After nine years and 36 episodes, Stephen Knight's Peaky Blinders  concluded its series with a whopping 80-minute finale. On Today's Episode, we talk about the show in general, season six, and the events of the last episode. Though some complained that the penultimate installments may have dragged a bit, and that certain characters were under utilized, you would be hard pressed to find someone who was not satisfied by the windup of episode six. We highly recommend you check out the show before tuning in, but all are welcome! Hope you enjoy.

Apple TV's latest hit series, Pachinko is a fascinating take on Korean-Japanese turbulence in the early 20th century. On Today's Episode, we talk about the first three chapters released last Friday.  Apologies in advance, however. During the editing process, I found that we accidentally started referring to "Sunja" (the main character) as "Sanju" midway through the podcast and didn't catch the error.  Pachinko is fascinating, and if you enjoyed it as much as I did I hope you tune in! Have a great week! 

Halo is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. In the last 20 years, it has extended beyond games, to novels, comics, movies, anime, toy brands, and now this television series.
On Today's Episode, we're talking about episode one, Contact, which premiered on March 24th to the biggest audience in Paramount+ history. The futuristic alien vs super-soldier story might be different than you remember, and the path the show took to get here- a little unorthodox, but that just leaves us with more to discuss.
Tune in and enjoy!

On Today's Episode we're discussing the events of the third segment to this 10 hour series. From 80s nostalgia, to Adam McKay comedy, to crazy cliffhangers and Adrien Brody playing 15 years his junior, the show is BUSY and the production isn't boring either. Tune in while we jump into it!

WeCrashed is Apple TV’s well produced and sharply written account of a prominent startup, which we’ve already seen several other versions of this year. Though the comparisons are obvious to Hulu’s Dropout or Showtimes Super Pumped, we spend Today’s Episode breaking down the first three episodes and figuring out what makes them different. Given I had never heard of WeWork, this was my introduction to the company. Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto star as Adam Neumann and Rebekah Neumann, two very eccentric personalities. Hope you enjoy the podcast!
