G. Walter Bush stops by The Blacklist Exposed podcast to discuss his latest TV literary analysis entitled Unpacking The Blacklist: S1 Interpreted. Having previously worked on two books for the TV series Chuck, Bush jumps into the fray with Red and company to see if there are any deeper meanings that we may have missed in season one. From discussions around Ahab's quest for the mighty white whale to Proust and his concepts of voluntary and involuntary memory, Bush breaks down key moments of season one to uncover the hidden meaning that may have been in front of us the whole time.

BLE229 - Thanks Mom! - Podcast Finale

We have finally come to the end of the road for Raymond Reddington and Task Force 836! It has been a long decade of catching criminals, guessing at Raymond's Identity but in the end does any of it matter if you were just trying to live the best life you possibly could?  Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.  Case Profile for Raymond Reddington  Hour 1 of the finale sees up playing the catch me if you can cat and mouse we expected coming out of last week's episode. Red is trying to flee the city but boat, by plane, by fire truck.  Yes Red does it once again and burns down yet another house so that he can jump a fire truck and get past the blockade setup by Hudson and Nixon.  He manages to make his way to a boat which he sinks in favor of a smaller boat to get him to Weecha, who then gets him to a plane for his trip to Spain.  Along the way Red also pays a visit to Paula Glenn's mom and picks up the skull of Islero the bull from the bath house.  Dembe gets arrested for tipping off Red at the airfield and in transport Red saves the day but not before Hudson shoots Dembe in the neck and Red shoots Hudson in the head.      Don't worry Dembe is fine in hour two, however he is fired from the FBI but no charges will be pressed against him.  Red now in Spain is tailed by Ressler thanks to quick thinking on Siya's part. Thank god she spent a whole two episodes with him to notice Islero the Bull skull missing from the bath house.  Red is clearly sick after transfusing blood to Dembe and his illness has returned.  He makes a call to Agnes to check on her to which Agnes says to red, "You're are such a mom!" Re replies, "I guess I can't help it." Confirmation once again that Red is Katarina.  Red then walks the countryside as he contemplates death, Ressler gets closer, but a bull much like Islero gets even closer first and kills Red. Ressler lands in the field to find Reddington's mangled body and he places Red's hat on his chest.   Music For Raymond Reddington A laundry list of music for you this week on the series finale. First we hear "Pendulum" from Pearl Jam - toward the end of hour 1  as dembe is transported for questioning after his arrest. Then as the shootout goes down we hear "Stay Alive" by Jose Gonzalez. When Red is sleeping in Spain there is a great track that we were not able to catch. "Familiar" by Nils Frahm plays while Reddington is walking to the market for some melons. When Dembe gives his final speech about what Reddington means to him as Reddington walks the countryside we hear "Knocking on Heavens Door" by RAIGN. Later, as he series moves into the final minutes, we see Red walking by a tree and climing a stone wall to the tune of "Tree" by TMBM. And at the very end we get "A Mi Manera (My Way)" by the Gipsy Kings as the camera pans aways and we cut to black on The Blacklist.  You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.  Raymond Reddington in Pictures Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.

