So we've been on hiatus for a little while, but we're back with a super special episode! Mia sat down (over the internet...) with Ahn Mur, Assistant Art Director on Season 1 of The Umbrella Academy, to learn all about what goes on behind the scenes in the world of set design, getting into the biz, and who the nicest cast member to bump into on set was. Plus we learn the inspiration behind the walls of Klaus' bedroom! Art Departmental: Interview with Set Decorator Jim Lambie: https://artdepartmen...

IT'S THE FINALE! We did it, friends. We made it to the end. And what an end it was. In this episode, we go through S01E10 of The Umbrella Academy, "The White Violin", and honestly probably come away with more questions than answers. Join us as we talk about things like that mysterious opening scene with Reggie Hargreeves, Pogo's fate, and how the patriarchy ruins everything.

We can't believe we've only got one episode left of Season 1! This time round we're talking all about S01E09 of The Umbrella Academy, "Changes", featuring our thoughts on how Hargreeves covers up all those nanny deaths, how terrifying Vanya is at the age of 4, the Rise and Fall of Leonard's Creep, and the imagined conversation between Cha-Cha and Agnes.

This episode, Josh and Mia discuss the super dramatic S01E08 of The Umbrella Academy, “I Heard a Rumor”, featuring Klaus Hargreeves’ trousers, Allison’s ability to disguise herself, and some might say a little too much talk about Agnes. (Mia personally thinks there’s no such thing…)

It’s been a little delayed, but you know what they say: it’s better to put out a podcast episode late in this world than early in the next… or something like that, right? In this one, we’re talking S01E07 of The Umbrella Academy, “The Day That Was”, which means we're talking Creepy Harold, the return of the rave, and James Bond. Remember to follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and let us know where in the world you're listening from!

Josh is back! This time we talk all about S01E06 of The Umbrella Academy, 'The Day That Wasn't' - and there is sooo much to talk about! It's entirely possible that we go off on some dubiously related tangents, but we also attempt to talk about music & choreography in that beautiful Allison/Luther scene, work out what Vanya's power might be, and get into more detail on Klaus and Dave

In this episode, Mia is joined by special guest Zoe to talk about S01E05 of The Umbrella Academy, 'Number Five'. (See what they did there? 😏) Join us to hear our takes on The Handler's fashion choices, Hazel & Agnes's blossoming relationship, and what happened with Klaus and Dave! And of course, we couldn't talk about this episode without talking Vanya, violins, and Creepy Leonard... You can find Zoe @zoerhiannon_ on Twitter and Instagram!

This episode, Josh and Mia talk through The Umbrella Academy S01E03: ‘Extra Ordinary’. This time we cover Creepy Leonard, which of the Hargreeves siblings' powers we'd choose to have, and flipping the script on the millennials narrative, plus much more - like how Diego's really a big softy, Allison shows her badassery, and Klaus and Ben have the best banter of all.
