Ten of Swords (0410)
August 04, 2019 21:44 - 108 MBTen of Swords (0410) It's the end of an era, you guys! If you've stuck it out, you have made it to a series finale that respects the viewer. Joe and Cameron don't get a happily ever after (yes, we're still salty about it), but it appears that Cameron and Donna do. And this is Drama Mamas approved. Joe makes a decision about what kind of impact he wants to have on the future. We touch on how our main players have changed since the pilot episode, and how far they've come. This series did n...
Search (0409)
July 28, 2019 23:03 - 119 MBSearch (0409) This week we jump ahead 4 months. Comet is poised for their next big move. A new commercial is ready, complete with an appearance by the late Gordon Clark, and the even later Haley with long hair. Joe has a plan to maximize Comet to work best with Netscape who he feels is the next big thing. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?! Haley is going through something between the Weiner World girl and being put in a commercial without consent, she's having a bad week. Joanie, also feeling lost, goes...

Who Needs a Guy (0407)
July 05, 2019 12:43 - 70.8 MBWho Needs A Guy (0407) This week Cam is in the zone. She's excited about the works she is doing. Joe, however, is in a completely different zone. And they are so out of sync. Boz and Diane finally make it official. And he invites Cameron as his daughter. Trip talks to Donna about Rover. And she discusses that info with Gordon. This inspires Gordon to rethink the future of Comet and Joe is worried Donna is setting them up for failure. THE REST IS TOO EMOTIONAL TO TYPE ABOUT. Follow us on...
A Connection is Made (0406)
June 27, 2019 12:07 - 139 MBA Connection is Made (0406) This week Donna has a problem. And it's not that suit and chunky jewelry. Gordon and Haley go head to head and we learn a little more about his younger daughter. Joe is emotionally sensitive, maintaining the balance of improving his EQ and his natural BDE. Cameron is done with tech. So she gets the internet hooked up at her place in the sticks. Watch it on Netflix, and then hear our take on it.

Nowhere Man (0405)
June 19, 2019 18:21 - 72.3 MBNowhere Man (0405) This week light is cast in the darkest corners and SECRETS ARE REVEALED. Donna knows she's been lied to, and she's not having it. She plays some serious mind games this episode and we are Here. For. It. Gordon makes some health related decisions, Joe spins his wheels, and Boz has a FREAKIN' HEART ATTACK. Also Cameron tells Joe her big secret. Let's wait together for that other shoe to drop. Follow us on Twitter: @dramamamaspod @norwegiayeah @cook1eslay3r Insta: @dr...
Tonya and Nancy (0404)
May 29, 2019 16:18 - 62.1 MBTonya and Nancy (0404) This week mistakes are made. Donna's team is feeling the heat as Rover stumbles while Comet flourishes. Gordon and Joe tailor the site with experts in each category of their curated index. Haley finds her tribe in Comet and gains some confidence. Cameron struggles to get her groove back, buying property and a camper and marching off beat to her own drum. When Boz asks her for help, she freely gives it without a thought for what that means for the Comet vs Rover race...
Miscellaneous (0403)
May 20, 2019 19:04 - 109 MBMiscellaneous (0403) This week Haley is a star. Joe and Gordon bargain with her for her website, enamored with the idea of her take on an internet index. Enter Comet. Also enter discord between Joe and Gordon. Donna is having trouble finding balance in her attitude and life. She awkwardly navigates managing Rover and has a full on passive aggressive episode with Cameron. Oh, yeah, Cameron also has some drama at a conference, and has to face facts regarding Pilgrim. We're on Insta! Meme Mo...
Signal to Noise (0402)
May 14, 2019 14:34 - 99.1 MBSignal to Noise (0402) This week we get a major throwback to the days of tying up phone lines for hours with your boo. Joe and Cameron reconnect via landline. Meanwhile, MCI is screwing Gordon over in a major way. CalNet's days are numbered. Haley is ALIVE, and her teen angst coupled with her genetic predisposition to nerdiness makes her an interesting addition we wouldn't be upset to see again. Donna has competition at work, and everyone there is failing to notice her BDE is far superior ...
So It Goes (0401)
May 06, 2019 18:18 - 117 MBSo It Goes (0401) This week we fly through time. And no, it was not in a TARDIS. It was in a red plaid shirt that apparently Gordon has a huge affinity for. Three years pass. And Cameron is nowhere to be found. The browser/doorway/Rosetta Stone is dead in the water, although Joe refuses to give up. Being an internet service provider, however, is paying well and Gordon's side of the business is thriving. He tries to pull Joe from the dark side, but Joe is living in denial and trying to find ...

