series finale. We get a fitting end to Saul/Jimmy's saga.
E130: Black Bird - Season Finale PLUS: Prey (Hulu) AND: Bo Burnham Inside Outtakes (Netflix)
Black Bird delivers a solid season but with perhaps the weakest episode. It's still worth a watch. Then we add another link to our musical daisy chain before giving a brief positive review of Prey on…
E129: Better Call Saul - Season 6 Episode 12 - Waterworks
Vince Gilligan gets to write and direct one last episode. It's a good one although more in line with this shows normal low-key rhythms rather than the spectacle of Breaking Bad.
E128: Better Call Saul - Season 6 - Episode 11 - Breaking Bad
Another excellent episode of the show as we approach the end. After a subdued episode, last week, that seemed to offer Saul a graceful bow out of his trickster background, it seems that he may now be…
E127: The Gray Man (Netflix) Plus: Black Bird - Episode 5 AND: More Nope Spoilers AND: Bluey Season 3
Timestamps:
The Gray Man (12:00)
Nope (28:00)
Black Bird (38:00)
First, I have to announce the the imminent return of Bluey for a third season (a big event at my house). Then I discuss the Russo Brot…
E126: Better Call Saul - Season 6 - Episode 10 - Nippy
Gene Takovik episodes are not as exciting as Saul Goodman episodes (or Jimmy McGill episodes, for that matter) but maybe that is the point.
Plus, many digressions on the value (or lack thereof) of t…
E125: Nope - Review and Spoilers PLUS: The Old Man - Season Finale AND Black Bird Episodes 1-4
A brief spoiler free Nope review followed by a full critique of the disastrous first season of The Old Man. Then we discuss the far more successful AppleTV+ series, Black Bird which hits its stride t…
E124: Better Call Saul - Season 6 - Episode 9 - Fun and Games PLUS: Thoughts on Only Murders in the Building
Another very strong episode in this final stretch. We probably now know Kim's fate and we get to see Gustavo at his most unguarded.
We also briefly discuss the very entertaining recent episodes of O…

E122: Better Call Saul - Season 6 - Episode 8 - Point and Shoot
Sona and I discuss this very eventful episode of TV. We say goodbye to one of the greatest characters on this show (and maybe EVER).
E121: The Boys Season 3 - Finale - Episode 8 PLUS: Thor Love and Thunder mini-review (no spoilers)
mailto:[email protected]
I don't get what I was hoping for in this season finale but there are some tantalizing threads left dangling as season 4 options. It does often feel like the sh…
E120: Only Murders in the Building - Season 2 Episode 3 PLUS: The Bear (Hulu)
mailto:[email protected]
Sona and I discuss the funny (and surprisingly poignant) reclamation of Bunny Folger as Only Murders in the Building gives her her dignity in presenting her fin…
E119: The Boys - Season 3 - Episode 7 - Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed
Lots of set up this week... and a few surprises, too. We are still headed for a battle royale, next week but the configurations of the participants looks to be significantly different.
E118: Only Murders In the Building - Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2 PLUS: The Old Man - Episode 3
Charles, Mabel and Oliver are back trying to solve Bunny's death. Sona and I are both so surprised to discover the affection we have for these characters. These first 2 episodes are like a warm cup o…
E117: The Boys - Season 3 Episode 6 - Herogasm PLUS: More Obi Wan Kenobi Conversation (Spoilers)
mailto:needssomeintroduction.com
We get the initial superpowered fistfight between Homelander, Butcher and Soldier Boy... with a little assist from Hughie. Starlight takes to Instagram to expose the …
E116: Obi Wan Kenobi FINALE - Part VI PLUS: The Old Man (FX HULU)
Obi Wan Kenobi unfortunately had few tricks up his robe to course correct this mediocre season of TV (and if you are not a Star Wars fan, this is a complete waste of time).
On the positive side, I g…
E115: The Boys - Season 3 - Episode 5 - The Last Time to Look On This World of Lies PLUS: Obi-Wan Kenobi Part V AND Spiderhead AND Love Death and Robots
We get a solid episode of The Boys (despite its ridiculous title). Forces are lining up against Homelander. I really do hope he gets some kind of comeuppance this season. Plus I give a pretty decent …
E114: Barry - Season 3 FINALE Episode 8 - starting now PLUS: Pistol (FX)
Barry ends season 3 with a completely unexpected finale (at least by me). Where can they possibly go in season 4?
Plus I recommend Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols docudrama "Pistol"
E113: The Boys - Season 3 Episode 4 -Glorious Five Year Plan PLUS: Ms Marvel AND more Obi Wan Kenobi Discussion
The Boys puts out an interesting episode this week; a good balance of humor and horror. I am curious to see where this is headed in the second half.
Then Nick joins me to discuss what is going on in …
E112: Obi Wan Kenobi - Part IV PLUS: Shining Girls - Finale, More Barry Talk, and Reservation Dogs
Obi Wan Kenobi gets worse and worse. The Shining Girls wraps up its first season and I did like it (although I am not sure I understand it). Plus we talk more Barry and I recommend Hulu/FX's Reservat…
