Jen and David are joined by Ismael and Coco once again to break down, debate, and relish in the extremely satisfying conclusion to Season Two of The White Lotus.
It's our penultimate episode for this run, and of course it's the penultimate episode of The White Lotus. The pot is almost boiled, and we suspect it might not stop boiling when it reaches the top. Did Tanya see Greg in the photo? Is Lucia playing Albie? Will Bert die enjoying the thing that caused him so much pain, one last time?
This week we're joined by Coco, David's partner, who drives the conversation towards the characters psychologies and hidden metaphors.
This week we shoot the ish with Is(mael), Jen's boo, about the stark differences between how the men and women in the show deal with their problems.
Toxic masculinity anyone? This episode is all about that. Come join the discussion!
It's all about sex! At least, that's what we think. Thoughts?
Jen and David dive deep into the pilot for the new season of the anthology series centered around a vacation resort chain for the uber rich.
Jen and David bridge the gap between the last season and the imminent arrival of the next, which focuses on The White Lotus, season two. They discuss marriage, televisions, anxiety, growth, and many others topics.
David is leaving Hawai'i! Why would someone leave paradise? Jen is happy that it's warm in New York. And we dive into the last episode of Under the Banner of Heaven, aptly titled Blood Atonement. We discover that Dan and Ron were indeed behind the murders of Brenda and her baby; Prophet Onias decides to draw the line at a kill list; Detective Pyre is visibly upset that his Church is trying to get in the way of Justice and Detective Taba is removed from Apartment 4E because he's got a great lesso...
We are at the penultimate episode! (for real this time) Brenda gets the go-ahead to "save" The Laffertys, a desire she had from the beginning. Ron had a same-sex experience with an FLDS member that confirms that he is confused about his place in the world sans wife, children and hope. We get to see more of so-called Prophet Onias, Brady and here come two new characters out of nowhere: Chip & Ricky. Jen and David have opposing takes on the line - "If a revelation comes from God, it will cause...
We are at the penultimate episode (just kidding..It's not). Ron seems to be the supervillain. Operative word: seems. Dan has turned into a true Mr. Nasty by trying to convince Matilda that her daughters should be his wives. ick! Detective Taba is still an odd addition to this story...until you read a little about the Paiute and Mormon history. The music still gives nothing, especially when Trader Joe - we mean - Traitor Joe Smith dies dramatically. And a few themes that have us chatting more tha...
They found Bishop Low! ... and he is not dead. That man is fishing. Episode 4 of Under the Banner of Heaven, titled Church and State, shows us the internal struggle Detective Jeb Pyre has when he chooses his job over the demands of Church. It's revealed that Dan's defiance of man's law takes him down an FLDS path that puts his life and the life of his wife in danger. Ron was indeed upset by his own wife's writing of the letter to the President of the Church, denouncing anti-government sentiments...
David and Jen discuss episode 3 of FX's Under the Banner of Heaven. This episode dives more into the distrust between Fundamentalist Mormons and the Government. And we get a look into the minds of someone, like Sam (Rory Culkin) who believes that he heard from God to destroy those on a "list." David and Jen discuss whether Brenda and Erica were on the "list"; How this story attempts to be an authentic Mormon story without an outsider's gaze; the mediocrity of the show's music; How everyone has t...
Season 5 is here! And what better way to start than to review a show - FX's Under the Banner Heaven, starring Andrew Garfield as a Mormon Detective (Jeb) investigating a double homicide - a Mormon wife (Brenda) and daughter (Erica). The suspects are all Mormons, making the Detective's job in some ways easy and other ways hard as he navigates his faith and the faith of those who may just be murderers. In this season's inaugural episode, we discuss the first two episodes - When God Was Love and Ri...
Jen and David discuss the portrayals of DC's Batman over the years. Which Batman did you grow up with? George Clooney? Michael Keaton? Who is your favorite Batman? Who was the worst? The duo discuss their preferences and the reasons for them.
In this bonus episode we consider the potential replacement for Daniel Craig in the James Bond franchise.
