The gang finally beams down to Patience, Colorado, for a deep dive into Resident Alien — Syfy’s darkly funny, small-town sci-fi gem starring Alan Tudyk as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, the extraterrestrial doctor doing his best (and worst) impression of a human being.Alan Tudyk continues proving that being socially awkward might just be his natural state.We’re not saying he’s actually an alien… but no human nails confusion this perfectly.Asta’s doing emotional heavy lifting while Harry’s still trying to figure out how blinking works.D’Arcy is living proof that bad decisions can be a full-time personality.Sheriff Mike’s ego has its own gravitational pull, and Liv deserves hazard pay just for showing up.Max and Sahar see through Harry instantly — because children and demons can both smell lies.Patience, Colorado: where everyone knows your secrets and will still wave when you drive by.Scott confirms that small-town meetings are basically the same as alien invasions — just with worse snacks.Brenda thought Resident Alien was a reality show. We thought she was kidding. She wasn’t.The show somehow balances murder, heart, and comedy better than most people balance their checking accounts.AI could probably write a season of TV by now, but it still couldn’t handle Sheriff Mike’s one-liners.Nancy is unanimously voted “Most Likely to Get Abducted” because she’d ask aliens about their trauma.Resident Alien is proof that pretending to be human is harder than it looks — and most of us still suck at it.In conclusion, it’s a show about aliens, but somehow the humans are the weirdest ones in it.
It’s the Jaws 50th Anniversary, and the crew dives in teeth-first—between margaritas, echo problems, and an existential debate about Gen Z’s blank stares.Scott rants about corrupt media mergers.Brenda traumatizes everyone with her revelation of LaBuBus.Patrick brings back cassette nostalgia.Nancy delivers a perfectly perfect rant about how every customer service rep says perfect for everything, which is perfectly fine until it’s perfectly maddening—and perfectly proof that nothing is actually perfect. Yet somehow it all circles back to Jaws and the things that scarred us as kids.A nostalgic, chaotic, and occasionally profound episode about sharks, stares, and society’s slow drift into vinyl toy-fueled madness.
Welcome back to the podcast where Nancy, Scott, and returning guest stars Brenda and Patrick, dig into the cultural minefield known as The Gorge, only to emerge hours later covered in emotional goo, haunted by Sigourney Weaver, and armed with a spreadsheet that may or may not be sentient.Patrick finally unveils his Gorge spreadsheet, a multi-tabbed descent into madness that attempts to quantify vibes, moral alignment shifts, and trauma loops. It causes Scott actual pain.Brenda confidently references Season Negative One, “Zone Shifts,” and “The Reboot Arc,” while everyone else just tries to remember who Timmy is.Nancy ties The Gorge to T.S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men, because apparently this episode needed more existential dread.Scott goes full kaiju nerd, declaring that Godzilla is the only creature who truly understands The Gorge. YouTube fan-edits are mentioned. They have changed him.The 2005 King Kong movie gets a standing ovation for being creepy, gooey, and emotionally scarring in all the right ways. Special shoutout to the skull-headed spider crabs.Nancy brings up Invasion of the Body Snatchers, somehow perfectly describing the facial scream vibe of half the finale.The Alien franchise takes over for a solid chunk as Sigourney Weaver, screaming queens, and acid blood are all treated as canonically related to The Gorge.A tangent about super soldiers leads straight into Marvel territory, Daryl Hannah in Sense8 (yes, the orgies are discussed), and Anson Mount’s entire vibe in Strange New Worlds.Nicole Kidman shows up via Eyes Wide Shut, and no one knows how we got there—but everyone agrees it’s relevant.Brenda tries to make a case for The Gorge being emotional storytelling. Scott calls it formatting trauma.Everyone lists shows they’re actually excited about—The Last of Us S2, Andor, Daredevil: Born Again, Alien: Earth, and more. For one brief moment, there is hope.The episode closes with a recap of chaos: Timmy’s status is unresolved, and everyone’s just a little bit broken by what they’ve watched.Other highlights include:Arguments about whether goo is literal or metaphoricalPatrick referencing “4.2KM” like it’s a thing we’re all supposed to understandA debate on Anson Mount’s entire existenceSpringtime for Elon, the Smurfs, the Sound of Music, and at least one reference to The NeverEnding StoryIn short, this episode is a broken film studies final — annotated in crayon, about grief, genre confusion, and YouTube fan edits — wrapped in a haiku, whispered by Nicole Kidman, and screamed by an alien.
Welcome back to the podcast, where we grab the wheel of culture, yank it towards the median, and immediately drive straight into a ditch full of Shark Tank reruns, basketball-fueled trauma, and questionable streaming choices of movies based in 2025.Our season opener two-parter brings back guest guest (star?) Patrick who brings his wife Brenda along for the ride. Who do YOU think lost the bet?Nancy questions the value of diamonds and why they're not worth anything - unless you make them out of your dead friends.Scott loses his mind over tiny-town basketball preempting his hero Mark Cuban taking Russian operative Kevin O'Leary out to the woodshed.Nancy goes on another anime tirade but Scott can’t quite grasp the point of “screaming and people punching each other with wind.”Nancy admits she’s still holding out hope that George R. R. Martin will finish The Winds of Winter before we all turn into diamonds ourselves. (Spoiler: he won’t)Patrick goes full spreadsheet mode, lamenting the state of the streaming industry with the passion of a man whose free trial just ended. He breaks down subscriber counts like an actuary on a Red Bull bender, but we all know he’d rather be watching Law & Order: HVAC Unit Victims Division. Also, he somehow ends up defending Avatar 2, which should be a court-martial-level offense.While Scott complains about the YouTubes and Nerds, Brenda tries to time-travel back to when network television was still a thing. Any silence isn’t absence—it’s judgment marinated in a Kirkland Old Fashioned.Other highlights include:• A screaming goat button that raises more questions than it answers• A drive-by shade at Chris Pratt’s Mario voice• Nancy trying to schedule a séance with Millie Bobby Brown’s childhood• And all of them collectively forgetting how Shark Tank works for at least six minutesIn short, this episode is a deeply unqualified TED Talk on streaming, grief jewelry, and the structural integrity of goats-in-a-button.Stay tuned for part two!
