The End

July 05, 2016 23:56 - 1 hour - 148 MB

Listeners, the world has been filled with much turmoil since we last recorded.  Namely of course, Penny Dreadful got abruptly canceled and is now dead like so many dicks.  We're sorry for taking so long to release this episode, as our lives came crashing together and then apart.  That combined with the emotional shattering of the show ending left us all very tender, and it took a while for us to properly arrange our thoughts.  So our last episode covers the last three episodes of Penny Dread...

Penny Dreadful 306 "No Beast so Fierce"

June 07, 2016 21:51 - 1 hour - 113 MB

On this episode of Penny Dreadful, we see some things that collective make us all let out the sails and sail out to sea in our "ship" ship. Our lovely Lyle comes back, only to break our hearts, Vanessa gets a new lady friend that we swoon over, and Ethan finishes dying his Edgelord hair black and sits down for what might be the most awkward family dinner. We also get into Dorian and Lily's prostitute army and how Justine isn't just lusty for blood, she's down right cray. This week we are j...

Penny Dreadful 305 "The World is Our Hell"

June 01, 2016 13:05 - 2 hours - 166 MB

Listeners, if you had started to appreciate the academic and grown up vibe that we've been getting into this season then we are sorry (not sorry) for ruining it this episode.  Steph returns along with special guest Kym Stonick to spend an awful lot of time talking about cave fucking.  We also discuss how Rusk keeps his arm polished, Frekyll being dicks to each other, and manage to fit in some good discussion about this...questionable episode. Your hosts are Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), Ni...

The day we've all (well maybe except Lord Tennyson) been waiting for has finally arrived! Season 3 is here and boy oh boy did it come in firing on all cylinders. Ives is in Murray Manor doing her best impression of an early 2000's emo teen, Sir Malcolm is in Africa, Ethan is in chains on a train, and Frankenstein has reunited with an old friend. If all of that weren't fantastic enough this episode also drops a huuuuge bombshell as it cuts to black. Daddy issues, stuffed animals and brigands ...