NeXT (0310)
April 21, 2019 16:34 - 72.9 MBNeXT This week THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER. Briefly. Joe and Cameron lay eyes on one another for the first time since they laid some other things on each other. You may be thinking that Joe won't be able to resist infusing all his words with heavy subtext, and you'd be dead right. Gordon brings his signature wet blanket to the table, but Tom will not be outdone in this area. Donna, the architect of this project, keeps the ball rolling, oiling wheels and playing referee when needed. In the ...
1000 Apologies (not technically an episode)
April 09, 2019 17:34 - 23.7 MB1000 Apologies (not technically and episode) This week The Drama Mamas had some distracting drama. Sorry 'bout it. We fully intend to talk about Episode 9 next week.

You Are Not Safe (0308)
April 01, 2019 01:37 - 136 MBYou Are Not Safe (0308) This week the emotional abuse continues. Post vote, Cameron is isolated from the rest of the core cast, trying to heal.

And She Was (0306)
March 20, 2019 18:52 - 127 MBAnd She Was (0306) This week Joe and Ryan dream big and get a lot accomplished. Until Ken (Shaggy from the live action Scooby Doo) ruins everything and takes away Joe's power. Except you can take Joe out of a place of power, but you can't take the power out of Joe mf'n McMillan. Gordon and Cameron bond. Which is surprisingly less annoying than one would think it would be. Causing Joe and Cameron to have one of their ELECTRIC scenes together. Boz and Diane get closer. Oh, and Donna does s...
Yerba Buena (0305)
March 12, 2019 16:40 - 146 MBYerba Buena (0305) This week it's the 4th of July weekend! And no one is celebrating FREEDOM! Donna and Gordon take a staycation and get it on.

HCF 0208
January 13, 2019 19:33 - 95.8 MBLimbo This week a lot of shit goes down. Buckle up, it's a wild ride. Joe and Sarah got married. And that's all there is to say about that. Mutiny holds its first ever meet-up picnic to bring users together. It's like Community IRL. Cameron and Tom are falling out of sync, not quite on the same level as Cameron seems out of sorts when faced with Mutiny's base as mostly non-gamers. Although to be fair, Gamers were the least likely group to show at a social gathering, amirite? Gordon conti...

The sweetheart deal they got only 2 episodes ago is done, now that they aren't needed. And Jacob gives Joe something very dangerous. Leverage. Mutiny is forced to dance to Joe's tune and begin to get creative about it. Gordon, meanwhile, continues to spread the word about his brain damage to evertone except his wife. Also, he spreads other stuff. W...
HCF 0205
December 09, 2018 18:59 - 89.4 MBExtract and Defend This week Donna learns exactly who Gordon's contact is. Joe who? This again proves Gordon has no business being involved in Mutiny. The moment we've been waiting for since Comdex comes to pass as Cameron and Joe meet face to face. She learns through a third party of his engagement.

HCF 0201
November 06, 2018 14:28 - 93.9 MBSETI We pick up in 1985. Mutiny is expanding, very quickly. Too quickly for the nerds at Cameron's house to keep up. Donna andCameeron disagree on how to face these problems. Gordon and Joe are cut checks for their cut of the sale of Cardiff. Gordon doesn't know what to do next. Besides to cocaine in his desk. But Joe. Settled into domestic bliss and looking very well-adjusted, we're left wondering when and how he will be self-destructuing this season. All our heroes are teed up for an in...
HCF 0110
October 29, 2018 02:42 - 105 MB1984 This week we tie up loose ends. Donna and Gordon are in a new and more equal place. Cameron has a fresh start, and Joe goes to live in the woods. If that sounds like everyone is left in rainbows and sunshine, listen on. There's fire, graffiti, and newly formed alliances. It's a great end to an excellent season of television. We can't wait to dive into the future of next season which picks up in 1985. Watch it on Netflix, and then hear our take on it. Follow us on Twitter: @dramamama...
HCF 0109
October 23, 2018 16:21 - 119 MBUp Helly Aa ROAD TRIP, Y'ALL!!! This week we arrive to COMDEX! If you recall, Gordon was there a few years ago. He's the expert. It's off to a rocky start when our heros lose both their booth space and their room. Lucky for all, Gordon and Joe work together to con poor nerd bros out of theirs. We learn that Donna's rockin' bod wasn't the only thing that caught Hunt's eyes. Joe is faced with a moral dilemma and we get to see Camerin's marketing skills in action. All in all, it is an excel...
HCF S01E08
October 15, 2018 19:03 - 114 MBGiant This week Gordon finds his Zen. And promptly loses it. Joe and Cameron ride a feels roller coaster in a glass case of emotion. And Donna is eaten up with guilt. We're all getting ready for Comdex, and sh*t is getting real. Boz gets arrested for cyber theft. Feds sieze all the things, but luckily Gordon thinks quick and assumes (correctly) that the fuzz wouldn't be able to know what they're looking for. Which he later steals back and we leave our crew setting off on a new and uncerta...
HCF 0107
October 08, 2018 16:19 - 101 MBGiant This week it gets real. Donna gets some action, we learn more about Joe's past and get all the feels from Cameron.

HCF S01E06
September 30, 2018 20:29 - 99.1 MBLandfall This week there's a natural disaster. Also, a hurricane. Gordon announces to the office that Cameron and Joe are doing the dirty. He also wakes his wife for some nookie, and in doing so, volunteers to get a doll for his child, which he fails to do before the storm. He's, everyone say it together now, THE WORST. Cameron seeks answers from a cagey and combative Joe. Joe and Donna have dinner, and we're all shocked to find yet another cast member she has more chemistry with than her...
HCF S01E05
September 23, 2018 17:21 - 112 MBAdventure This week Gordon has a brilliant, project saving idea. And he immediately bombs it. Cameron deals with a shitty boss who likes to mansplain and be condescending. Been there, girl. She handles it. Donna has more sexual chemistry on the phone with her boss than she does with Gordon in their sex scene. And Boz is likeable. As usual. Watch it on Netflix, and then hear our take on it.

HCF S01E04
September 18, 2018 16:21 - 98.3 MBClose to the Metal This week, shit gets real. We ride the high of crossing the Doherty Threshold (because we totally know what that is), and the lows of LOSING ALL PROGRESS. Under the microscope of a visiting reporter, our ragtag team of genius misfits must scramble to get it all together. And succeed due to an unlikely hero. Also, Gordon sucks.

HCF S01E03
September 09, 2018 15:11 - 130 MBHigh Plains Hardware This week we see that the only thing Gordon is capable of killing is his wife's hopes and dreams, but not a poor, dying bird that is craving the sweet embrace of death. Cameron is stuck. Armed with her mental block, and her first paycheck, she goes looking for trouble. Just when she finds it, boom! Epiphany. Joe has to court an investor he hates, so he does what Joe does best. F*cks it up with extreme prejudice. While Boz is completely oblivious. Also, Donna's boss ...
HCF S01E02
September 02, 2018 23:41 - 82.6 MBFUD This week we watch as Cardiff Electric deals with the fallout of Joe and Gordon's ill-advised reverse engineering. And we learn one very important lesson, Don't f*ck with IBM. The team basically implodes and it's up to Joe to talk everyone off a ledge. That he pushed them onto. It's totally rad.
