Black Cap Recap

Sean's wife Sarah joins for a special review of Project Hail Mary. Sean and Sarah are book fans, while Aaron had not read the book prior to seeing the movie. Our summary in brief: "Amaze, amaze, amaze"!

Our thoughts on the relatively quiet Season 1 finale and the show overall.

The climax of the story and an expertly-executed flashback!

The "inciting incident" and "rising action" phase of this Hero's Journey (Hero's Tourney?) with a tantalizing cliffhanger enhanced by the return of the GoT theme music with the beautiful Dunk and Egg theme layered in.

We dive into the new HBO Game of Thrones-universe show "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms", covering the first two episodes.

Here's our immediate take on my first watch of Aaron's top movie for 2025. Taught pacing, great tension, instantly iconic villain, and a very prescient political and cultural backdrop.

Our combined best and worst movies and shows of 2025, along with surprises, let-downs, honorable mentions, and a long "still need to watch" list.

The finale episode of Pluribus season 1.

We cover a lot of ground over episodes 6, 7, and 8 heading into the finale this week!

Another nearly-solo performance from Rhea Seehorn in the first episode of the back-half of Season 1. As she learns more about the Joined, is it at the expense of her own personal growth in this situation?
