Welcome back, Helsingers! Okay, let's shout this one out loudly for those in the back to hear us well. Sam is not a good partner for hide-and-seek!

The Walking Dead 8×01 recap "Mercy" Aired Oct. 22 2017 The Walking Dead is BACK! Was The Walking Dead 8×01 better than we expected? Well...we gave it a B.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Tonight's episodes was a definite kick in the heart. Oh, the things we do in the name of love. We finally learn more about Julius backstory. Who he was before Dmitri turned him and we finally get a firm answer on his connection to the dearly departed, "Mama". Flesh has a hard decision to make and he may have overestimated his connection to Lucky. Maybe next time more people will listen when Mohamad speaks. With that said, I wonder what he'll think of Sam's new sideki...

Of course, with the house leaching, the memories of i...

September 22, 2017 01:14 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

‘Blood Drive’ recap: 1×13 "Finish Line"

September 07, 2017 02:40 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

If it feels like the end, that's because it is. As our season finale comes to a close, and with no news of renewal, it looks to be a series finale as well. But if you thought that would mean all of our questions would be answered, you're probably pretty upset right about now. That's not to say we didn't get some closure, but we also got left with a lot more questions. We definitely didn't get the happy ending we were hoping for when it came to Arthur and Grace. There was a slightly less mise...

‘Blood Drive’ recap: 1×12 "Faces of Blood Drive"

August 31, 2017 02:41 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MB

With the season and possibly series finale looming before us, will all of our burning questions be answered? Or will we all be left behind to become drones and clones for Heart Enterprises? Arthur has achieved full Primo status, but it seems that status goes hand in hand with another type of status. Being a douche. If you were worried about Chris, don't feel bad, there was a moment or two there where we were convinced Arthur had just killed his best friend as well. As for Arthur and Grace, t...

‘Blood Drive’ recap: 1×11 "Rise of the Primo"

August 24, 2017 01:21 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

The end is near! Or is it here? Technically we have a few more episodes left (thank goodness) but the race did come to an end. Kind of. We think? All talk of racing went out the window as a battle dome ending decided our racers fates. We had a shocking reappearance as we said goodbye to a few favorites. Spoiler alert! We're looking at you Domi and Cliff. I say spoiler alert, but I hope you have already watched the episode. If not, you should get out of here and come back after you watch it! O...

'Wynonna Earp' recap: Brad and Cort Talk 2x11, "Gone As a Girl Can Get"

August 19, 2017 21:48 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

Oh, Wynnona where art thou? That was the question on our lips after last week's episode left us with a disappeared Wynonna Earp and Doc stuck in that well. For the most part, this episode was all about Team BBD and what that looks like without a Wynonna Earp in their lives. What is Waverly like if she never had her big sister Wynonna, and she's been all alone after the deaths of her father and Willa? Clearly, that spark between WayHaught can't be dimmed even under the glamour hanging over Pur...

‘Blood Drive’ recap: 1×10 "Scar Tissue"

August 17, 2017 03:16 - 30 minutes - 28 MB

We get a little glimpse into the normal this week as Arthur makes his way to Cronenburgh. Well, as normal as things can get on Blood Drive! In this episode normal meant noxious, hallucination inducing gas. The type of gas that helps you look past the imperfections of all those around you. To be specific, the horror inducing disfigurement as a result of the scar. Will Arthur and Grace ever get a real taste of what normal could be? Join Brad and Sarah as we break down all the illusions on this...

‘Wynonna Earp’ recap: Brad and Cort Talk Ep 2×10, “I See Darkness”

August 12, 2017 02:43 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

We honestly couldn't think of a better title for this episode because things got dark and right off at the top of the episode. Not our WayHaught! Don't do it, writers. We can take them fighting and even other people in their lives, but don't take Nicole Haught. Thankfully, they didn't but these days you never know. The episode picked up right where we left off last week. Widow!Mercedes was drawn to Nicole's place thinking that she had the third seal. Nicole gets bit with lethal venom. Hit pl...

‘Blood Drive’ Blood Garage recap: 1×09 "The Chopsocky Special"

August 10, 2017 02:50 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

Blood Drive is offering us more questions every episode. And not as many solutions! This episode definitely made you feel like your brain was melting. Our first suggestion is that you don't think about anything too hard because you will get a headache. We think some mysteries have been revealed, but can you ever really be sure with this shows? Join Brad and Sarah as we not only break down this week's episode of Blood Drive, but discuss some theories too! Not only do we have a gravely injured...