BLE228 - SERIES FINALE - #00 Raymond Reddington

Arthur Hudson finally has his smoking guy and taskforce 836 is about to be put to, well, task.  Hudson and team call a meeting with the Attorney General which leads to a summons for Cooper and Panabaker.  What happens next is what is a shock to many especially airplane pilots around the world!  Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.  Case Profile for Arthur Hudson  What does ice cream, a hacked meeting at the capitol, and an exploding plane have in common?  If you guessed Raymond Red Reddington you would be correct.  And that is just the tip of the iceberg this week as taskforce 836 is now under the purview of the AG and is being broken down piece by piece, agent by agent, file by file, screen by screen.  It is finally time to say goodbye to the post office once and for all.   Granted Red doesn't help matters when we goes off on the AG, and at the same time Cooper basically tells the AG flat out I did good work, I stand by it and I quit.        But it comes I am sure as no surprise to long time fans and watchers of this show that the AG doesn't give a crap about all this.  He only cares that his noes is clean. So he gives Cooper the ultimatum that we all feared.  Catch Raymond Reddington once and for all, or the whole team gets the book thrown at them.  Catching Red however will be harder than it looks as he fakes his own death in an airplane explosion, (did you really think he died?), only to be saved by Weecha and his pilot EDWARD? Yes Andrew McCarthy gets a cameo this week on the show.   Red pays one last visit to Cooper and leaves him with the parting words catch me... if you can.   Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: How do you want the series to end? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.  Music For Arthur Hudson Two songs this week on the show.  One a classic Hewy Lewis song as Edward stands waiting for Red to pick him up. The other at the end of the episode as Ressler leans over Jonathan's overdosed body.     You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.  Arthur Hudson in Pictures Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.

BLE227 - S10E20 - Arthur Hudson

There is no rest for the wicked especially when the wicked is Red. He assembles the league of wannabe FBI peeps and Ressler to inform Cooper and the team that a top secret report is about to be stolen and if successful, will put the entire world on the brink of Nuclear War.  Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.  Case Profile for Room 417  Red continues on his tour of dismantiling The Blacklist operations as he calls a group meeting at 4 in the morning to let the task force know that it is the end of the world as we know it, if what is about to go down actually goes down.  A top secret classified report about the US Nuclear Arsenal is about to be stolen and Red needs the task force to stop it.  Why?  Because if the FBI finds out who the theifs are they may just learn about room 417.  What is room 417 you may ask.  No it is not a secret torture room of some kind, however it is the outpost in the capital building for someone to spy on every room, chamber, office of the US capitol building.  All intel received is then relayed via FAX to a central location which receives similar intel from all over the world.     Meanwhile Hudson leverages Ressler's pal Jonathan once again, this time to hack into Ressler's phone.  Super easy just get Ressler to unlock it, let you make a call from it, and use it for at least 5 minutes.   Thankfully for Jonathan and Hudson, Jonathan seems to be pretty good at this spy game.   Sadly for Ressler and the task force Hudson now has what he needs to bury the Task Force for treason. In the end it is because the tap produceds a conversation between Ressler Cooper and Dembe how this central location is one of the many intel sites for The Blacklist that routes the info back to Latvia.   Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Will Jonathan confess his decit to Ressler?

BLE226 - S10E19 - Room 417

Two warring families are being targeted by an assassin that is able to use your allergies against you. As the next generation of the families work with red to get to the bottom of the attack, Red works with the task force to find out what is really going on so he can make Agnes's recital in time. Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.  Case Profile for Wormwood  No one ever gets tired of a re-telling of Romeo and Juliet, especially Red who has always thought the greatest villain or enemy is love.  Red attends a meeting of two families who have been at war for decades in order to finally broker a peace between them as a new generation looks to take over.  Suddenly the heads of the family all start dropping dead from what appears to be poison in their drinks but turns out to be a toxin delivered via the china they ate off of that targets a persons allergies and makes them super sensitive.  Wormwood is the guy behind this toxin and he supplied it to one of the daughters of Family A, who wanted to take down the patriarchy so the war could end so she could be with her lover in Family B.  Meanwhile Hudson finally brings Jonathan, Ressler's AA pal into his office to convince Jonathan to dig up intel on Ressler and the task force.  Jonathan is reluctant at first but is able to get enough information out of Ressler to confirm what Hudson has been saying, that Liz Keen and the task force have been influenced by Reddington.  That doesn't matter to Red though, nor does the toxin matter as he risks becoming infected in order to make the dance recital and see Agnes perform, yet again, swan lake.     Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Do you like Red's casual nature toward death this season? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.  Music For Wormwood Still no real music this week except for the except from swan lake during Agnes's recital.  You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.  Wormwood in Pictures Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.
