  • BRP: The Body Count Is High!
    This week Alyssa is joined by Derek, Salena and Erin to chat about the death throes of February sweeps. We're not kidding about death throes either - the bodies are piling up on Heroes and Grey's Anatomy. We talk about hilarity on 30 Rock and absolute menace on The Office. We ask some questions about LOST and we bid adieu to the wacky world of The OC. And we offer up our best Oscar predictions while busting out bad Boston accents for the DePAHted.

  • BRP: Her name is Veronica
    This week Alyssa is joined by Derek, Salena and Erin to discuss the world of noir in southern California on Veronica Mars. We talk about who killed Dean O'Dell, what we love about the show, and what we think about the big mysteries that the show tackles each week. Plus we giggle, incessantly - that's probably annoying. We talk at length about mysteries from seasons 1, 2, and 3 so be warned!
