670: The Boys S2E8 review: "What I Know"
October 18, 2020 23:28 - 45 minutes - 20.9 MBHere we are at the end of the season, and on one hand it felt too short, but on the other… there’s a satisfaction that the season was trim and lean with no saggy guts. Who survived the finale and who had the highest body count? Sam and Moze look at how good art mirrors life, even if we don’t like the reflection. Let’s bring it in to the huddle for one last play on the pitch.
669: The Boys S2E7 review: "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker"
October 07, 2020 22:40 - 56 minutes - 25.8 MBThe penultimate episode is here and it’s most assuredly not for the kids. “The Boys” proves that it has the power to transcend the superhero genre. Rub-a-dub-dub, this episode could be part one of Billy Butcher’s magnum war opus masterpiece of death. Then again, our boys could be back to square one with a few heads of state missing. Join us as we sift through the leftover grey matter.

667: The Boys S2E5 review: "We Gotta Go Now"
September 24, 2020 18:05 - 55 minutes - 25.3 MBWe peel back a bit more Billy Butcher history, as well as the faces of some bad guys. Each episode seems to be building to an inevitable fight for the boys. Sam and Moze just can’t seem to find the lines of attack. Come and join the conversation.
666: The Boys S2E3-4 review
September 17, 2020 03:50 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MBWelcome to TeeVee 666, the episode number EVERYONE but Moze was too scared and superstitious to own! What beast has been unleashed for ‘The Boys’? The wrecking crew is back at full capacity! From coasting clean on yachts to breaking blowholes Homelander and Stormfront have a menace coming their way. Have no fear as Sam and Moze wipe down their blood brows to break these episodes down and prognosticate the future of this season.

It turns out it might not be all it’s cracked up to be in this future of stacks and elites. Join us on our ride down a not-so-distant series.
663: The Boys S2E1-2 review: "The Big Ride" & "Proper Preparation and Planning"
September 07, 2020 21:36 - 56 minutes - 26.5 MBWelcome to the first of many episodes dedicated to “The Boys.” Amazon was almost too gracious and dropped three for a dynamic beginning. Sam and Moze wanted to get the party started by reviewing the first, as to not be considered “Super-Terrorists.” The season 2 table stakes begin with our boys in hiding and their foul-mouthed silver tongued Billy Butcher falling from the skies high above somewhere in Indiana. Come join the party and see who lives, who dies and who gets jacked with some...
662: Perry Mason S1E8: "Chapter Eight"
August 13, 2020 21:53 - 1 hour - 34.6 MBSeason 1 of HBO’s Perry Mason has drawn to a close and we’re here to tie up all the loose threads, consider the verdict, clean up the broken relationships and answer the question, ‘Where’s Sister Alice?’ We also give our highs and lows of this freshman season and what we hope to see in Season 2!

July 31, 2020 00:58 - 54 minutes - 24.9 MBWe’re down to the final three episodes of HBO’s “Perry Mason” season one, and the trial of Emily Dodson finally begins. Speaking for the defense is one Perry Mason, who quickly finds he’s out of his league and running out of time to find out who killed Baby Charlie, while Sister Alice is hard at work trying to pull off an even bigger miracle. We see Della and Pete do what they do best and a reluctant ally comes to the fore, but it begs the question…is everyone going to see the case through to...
659: Perry Mason S1E5 review: "Chapter 5"
July 24, 2020 01:17 - 52 minutes - 24.3 MBFour episodes remain in Season 1 of HBO’s Perry Mason and it’s a moment of loss, reflection, crisis and galvanization for everyone involved. For an episode where the plot doesn’t advance more than a step, a lot happens in this fifth hour and it looks like we’re in for a heck of a showdown next week! Host Devin Higgins and returning co-host Kirk McPike are here to set the pieces on the chessboard!
658: Perry Mason S1E4 review: "Chapter 4"
July 16, 2020 19:54 - 1 hour - 29.9 MBWe’re halfway home in HBO’s Perry Mason miniseries and everything seems to be coming together and unraveling at the same time. In this episode we have snakes in boxes, corpses in sand traps, blasphemy, Chekhov’s Wingtip, and a sad end for E.B. Jonathan. Host Devin Higgins and the peripatetic raconteur himself, Dan Moren, are here to help sort it all out!

We’re back again to sift through the minutiae.
656: Perry Mason S1E2 Review: "Chapter 2"
July 02, 2020 22:47 - 48 minutes - 22.3 MBChapter Two of HBO’s Perry Mason revival sees the eight-episode miniseries shift into high gear with character development, misdirections, war scenes and Tatiana Maslany!

655: Perry Mason S1E1 Review: "Chapter 1"
June 26, 2020 20:12 - 42 minutes - 19.8 MBHBO decided to revive Perry Mason with an eight-episode miniseries, and we decided to do a dive into whether or not it was a good idea, how much different it is from the classic 50’s version our parents or grandparents knew and loved, and break down “Chapter 1.”
654: Punisher War Journal: S2E12-13
June 14, 2020 22:07 - 1 hour - 39.8 MBHere we are at the final chapter of Frank’s tale. Much has happened to the world around us as we land this series. The Punisher is as controversial as any of the Marvel properties at this point and Frank just cannot catch a break. After the Netflix season slump we were very worried if the story could stick the landing. Did it? Well, you’ll just have to join us for our final push to get out of New York. Our next endeavor is still being considered, so please feel free to tweet @moze to r...
653: Supergirl S5E19 Review: "Immortal Kombat"

May 29, 2020 19:11 - 1 hour - 33.4 MBAs we near the the final stretch, the boys wonder what might be happening to this season. Moze casts doubts, and shines a light of criticism over episode 10. These two episodes have a ton of narrative weight to move in order to wrap the season. It feels a bit like a modern day Game of Thrones, and that’s activating the Worry Meter as Frank’s world comes to a close.
651: Supergirl S5E18 Review: "The Missing Link"
May 20, 2020 03:18 - 34 minutesWe Discuss: Lena’s response to failure Lex’s EXTRA vindictiveness Nia’s dream interpretation failures M’Gann and J’onn’s great heroism Brainy’s life hitting bottom Librarian Samwise’s wisdom Kelly and William’s Flailing Alex’s future costume Jarhanpurians’ strangeness Lena and Kara’s great last scene and the power of USB flash drives Edited by David Schaub

May 08, 2020 20:52 - 56 minutes - 26.2 MBNew York City is once again transformed into a battlefield, thanks in part to The Punisher. Granted, he did have some help from Russo and Pilgrim. Russo’s promise to build an army of disillusioned veterans comes to fruition almost overnight. Pilgrim takes a more reserved approach, as usual, placing a bounty on Frank and Amy’s heads that brings every two-bit criminal down on them. Doing so forces Pilgrim to confront a life he left behind years ago—one that he tried to remove from both his bod...

639: The Punisher War Journal: S2E4-5
April 07, 2020 01:19 - 1 hourAfter a fast-paced first three episodes, the wild road of momentum begins to slow down. It is that time of the story where the time for backstory and motivations need to find a place. Some might call it the Netflix bloat.
