Ep 3.5: Kill And Eat The Beatles (Head, 1968)

We're doing something different this episode! Breaking away from the Prisoner for just a little while and giving you Head(1968), a movie that was contemporaneous with the series and touches on the same themes of reinvention and rebellion, but couldn't have been more different in its presentation.

Ep.2 – Coachella in a Town Hall (Dance of the Dead)

Espionage! Intrigue! Mystery! We look at the second episode of The Prisoner, featuring a lot of deep words that end up meaning "Women, am I right?".

Ep.1 – Sixty Nine Shipping Moments (Arrival)

We are kicking off the podcast with a bang! Come along with us and discover just how much 1960s spies sucked at spying, how every set in the era resembled Star Trek, and how many tangents about surrealism and counterculture we can fit in an hour-and-change of podcast.

EPISODE 201: Viy

We've gotten off the March Night Shyamalan train for this year, and now we're taking a little vacation in Russia! This week, we had Helga (@hindsightee) on the show to talk about Viy! The USSR's first horror film presents us with a menagerie of fucked up guys, and we couldn't be happier about it.

Kyle X Why?

S2E7 – END THE BEACHWOOD BIAS / BOTTOM TEXT

Three cheers for Moms' Rights! This week we're joined by Helga, one of the two or three people on the planet who have seen every episode of Kyle XY, to discuss S02E07, "Free to Be You and Me"! It's allegedly an episode about gay rights, but is it really? I guess you'll have to ask one of the gay characters on this show what they think! Good luck! While you're looking for one, we'll just be sitting here clapping and cheering for Josh... but what else is new? Haha! Sam | Jordan | Helga Twitter | Patreon | Discord |…