August 09, 2017 01:22 - 46 minutes - 63.2 MB

Holy guacamole! Was that the most epic battle scene we've ever seen on Game of Thrones? Tune in as we break down the crazy work that went on behind-the-scenes to pull off Drogon's Westeros debut, as well as the other significant happenings of the episode, like Bran continuing to creep everyone out and those random cave paintings that gave us some serious Lost-vibes. Discussed in this podcast: -The theories that claim Dany will "go down a dark path", and why we don't believe them; -Arya's ba...

'Wynonna Earp' recap: Brad and Cort Talk 2x09, "Forever Mine, Nevermind"

August 05, 2017 02:56 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

Hello, Earpers! Our Black Badge crew is back this week with an all-new episode. A very, pregnant Wynonna and cross-fit badass, Waverly, show off their best moves right at the top of the episode. Doc finds a perfect (read: creepy) painting for the baby's room. Wynonna blindsides Doc with a very unexpected proposal (not that kind...unfortunately). As we learned last week, his ring is the third seal and she wants to destroy it before the widows can get to it. WayHaught are on the outs and Waverl...

'Blood Drive' Blood Garage recap 1x08 "A Fistful of Blood"

August 03, 2017 02:52 - 32 minutes - 29.5 MB

Before we get started, let's all just take a moment to appreciate Smax Candy. Without them, would any of us be here? Who's to say? All I know is that this stuff is everywhere in Blood Drive, along with Kox meat apparently. Which is clearly the main sponsor of the entire Blood Race. Or it was. But everyone tastes the same on the grill. Tune in as the Brad half of Brad and Cort allows fellow Blood Drive fan and Pure Fandom writer Sarah to join him for the breakdown of this week's episode! As i...

Talking TV With Liz and Lindi podcast recap: Game of Thrones, Season 7, Episode 3, The Queen's Justice, Aired July 30, 2017 Game of Thrones fans, we finally got the moment we've all been waiting for—the meeting of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. The two powerhouses had their first tête-à-tête ever, and they weren't exactly on the same page. With completely different objectives (and Dany not truly believing White Walkers exist), this duo will have to figure out how to work together to not on...

'Wynonna Earp' recap: Brad and Cort Talk 2x08, "No Future in the Past"

July 29, 2017 02:54 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

First, let's celebrate the amazing news that the show has been renewed for a third season. Bring on more badass Wynonna, clever Waverly, sassy Doc, way more WayHaught, and hulked-out Dolls. We're so here for it. Especially after this fantastically timey-wimey episode. Listen in as Brad and Cort breakdown the highlights from "No Future in the Past" and that awesome return for our favorite revenant, Bobo. Who knew he was such a good dude in his previous life? Also, how cool was that party that...

‘Wynonna Earp’ recap: Brad and Cort Talk Ep 2×07, “Everybody Knows”

July 22, 2017 23:14 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MB

This week Doc’s got a bounty on his head and it’s one that’s been hanging around for a good century or so. He’s all kinds of emotional about becoming a dad. Only issssss he about to be a dad?. Baby Earp may have an immortal badass for his or her Old man or….a revenant because...yeah. Wynonna got drunk and hooked up with one of those two. Waverly becomes certain that she’s not an Earp after all. The boys bond. Like really this week. As do Nicole and Wynonna. I’m on board for more of ALL that. ...

Talking TV With Liz and Lindi: 'Game of Thrones' season 7 premiere, "Dragonstone"

Talking TV With Liz and Lindi podcast recap: Game of Thrones, Season 7, Episode 1, "Dragonstone", Aired July 16, 2017 Game of Thrones is finally back, and season 7 did not disappoint. Executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff were not joking when they said the show would be getting straight to the point. There were no filler scenes of any kind. From Arya's utter destruction of the Frey family, to Daenerys' outrageously long walk to the Dragonstone castle, every scene was impactful and...

Welcome back to Purgatory, folks. Brad and Cort break down tonight's all-new episode, "Whiskey Lullaby" and give their reactions to last week's bombshell news. Wynonna Earp is knocked up, y'all!

Well, that whole Waverly gets possessed by black goo and does some pretty crazy things took a MOST unexpected turn in this week's all-new episode, "She Ain't Right".
