If you are a teen boy wondering if you should do a striptease for your erstwhile girlfriend's birthday at a restaurant during a party attended by PARENTS, we have some advice. Bottom line: don't do it. Also, Max is being bossy and Jim is pissing us off with his cop shit. On Roswell New Mexico, there is A LOT happening. Some of it sweet, some of it shocking and some of it making us wish that there were 7-9 more eps this season to fully explore. Plus, Maria is in mortal danger, and Ryan is not hap...

This week on Roswell, it's time for Max to make a stand, Kyle to talk Buddha and Maria to wear very short skirts. We are definitely in the second season, people. Over on Roswell New Mexico, one scene may have single-handedly turned Ryan into a Steph/Kyle shipper. We also get Michael using his powers to be a badass, Diego demonstrating Acts of Service, and Max holding Liz responsible for her evil scientist shenanigans.

Season two of Roswell begins, bringing with it makeovers for human and alien alike. Over on Roswell, New Mexico, Liz lives her nightmare while the aliens go on a road trip to uncover their past. It's a lot, and that's not even mentioning the last 45secs of WILDNESS that leaves Ryan and Patrick straight up shook.

Who knew that the name of Roswell's season one finale combined with the name of the ninth episode of season two of Roswell, New Mexico would be so alliterative and cute? Not Ryan, until titling this episode of the podcast. Destiny & the Diner sounds like the perfect cozy romance novel to read during quarantine.

This week, Max is trapped in the White Room and Roswell is all the better for it. The aliens work together, X-men style while their human steadies give themselves ulcers waiting to see if Max can be rescued. Ryan and Patrick also debate whether the alien four are even aliens at all or simply "humans of alien origin." And if you were wondering whether Ryan is happy to find out that Ben Kenobi was supposed to be looking out for Luke back on Tattooine. Well, she is NOT. All of that, plus a fun epis...

This week there are more Max's than usual. On OG Roswell, the alien four are reunited and the humans just want to talk about feelings. That works out because that's what Ryan wants to talk about, too. Well, feelings and procedural Bones. Luckily, Patrick is up for both! They also dig into the return of Liz's mom, emergence of Maria's superpowers and whatever the heck is up with Kyle.
May 01, 2020•1 hr 17 min•Season 2Ep. 7
This week Patrick and Ryan discuss alien-related revelations, analyze sexy dreams and lament the limited screen-time for Kyle Valenti. If OG Roswell comes up short with Kyle, Roswell NM corrects the error by putting Hot Doctor Kyle in glitter and crystals. It's a look guys, and Ryan is still recovering.
Apr 23, 2020•1 hr 29 min
This week, Patrick and Ryan talk chemistry class make-outs, busted little brothers, and remote camera hobbies on Roswell. Next, they talk the latest episode of Roswell, New Mexico and important issues such as: can you forgive a friend for bashing another friend in the head with a thesaurus? Patrick and Ryan agree that you cannot.
Apr 16, 2020•1 hr 18 min•Season 2Ep. 5
This week we discover exactly what Max does that makes Ryan so mad at him that she doesn’t forgive him for many episodes. Patrick and Ryan also determine every OG Roswell character’s fave make out spot and marvel over the power of a bad curly wig to render Julie Benz unrecognizable. Over on Roswell NM, a lot happens but our hosts find time to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of long-running procedural Bones.

What happens when you sit down to watch an episode of your favorite show with your close friend only to be reminded that this is the episode where Liz and Max are turned on, like the WHOLE time? If you are Ryan and Patrick, you find much to discuss including what the sexiest of all fruit is and whether a single alien teen needs two bottles of syrup. Over on Roswell, NM, we get forties flashbacks, a hunky take on spirit Max and the inevitable hurt feelings that result from keeping a life changing...

This week, hosts Ryan and Patrick discuss the Michael-centric Independence Day, and lay out the importance of rules when playing the Monopoly game. At around 37mins, they transition to a Rosa-centric ep of Roswell, NM wherein all of the characters are taking control of their choices. This show is really good, guys! I mean, it may also push Ryan to the edge with multi-shipping, but totally worth it.
Mar 25, 2020•1 hr 16 min•Season 2Ep. 2
This week, Ryan and newly-minted co-host Patrick Ehlers cover a drunk Max, a dead Max, a glittery Liz, a grieving Liz and a bunch of others who are in totally different head spaces than the characters that share their names. First, after an ep of OG Roswell, our hosts explore the realities of being in a band and whether a radio show needs a camera crew. Then, the hosts watch the second season premiere of Roswell, New Mexico and get hella psyched about the season ahead!

This week, all-star guests Colin Morris and Patrick Ehlers are on mic to break down the events of Roswell's The Convention. We debate the alien's "Mud" strategy, decide which Roswell character would be a good podcast guest and fall in love with Mrs. Deluca. That last one is mainly Colin. Next we cover the cuckoobananapants season finale of Roswell, New Mexico. Max two-fists some lightning, finally beds Liz, and forces a healing onto Michael. It's wild and we have a great time trying to bre...

