Remember the Tiger King? This is that but maybe a little more intentionally funny. Also, Kate McKinnon is the best. As you’ll hear in this episode, I don’t really have much more positive to say about it.

Hey, I know [gestures broadly at everything] is going kind of nutty right now, but, I heard you like a little dystopia in your dystopia. We’re checking out Severance this week and it’s a little funny and a lot depressing. If you’re at all interested in this show you should watch it first, THEN come listen to your favorite podcast get goofy talking about it.

Peacock keeps rolling out those 90s sitcom reboot/reimaginings and we keep lining up to talk about them in our podcast. Wonder if they can keep up their near flawless record? Only one way to find out (without actually watching the show yourself), take a listen!

We’re talking about the comedy? drama? dramedy? some other useless genre name? Netflix show The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window next to the Frog on the Log in the Bog next to Wade Boggs…

Starring: A bunch of nerds playing D&D

Buckle up and get ready for some nerd-talk. We’re watching the Twitch streaming show turned animated adventure: The Legend of Vox Machina. And, as if we needed an excuse, it leads to lots of D&D talk.

Roll for podcasting.

If you listen to podcasts so that you can hear two people re-tell a story as it was told to two different people and re-enacted by several other people, then this episode is for you.

And just like that, the podcast as we knew it, was over. When all was said and done, we were not the same people that we were when we started it and we all knew that this would be a watershed moment. A moment when all dozen of listeners of this podcast would think: “Did they really need to watch THAT show?” and the answer would be a resounding and mournful, “No.”

Another comic book show about a superhero/villain/assassin, you ask? Of course, but this time it’s based off of a character that should almost certainly be dead. What’s that? Hit Monkey also probably should’ve been dead given everything that happened to his tribe?

Just give it a rest and have some fun.

Wonder what it would be like if a hitman killed a Japanese politician, got caught, then was nursed back to health by a pack of snow monkeys in the mountains only to be found by the government, killed, and then end up as a ghost in a monkey’s head to help fulfill your need for revenge? Me neither, but Hulu has done us all the favor of making this fever dream into an animated show on Hulu: Hit Monkey. Come check it out!

This show is doo-doo. This podcast episode is a tad rambling as a result. We’re talking about Freak Brothers, but we’re also talking about Hawkeye [HEAVY SPOILER ALERT] and some other shows we’re watching that are way more deserving of our time and yours.
