Millennium 215-216: Owls, Roosters
April 18, 2024 03:10 - 57 minutes - 79.3 MBWe finally get to find out what the Millennium Group is all about and blow up the Fourth Reich. What an two-parter!

April 11, 2024 03:10 - 1 hour - 108 MBHere's Dan's "The Tragedian": https://youtu.be/6b97Nf60EAg?si=HS4ro0C1YwCUe3lK. We had a lot of fun making this - just saying!
Millennium 211-212: Goodbye Charlie, Luminary
April 04, 2024 03:10 - 1 hour - 110 MBGood-bye Charlie was so heart-warming, although it took multiple viewings to get there. Luminary was a bad title but the episode had its moments.
Sunday Bonus Episode: The Flash and Temple of Doom

Sunday Bonus Episode: Hollywood Shuffle and American Fiction
March 17, 2024 03:10 - 1 hour - 34.3 MBJust a fun discussion about two interrelated films about 40 years apart. The one is clear-eyed about what it wants to say; the other has a failure of nerve at the very last 5-10 minutes (but perfect and delightful otherwise)! Go listen to Mississippi John Hurt signing Staggerlee/Stag O' Lee to see the other thing that gave American Fiction only a 4 out of 5.
Millennium 205-206: A Single Blade of Grass, The Curse of Frank Black
March 14, 2024 03:10 - 1 hour - 66 MBBuffalo roaming New York City and a rambling ghost story. Great viewing!

Millennium 118-119: Lamentation, Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions

January 30, 2024 14:45 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBWe loved it! An great adaptation of Bad Luck and Trouble.
Millennium115-117: Sacrament, Covenant, and Walkabout
January 25, 2024 04:10 - 1 hour - 123 MBThree fairly conventional storylines with that Millennium twist! The lighting in and around the perfect yellow is getting darker though.
Millennium 113-114: Force Majeur, Thin White Line
January 18, 2024 04:10 - 1 hour - 106 MBForce Majeur is so convoluted, Dan watched it twice. The last minute of Thin White Line had Dr. Redmond almost in tears.

Millennium 105-106: 522666, Kingdom Come
December 21, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 118 MBGet prepared for another of our lengthy discussions on religion. Did you know that elephants have funeral rites and chimpanzees go to war?
Cop Rock: Marital Blitz, No Noose is Good Noose, Bang the Potts Slowly
December 19, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 144 MBIt really was a special show that gave us characters and plot lines that we would have continued to watch. And we only really complained about one song!
Millennium: Dead Letters, The Judge
December 14, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 92.9 MBThis show just got really dark, as Frank gets a job offer.

Millennium - The Pilot, Gehenna
December 07, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 126 MBWelcome to Chris Carter's nightmare! Lance Hendrickson is the perfect psychic profiler. Stressful, stressful, stressful.

Cop Rock: Pilot, Ill-Gotten Gaines
November 30, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 118 MBGreat first two episodes, only had one complaint about the music. However, we are still wondering whether this was a good way for Bochco to go.
Touching Evil (US): Mercy, Show in Review
November 23, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 103 MBAs we suspected, the final episode brought this show to a very satisfying end. BUT we still wanted it to go on. We spend most of the episode comparing it to Monk and then to other short-lived shows.
Touching Evil (US) - K, Love Lies Bleeding
November 16, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 86.4 MBHow Dr. Redmond forgot to put this into the key, we will never know! This should have been our third podcast of Touching Evil (US). At least it is up before the finale!! Enjoy
Touching Evil (US): Entropy, Grief
November 09, 2023 04:10 - 1 hour - 91.2 MBAnother couple of great episodes that fixed so many of the problems of the original. My apologies for ad placement - we are a little surprised after years with none. I am not sure how we will deal with this since our episodes go up essentially unedited. We ramble on until we're done, and that means that we will have to decide where to place ads episode by episode. More work for Dr. Redmond who is swamped right now.
Touching Evil (US): Attachment, Boston
November 02, 2023 18:16 - 1 hour - 44.9 MBNot only did they fix the remake, but their own brand new episode was absolutely great!

October 26, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 88.2 MBBrilliant remakes. It was like they had listened to this podcast in the future. Glad someone else did the rewriting this time !
Touching Evil (US): Y Me, Justine
October 19, 2023 03:10 - 55 minutes - 75.8 MBThey're hitting it out of the ballpark once again. A small quibble is all we could come up with.
Touching Evil (US): Pilot
October 12, 2023 03:10 - 56 minutes - 78.2 MBWe were so surprised. This was a great remake - so much better than the original.
Touching Evil: Season 3
October 05, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBWell, we're done with this one! Let's hope that the American one salvage something from these stories! But we do remember American Cracker :-(
Touching Evil 203: What Price a Child?
September 28, 2023 03:10 - 58 minutes - 79.9 MBBleakness, bleakness, then doubling down on bleakness. And we still don't know who these people are :-(
Touching Evil 202: War Relief
September 21, 2023 03:10 - 54 minutes - 74.6 MBWe have now finally got to the point of open hostility towards this show. Two more to go SIGH!!!!
Touching Evil 201: Scalping

Touching Evil 103: Deadly Web
September 07, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 108 MBUnrelenting in its bleakness. Once again an interesting story but we are still trying to become engaged. We start to understand Dave - maybe?
Touching Evil 102: Killing With Kindness
August 31, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 99.7 MBAgain a great story - with a number of very tense moments. We are still trying to figure out what is missing to make this a great show.
Touching Evil 101: Through the Clouds
August 24, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 90.6 MBFascinating storyline. Extremely competent detectives. But we can't stop seeing Tony Hill (Wire in the Blood) and Ruth (Spooks).
PCM Bonus: Spotlight

PCM Bonus: Doubt
August 10, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 115 MBThe people Sheila is discussing were using Shanley's play, "Doubt: A Parable". See the movie or read the play for yourself: http://www.cressonlake.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Doubt-Shanley.pdf.
PCM Bonus: Priest (1994)
August 08, 2023 03:10 - 1 hour - 100 MBOne of Jimmy McGovern's best. A searing and controversial look at the problems of the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church. Stay tuned on Thursday for the follow-up that is "Doubt".

Cracker: Mind over Murder - Hell Hath No Fury, Tis A Pity She’s a Whore
June 29, 2023 03:10 - 54 minutes - 74.4 MBOne change and Hell Hath No Fury would have been exemplary. They tried to squash a 3 hour story into 46 minutes in the next. Still asking: where's the dog!
