Watchover Ep 81 - Arrow 1b is a Slog
August 21, 2020 22:47 - 1 hour - 79.3 MBJen is still rewatching season one with her daughter and folks... it’s rough. She offers up some thought on it, Calli chimes in and, spoiler alert, Laurel is still very much an issue! Also: Watch Selling Sunset on Netflix! It’s a HOOT.
Watchover Ep 80 - Arrow Rewatch 1x01-1x03
August 10, 2020 19:42 - 1 hour - 94.4 MBJen is rewatching all of Arrow, starting with season 1. So we’re going through the experience and discussing our take aways from those early episodes. Warning: it’s mostly “what the heck were they thinking with Laurel??”
Watchover Ep 79 - Listen to Folklore
July 24, 2020 19:04 - 1 hour - 93.3 MBHi everyone! Yes, we do talk about a lot more than Taylor Swift’s new album (but seriously, you need to go listen to it). Jen rants about Blindspot and we discuss tv show tropes that we really loathe. Also, we laugh a lot. The world needs laughter right now (and Taylor Swift).
Watchover Ep 78 - we’re surviving
July 13, 2020 19:26 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBIt’s been a hot minute since our last podcast but we swear we have good reasons for that! We have returned, talking about current events (fandom and otherwise) as well as answering some questions from you guys!
Watchover Ep 77 - Interlude
May 27, 2020 00:02 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBWe come together today to gripe about some things and celebrate others. We vent about salty DCTV fandoms (you know who you are) and the modern ratings system and what about Batwoman? All very curious. It’s a shorter episode but we enjoy ourselves as we always do. Join us!
Watchover Ep 76 - Questions from You
May 18, 2020 00:24 - 1 hour - 80.9 MBWe’re back with a total Q&A style podcast, featuring a few voice messages! As per usual we do ramble quite a bit but we feel sure that you will all enjoy what we have to ramble about (yes, Jen does go off on a Barry rant!).

April 22, 2020 19:14 - 1 hour - 87.9 MBWe’re joined by our good friend Maddie today as we discuss our most favorite Arrow moments off all time... and the worst.

Watchover Ep 74 - New Things Are Afoot
April 15, 2020 19:23 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBWe return with a new podcast host and a few new bells and whistles! What better time to try it out and answer some listener questions as well as discuss what we’re watching and why is Steve so drunk all the time??
Watchover Ep 73 - The Lost Episode
April 08, 2020 01:55 - 1 hour - 109 MBJen finally finished watching Lost this week so we are getting together to discuss it. We also do a little ranting too, so you won't want to miss that. Stay safe! Stay home!
Watchover Ep 72 - Lessons of the Tiger King
March 27, 2020 23:52 - 1 hour - 66.8 MBWe're still isolated but that's not stopping us from binging anything and everything Netflix has to offer. Namely? Tiger King. We talk at length at this absolute dumpster fire of a documentary series (that you should go watch as soon as possible). We also dish a little on our favorite Olicity scenes. Join us! We're lonely!
Watchover Ep 71 - Quarantine Hijinks
March 19, 2020 00:11 - 1 hour - 107 MBIf you'll pardon our virtual dust (we have several technical issues today!), we have a podcast for you to enjoy while you're doing your self-isolation like the good citizens you are! We talk about ALL the things. Olicity, Arrow, movies, tv shows, our spouses, the pandemic... Listen along if you're feeling lonely!
Watchover Ep 70 - Various and Sundry
March 06, 2020 22:24 - 1 hour - 99.1 MBWe return to dish on so many things... the recent convention in Chicago and what our lovely leads had to say about our beautiful ship, the Netflix sensation "Love is Blind", Brandon Routh being a puppy and so much more. We crack ourselves up, as per usual, and hope we can crack you up too!
Watchover Ep 69 - After the End
February 25, 2020 22:56 - 1 hour - 72 MBWe return from a small break to discuss a few Arrow-related things as well as dish on what we're watching now and have a little belated Oscars discussion as well. We're all over the place, guys! But we promise, it's all in good fun. 😉
Watchover Ep 68 - The End of the Road
January 29, 2020 05:42 - 1 hour - 95.8 MBThe #Arrow finale aired tonight and because our listeners hate, they voted to have us record tonight. Apologies in advance that we aren't at our best and most pithy, but surely there will be more to say in the coming days. But for now, come listen to our breakdown in real time.
