We explain FLCL S1's perspective on sexuality and what it means to be an adult, looking at adult role models and the arcs of Ninamori and Naota. Shawn revisits the Magic Pixie Dream Girl trope as applied to FLCL. Then, we discuss what we thought about episode 1 of season 2 and our hopes and dreams for future episodes.

Jason and Shawn give some takes on Shogun World, discussing motherhood, doppelgangers, and whether Delores is a big bad or a good leader. We also nitpick cortical fluid. Then, we do a new segment that we're temporarily calling trailer roundup (19:02), where we watch the trailers for some new shows and decide whether we're enticed or not. We take a non-spoiler look at: Arrested Development S5, GLOW S2, Killing Eve, FLCL S2/S3, and Cobra Kai.

Shawn and Jason talk about why they loved episode 4 of Westworld (00:21), discussing how the stories were more focused and how deep it was philosophically. Then, they give their thoughts on the recently completed Silicon Valley season 5 (21:55), including how the show stays relevant and the extent of Richard's a**holeness.

Jason and Shawn give their broad thoughts on Westworld as a whole (0:46), and then give more specific thoughts about story structure, the nature of consciousness, and conflicts between main characters (3:42). In the second part of the show, we take on a confusing episode (aren't they all though?) of Legion (23:55). First, we unpack the many worlds in the episode, and then ponder what it means thematically, talking about grief and the limits of David's powers.

After a long hiatus, the podcast is back! We discuss (with spoilers) Legion season 2 at the halfway-ish point, from episode 1 through 5. Shawn also tries to convince Jason to give Netflix's Aggretsuko a watch (no spoilers).

The Ricklantis Mixup, dropped a huge bomb on us, so we figured this was a good time to discuss the show. We'll discuss themes and ideas across season 3 so far, from episode 1 through episode 7.

We wonder if Rick really does care about Morty (1:06) and debate the Original Morty fan theory (7:35). We examine what the show thinks about heroes and villains (11:56). We then discuss what it means to be mentally healthy (17:58) and compare how dark this season is compared to previous seasons (23:56). Finally, we talk about the Citadel and look ahead to the final episodes (29:09).

Need a show to watch after Game of Thrones? We, in a spoiler-free fashion, discuss some of the shows we're most excited about for this fall — some returning, some new. If you're looking for something gritty, try The Deuce (1:12). If you want a fun sitcom, binge The Good Place (6:06). If you crave excitement and fan theories, give Mr. Robot a go (12:05). If you want something emotional, weird, and hilarious, you want to watch Bojack Horseman (16:35). If you want sci-fi dystopia in standalone episodes, watch Black Mirror (20:37). If you want something cruel but funny and romantic, watch You're the Worst (26:16).

We go deep into Game of Thrones season 7 episode 7, The Dragon and the Wolf. At Winterfell, we mourn/celebrate the end of Littlefinger's latest scheme (0:58) and clarify Bran's powers (6:50). At King's Landing, we discuss the Dragon Pit meeting (10:44) and the Lannister reunion (17:00). We also continue our in-depth coverage of Jonerys (21:45)... or is it Aegonerys? Finally, we talk about The Wall and what's next (34:28).

So you've finished The OA... What was that ending? What really happened? Jason and Shawn parse through it, debating the relative merits of more mystical and less mystical interpretations. Has The OA been telling the truth or not? What powers do the movements have? We give our take on what really happened at the end, based on evidence from the entire season.

We go deep into Game of Thrones season 7 episode 6, Beyond the Wall. Despite all the action, our favorite moments were actually the conversations between the Magnificent 7 (0:48). After discussing that, we mourn Viserion (9:51) and speculate about his new abilities. We follow up on shipping Jonerys (17:52) and debate whether or not Dany can break the wheel (21:01). Shawn then debunks the dumb Bran is the Night King theory (25:46), while Jason tries to give the writers the benefit of the doubt with the Arya / Sansa drama (31:43). Finally, we make some wild guesses about what will happen in King's Landing for the finale (40:29).
