November 08, 2025 BONUS: Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"
Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus.
Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way, and super fun.
If you haven’t tried it, we definitely recommend you give it a shot! And then, of course, listen to this podcast. And if you end up getting subsumed into the collective, we’ll be covering the rest of the season on Wax Episodic, available wherever you get podcasts, or at ⁠⁠waxepisodic.com⁠⁠.
PS If you’ve been a Podcastica listener for awhile, you might be interested know that the hosts for this podcast are me (Jason) and Karen, who started this network 15 years ago with The Walking Dead ‘Cast. So much fun podcasting with Karen again!

August 16, 2025BONUS: Introducing Wax Episodic — Alien: Earth S1E1&2
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.
Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts.
PS If you love the cleverness and style of Poker Face as much as we do, Alien: Earth brings an equally sharp, stylish creative vision. But it's gross, so beware :)

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.”
