It’s spooky season, so Kerri made Evelyn and Rachael watch season 1 of the greatest show currently on television, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. This one is a hit across the board with everyone. 

We talk a bit about the Rembrandt in Louis and Armand’s dining room in Dubai and how it came to be in their possession. Evelyn wants to do a whole Ted Talk on Lestat and narcissism. We dive into Louis and Lestat’s parenting, Lestat and his relationship with Antoinette and how it compares to what he has with Louis, and The Drop. 

Rachael asks what is the perfect age to be turned into a vampire. Evelyn and Kerri agree that late 20s into your 30s is good. Definitely, after your brain has fully developed. Evelyn accidentally brings up Sam not being a natural blond and the whole existential crisis Sam had during his interview with Autumn Brown.

Next up, we’ll be watching season 1 of The Orville. Available on Hulu. TRAILER: https://youtu.be/cYRL93Ayp_g?si=PD4_6Du0UvUYBn0C

This week we’re doing it LIVE! Commentary style as we watch the 1988 classic Made For TV Movie Dance Til Dawn. This one has everything and everyONE you could want from an 80s movie. It’s Prom Night! There are new dates, old dates, surprise dates!

Apologies for the feedback sounds. We were working through some technical issues. It’s been cleaned up as much as possible. We hope it’s not too annoying.

You can find Dance Til Dawn here: https://youtu.be/OKQG87x8GmY?si=SkuvkLvFVecTZUGe. So, cue it up and watch along with us!!

Let’s head back to 2008 and discuss season 1 of the cult classic, Fringe. This was an interesting conversation. Evelyn loves it (she picked it!), Rachael really likes it, but Kerri could not get into it. The pseudo-science was just too pseudo for her to get into. But given some of the things Evelyn and Rachael mention about later seasons, maybe she’ll jump ahead a bit and see if she likes future episodes better. But everyone can agree that Joshua Jackson is amazing. Having his character be a conman gives him an interesting point of view into what Walter is doing and how he behaves. Perhaps this is one of those series that could be ripe for a reboot. 

Next month we will be watching the 1989 Made for TV Movie Dance Til Dawn, available on YouTube, and doing a live commentary along with it! TRAILER: https://youtu.be/S6MwIMdX3IA?si=UuuRt83h1R7_E2J1

This month, we watched the 2022 K Drama Sh**ting Stars, which we’re pretty sure is supposed to be Shooting Stars. But those asterisks are weird. 

The show itself is an interesting commentary on fan culture and celebrity fixation. And it’s also super cute and adorable. Tae Song and his driver coming up with ways for him to have a meet-cute with Han Byeol was one of the best things ever. 

We do wish Reporter Jo Ki-Bbeum had told her boss off and left to start her own agency. We’ll believe that happened once the show was over.

It was a little frustrating how often a scene would end with someone saying they have something important to tell someone else and then we don’t see that conversation actually happening until later in a flashback.

Next month we will be watching season 1 of Fringe. It is available on Max and Freevee (via Amazon Prime). TRAILER: https://youtu.be/29bSzbqZ3xE?si=-9OCE7B5hEkyUa65

This month, the girls discuss season 2 of NBC’s Hannibal. It’s a hit all around, though there are some small things that annoy. The cast is absolutely amazing. It’s visually stunning and even the sound design is on point. We debate if Hannibal has a moral compass, if he loves Will. And also how funny this show is.

Rachael does wish we had watched this in October, though.

Next month we will be watching the Korean drama Shooting Stars, available on Viki.

La Femme Nikita is the 90est show ever and we love it so much. It still holds up. We are quite confused about what country Section One is supposed to be associated with given the reveal in season 3 of where they are physically located. (SPOILER: It’s underground, below the Eiffel Tower.) Evelyn has ALL the things to say about Michael. Kerri and Rachael cannot fault her for any of it. The interactions between the elder statesmen in section - Operations, Madeline, and Walter - are really great to see in a show like this. (Are they in a throuple? Who knows?) 

How did Michael’s wife warrant only one episode? That should have been a much longer story arc. 

Kerri and Evelyn have many thoughts on Recasting if they were to remake this today. What do you think?

We do briefly discuss the CW remake from a few years ago and it just wasn’t quite as good. 

Overall, we highly recommend that everyone watch this show. Streaming free on Tubi!

Next month we will be watching Hannibal, Season 2. Now available on Amazon Prime. TRAILER: https://youtu.be/Hcq4IX7qIm4?si=JXI0KNPQc1rTe7b3

This month Rachael tests the friendships as we discuss season 4 of the hit Netflix dating show, Too Hot to Handle. It’s gloriously bad and there is definitely a lot to talk about. 

We really appreciate when the contestants are able to have real conversations about how they’re feeling. The workshops could use some help, though. The general idea of the show is interesting, but the execution could use some fixing. 

What would it take to be able to spend a week in that house? Cos that would be awesome.

We’re kicking off 2024 with season 1 of Suburra. Kerri LOVES this show. Evelyn enjoyed it, but not so much for Rachael. Despite the fact that there are no good guys, the characters are fleshed out enough that we do care for them. The plot might get a little bogged down in the middle, but it’s still a great story. 

For next month, in honor of Spring Break, Rachael has selected season 4 of Too Hot to Handle, available on Netflix.

We’re closing out the year with Evelyn’s new favorite show - Arcane. Rachael agrees that this show is excellent. It’s not really up Kerri’s alley, though. We’re not really sure why the upper city cares so much about the lower city wanting to be independent when they don’t really care about the people that live down there, anyway. Rachael and Kerri were expecting something more to happen between Mel and Jayce, as in a betrayal perhaps, but nothing did. Everyone does love the boytoy, though. He’s hilarious.

For January, Kerri has selected Suburra, Blood on Rome season 1 available on Netflix. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GcC9kduhO4 TUMBLR: https://showclubpod.tumblr.com/ EMAIL: [email protected]

This month, it’s time to meet The Outlaws! The 2021 series is available on Amazon Prime and stars Stephen Merchant and Christopher Walken. Season 2 is out now! Kerri definitely likes this one a lot more than Rachael’s last pick (Veronica Mars) and Evelyn thinks this is fine. 

SPOILER WARNING: There is a massive twist that happens near the end of this season that is discussed in detail. So, if you haven’t watched this show, go watch it and then come back and listen to what we have to say.

It’s an interesting show because while there’s a lot that happens and these people go through so much together, none of their circumstances have changed. The people have changed and become better, but their lives are exactly the same. It’s really good, though. 

Rani’s mom is really super awesome. We love her. We also love Greg and Gabby. They’re just awesome as friends. But what if Gabby’s dad is the boss of The Dean? That would be interesting.

What would you guys do if you found a giant bag full of money? Also, THEY PAINTED OVER A REAL BANKSY!!! How could they??

Next month, Evelyn has selected Arcane: League of Legends which can be found on Netflix.
