Bonus Episode: Introducing Wax Episodic

Hi, Jason here. This is a special bonus episode reposted from my new podcast, Wax Episodic, where I cover top-tier, story-rich TV shows one season at a time with different co-hosts.

We’re kicking things off with Alien: Earth, and I wanted to share the first episode here so you can check it out. If you like it, please consider subscribing to Wax Episodic — it’s my new podcast home, and you can find it at waxepisodic.com. 

PS I know you guys are into 80s nostalgia like us, and so Alien: Earth might be right up your alley — it taps into that gritty, suspenseful sci-fi vibe of classics like Aliens and The Thing, but with a fresh, modern edge.

Alien: Earth S1E1&2: “Neverland” & “Mr. October”

The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.”

We couldn’t end this podcast without talking about the first new Karate Kid movie in 15 years! We just wouldn’t do that to you. So here it is, along with our final goodbye…

…you know, unless the show runners come back at us with a kick-ass series that we want to cover.

Until then, you can hear Rima over on Strange Indeed, and Jason on just about everything else at podcastica.com. And I’m sure we’ll rope Richard into doing something else at some point too.

Thanks again for following along with us, everybody. This was a special one. Take care of yourselves, and remember, it doesn’t matter if you’re a loser, or a nerd, or a freak. All that matters is that you become badass. :P

Well well, here we are at last, at the conclusion of Johnny, Daniel, and the karate kids’ stories, and it’s hard to imagine how it could all be any more glorious :) You guys know Rima, Richard, and I had a blast podcasting about this show. It started off surprisingly good and by the end it was surprisingly even better. And thanks so much from all of us to all of you who listened along with us. You guys are the best around! 

Next up: We’ll be back sometime before Karate Kid: Legends drops to cover the 2010 Karate Kid reboot that shares a lead character, Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan. Until then, stay badass!

Every episode is kicking a little more ass than the last one as we head down the home stretch here. A lot of nostalgia in this one, and we particularly love how the focus is returning to Johnny as his story comes full circle.
