Damn Fine TV

This week on the show...we wrap up our coverage of Ratched season one with a discussion of episodes 5 through 8, and we check in on episode 7 of Lovecraft Country. Plus, we share our plans for October - we'll be watching and covering a few spooky shows just in time for Spooky Season!

For the first time ever - except when we learned that Mells likes the Star Wars prequels (pray for her) - the Damn Fine Duo don't agree on something! We know, we were just as shocked as you! One of us was "meh" on Ratched and one of us was a little underwhelmed with Lovecraft - listen in to find out who!

10:15 - October Coverage

13:55 - Ratched, episodes 5-8

47:35 - Lovecraft Country, episode 7

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast...we reflect on how the twisted reveals in Netflix's Dark may cause migraines, and how Monday night drinks can make the week feel a little topsy turvy. We also get into some TV news, discussing premiere dates and cancellations.

We chat about the underrated anthology series Room 104, with a focus on the episode "Jimmy and Gianni" that really threw Jasmin for a loop. And, of course, we spend plenty of time breaking down episode 3 of Lovecraft Country.

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast...Mells gives us an update on the west coast fires, and Jasmin goes on a rant about the lack of walking etiquette white men seem to have during this PANDEMIC (use of caps will make way more sense when you listen to the show.)

Then we get into some TV news about a couple of upcoming shows - The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Stand - and we take a little trip to the Bread Barbershop.

Mells is FINALLY watching Dark - we get into seasons one and two. Jasmin has FINALLY seen episode 2 of Watchmen - she shares her overall thoughts and gushes over Regina King. And, finally, we get into a discussion about the second episode of Lovecraft Country. Spoiler: it didn't blow us straight out of the way, but it still blew us to, like, the side.

This week on the show, we talk about the fires on the west coast (hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!), vacation hangovers, and the cancellation of a Netflix show we're pretty bummed about.

Then we discuss a couple of shows we've been watching recently - Selling Sunset and I May Destroy You - before getting into the main event: Lovecraft Country. We are both super pumped about the premiere of this show and cannot wait to see where the season takes us.

Yes, we realize episode 2 has already aired at this point, but due to our recording schedule, we'll always be a week behind. Oh well, just pretend you get to time travel to the past each week when listening to the show!

9:00 - Selling Sunset

16:05 - I May Destroy You

23:25 - Lovecraft Country

OMG we're back again! Welcome to Season Four of the Damn Fine TV Podcast!

We also chat about a movie so good (in our humble opinions) it was worth breaking our TV only format: Doctor Sleep. Finally, we dish on some shows we're looking forward to and will be covering in the coming weeks.

25:10 - Umbrella Academy

55:50 - Doctor Sleep

Listen in to see what the Damn Fine TV podcast is all about!

This week on Twin Peaks Tuesdays, Mells and I bid farewell (for now) to our beloved Twin Peaks. We do our best to summarize our journey through watching and reviewing the show, while freely admitting that it truly is something you just have to experience, and words often fail to do it justice.

Still, we give it our all in the theories section, and then essentially throw all those theories out the window, by making the argument that plot just isn't as important as vibe and atmosphere in Twin Peaks. Almost any theory about what this show "means" is correct and that's the way we like it!

We also discuss our thoughts on what a possible season four of Twin Peaks could look like. Finally, we explore some ideas on how to keep Twin Peaks a part of the DFTV pod moving forward, like with themed episodes centering on topics like: dreams, Tarot, coolness (re: James Hurley), nostalgia, color palette and more!

Apologies for the scratchiness on Jasmin's mic; not sure what happened and hope it's not too annoying! Don't forget, we'll be on break for the next two weeks, and will return with our Weekly Watch pod on August 19. See you then!

This week on Twin Peaks Tuesdays, we've reached the curtain call. These final two episodes pack a real (Freddy Sykes) punch. Foes are vanquished, destiny's are fulfilled, history is changed, feelings are FELT, and there are SO many road trips - perhaps some that cross the pathways of space and time. What a journey it has been!

So, go grab a damn fine coffee and meet us in the red room! But, not for the last time! We'll be back on July 28 (no new episode next week) for a full wrap up 'cast. Though I'm sure we'll probably spend a lot of time talking about The Return, we will, to some extent, be chatting about the series as a whole - films included.

It would be yrev, very nice to hear your thoughts and theories on Twin Peaks - we'll even share them on the show! Get in touch: send us a DM on Instagram or Twitter, or drop us a line: [email protected]
