Legion: A Podcastica & Bald Move Podcast

Bonus Episode: Introducing Wax EpisodicHi, Jason here. This is a special bonus episode reposted from my new podcast, Wax Episodic, where I cover top-tier, story-rich TV shows one season at a time with different co-hosts.We’re kicking things off with Alien: Earth, and I wanted to share the first episode here so you can check it out. If you like it, please consider subscribing to Wax Episodic — it’s my new podcast home, and you can find it at ⁠waxepisodic.com⁠. Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts.PS I know you guys are into 80s nostalgia like us, and so Alien: Earth might be right up your alley — it taps into that gritty, suspenseful sci-fi vibe of classics like Aliens and The Thing, but with a fresh, modern edge.PS Since most of you loved Legion, I think you’ll be really interested in Alien: Earth — another brilliant, wild ride from Noah Hawley.Alien: Earth S1E1&2: “Neverland” & “Mr. October”The wait is over — Alien: Earth has landed, and Noah Hawley’s first two episodes deliver everything we hoped for: suspense, grotesque alien terrors, strange new lifeforms, and a sharp look at how unchecked corporate ambition could shape our future — in a series that (at least so far) feels both classic and brand new. Join Jason, Randy, and Kara as we dig into “Neverland” and “Mr. October.”Links from the episode:Brain interface used to edit YouTube video — paralyzed Neuralink patient also uses AI to narrate with his own voice:⁠https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/brain-interface-used-to-edit-youtube-video-paralyzed-neuralink-patient-also-uses-ai-to-narrate-with-his-own-voice?utm_source=chatgpt.com⁠ Next up on Wax Episodic: Alien: Earth S1E3 “Metamorphosis”!Let us know your thoughts:Email or send a voice message to: transmissions@podcastica.comOr join the discussion in our Alien: Earth Facebook group: ⁠facebook.com/groups/alienearthpodcastica⁠

We're glad to see the return of Jemaine Clement and Jean Smart to the series, and who better to quickly bring up Syd from infancy to repair the damage done by David and instill her with the healthy rearing she'll probably need to come out okay on the other end of Legion in two short weeks!Check out our coverage of Noah Hawley's new show, Alien: Earth, on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.comJoin the discussion: legion@podcastica.comSupport Jason's podcasting: patreon.com/jasoncabassiSupport Bald Move: baldmove.com/support-us/membershipRettward von Doernberg's “Stay A While” (as heard in our outro) and other songs can be found at thecaravel.net

David's gone full-on bad guy in this one, casually shattering, disintegrating, and mind-wiping his enemies left and right. But it'll be fine, he's going to fix everything.Check out our coverage of Noah Hawley's new show, Alien: Earth, on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.comJoin the discussion: legion@podcastica.comSupport Jason's podcasting: patreon.com/jasoncabassiSupport Bald Move: baldmove.com/support-us/membershipRettward von Doernberg's “Stay A While” (as heard in our outro) and other songs can be found at thecaravel.net

Dark, blurred-out, glowy-eyed, long-nosed, periphery-dwelling, time-eating, toothy, grinning demons infiltrate Legion this week for possibly the creepiest and most horrific episode yet. Innovative, emotional, tragic, triumphant, and trippy as ever.Check out our coverage of Noah Hawley's new show, Alien: Earth, on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.comJoin the discussion: legion@podcastica.comSupport Jason's podcasting: patreon.com/jasoncabassiSupport Bald Move: baldmove.com/support-us/membershipRettward von Doernberg's “Stay A While” (as heard in our outro) and other songs can be found at thecaravel.net

Legion gave us something completely new this week (just like I was hoping it would), with the introduction of the long awaited Professor X and his backstory. It was new and different but also reflective of the series' past, with some chilling moments, sweetness, romance, and terror. It filled in some blanks, and raised a few questions. Join A.Ron, Rima, and Jason as we explore the implications!Check out our coverage of Noah Hawley's new show, Alien: Earth, on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.comJoin the discussion: legion@podcastica.comSupport Jason's podcasting: patreon.com/jasoncabassiSupport Bald Move: baldmove.com/support-us/membershipRettward von Doernberg's “Stay A While” (as heard in our outro) and other songs can be found at thecaravel.net  

Excited to welcome A.Ron Hubbard of Bald Move back into the fold this week, officially making this a joint Bald Move / Podcastica production. Grab your ceramic cartoon character vaporizer and let's celebrate! P.S. This episode has us examining the nature of healthy and unhealthy relationships in a way that made me (Jason) feel like I'm being tricked into therapy. Slightly uncomfortable, yet cathartic.Check out our coverage of Noah Hawley's new show, Alien: Earth, on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.comJoin the discussion: legion@podcastica.comSupport Jason's podcasting: patreon.com/jasoncabassiSupport Bald Move: baldmove.com/support-us/membershipRettward von Doernberg's “Stay A While” (as heard in our outro) and other songs can be found at thecaravel.net

Whew, rough season finale if you're rooting for David to be the hero. This episode had us spinning with possibilities, wondering whether we've been misreading reality from the start. Basically, Noah Hawley is the Shadow King and he's messing with our minds!!! Note: Jason's audio is crappy sounding for the first 6 minutes or so because of a technical flub, but then it sounds clear after that. Thanks to all you good people (who deserve to be loved) for coming along with us this season - as you can tell, we really dig this show, and it's so fun and rewarding to dive into and talk about in-depth. So, we'll be back next season!And who knows, maybe we'll come back with a bonus episode sometime in between.In the meantime, check out our coverage of Noah Hawley's new show, Alien: Earth, on the Wax Episodic podcast: waxepisodic.comThis podcast is made possible by listeners like you (and you too) who have supported us at patreon.com/jasoncabassi.

Some clarification on some longstanding mysteries this episode, and some seemingly deliberate obfuscation too. Also beauty, horror, love, deceit, tenderness, antagonism, loving support, and callously frivolous murder, and possibly the first meeting between David and the "real" Amahl Farouk. Exciting!