Patrick Ehlers is back to discuss some really good (and Alex-lite) episodes. First, we break down the nuances of Maria and Michael's conflict which pretty much break down to maybe you just say what your friend needs to hear? Either that or a spring-loaded napkin holder. Also, poor Isabel. Though I guess it's worse for Isobel. Her husband is an evil alien. Before we get to that reveal, the gang gets all dolled up, Michael and Max have a heart-to-heart and Liz once again proved that she is no one'...

This week, guest Nicole Villela is here to live through single episode that takes Max and Liz from first kiss through tearful break up. It's a lot of teen drama and the only cure is a boatload of adult drama on Roswell, NM. Isobel's memories of pursuing and murdering Rosa really put a damper on her picnic plans with Noah, but it's great for us, because now the alien serial killer is really starting to take shape. Nicole is adamant that the shape is Noah. Also, Maria is unfazed by all the murders...

Holy moly! Things are getting hot hot hot with returning guest Kelly Nugent. We cover perhaps the shippiest ep of Roswell, Heatwave. In one episode there are extended make outs (hot), barefoot sweeping (not), and a Save Ferris cameo dance sequence (foxtrot?). After a full breakdown on Liz's Rave Top, we move on to an episode of Roswell, New Mexico. We get another take on Michael/Maria hookups and first kisses for Max/Liz. Of course, on this show things are way more complicated as Isobel is pod-b...

Patrick Ehlers is back because fellow guest Jen Kleinrock and I want to make sure he has some exposure to Alex so that he can fall in love with him on both shows. We sort of get our wish as Patrick is exposed to OG Alex's bass-playing, ride-or-die-or-give-blood mentality, and hacker skillz. On the other hand, #RoswellNM Alex doesn't quite deliver the goods, but that could be our fault for laughing for a solid 3 minutes at Sgt. Manes' weak attempt to hide his secret lair rather than focusing on t...

This week, on Roswell we get an unholy alliance between Topolsky and Valenti, a reunion for two halves of a necklace, and the first union of Michael and Maria's lips. Yeah, sorry, that was gross, but it was just to calm you down. Vanessa Singleton is back to talk all of the post-road trip shenanigans and to offer a warning against following strange men into the desert. Then, we get into the episode of Roswell, New Mexico that introduces us to Mama Deluca, reinforces that Alex and Noah are the be...

Colin Morris returns to discuss my first favorite episode of Roswell and (not at all coincidentally) the true beginning of the Michael/Maria ship. While I try to contain myself over all the spar-flirting, we also cover set dressing on a budget. The key? Use lots of velvet. Next, we talk for a long, long time about all of the plot points and our resultant theories after Roswell NM's flashback episode. Is Isabel being controlled by evil aliens? Does Kyle feel regret over being such a d-ck in high ...

This week it's time to talk missing journals and secret bunkers with guest Kelly Nugent. First, we savor the moment of ultimate Michael/Liz shippiness. About 28 mins in, we start talking #RoswellNM, but really it's all about that Isobel reveal. So many secrets spilled, plus IRL one of us is considering Crocs!! (Spoiler: it's Kelly. I would never!)
Feb 13, 2019•1 hr 13 min
This week, guest Patrick Ehlers and I get down to the real issues, like parents who plot against their children's TV desires, teachers who give guff to the first one done with a test, and whether Rookie of the Year is old enough to be Hot Doctor Kyle's dad. Oh, and we also talk about the episode of Roswell where Liz's Grandmother Claudia comes to town only to have a stroke and make me cry. On Roswell NM, the town is dealing with the aftermath of Max's electric tantrum. In both cases, Max asserts...

This week's guest is Colin Morris, my bud from the podcast Same Day Shipping. We break down whether "Max goes to a museum" is enough to carry a B-plot and share in an appreciation of OG Maria. At 25:38, we transition to Roswell, NM and the very adult problems of these people who have the same names (this is tough for Colin at first). Eventually, we sort the ships from the misses and decide that it's okay if your partner isn't your person.

This week guest Jen Kleinrock is here to discuss the second episodes of two divergent alien-human dramas. We agree on Max's cuteness, the need for even more Michael/Alex make outs and Liz's general awesomeness. We disagree about OG Kyle Valenti and whether it is normal to do some ballroom dancing in spilled milkshake. Roswell '99 talk lasts until 20:00 and then we get into Roswell, NM.

This week, guest Vanessa Singleton joins Ryan for a pilot-apolooza. With Roswell, Vanessa has her first exposure to an alien using ketchup as a cover for blood and clearly not her first exposure to Dave Matthews Band (there is some animosity there). At 33:45, the pair change gears to discuss the first episode of Roswell, NEW Mexico, and discover that making everyone adults automatically ups the tension and stakes. Plus, hot Doctor Kyle and a broody make out between the grumpiest alien and ...
