The Apple of Truth: Podcast

It is finally time. We talked about possibly covering this show since nearly day one of this podcast. And now, we are doing it! insert Richards little jump We are both so excited to talk about this show and hence it should not come as a surprise we managed to talk 80 minutes about a 20 minute episode. Vero even sings our very own version of the intro song! So sit down and get ready for obsession, adoration, exclamation and more! And please, do enjoy our very own attempt at filling the internet with more Galavant gifs! You can find them on our hopefully now more active socials or over on our Patreon (which helps us keep the lights on for you) : Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast Patreon: https://patreon.com/taotpodcast

It is time to wrap up this season, summon our thoughts and feelings and sometimes random talking points! We had a few drinks and talked about the good the bad the weird and the us during the recording of this 2nd season of the Sandman. Timestamps, cause it is a long one: 00:00:58 Classic bits (fave/worst char, most/least char development) 00:24:37 Random bits (rewatch commentary, Dead Boy Detectives, Ship names) 01:05:50 Defining things (Mirror sides of the Endless, Age order of the Siblings, Lyta Hall backstory, Gifts from the Fae) 01:42:10 Cleaning up the Questionaire list 01:52:12 Final final thoughts about this show and podcast coverage We also sprinkle (and flat out say) our next show throughout the episode, so either listen in or keep an eye on our socials for a logo reveal soon.

We truly have opinions. Luckily for us, we shared those opinions, so this episode did not get too bloody, but nontheless, trigger warnings for talk about suicide and depression. It is an interesting episode to finish the main coverage of this show, and though our rating isn't very positive, we did share quite a good few laughs, so hopefully it won't be a complete downer!

Finale time! And yes, there is one more episode to come before this season is actually over, but this is the Finale of The Story of Morpheus. Join us for quite the emotional recording (we managed to keep the crying mostly silent on Lina's side), where Lina tries to help Vero overcome her aversions of not just endings but especially the replacement of characters. And of course where we celebrate all the happy shipping to distract us from the emotional devastation of this episode. As expected, it's a rather long one, but we hope it gives you some closure as well.

Today you get a short one. Don't get used to it. (spoiler alert) We talk about Morpheus' demise, and though we had tried to focus on the positives, like Hettie and Barnabas and Hettie and Hettie, we often had to talk about Lyta, which you know from experience, wasn't the most pleasant situation. One of the reasons this episode is this short, is that we actually agreed on absolute majority of our opinions, so enjoy a harmony, that you only get to experience once in a blue moon.

Despite quite a bit of the various story lines neither of us enjoys, we managed to stay fairly (haha, get it?) positive during this recording. And on top of that we even managed to reign in our shit talk to a minimum. Probably mostly due to the fact that Lina was way too busy shipping everyone with anyone. So enjoy an episode where we ask a lot of questions and only have very few answers!

In the world of The Sandman, good things sometimes happen. And some of these things are related to Lina, especially in this episode. So join us in re-meeting the Greats that we all (mostly Lina) miss and love. Expect discussions and silly theories as per usual, but more commonly, expect thirst. Yes, everyone pretend to be shocked, there is much thirst involved. Have fun, we did! And since this happens to come out on the last the of the year: We hope you have a great New Year's and that next year, good things will happen to you and your loved ones!

The sharing of the braincell continues, probably one of the main reasons this episode is rather short. We kinda ended up agreeing on most relevant bits, and thus had time for some of our other, usual shenanigans. So strap in for the intense head cannons (cause Lina ships who she ships and no one can tell her otherwise), resurfaced dislike of season 1 characters, both of us failing to remember characters, and all in all just demanding more insight into the lore of The Sandman universe.

The story of Orpheus comes to an end in quite gruesome way in this episode, but much happens before that. We debate motivations yet again, but we finally seem to be finding our rythm, because yet again, we have seemed to share a braincell for most of important plot points. Lina shares her love for lumberjacks of all kinds and Vero talks about theatre again. In the end we both have theories about the future of our characters, some more founded than others. There also IS more Hadestown references (Vero is NOT sorry).

It has finally happened - both Vero and Lina are actually agreeing on things in this episode! It took several episodes but now we are back to accidentally reading from each others notes, agreeing on relevant plot points and even being accepting of the few moments we do differ in our interpretation. So join in for some good vibes, some random tangents and some (at least to us) entertaining debates about this episode, that sadly has nothing to do with Hadestown.

If you thought you heard us disagree before, strap in, because this one is a doozy. Basically anything we could argue about, we did. Dream's motivations are a discussion on any day, but at times you will wonder, if we watched the same thing, becase so were we. This episode was a frustrating watch, but hopefuly we managed to bring you some interesting speculations and lift the GOOD that we did find, so please bare with us, it will get better!

