  • 74. Roswell and Roswell NM : Episode One (Hulu, The CW)

    It really happened. They really remade Roswell. One of Chris's favorite shows of all time. Does Roswell New Mexico live up to the legacy of the original? Does the original live up to the memories? Also what about Tess?

    Steve weighs in as someone completely fresh to the series, and we talk about the politics injected into the reboot. Do they work? Distract?

    And as always 30 second pitches and crossovers.

    It's always a special day when we have a special guest. this week Megan Fox (@TheRoseFox) joins us to discuss the Netflix She-Ra Reboot. 

    We dig into the controversy of the art style a little bit. We go back and watch the 1980s She-Ra (also on Netflix) Dig into a lot of Cartoon Nostalgia with Megan. And Steve and Chris Get chided for all the shows we HAVEN'T watched!

    All that and Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

  • Chilling Adventures of Sabrina : Episode One (Netflix)

    The show we've been waiting for since episode 3! Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is back again! An adaption of his new take on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is the perfect show to watch this Thanksgiving break (or after)

    How does a 8 issue run on the comics translate into a 10 episode series? What is still familiar from the Sabrina we know from the Melissa Joan Hart Version? How does Kiernan Shipka do all grown up?

    Also, what is left for us to crossover when it comes to comic book tv shows? Oh don't worry, we've got some doozies!!!
