    Did Somebody Say Stake?
    Mar 14 2025

    Up this week is episode two of the gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows, and we're calling this one: “Did Somebody Say Stake?” In this episode, Daphne can’t escape the vampiric powers of Barnabas; Joe falls asleep on the job; Roger gets some; Professor Michael keeps something very special in his medicine bag; the Collinsport police department keeps giant crucifixes in their arsenal; and Julia has her eyes on a Nobel Prize in medicine.


    Also, George finally turns on his microphone; Meaghan won’t shut up about Joe; and we question exactly how one gets turned into a vampire on this show.

  • The Nanny Diaries

    The Nanny Diaries
    Mar 7 2025

    (Recorded on February 23, 2025) Episode One is here! And since these episodes have no titles, we’re creating our own! We’re calling this one, “The Nanny Diaries,” because Victoria Winters, the recently hired governess at the Collinwood estate in Collinsport, Maine is providing some much need narrative context. Victoria isn’t the only new person in town, cousin Barnabas from England has also arrived, coincidentally at the same time a bunch of bad stuff starts happening! Shockingly, the police aren’t very good at putting these two things together.


    Also, Meaghan and George discuss the relatively new OJ Simpson documentary on Netflix; George is blown away by a young Joseph Gordon Levitt performance; and Meaghan is tired of men’s daddy issues. (Original network air date January 13, 1991)

    We’re back for season three! This season we're headed to the Collinsport to discuss the 1991 revival of the gothic, now in primetime soap opera, Dark Shadows. Each week we’ll be breaking down the episodes, sharing what we thought were the campiest moments, and of course picking our winners and losers. Join us as we break into cousin Barnabas's coffin and answer the question: Should the Dark Shadow's revival had a second season?

We giving our favorite episodes and our least favorite episodes. And what would an episode of No Season Two be like if we didn’t give our big winners and losers of the season. Finally we’ll be giving our letter grade for the entire thing—will George have finally learned the American grading system? You’ll have to listen to find out!

  • Serenity — Part Two

    Serenity — Part Two
    Nov 1 2024
    Up this week, we have our second and final part recapping the Firefly movie, “Serenity.” Last week we left off with Mal finally meeting the Operative and Inara coming back aboard Serenity. The group (minus River) have a house meeting, where Jayne actually makes some pretty good points about how River is a liability and can take care of herself. Mal is turned all the way up in the brooding department after Jayne says he could captain this boat better than Mal. Jayne has a botched attempt at kidnapping River (she bests him) and she is loose on the ship for all of two seconds before Mal finds her surfing AOL to find Miranda—a black-rocked planet just this side of Reaver-land. Now this is where the story takes a bit of sharp turn to ‘huh?’ territory. We lose a well-loved character; we get a convoluted backstory about the origin of Reavers; we’re supposed to believe that the Alliance cares that River knew about this deep down; we lose ANOTHER well-loved character; we get some good fight scenes; and then it just sort of ends. Of course there’s things tying all of these together but it’s all very strange. Does it make for a bad movie over all? You’ll have to listen to hear our thoughts on that. Plus, Meaghan tries to manifest the comeback of America’s Next Top Model. George wonders where his nerd-brain went. And we ask ourselves if we’d watch “Serenity: The Sequel.”

  • Serenity - Part One

    Serenity - Part One
    Oct 25 2024

    This week we are digging into the first half (well first 55 minutes) of the Firefly movie, “Serenity.” We’ve got a new—in the words of George— big bad, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who really brings a whole new level to this universe. Simon is turned up to eleven and it makes us wonder where that energy was in the Firefly series. Mal is obviously sad that Inara left the ship and is taking it out on everyone else. Zoe is wondering what happened to the Mal that would never leave a man behind. Kaylee says something that made us go “what in the what??”. Jayne says something that makes us go, “of course he would say that”. Wash is there, being the supportive husband we all know and love. And River is out there kicking major butt. Now you may be thinking, aren’t George and Meaghan huge fans of Shepherd? Why wasn’t he mentioned? And to that I say, he shows up about 45 minutes into the movie and we found that to be very annoying! Why are they hiding one of the best characters?! Anyways…there are reavers, subliminal messages, and a set of British (did the monarchy make it to space?) twins who add a bit of flair to the movie. We’ll be handing out awards for biggest winners and losers in the first half as well as letter grades (and we’ll try not to take off too many points for lack of Shepherd).


