This finale stretch of My Lady Jane episodes—and this is the series finale, since once again we have canceled a show before its time—is sometimes more somber than the first half of the season was, and the show's untimely cancellation means there are a lot of pointless loose plot threads whipping around. We are nevertheless grateful to this bizarre show for trying something new.

In this episode of our goofy little podcast, we discuss episodes 4-5 of the goofy little show, My Lady Jane. Along the way, we discuss the perils of omnivorous eating in an Ethian society, references to classic cinema, and-- most important of all-- the role galluping does play in the Presidential Fitness Test and the role it might play in real presidential politics. Next week, we'll be discussing episodes 6-8. so gallup through the remainder of this show accordingly.

We're back!! We recorded this at some point in the past, so during this conversation, we did not yet know that our curse has once again been visited upon us! But we are ready to talk about velvet doublets. And also Anna Chancellor.

We're back! Again!

Something a little different this time: a miniseries focused on Amazon Prime's My Lady Jane, a bizarre historical-drama-meets-Animorphs show that was too strange for this post-peak-TV moment. It hadn't been canceled when we started recording these, but listeners, believe us when we say it had been canceled by the time we finished.

We also talk some about what we've been watching since last we met.

WEEK 1: Episode 1

WEEK 2: Episodes 2-3

WEEK 3: Episodes 4-5

WEEK 4: Episodes 6-8

You know how sometimes you get a text or an email, and you say you'll get around to it later, and you totally MEAN to get around to it later, and you even know that the person on the other end of the message KNOWS that you'll get to it when you get to it, but then suddenly literal MONTHS have passed and it seems like it would be weirder to reply to the message than it would be to continue letting it sit in this liminal unanswered state?

Anyway, here's our last good one/bad one of, uh, fall 2023, about The Curse and Lawmen: Bass Reeves. We recorded this months ago. I dunno man, let's all just try to keep it light.

In this week's episode, the gang is all here and we're discussing Margaret's Good One/Bad One Picks: The Buccaneers (good, theoretically) and The Irrational (bad, verily). In the episode, we mention this sweater:

And also, somehow, against all odds, Mpreg Clippy, which I have linked in case any of you are self-loathing enough to wish to pollute your brain with his visage. We will be back NEXT WEEK to discuss Kathryn's GOBO: The Curse (good) and Lawmen: Bass Reeves (bad). We hope you come back despite mpreg Clippy, but understand if that was simply a bridge too far.

Listener beware, you're in for a scare! This week we watch a horrifying scream-filled nightmare of a television episode, where characters toy with forces beyond their comprehension and exhume corpses that would best be left alone. We are, of course, referring to the Frasier reboot. We also watch the first episode of the new Goosebumps show, which is fine.

We're back again! This time with a "Fall 2023" edition of Good One Bad One, which we started recording pretty late in the season and have finally gotten around to releasing even later. (November hit hard this year, listener.)

We've got a great lineup for you this season! Presenting the Good Ones:

Apple TV+'s The Buccaneers Hulu's Goosebumps Showtime's The Curse

And, of course, our formidable Bad Ones:

Paramount+'s Frasier reboot NBC's The Irrational Paramount+'s Lawmen: Bass Reeves

In which we finish our miniseries on Citadel and attempt to wrestle with what, exactly, we have brought upon ourselves.

Is watching this show not unlike descending into pure mindless sensation? Like a sensory deprivation tank, but as a TV show? Also why on earth does the Priyanka Chopra-Jonas character make these choices?! They're such bad choices!
