Housebound

S1ep22 "Honeymoon" And we did it, y'all! We finished season one. This episode begins with about 10 minutes of discussing current political tragedies (school shootings, pro-lifers, and anti-trans bills) so feel free to skip that if you'd rather not hear more about it. The following 4 minutes are about being gay in Westeros in case you want to skip that too.

But otherwise we stay mostly on track, other than a quick Morbius break in the middle, naturally. Thanks for all the laughs!

S1ep21 "Three Stories" Hospice is the third studio album by American indie rock band The Antlers, and their first concept album. It was initially self-distributed by the band in March 2009. Hospice tells the story of a relationship between a hospice worker and a female patient suffering from terminal bone cancer, their ensuing romance, and their slow downward spiral.

Y'all already know what it is. Digressions: unironically cool Ben Garrison, Athena problematic, the Clodia/Lesbia debate, and COVID grifting.

S1ep20 "Love Hurts" Woof. This is a double feature for House and Bones, and we're sorry you have to listen to that, but not as sorry as we are that we had to watch it. Digressions: MILF Guy #2, abolish football, I will kill the rat of Scranton, ancient medical schools, Edward Said rolling in his grave like a Costco hotdog, and Coriolanus Gunch insta-kill.

S1ep19 "Kids" This episode is boring enough that we started talking about Bones first. It's also uncomfortable in a not-very-funny way. But hey, could be worse, right? It could be the next episode. To clarify on something we forgot while recording: the member of Fall Out Boy that was in House s8 is not the same member we called gross.

Digressions: POV: you're the band MGMT, not now honey Mommy's recording, the two parts of a hospital, Homestuck lore/Undertale imagines, and Saturn devouring his Stuart Little.

S1ep18 "Babies & Bathwater" Our final Vogler episode, the plotline ends not with a bang but with a liberal copout. We'll find something else to be mad about, don't worry. Digressions: men who suck class solidarity, British cuisine, Q grifting, thank you eating him, magic Rasputin penis trick, and buying our silence.

S1ep17 "Role Model" We liked it! And it's the last time we're gonna like it for a while! This one is actually very on-point politically without us reaching very much, which is somewhat of a rarity. Digressions: Zendaya is Chani, goatposting in the Discord, forming a podcaster union, god is a spider in your bathroom, there's a fungus amogus, and yeah! Atreides!!

S1ep16 "Heavy" We did not like to see this one! A classic "let's get briefly mad tonight" episode, as we remember why we started this podcast hating Chase.

Digressions: "I make a House MD podcast please keep reading," Superwholock, classic humor of peepee, the comedic potential of jorts, and phrenology on a grape.

S1ep15 "Mob Rules" CAUTION: this episode may not be suitable for Italians. We mostly stayed on track, since "staying on track" meant multi-track drifting between the evils of billionaires in medicine, and jokes about Italians. Digressions: prison abolition except when Lisa Cuddy sends you there, the etymology of Lucario, men are banned from writing anime, poor little meow meows, and a sex gifs compilation.

S1ep14 "Control" Content warning: this episode of House revolves around a patient with bulimia and we discuss both that and our own history with eating disorders. Please keep that in mind if you listen. It's basically self-contained between 1:13:08 and 1:27:15.

This one made us mad but in a good way, and we mostly stay on point (the point being that we hate billionaires and the commodification of healthcare).

S1ep13 "Cursed" We like it! Silly main story but finally some good character work for Chase that will be utterly abandoned until next season. Digressions: prison abolition except for Bryan Cogman, jellyfish brain, Sims adventures, the location of New England, the Captain Ahab of Dune, fucking the hexameter man for hexameters, and the inherent communism of furry artists.