Watchover Ep 67 - Before the End
January 27, 2020 20:55 - 1 hour - 108 MBWe weigh in one last time before #Arrow is over and through with our thoughts going into the finale. We discuss that there are spoilers but there are NO spoilers revealed during this episode so no worries there! We do discuss what we'd like to see and warning you all now: it gets a little petty.
Watchover Ep 66 - In Thru the Backdoor
January 22, 2020 04:18 - 1 hour - 89.2 MBTonight was the big backdoor pilot for #Arrow's spinoff, Green Arrow and the Canaries. We discuss the episode and what worked versus what didn't work so well. Also: Stephen's newest podcast is discussed We're so close to the end, folks!
Watchover Ep 65 - Crossover Blues
January 15, 2020 21:01 - 1 hour - 101 MBSo, *that* happened. We know it's hard to see it (and even harder to understand what the frick is going on half the time) but we did expect this, right? This is what we think it all means, why it's okay and how our ship will still get a happy ending*. (*happiness is in the eye of the beholder, obvs)
Watchover Ep 64 - Star Wars, Royals and Baby Yoda
January 10, 2020 01:45 - 2 hours - 111 MBIs #Arrow back yet? No? Okay, then we're gonna talk about Star Wars some more. We're joined by Jenn from Just About Write for a lively discussion of what makes the Mandalorian so good, what is so disappointing about Rise of Skywalker and what is UP with the British Monarchy??
Watchover Ep 63 - Full of Cheese and Sass
December 30, 2019 02:51 - 1 hour - 91.5 MBIt's post-Christmas and no one knows what day it is but here we are with a podcast. We discuss Rise of Skywalker (spoiler warning!) and also a little Arrow fandom nonsense. It's mostly just us being us for a good hour and a half. Happy Holidays!
Watchover Ep 62 - Fandom is Family
December 16, 2019 03:08 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBWe're all here together, shipping this beautiful couple on this amazing (and frustrating) show. We are family, in a way. And sometimes family disagrees. But we can still try some kindness and respect, right? We discuss some fandom drama and our thoughts on it.
Watchover Ep 61 - Crisis Hours 2&3
December 11, 2019 20:01 - 1 hour - 91.8 MBWe're a little underwhelmed with #CrisisonInfiniteEarths, if we're being honest. Which makes sense when you understand that first and foremost we are #Arrow🏹 and Oliver Queen fans! All others need not apply! We break it down and yeah, we rant a bit. It's our way.
Watchover Ep 60 - Crisis Hour 1
December 09, 2019 23:52 - 1 hour - 92.4 MBSo... that happened. It was a tad bit earlier than we expected but remember... we did expect this! And now we're starting to get ideas of how this might be fixed. We discuss that and work through our feels. It'll be okay, fam, we're in this together!
Watchover Ep 59 - All We Do Is Win
December 08, 2019 05:34 - 1 hour - 86 MBThe Olicity fandom is eating well these days and we're here to discuss it all (and maybe diffuse some of the pre-Crisis tension out there!). The show may be ending, but we have plenty to rejoice about... at least until next week. We also ask a bunch of listener questions and do a little ranting. #onbrand
Watchover Ep 58 - 8x07 Discussion
December 04, 2019 22:31 - 1 hour - 110 MBAnother emotional week on #Arrow as Oliver helps his friends and family come to terms with his impending death and we get all up in our feels about the whole thing. Again. This will probably be the norm from here. Crisis, here we come!
Watchover Ep 57 - Arrow 8x06 Discussion
November 27, 2019 22:41 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBWe don't have the greatest of news for Arrow fans this week but then... if you've been listening to us, its no different than we've been saying for the last year. Still, we walk through the why's of what's going to happen to Oliver Queen in this year's crossover. And why its not the end of the world (or him!).
Watchover Ep 56 - Arrow 8x05 Discussion
November 20, 2019 21:25 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBWe are back after the week's hiatus to talk about the latest Arrow ep and what worked (family dynamics!) and what didn't (Laurel!) and how there's a glimmer of hope for a brighter future for our favorite heroes. You must tune in to hear this one.
