October 16, 2020 11: Lovecraft Country Ep. 9 "Rewind 1921" Discussion
The penultimate episode of Lovecraft Country is here sending us on an adventure back in time to yet another shockingly terrible moment in civil rights history. As the plot points start coming together, is the show setting itself up for a grand finale? Or is it poised to fall on its face?

What do you think about it as we prepare for the conclusion?

October 15, 2020 10: Lovecraft Ep. 8 "Jig-A-Bobo" Discussion
The Alums take on the eighth episode of Lovecraft Country. The end of the season is relentlessly approaching like a pair of dancing demon girls. Is the series building up for an amazing conclusion? Or is it wobbling off the rails?

October 01, 2020 9: Lovecraft Country Ep. 7 "I Am" Discussion
The return (of sorts) of a beloved character! Is it enough to keep up the momentum from last week's episode? Or has Lovecraft Country's return to the main story also brought back the return of mediocrity?

We definitely have a few things to say about it. What did you think? How did you enjoy "I Am"? Let us know!

And remember, the first Friday of each month for the remainder of 2020 is Band Camp Friday where all proceeds from purchases on Band Camp go directly to the artists. As stated in the video, we highly recommend two familiar names from the HPLHS Dark Adventure Radio Theatre series:
Reber Clark
Troy Sterling Nies
Please support them and any of the other great musicians sharing their art with the world on that site!

We discuss an episode about metamorphosis and wonder if our opinions on this intriguing show are beginning to transform as well. We're only at the midpoint of the season but is the series running out of steam?