    Also, Meaghan questions if there is a new TikTok challenge happening; George hopes for “Serenity” to turn into a rom-com; and we discuss why there are still batteries in the 26th century.

  • Objects in Space

    Objects in Space
    Oct 18 2024
    We did it - we made it the fourteenth and final (don’t worry, we’re not abandoning you just yet) episode of Firefly, “Objects in Space.” If you’re looking for a typical series finale where story lines are wrapped up in a nice little bow, this episode of television might disappoint you. If you’re living in an alternate reality where this is a season finale and they're going to bring back Firefly for a season two decades later, then this episode is really isn’t that bad. River walks through the ship listening in on various conversations between crew members. While eavesdropping she has moments where she hears and sees the crew saying things not heard by the other person, and everyone remains unaware of her presence. Simon implies he’d still be a doctor if it wasn’t for her; Shepherd says something that implies a not-so-religious past; Mal and Inara voice frustrations over their Sam and Diane dynamic. River overwhelmed by everyone's feelings, rushes down to the cargo bay and steps on a branch. When she picks it up—she's suddenly surrounded by orange leaves on the floor. A few seconds later we are thrust back into the real world and River is holding a gun while the rest of the crew surrounds her, yelling at her to put it down. After she runs back to her room, we see a small vessel tailing Serenity and a man (bounty hunter Jubel Early) inside looking at the wanted bulletin for the Tam siblings. Later the crew grapples with whether it’s safe to have River on the ship—River is listening through the floor and Early is listening through the hull of the ship. As the crew goes to bed, Early enters ship and starts taking the crew out one by one—first Mal (a little to easily if we’re being honest!), quickly locking some people in their quarters after; then Kaylee (which we have some thoughts on because ugh); he gets Shepherd with a kick to the head; and finally he comes across Simon who he uses as bait to try and lure River out to him. We don’t want to give too much away here, but the gist is River is no longer a person, she’s turned into Serenity. You’ll have to listen to find out how true that statement is—with River, anything is possible! Plus, George and Meaghan talk “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story; Meaghan’s loser takes George by surprise; and we discuss what a Firefly season two might have looked like.

  • Heart of Gold

    Heart of Gold
    Oct 11 2024

    This week we are rounding third and talking about episode thirteen of Firefly, “Heart of Gold,” and boy is it a weird one. We’re visiting yet another desert locale in space, but this one has a brothel covered in tin foil, run by former companion, Nandi; and a local land owner, Rance Burgess, who must have seen Road House at some point (J.C. Penney is coming here, because of me!). Rance shows up at the brothel looking for one of Nandi’s employees Petaline. Petaline is pregnant and Rance is determined to prove the baby is his. Nandi video calls Inara, asking for help (much like when Dalton called in Wade Garrett for back up when dealing with Brad Wesley). Inara volunteers the Serenity crew and since they have nothing else lined up, they agree. When they get to The Chicken Ranch, Jayne makes a beeline for the girls, Shepherd tries to make a sandwich, Kaylee asks Wash to tell her she’s pretty, and Simon (with River in tow) goes to examine Petaline. Nandi explains the situation to Mal, Zoe, and Inara—that Rance keeps the people in the town poor, so he can live out his Road House fantasy. Later, Mal and Inara meet Rance at a local theater (and if we weren’t already clear on how Rance views women, this part helps clarify: he hates them). Mal and Inara leave, and Mal realizing Rance is a monster tells Inara that everyone should pack up and leave this hellhole. Rance gets a call from Maury saying “YOU ARE THE FATHER.” Nandi can’t be convinced to leave and Mal in a moment of ‘stupid recognizes stupid’ agrees to stay and help fight. The main bullet points after this are: Zoe tells Wash it’s time to start trying for a baby; Mal sleeps with Nandi; Inara cries when she finds out; River doesn’t know where babies come from; and we meet a winner of the local Lacey Chabert look-alike contest. We end on a bit of a cliffhanger, which neither of us are sure will even be mentioned in the fourteenth and final episode.


    Plus, George and Meaghan workshop their Firefly spinoff about Shepherd Book; George regales us with the trials and tribulations of getting the best burger in NYC; and by the end of the episode, Meaghan can’t stop laughing.