This episode starts out with loads of interesting bits and pieces, happy debates and by the end of it, it unravels. Tangents and fights make this a very chaotic episode, and we hope there is more harmony in the future (but alas, if you know us...) So settle in for a lot of opinions and a wiiiiide range of interpretations of several scenes.

There is a filler episode and a filler episode. Welcome to Lina struggling to find anything about the plot, she enjoyed, mostly because there's not much of a plot to talk about. As Morpheus goes through the candidates for the ruler of Hell, Vero gets very focused on Nada, and breezes over details, that may or may not be important in the next episode. While Lina still hates how they pronounce Azazel's name on the show, and finds a new character to love.

We are back! Life kept us busy and distracted but finally we are here to finish what we started: The Sandman. After the harmonious recordings of Dirk Gently, strap in for strongly differing interpretations of scene, opinions on behaviour and preferences on pretty much anything.

It's that special time of the season again! Come dive with us into the Best and the Worst that this season had to offer, learn what Lina found out about season 3 of Dirk Gently and listen to Vero being mostly proud of her predictions. As per usual, this is the episode you get to hear us as unfiltered as we will ever be. We didn't do shots this time, but we still managed a lovely chaos. With a surprise, we found out we actually did agree on a few things too! Here are all the links from Lina's notes mentioned in the episode: Comprehensive Video reg. s3 of Dirk Gently by the Electric Monks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4KelIYB7CU Interview with Arvind Ethan David by the Electric Monks: https://pocketcasts.com/podcasts/32c1a150-b226-0136-7b93-27f978dac4db/a31af9e5-351d-4a0a-96c2-025d5bbc697f Show Bible for Dirk Gently PDF: https://tvwriting.co.uk/tv_scripts/Collections/Drama/Dirk_Gently/Dirk_Gently_-_Bible.pdf Socially distanced Dirk Gently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6OAAhQeflA Quick update you will hear in the episode as well, we are taking a short break, life is currently lifing, so we will be back with further updates soon!

This is it - the finale! And it's a long one. We have all the emotions, opinions, revelations and debates. Lina finally can come clean about some of her slightly petty tries of misleading Vero and also won't shut up about various things she simply could not mention before Vero reached this episode. We went on a lot of tangents and had to take out quite a bit of material, because we simply did not stop talking about things that probably will end up being topics for the Summoning episode. But as chaotic as we are, who knows which of that is actually going to be talked about, so if you don't wanna miss out, check out our Patreon to find all of that tasty bonus audio: https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast And if you don't already, feel free to follow us on our not really active socials: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast

The penultimate episode! So much happening, so many feelings, so much blood and most importantly: So many prediction still waiting to be proven wrong or right. Vero's opinions have solidified and nothing Lina says can change her mind on certain things. But also sometimes Lina manages to put some made-up-on-the-spot explanations towards Vero and turn a meh reactions to a happy one. Join us for a wild ride this time! Also! Not only is our Summoning episode coming up SOON (after the regular release day of this, you will have FOUR DAYS until we record if you wanna send us feedback), but we also mention in this episode that Vero got to be a guest on another podcast! Once that episode is released, we will of course be sharing it on our socials, so make sure to follow us there: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast

Finally we get some resolution for our case! Most of the team assembles in Wendimore and Dirk lays down the case, which obviously means a time of vindication for Lina, because she gets to do a lot of YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THIS, VERO!! But before we get to that point, we discuss every possible detail, and of course, Vero makes a bunch more predictions for what's next! Don't forget, that our Summoning episode is coming up, so please do send us your opinions and questions to dirkgently@taot-podcast.com, or slide into our dms on our social media: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast

The end is getting nearer, Vero's prediction keep driving Lina up the walls, more LOTR references and paralleling needs stating and all in all this just continues to be utterly delightful on every level. Summoning episode is coming up, so if you want, please do send us your thoughts to our email dirkgently@taot-podcast.com or use our social media accounts: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast

This will never get shorter, we're afraid. Strap in, because we discuss every single detail of this episode and Lina is hell bent on trying to push Vero into more and more predictions. And if you feel like we don't seem to remember what we discussed at the start of the episode that well, it's because we had to break this recording in two, due to....wait for it... technical difficulties. Hopefully the transition feels seemless, but who's to say? (you are, it's on you) If you want, please do send us your thoughts to our email dirkgently@taot-podcast.com or use our social media accounts: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theappleoftruth.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taotpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast
