This episode is where the hivemind stops being theoretical and starts handing out live grenades. In Pluribus Episode 3 (“Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”), Carol tests the boundaries of her immunity — and the show’s premise — with a shopping list of weapons, sarcasm, and grief-fueled defiance.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:Carol’s grenade wish gets granted — and she nearly takes out ZosiaThe “wish fulfillment” rules of the hivemind start to crack (literally)Carol’s Norwegian ice hotel flashback: goofy setup, clunky payoffThat restocked Whole Foods sequence: instant oat milk, max satireThe nuke-baiting convo with a DHL guy that’s straight out of Dr. StrangeloveCarol’s suicide-by-grenade metaphor — and what it says about the rules of this worldThe logic gaps: why hasn’t the hivemind dismantled all WMDs? Who’s actually in charge?Is Helen being used for emotional blackmail from beyond the grave?Pluribus continues to be bold, messy, and full of potential — but Episode 3 may be its most narratively shaky yet. Still, Rhea Seehorn carries every frame, and Brandon & Chanel are here for the existential breakdowns, metaphysical red flags, and Apple TV's weirdest sci-fi swings.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...

We’ve officially entered the weird zone. In Episode 5 of The Chair Company, “I Won. Zoom In.,” Ron and Mike take a road trip into the sketch-comedy Twilight Zone, and it might be the best (and most chaotic) episode yet. A Scrooge-obsessed cokehead, a method actor turned CFO impersonator, and a basement that might as well be a portal to another dimension? Yes, please.Brandon & Chanel break down all the madness:The best I Think You Should Leave–adjacent scene yet: Oliver Probblo’s “Scrooge all year” monologueRon and Mike’s descent into Ohio’s weirdest town — and why every door opens into a new nightmareA Christmas Carol-themed porn parody (seriously), a photo-hunt callback, and a coke-fueled brawlBasement chases, door slams, light pole climbing, and two concussions for RonMike’s emotional reveal: his estranged daughter, his past in the town, and his vulnerabilityDouglas survives a fridge (and drops a monologue worthy of Jim Downey’s Hall of Fame)Jamie clutches a crucifix while watching her boss lose his grip (again)That ending: Dickensian chaos, emotional catharsis, and one hell of a Scrooge punchlineThe Chair Company continues to merge paranoid 1970s thrillers with Adult Swim absurdism — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every glorious sketch-within-a-story beat.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe →    / @wewaswatching

From the mind of Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) comes the most original sci-fi premiere in years. In Episodes 1 & 2 of Pluribus (“We Is Us” and “Pirate Lady”), a rogue radio signal from deep space triggers a global transformation — and only one person is left unconnected: speculative romance author Carol Sturka, played by a powerhouse Rhea Seehorn.Brandon & Chanel dive into everything you missed:The alien RNA signal that infects the world via… saliva and donutsRhea Seehorn’s brilliant performance as the reluctant resistanceThe arrival of Pirate Lady, a real-life version of Carol’s book characterHelen’s tragic death and what it means to “join” the hivemindSeizures triggered by Carol’s emotions (that may have killed 11 million people 😬)The mysterious 12 “immunes” — are they humanity’s last hope or just passengers?Mind-melding, wine country, Air Force One cameos, and a very weird backhoe momentGilligan’s mix of psychological dread, sci-fi absurdism, and razor-sharp comedy makes Pluribus feel like a collision of Arrival, Watchmen, and Better Call Saul. This is the kind of show you binge, rewatch, and obsess over — and Brandon & Chanel are breaking it all down.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #VinceGilligan #AppleTV #WeIsUs #PirateLady #Hivemind #SciFiThriller #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #BreakingBadFans #BetterCallSaul #CarolSturka #MindControlSciFi

Opioids. In. The. Chairs. That’s the theory, and Ron Trosper is all in. In The Chair Company Episode 4, the paranoia ratchets up as Ron’s delusions (or revelations?) send him deeper into Tecca’s tangled web of weirdness, broken furniture, and—somehow—modeling scams.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:Flashbacks to Ron & Barb’s big dreams — Jeep tours & breast pumps, anyone?Everpump vs. Everfail — the entrepreneurial crash that may have broken RonChair schematics, hydraulic levers, Hungarian exports, and spreadsheet Pepe Silvia madnessA fake-out cop sting… for a Big Green EggThe legendary “Bahld Harmon” beats Ron for a modeling gig (and Ron’s ego will never recover)Mistaken yearbook drama that makes the HR investigation so much worseRed balls, tuba mascots, and pop-ups from the Red Ball Market GlobalA Jason-masked figure, waving at a camera next to a lone Tecca chair. Yep.It’s True Detective meets I Think You Should Leave in this slow descent into office paranoia and personal failure. Is Ron uncovering a dark pharmaceutical plot? Or is he finally snapping under the weight of suppressed ambition and unresolved trauma?Whatever the truth is — it’s absolutely hilarious, and Brandon & Chanel are here for every unhinged moment.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCylyV4QUrDQWJOFyb?si=4df72d17cc5d4fae🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-was-watching-podcast/id1640612856📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatching?sub_confirmation=1#TheChairCompany #TimRobinson #BahldHarmon #RedBallMarket #Everpump #TeccaChairs #WeWasWatching #HBOComedy #ChairConspiracy #ComedyThriller #TVRecap #OpioidChairs #MistakenModeling

Gen V ends with blood, betrayal, and a major tie-in to The Boys. In the Season 2 finale “Trojan,” the Guardians of Godolkin take on their deadliest enemy yet — Thomas Godolkin himself — as the school’s namesake unleashes a full-scale massacre to cull the supe population.

Brandon & Chanel break down everything you need to know:

• Marie’s powers reach terrifying new heights — but at what cost?

• Cate, Emma, and Annabeth’s emotional returns and reconciliations

• Doug (formerly Cipher) reveals the real puppetmaster behind it all

• Sister Sage’s master plan with Homelander ties directly into The Boys Season 5

• Godolkin’s classroom bloodbath + dance number = unhinged villain energy

• That A-Train and Annie cameo: The Resistance is real.

As the dust settles, our heroes are fugitives, Vought spins the narrative, and Polarity’s redemption arc pays off in the most emotional way. This isn’t just a finale — it’s a launchpad for something massive in the Vought-verse.

“There’s 5 Rons now.” And that’s still not enough to unravel the madness. In Episode 2 of The Chair Company, the chaos ramps up as Ron Trosper’s investigation into the mysterious Tecca chair company sends him spiraling deeper into paranoia, poor decisions, and extremely uncomfortable HR meetings.

Off-kilter, unhinged, and painfully hilarious — HBO’s The Chair Company is everything we hoped it would be. In Episode 1, “Life Goes By Too F**king Fast, It Really Does,” we meet Ron Trosper, a fragile project manager whose life starts to spiral after a chair collapses mid-presentation. But what starts as slapstick embarrassment quickly turns into a full-blown corporate thriller — or maybe just a mental breakdown in real-time.

Brandon & Chanel dive into:

• Ron’s anxiety-riddled descent from mall project lead to potential whistleblower

• The weirdly intense investigation into chair manufacturer Tecca

• A brutal necklace-ripping HR incident

• Accidental upskirting, hiding in offices, and a wheelbarrow subplot for the ages

• The show’s surprisingly sharp satire of masculinity, stress culture, and internalized shame

Is there a conspiracy? Or is Ron just unwell? Either way, The Chair Company blends Tim Robinson’s sketch-comedy energy with serialized storytelling and Enemy of the State visual cues. It's off the rails in the best way — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every awkward, chaotic, HR-violating moment.
