Based on a short story by Katherine Heiny, DMV is CBS’s new workplace comedy starring Harriet Dyer, Tony Cavalero, and Tim Meadows. The first two episodes establish a world built around everyone’s favorite pastime: waiting in line and eavesdropping on the hundreds of angsty drivers about to take their tests, renew their plates, or get that weird star on their ID.

On the podcast, we cover the plot, trivia, and comparisons. The show is directed by Trent O’Donnell and written by showrunners Dana Klein and Matt Kuhn, featuring several No Activity alumni.

The Resurrected is a Taiwanese revenge-thriller on Netflix. We cover the first two episodes (“Execution Day” and “Resurrection Day”). Shu Qi and Sinje Lee play Wang Hui‑chun and Chao Ching, two grieving mothers who resurrect Chang Shih‑kai, a convicted scam ringleader, for just seven days to make him pay. One daughter lies in a coma, the other was cremated, and the ritual only works under strict rules. The show opens with a bizarre ritual, then layers in crime, horror, and moral reckoning. We dive into standout moments, narrative leaps, emotional tone, and whether the revival delivers justice or chaos. Comparisons: Cruel Summer, Sunny, The Tempest, and The OA. Tune in and enjoy.

On this podcast, we cover the pilot of The Chair Company on HBO, created by Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin. Tim plays Ron, a mall development manager whose chair collapses post-speech, setting off an absurd chain of paranoia, corporate dread, and possible conspiracies. Think Curb, The Curse, and a dash of Severance, though goofier. We talk performances, oddball supporting characters, possible HR nightmares, fan-favorite bits, and our theories. The comparison list isn't short and we also throw in some trivia. Tune in for our rating! Welcome to Today's Episode!

The Last Frontier on Apple TV+ is a high-stakes thriller from Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp. The first two episodes (“Blue Skies” and “Winds of Change”) focus on U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick (Jason Clarke) in Fairbanks, as he’s tasked with wrangling a crash full of escaped inmates and a rogue CIA asset.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story kicks off with “MOTHER!,” a chilly, wild plunge into the story of the Plainfield Ghoul. Charlie Hunnam does his best to embody the infamous serial killer. From his awkward voice to his fascination with Nazi pulp magazines and his mother (played by Laurie Metcalf), this third edition of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s series fits right in with the polarizing nature of the first two seasons. Before giving our rating, we run down the episode, the scariest and strangest moments, and go through some trivia. Tune in and enjoy.

A severed hand, a missing billionaire, and a suspicious trophy wife.

We discuss the cliffside vibes and the cast—led by Jesse Williams, who steers a small crew of talented misfits through the hotel’s emergencies. After weighing the pros and cons, and the logic faux pas, we share our rating. Tune in and enjoy. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

Chad Powers is Hulu’s new sports comedy, born from Eli Manning’s 2022 walk-on prank at Penn State. Glen Powell stars as Russ Holliday, a disgraced former quarterback who fakes the new identity “Chad Powers” to earn a second shot at his dream career.

We compare it to everything from Stick to Younger, Ted Lasso to The Replacements, and wonder what Loki creator Michael Waldron is doing behind the scenes. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

Disney+’s Marvel Zombies spins the “What If… Zombies?!” timeline into a full-season undead romp. Five years after the outbreak, Kamala Khan teams up with Kate Bishop, Ironheart, and an AI-Natalie stuffed bear for a road trip through a Z-soaked MCU. Between Zemo’s floating fortress, a trap at New Asgard, and a Nova Corps quarantine that turns Earth into a snow globe, we break down the big swings (Wanda as zombie queen, the Infinity Hulk showdown), the best gags and grisliest deaths, and cameos. Then we get into what works (pacing, creative kills, improved humor) and what doesn’t (plot holes, certain sacrifices, and that cliffhanger after being billed as a miniseries).

Is this snackable apocalypse worth your time—or just franchise leftovers? Tune in for our recap, comparisons, trivia, and final rating.

FX and Sterlin Harjo team up again for The Lowdown. We dig into the first two episodes—“The Sensitive Kind” and “The Devil’s Mama”—of this Oklahoma dark comedy/noir. Ethan Hawke’s battered “truthstorian” Lee Raybon chases the skeletons in the Washberg family’s closet. From a sus “suicide” to dodging neo-Nazi haymakers, we break down what worked, what didn’t, our favorite moments, and how it connects (and doesn’t) to Reservation Dogs. Shout-outs to the acting, some Tulsa texture, and a bunch of quick comparisons (ex: Fargo, The Nice Guys, Bored to Death). Welcome to Today's Episode!

Though this miniseries may have taken the fact it's a dark comedy with the title Black Rabbit a little too literally, judging by the lack of lighting, Netflix’s latest is an intriguing blend of restaurant drama, heist thriller, and thorny family saga. In the pilot, “The Cyclone,” we follow two brothers, Jake and Vince, as they reunite just as their NYC restaurant is about to expand.

From a botched robbery to a visit from a New York Times food critic to looming money trouble, we run through the pilot’s plot, highlight standout performances, compare it to shows like The Better Sister, The Bear, and Feed the Beast, and toss around some theories about that cliffhanger ending.
