TVDONUT

Episode 14 - "She's Not a Find-Outer. She's a Terminator." Our dear friend Erik very much regrets joining us for his third Donut because the longer we dig, the bigger the plot holes get in TTSCC. Despite wardrobe problems for teens on the lam, poor robot romance game, fake-out in media res, and time travel never making sense we're kind of into it. How about ya'll?

Episode 13 - "Prove You Love Me Means Let's Bone" - The Donut crew dig real deep under the overt and unapologetic sexism, racism, and homophobia that was 1981 to find the Carrington family charm, manipulations and non-stop backstabbing drama. Anyone with family will relate.

Episode 12 - The One Where We Talk About Friends - The Donuts dissect the decade-long, watched by tens of millions, quintessential sitcom FRIENDS. Topics include but are not limited to: Quick and effective character intros, Classic Thanksgiving eps, 90's hair and fashion, the "disgusting miracle" of childbirth ALWAYS looking fake on screen, frequent fishing in the dumb well and whether or not Ross and Rachel were really "on a break". #HowYouDoin

Inspired by our newfound love of Treme Bonusode #5 is an all out brawl over our favourite HBO shows of all time. Comedy vs Drama. Tony Soprano vs Hannah Horvath. GOT vs SATC. So much to debate. What's your fav Home Box Office offering? #LetBlaineDie

Episode 11 - "Now This Is Actually the Worst News of All Time" The Donut crew are blown away by David Simon's New Orleans drama Treme like they should have known they would be. (#TheWire). We dissect (and drool a little) over the acting, the writing, the incredible, extended, music sequences, the acting, and how many more hours we get to watch. Listen and then get into Treme. Unless you still haven't seen The Wire. In which case you know what you need to do.

Episode 10 - "What Is Killing Them Even Going To Do?" On the first weekend of Coachella The Donut Crew, minus PR, gather to discuss The Fades, BBC3's dark take on teen angst. We ponder open ended endings, good shows that just aren't for you, if women can be priests, and the need for the rules of any given TV Universe to be crystal clear. #TeamMac

Episode 9 - "Oh, Is That a Ca-Mer-A?" - The Donut Crew and bonus guests Jake Hiltz and Erik Jovanovic over a crowded table to watch some 30 Rock. We break down the total realness of diabetes, the difficulty of filming cross-country elevator scenes, ultra-dense joke ratios, Julianne Moore's status as living goddess, and of course the actual 30 rock series pilot AND finale!

Episode 8 - "He Was Genuinely Upset That He Had To Shoot Her In The Face" - The Donut Crew talk failed marketing campaigns, the devastation of the 2007 writer's strike, how great Vancouver looks on film no matter what city it's pretending to be, unnatural dialogue, laying too much pipe, and women on screen always running in heels.

Episode 7 - "Do You Mean Local Enforcement Officer? Yes, Thank You" - This week the crew focuses their discussion on two of the donuteers' favourite show of all time! The wonderful, mystical, imaginative world of Twin Peaks. A special prize, two quizzes, and a lot of emotion in this one.

With a bit of a different approach, we try to answer every single question that arose to the newcomer. You won't find out who killed Laura Palmer just by listening to this, for that you'll have to watch the show, but you'll get the answers to just about everything else!

Episode 6 - “Liam is Wendy’s Brother?”: We’re back into serious drama this week with Paul Abbot’s “Hit & Miss”. The gang digs into the problems of being a transgender assassin when you have four kids dropped on your doorstep, which is exactly as complicated as it sounds.

We also chat about the realities of fight scenes, what makes a satisfying conclusion, and how to keep track of characters who get onscreen without introductions,
