The Watchers

This week, The Watchers take the ferry out to Widow’s Bay. We review Episodes 1 - 3. Some fog, a haunted inn, a sea hag, and the Stephen King and Weird NJ vibes baked deep into the DNA of Katie Dippold's outstanding new show. Then we recap Episode 4, “Beach Reads,” where the immediately beloved Patricia and a cursed book throw us a party we'll never forget.

Next week, we're back with the Andrew DeYoung-directed episode, "What to Expect on your Trip."

If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.

This week on The Watchers, Andrea and Jodie are scrubbing out of The Pitt Season 2. We tie up the season and review what we know about what to expect from Season 3 (which is, honestly, kind of a lot).

Then we head back into the kitchen for The Bear with a recap of the surprise drop “Gary,” the one-hour movie/bonus episode that arrived ahead of the show’s final season.

And finally, we’re looking ahead to our next watch: Widow’s Bay, a show with Stephen King vibes, X-Files energy, and strong Jersey roots (also Stephen Root). We’ll start covering it with a recap of the first 3 episodes and a review of Episode 4.

Okay team, we're back at PTMC for the Season 2 finale of The Pitt. It's "9:00 P.M." and things are finally winding down. Jodie and Andrea catch up on the end of Robby’s impossible day, check in on everyone else as they ring the damn bell, and take that trip to the roof we've been worried about all season.

We'll be back next week for a look back on the season and a catch up of what else we've been watching lately.

DISCLAIMER: We recorded this episode before the finale. We're leaving in some obviously wrong predictions because we're very brave and not afraid to be wrong on the Internet. Thanks for your patience. And NO THANKS to these patients, amirite??

It's "8:00 P.M." and The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 14 of The Pitt, making our penultimate rounds. Andrea and Jodie check in on our patients, watch Robby continue his complicated little spiral, and spend a completely reasonable amount of time assigning everyone their Ren Faire roles.

We’ll finally be back with Episode 15 next week, so consider this your official excuse to rewatch the season before we clock out and make our way up to the roof.

An update, an apology, and a little advice from two people who can't take their own.

The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 13 of The Pitt. It’s “7:00 P.M.” and after a full 12 hours of watching the day shift slowly disintegrate, Jodie and Andrea are more than ready to sink into the night crew's warm, competent, extremely chill embrace. We meet the very welcome Dr. Crus Henderson (Crus Control, bay-bee!), spend not enough time with our dearest Dr. Shen (who really just needs some cake), and say goodnight (goodbye?) to Emma and Ogilvie. Meanwhile, our day shift team continues to stress us the hell out. But honestly, right now, while we're here in these show notes together, let's just ignore them for a few minutes and remind ourselves that we've still got two more hours with Abbott and the After Dark team. There now, doesn't that feel nice?

Finally, time for handoff! What could possibly go wrong? It's Season 2, Episode 12 of The Pitt, and Andrea and Jodie are making their “6:00 PM” rounds. This hour is a little light on patient stories and a lot heavy on interpersonal mess, as Dana and Robby finally say some of the things we’ve wanted them to say all season, Santos and Whitaker remain in their own little platonic rom-com, and Joy does some teaching of her own. McKay lays the smackdown on a golf asshole, we get a little lesson on the difficulties of rural medicine, and an elderly couple gives Mel and Mohan the chance to just be good doctors together. Plus: we meet Mateo After Dark, Javadi attempts to put her TikTok fame to good use, and we get a visit from a very patriotic lobster.

Here’s the Nurse Dana’s Admin Blood Donuts sticker we mentioned in this episode!

If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.

Time for The Pitt, Season 2, Episode 11: "5:00 P.M." Sorry for the delay on this one. How about we blame these cyber assholes? (Yes, I’m writing these notes while watching Episode 12.) We only need about a million more listeners before Andrea and Jodie can retire, at which point we can spend our dotage talking into microphones about TV shows, and Andrea will never be late again.

It's time to make our rounds on Season 2, Episode 10 of The Pitt. It's "4:00 P.M." and, honestly, Andrea is way behind on her charting and doesn't want to end up like Santos, so we’re keeping these notes short. Inside: Mel and Robby’s VIPs, waterslide patients, including Andrea's least favorite injury of the series so far, Al-Hashimi might actually be cool as hell?, and we make our predictions as we head into the back third of the season.

The Watchers are back at PTMC to recap Season 2, Episode 9 of The Pitt. It’s “3:00 P.M.” and we’re given one of the most PSA-ass PSAs of the series so far (it’s also one of the most gratifying, so we’re fine with it), meet Dana’s Dana, and mark the first two stops on Robby’s Farewell Tour. We check in on our patients, track what’s unfolding across the department, and break down some extremely important Jersey connections.
