Garbage Fire Podcast

Wherein your hosts talk about season 4 of the Crown, how it's all Charles' fault, how Margaret Thatcher was a slow talker, how Emma Corrin will never be able to top her role as Diana, what they're hoping for in the new Star Wars and MCU series, what holiday specials they are fond of, why they wish they'd have spent more time with family in 2019, which pandemic coping habits will stick around in the future, and whether or not Lebron James could have been the next Eric Lindros.

Wherein your hosts discuss new (overdue) Covid restrictions in Alberta and what that means for M, why S4 of The Crown has some of the best casting yet, why The Queen's Gambit is worth a look, why Dash and Lily was a great pre-Christmas watch, what kind of Christmas tree K should decorate, what good albums came out in their graduating years, how criticizing other people's grammar can backfire, and why eating with horses isn't the worst.

Wherein your hosts talk about their pandemic projects (listen carefully for a surprise!), why Kelsey needs to watch Ted Lasso ASAP, why this season of The Bachelorette is the perfect metaphor for this terrible year, what their favourite Halloween candies are, what bad books they've really enjoyed, what books they wanted to like but couldn't stand, and why everything seems to lead back to Brad Pitt.

Wherein your hosts talk about The Haunting of Hill House and why it should be a daytime viewing, why Megan's way of being gives Kelsey anxiety, why bad Wikipedia pages can be kind of fun, what they think of Taylor Hall signing in Buffalo, what the radical left is wrong about, which airlines have the best food, and why Paul Rudd could never be public enemy number 1.

Wherein your hosts talk a lot (no really, almost the whole episode) about Tenet, try to figure out what it all means, ponder the nature and dimension of time, unpack some wild fan theories, and attempt to answer some big existential questions posed by the film.

Wherein your hosts talk about why Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was (mostly)disappointing, why Season 5 of Sons of Anarchy is the best so far, how the club has changed under Jax's leadership, how Chibs must be protected at all costs, why Juice just needs a hug, why Gemma is not as important as she wants to be, why the show is not going to end well for our faves, another unresolved try at the Brad Pitt Paradox, which breakfast food is the worst, whether or not the White Stripes are good, why big dogs should only be carried in bags, and how Jamie Benn's mouth is going to let people down again.

Wherein your hosts talk (a lot) about the things they do and do not like about Sons of Anarchy (including how women are represented in the show, whether or not charisma is more important than looks and why hearts are dumb sometimes), why it's comforting to rewatch old favourites, why the X-Files is impossibly good and bad, whether or not you should read Ducks, Newburyport, why Nick Miller is the best character on New Girl, why Tom Hanks is a perfect 10, and that the only perfect version of Brad Pitt is Brad Pitt.

Wherein your hosts discuss how music has helped get them through the dark times, a board game where the good things make you feel uncomfortable, K's plan for running a motorcycle gang, how Ron Perlman is a surprising (?) ally in the fight against fascism, why double standards of "professionalism" in entertainment and media are the absolute worst, which song from TSwift's new album best matches M's personality, why Gritty is the best of us, whether or not sports will shut down again this season (MLB, WYD), why the NHLs statements don't mean anything, why Zac Efron's "dad bod" is everything, forever, and why we are one step closer to never thinking about hockey again.

Wherein your hosts talk about Megan's hero moment of 2020 and her rich friends, why summer school is a great gig (even though it's online from home), what Dan Paperclip is up to, how a Kraft Dinner diet can make the most pretentious person ever even more insufferable, how Albertans are acting like the pandemic is over, Megan's history of bad sunburns, why you should listen to the recording before you watch Hamilton on Disney+, why LMM is the weakest link, Daveed Diggs BDE (at law), how menu planning can reveal your true character and the necessity of not talking to the person with whom you're engaging in sexual congress.

Wherein your hosts talk at length about some of the good changes that might come from this pandemic (including shorter business hours and more takeout), why the TV version of Little Fires Everywhere is better than the book, why Brother is a good read, why they've struggled to get into Community, and why Christian Bale is indebted to Tom Cruise's orthodontist.