Watchover Ep 55 - Arrow 8x04 Discussion
November 06, 2019 23:49 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBWhat an emotional episode Arrow gave us with 8x04 and we are here to break it down and discuss our most favorite bits (and there's a little ranting because, come on, it's US) and mostly, we thought it was a great episode (though it might have been better had they included more Felicity into it, just sayin').
Watchover Ep 54 - Emily is Back!
November 02, 2019 00:02 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBToday was a GREAT news day in the Arrow fandom and we're here to document and revel in it. We discuss the return of the infamous Emily Bett Rickards and also answer some questions from listeners and basically just have a lot of fun being happy about Arrow again!
Watchover Ep 54 - Emily is Back!

We discuss the return of the infamous Emily Bett Rickards and also answer some questions from listeners and basically just have a lot of fun being happy about Arrow again!
Watchover Ep 53 - Arrow 8x03 Discussion
October 30, 2019 23:41 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBWe are joined again by Maddie as we return after losing last week's podcast to technical difficulties. It's a short episode but we have some great developments to discuss. Basically? Season 8 is fanfiction, friends. We're living the dream!
Watchover Ep 52 - Arrow 8x01 Discussion
October 17, 2019 01:51 - 1 hour - 83.9 MBThe last season of Arrow is here and we (along with our good friend Maddie) discuss what happened and what we think about what's happening. All in all, those who watched it think it was a solid episode but Calli is still holding firm on her decision not to watch. 😉
Watchover Ep 51 - We hate Barry Allen
October 11, 2019 23:51 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBThe title says it all. As passionate Arrow fans, nothing annoys us more than the red condom wearing jerk who gets away with everything while being the cause of some pretty gnarly events on our own show. This episode is cathartic, where we shout out our frustrations into the void... if you are a fan of Barry Allen, maybe skip this one? If you feel like we do, by all means, listen on!
Watchover Ep 50 - Songs for our OTP
September 25, 2019 01:49 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBWe're back! And we swear our return has nothing to do with the unprecedented amount of Arrow news that hit the internet, TOTAL coincidence. But we discuss the latest news before diving into a SUPER fun topic: our favorite songs for #Olicity!
Watchover Ep 49 - Looking Ahead at Season 8
September 13, 2019 19:56 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBIt's been a hot minute, but we're back! We're talking about some of the buzz about season 8 so far and our thoughts on what has been said and what we think will happen and why the ending we see coming makes perfect sense for Arrow.
Watchover Ep 48 - SDCC Wrap Up
July 23, 2019 00:52 - 1 hour - 97.6 MBAnother year, another SDCC in the can. Despite not attending themselves, Jen and Calli still have some opinions on the goings on, particularly as pertains to Arrow, Olicity and the flashforward crew. What can we expect from season 8? And also, what the HECK did they do to Veronica Mars? Again, the girls have some opinions on how some showrunners view shipping. It's a lively episode!
Watchover Ep 47 - All the Things
July 18, 2019 03:29 - 1 hour - 92.2 MBThe ladies (plus Maddie!) are back after a longer-than-anticipated break and they have a lot to talk about! Arrow news, Bachelorette drama and how Stranger Things season 3 was the best season yet.
Watchover Ep 46 - Remember Us?
June 09, 2019 04:28 - 1 hour - 76.6 MBAfter several weeks and quite a few technical malfunctions, the ladies (plus Maddie!) return with a new podcast! And though this particular episode had to be cut a little short (MORE technical problems, ugh!), we had a great time talking about Arrowverse cast shenanigans, more Lauriver shade, some tv show recommendations and MORE. So give us a listen and join in the fun.
Watchover Ep 46 - Remember Us?

And though this particular episode had to be cut a little short (MORE technical problems, ugh!), we had a great time talking about Arrowverse cast shenanigans, more Lauriver shade, some tv show recommendations and MORE. So give us a listen and join in the fun.
Watchover Ep 45 - The End of the Throne
May 20, 2019 05:51 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBAnd so endeth our watch... Game of Thrones aired their series finale tonight and we had some thoughts about the events therein. We also rant and rave about a few other things because if there's one thing we're allergic to it's staying on topic. But mostly, we're #TeamDrogon.
