NOTHING could have prepared us for this. And we love it.

Vince Gilligan is back! Without a single rogue chemistry teacher in sight too! Needless to say, we're locked in.
Ebube hosts Cris and his favorite sci-fi consultant, Pete Peppers on a quest for answers to the only question that matters: "What the heck is going on?!"

They start by sharing their initial thoughts on the world we actually got in the show, following last week's preview, and honing in on what surprised them the most. They also praise Rhea Seehorn's incredible performance and discuss her character's role in the world, as well as who her true adversaries might be. Finally, they talk about how rewarding it is to watch a show that expects more from its audience.

Our threat levels were critical, but they've been neutralized, because we're just that good and you know it. And we're never leaving Slough House. Hey, just like River!

Chris is back this week with Bankole and Angel for the rollercoaster finale of 'Slow Horses' Season 5 on Apple TV, and together the squad tries to figure out what this new resolution might mean for the show going forward, while celebrating Diana's takeover finally landing.

After Chris gives his debrief on the London Film Festival, they start by marveling at the truth behind Lamb's story from episode 3 (11:34), before quickly addressing both the competence and significance of the dissidents' plan for retribution (16:04). They also call River out for projecting and applaud for Claude for managing to somehow fail upwards into survival, which is as hilarious as it is surprising.

Additionally, they dive into a discussion on whether the show wants us to believe River is competent (32:13) and why Claude never stood a chance against Lamb (37:12), as well as how the book handled the events of the episode — and season — a bit differently (47:18), after which they share some fun recommendations and their expectations for the already high-octane sixth season of the show (50:30).

Ebuka & Jibbz, the most electrifying duo in entertainment, are back to dissect what is universally accepted as Dwayne Johnson's acting magnum opus in Benny Safdie's "The Smashing Machine".

The whole squad is in for the showdown of a lifetime this week, as Thomas Godolkin's plan is finally revealed, so we brought back-up too — Ebube joins the Bankole, Chiagoziem and Oseghale this week to make sense of the finale of 'Gen V' season two.

They start by discussing bob-gate, as well as the fandom's mixed feelings about the end of the season and what it could mean for the future of both 'Gen V' and 'The Boys', then they get into the potential plot conveniences while praising the finale's incredible performances (Keeya, please call Oseghale). They also try to decide whether the show used Thomas Godolkin effectively enough, and if there's more to Sage's role than we all initially thought.

Plus, Polarity gets his flowers for being the actual adult in the room, and the squad shares their thoughts on the episode's fun cameos, as well as the newly revealed resistance.

Ebube subs in for Chris this week, but our squad doesn't miss a beat as they engage in one of the all-time great debriefs. Bankole, Angel and Ebube are under intense interrogation this week about the events of the penultimate episode of 'Slow Horses' Season 5. First, they respond to some recent comments from our YouTube listeners (6:24) before heading - with their eyes closed - to the Piss Underpass (19:55). They then wrap up by heading to The Park and scrutinising Claude's saviour complex and deciding just who to trust (28:30).

You know that feeling? The bittersweet one?... When your wild theory turns out to be true and you’re stoked, but also your wild theory turned out to be true so now your favorite characters are absolutely cooked? Yeah?… Well so do we.

On the penultimate episode of Gen V Season 2, Bankole, Chiagoziem and Oseghale find themselves reckoning with the fact that Marie might be not just the Avatar, but Paul Atreides. They get into the true implications of her seemingly limitless power, the extent to which Cate is — or isn't — redeemable, and how Keeya Kings’s portrayal of Annabeth is becoming an emotional cornerstone for the season. (Keeya, please call Oseghale if you're reading this).

They also make some Godolkin University-educated guesses on who’s most likely to die in next week’s season finale. Somehow, they additionally end up trying to figure out the mechanics of what is definitely the most repulsive pocket dimension put to fiction. Lock in, buddy.

The squad dives into the wild events of the mayoral rallies on this week’s ‘Slow Horses’. Before that though, they herald the upcoming arrival of the next Apple TV+ show based on books by Mick Herron — ‘Down Cemetery Road’ — set to premiere once Slow Horses concludes its current season.

Now halfway through the season, the chaos is like a train wreck — we can't stop watching. River and Coe have taken the description of "Loser-Misfit-Boozer" to entirely new heights this time, while Flyte rapidly skyrockets up our likability rankings.

Bankole, Angel and Chris also can’t help but praise Claude’s unexpected competence in wielding his influence (7:20), and we’ll just have to see how long that lasts.
