First they came for Hollywood. Today they come for TV. In just a few weeks MARVEL'S THE DEFENDERS, a small-screen version of The Avengers, will arrive on Netflix, bringing together 4 street level super-heroes normally cordoned off to their own shows in one giant TV event.

How long has it been? Too long, but finally we're back to talking LOUIE! After the first two seaons, how much has our hero changed? How far has he come? How much has he learned? Truthfully, not a lot, but that's not the point. This is a show of skits and one-offs, with no regard of continuity, consistency or growth...Or so we thoughtominoustone.

What's the saying? Better late than never? Although we recorded this weeks ago, some exciting new releases demanded our attention and only now can we finally get this episode to you. Here it is, our wrap up podcast on the ground-breaking Australian dramedy Please Like Me! The Gordes brothers return to discuss Season 4 and this time they are not alone! Damask, freshly returned from her trip to the land of the rising sun joins Brod and Liam to give her less enthusiastic take on the series. What is...

It’s old gods vs new gods as Damask and Brod sink their teeth into the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved book AMERICAN GODS. Our “protagonist” Shadow Moon is thrust into a world of gods, demigods and leprechauns as he helps his new boss recruit for the war to end all wars. Things get complicated when the Gods of old start attacking our beloved iPhones and dating apps. Will our hosts continue to worship at the altar of Facebook? Or will they go back to the days of their ancestors and start s...

IT'S HERE! In very un-Hunting Seasons like fashion, we have a podcast about a recently aired show in a relatively timely manner, Orange Is The New Black: Season 5! And aren't you lucky, it's a jumbo sized episode! Listen in as Brod and Damask deep-dive into a post-binge discussion of this highly anticipated season! As per the last season, things pick up right where we left off. The prisoners are rioting, Daya has a gun to C.O. Humphrey’s head and Taystee wants justice for Poussey. Did the season...

SEASON 5 IS NEARLY HERE! But we can't eat that yummy treat until we finish our Season 4 dinner first. When last we left there had been a mass-inmate-escape and the newly free women headed straight to...a lake to take a bit of a dip. Meanwhile a bunch of new prisoners and COs from Max were being bussed into Litchfield and Alex stood face-to-face with a hitman hired to take her out. Will this season divide Damask and Brod like the last, or can 13 new eps get our hosts back on the same page? Also, ...

With Vee out of the picture things seem to be returning to normal at Litchfield Penitentiary. Alex is back after Piper dobbed her in for breaking her parole and Caputo has stepped into Fig's old role to finally run the prison right, right? Oh, and Australia's own androgynous beauty Ruby Rose joins the cast. Does season three of Orange Is The New Black return to the heights of the first, or is the show still cursed with last seasons short comings? Join hosts Brod and Damask as they catch up on al...

Damask is back and just in time! A brand new season of Orange Is The New Black is nearly here, and in an effort to be ready the Hunting Seasons hosts have some cramming to do! This week, OITNB Season 2. After her beat down on Pennsatucky, Piper has been enjoying some alone-time in the SHU until finally getting pulled out and shoved on a plane to...somewhere. Back at Lichfield someone new (yet also old) has moved (back) in as Lorraine Toussaint joins the cast as the outright villainous Mama Vee. ...

Whilst Damask is lost in translation, Liam remains by Brod's side for another week to discuss a little bit more Please Like Me. At the start of season 3 Josh and Arnold are kinda-sorta but not really together, Alan and Mei are on the rocks, Rose and Hannah are getting used to living together and Tom is still lonely and pathetic. What a hilarious set-up for a season of light hearted comedy. Too bad it's all ruined by the adorkable Ella played by Emily Barclay. Such a shame.Actually, this season i...

Liam returns to fill in for a globe-trotting Damask as he and Brod put the second season of Please Like Me under the microscope. Approximately a year has past since Aunt Peg's funeral and things have definitely changed. Josh has moved back in with Tom and new housemate Patrick. Geoffrey is nowhere to be seen and, for that matter, neither is Claire. Instead, Niamh is somehow seeing Tom again and Alan and Mae have had a baby girl, Grace! Rose meanwhile is acting a little too chipper, with a puppy ...

Since Brod was allowed to gush about Avatar for 3 episodes, it's only fair that Damask get to chose the first show from our 'Recommend' category. In doing so, she has treated Brod to one of her favourite shows (which he has tragically not watched before), the Netflix original series ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK. Based on the memoirs of a true-life ex-inmate, ORANGE begins as Piper Chapman enters into Litchfield Penitentiary, a minimum security womens prison, where she will serve out a 15 month senten...

Though the shame of quitting Twin Peaks still hangs over us, Hunting Seasons presses-on to the next item on the 'Must Watch' list: LOUIE. Created, written, directed and starring prolific stand up comic Louis C.K., Louie is a series of semi-autobiographical short stories (almost skits) about the divorced middle-aged lead living in New York City and trying to make his comedy career work whilst also raising two daughters. Often hilarious, occasionally depressing and always clever, Louie makes it on...

We are back and rising from the ashes of whatever that was last week. This episode Hunting Seasons travels back to the now to discuss the latest project from the unendingly talented Donald Glover. 'Atlanta' is an american TV series exploring the lives of Earn and 'Paper Boi', a pair of African-American cousins trying to make it big in the rap scene. With a setting and topics like these, Brod and Damask couldn't be less qualified to talk about it. Yet they have. Tune in to see just how many times...

Breaking Bad is done and dusted, so it's finally time to jump into a new show from our 'Must Watch' category. This week Brod, Damask and special guest Loren de Jong head to the sleepy little town of Twin Peaks, where trees are majestic, the people are mysterious, and the coffee is damn fine. With a new season arriving soon, what will our host make of this 25 year old cult classic? Will they be drawn in by it's oddball charm and cast of eccentric characters, or will they be driven slowly insane a...

Hunting Seasons isn't just about old shows! It's about the new, shiny hotness too! This week Damask and Brod take on the first show in their 'Currently Airing' category, the reasonably new (ie: started last year) hit HBO show Westworld!

Defying all odds, Brod and Damask have made it through the complete series of Breaking Bad. Joining them for this momentous podcast is Brod's little brother Liam, who is pretty much the main reason they decided to watch and discuss this show first. With only 8 episodes left can Breaking Bad stick the landing and end on a high, or have the writers jazz-written themselves into a corner with no satisfying escape? And finally, is Breaking Bad really worthy of it's place amongst the greatest shows ev...

Lets just be upfront about it, Damask and Brod did not like the ending of Breaking Bad Season 4. With one season (slash two half seasons) to go, can Vince Gilligan and his writers get our hosts back on board before the impending finale? With Gus Fring out of the picture, a power vacuum has been left in his wake, and Walter White thinks he is just the one to fill it. He can't do it alone, but after all the chaos of recent times, will Jessie and Mike play their part in building the Heisenberg meth...

Jessie and Walt have done the unthinkable to buy themselves some time, but they need a long-term plan if they are to survive the drug lord Gus Fring.
