Like the show, the podcast got its perfect ending!

Just the ultimate series finale of all time! Read more...

TM58 – S4E10 – The Beginning

We marvel over the tightly-written 12 Monkeys penultimate episode, "One Minute More," in which secrets are revealed that reach all the way back to season 1, but we also get plenty of shocking revelations from only the final season, such as who the real demon is! With such a wonderful set up, how could the series finale be anything other than epic?

Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for "One Minute More"! This week we talk about emotions and decisions portrayed without a single moment of dialogue, the masterful weaving of flashback and current narrative, the heart-breaking sacrifices that both Hannah and Cassie must make, and the beautiful fireside moment that gives this episode its name.

TM57 – S4E9 – One Minute More

"Demons" has an epic feel that takes us as close to the beginning and end of things as we've ever been in 12 Monkeys! The medieval setting really gives the story the depth it needed to take the team up the stairs to ring the bell, but what could the loss of the weapon mean? And where would the makeshift splinter machine have taken Cole?

Join us for 12 Monkeys news, commentary and analysis for “Demons”! This week we talk about Jennifer's important realizations, the Seers' cryptic statements, Andrus' amazing characterization, Olivia's grim determination, Cole's wonderful vest rescue, and - of course - Deacon's ultimate sacrifice.