Watchover Ep 44 - Arrow 7x22 Discussion
May 14, 2019 04:46 - 2 hours - 114 MBArrow ended their seventh season with what could very well have been a series finale. We discuss the end and how satisfying we found it (and why we found it satisfying!) and we also rant a bit about Game of Thrones which is considerably LESS satisfying right now. And Calli makes Jen cry a couple times.
Watchover Ep 43 - The Endgame Question
May 11, 2019 03:00 - 2 hours - 117 MBTonight we're talking endgame. No, not the super-successful Avengers movie... we think that podcast is lost forever. This time we're talking SHIPPING endgame. When the plan A couple is endgame vs when the plan changes vs when the plan SHOULD have changed. There's a lot of permutations here, folks. And lots of ship talk.
Watchover Ep 42 - Arrow 7x21 Discussion
May 07, 2019 17:49 - 1 hour - 110 MBIn the penultimate episode of season 7, Oliver must confront his moral code one last time. And it's a doozy. Plus, TOMMY! Also, we discuss Game of Thrones and our bottom line is basically, DRACARYS, DANY! Then we go back to Arrow cuz that's what we do.
Watchover Ep 41 - Arrow 7x20 Discussion
May 01, 2019 20:12 - 1 hour - 83.6 MBArrow appears to be limping into the homestretch with this little more than mediocre offering. Sure, it accomplishes some much needed plot developments, but at what cost? (Dinah Drakes ever-eroding character, apparently.) We talk our way through the episode and ultimately mourn only two more episodes with Felicity Smoak.
Watchover Ep 40 - Arrow 7x19 Discussion
April 23, 2019 18:05 - 1 hour - 94.4 MBJohn Diggle finally gets a decent episode focused on his character, full of all sorts of juicy backstory information. Don't get us wrong, we love it, but we feel we should have gotten this, oh, FIVE YEARS AGO. Also: #SmoaknHawke is literal fire, Felicity isn't dying and Barry Allen remains the worst.
Watchover Ep 39 - Arrow 7x18 Discussion
April 16, 2019 04:39 - 1 hour - 92.5 MBIt's Canaries everywhere in this episode and... we liked it? Like... a lot? What is happening?? Seriously though, Arrow delivered a solid episode filled with girl power, women supporting women (and calling them out when the need arose) and some of the best Olicity domesticity we've seen since season 6. Join us for our rambling about redemption, stay for our gushing over NBC's Good Girls!
Watchover Ep 38 - Acceptance
April 04, 2019 04:08 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBIt's hard to accept something when it's such a shock, so terrible to consider. But we have done just that with Emily leaving the show and what that means for Olicity and Felicity and Arrow in general going forward. So where are our heads at? Join us and listen to us work through the particulars. There's a light at the end of this very long (20 year) tunnel, we're sure of it.
Watchover Ep 37 - It's the End of the World as We Know It
March 31, 2019 16:23 - 2 hours - 118 MBSo the worst possible thing has happened... we are losing Emily and Felicity before the end of the show. It's just ten episodes but it may as well be 100 for the hole in our hearts. Join us as we try to process ourselves through the stages of grieving and search for that elusive silver lining.
Watchover Ep 36 - Tommy Hijinks and More
March 29, 2019 06:09 - 2 hours - 110 MBWe have a lot to talk about tonight, starting with Jane the Virgin (a show, admittedly, neither of us really watch) and finishing with the episode description for 7x18 with a nice healthy middle of TOMMY MERLYN. Yes, we make it work, just like we always do. Aren't you a little curious?
Watchover Ep 35 - Arrow 7x17 Discussion
March 26, 2019 03:53 - 1 hour - 95.1 MBOkay, so it wasn't the most incredible of episodes. We've had so many of those lately that we've gotten used to them. But 7x17 had some useful exposition and we got a Big Bad reveal that genuinely surprised and pleased us. But we do miss those flash forwards. Because we love our OTA v.2.0. It reminds us of the Sweet Valley Saga. Just... listen. And you'll see.
Watchover Ep 34 - Arrow 7x16 Discussion
March 20, 2019 22:28 - 2 hours - 145 MBBetter late than never! We talk about the all-flashforward episode, "Star City: 2040". It was... AMAZING. We officially love and protect Mia Smoak, Connor Hawke and William Clayton-Harris-Queen-Smoak. They are our children and we want to see a lot more of them in the future!
