Episode Epiphanies

In this episode, Jessica makes Natasha watch Saving Hope, a Canadian medical drama where all the doctors are very bad at their jobs. We discuss Maggie's terrible bedside manner, Joel's insane surgery decision, and how we would never, ever, in a million years want to be doctors. Join us for yet another Canadian show and celebrate a hospital show without anyone mentioning insurance or bill payments once. Will Natasha be intrigued by the medical crimes of this show? Or will they say no to malpractice? You'll have to listen to find out.Email us at episodeepiphanies@gmail.com, tweet at us @epiphaniespod, and follow us on Insta @epiphaniespodIntro and outro music is Feelin Good by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

This week on Episode Epiphanies, Jessica makes Natasha watch The Other Two, an offbeat sitcom about two older siblings whose younger brother becomes wildly famous overnight. We talk satire, the dark underbelly of the music industry, and what it means to be "straight" to the people in this show. We also discuss when this show came out and how wild it is that it's such a direct reference to Justin Bieber even though it's 2019. Will Natasha be drawn in by the lure of fame? Or will they want to go home to Ohio? You'll have to listen to find out.(P.S. When I was editing this episode, a friend of mine, unprompted, told me they started watching this show. The Other Two is out there in the universe, y'all.)Email us at episodeepiphanies@gmail.com, and follow us on Insta @epiphaniespod Intro and outro music is Feelin Good by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

This episode, Jessica makes Natasha watch the one, the only, BBC's Sherlock. We talk about SuperWhoLock (of course), the video editing of this show, and the things about this show that are pulled from the original novels. But mostly we focus on this show's absolutely insane commitment to making every single person John & Sherlock meet ask if they are a couple. Is it queerbaiting if the show itself acknowledges the queerbaiting? (Idk, ask Riverdale.) Will Natasha fall for this floppy-haired Sherlock or will they let the case go unsolved?

In this very special bonus episode, we read out all of the review promises that were written out for Lenni.

In this episode, Jessica makes Natasha watch Daybreak, a Netflix apocalypse show that is scary-similar to The Last Kids on Earth. (We're talking the same zombie-survival town map, the same gathering our friends vibe, and the same monsters and zombies in one apocalypse theme.) Listen as we discuss Sam Dean the Supernatural-themed John Green protagonist, our flashback king Josh, and Angelica the bomb girl. Natasha comes up with some wild fanfic that I personally vote we force them to write, as it would be a very fun apocalypse story to read. And then I try to come up with any answers at all for our usual questions given that I remember extremely little about this show. Will Natasha survive the apocalypse? Or will she lose jock idol and be thrown to the zombies? You'll have to listen to find out.Follow Natasha at twitter.com/natashadamours Follow Jessica at twitter.com/jessicairowe Email us at episodeepiphanies@gmail.com, tweet at us @epiphaniespod, and follow us on Insta @epiphaniespod Intro and outro music is Feelin Good by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

(Have we used this title before? It feels like we've used this title before. It's a good title. We watch a lot of things for the lesbians.) In this episode, Jessica makes Natasha watch the iconic Netflix drama Orange is the New Black. We discuss the legacy of this show, how it was presented when it first came out, the many famous characters who do not appear in this episode, and more. Delve into our discussion of lesbians in the early 2000s and the dark mundanity of the American prison system. We're launching a new format in this episode with no full recap of the episode. So if you haven't seen the pilot of OITNB, watch it now! Will Natasha get caught up in the prison system? Or will they break free of this show's clutches? You'll have to listen to find out.

On this episode of Episode Epiphanies, Jessica makes Natasha watch HBO's Gossip Girl. We discuss how this show connects with the original, the debate around the immediate reveal of Gossip Girl, and the way that all the characters just kind of suck. But they suck in the way teenagers suck, you know? We also spend plenty of time discussing the show's core throuple - Max, Ake, and Aubrey - and the effort this pilot episode puts into making it clear that this is going to be A Thing. Will the throuple be enough to pull Natasha into this teen drama? Or will the threat of Gossip Girl scare them off? You'll have to listen to find out.

This month, Jessica makes Natasha watch 3rd Rock From the Sun, a questionable sitcom about aliens coming to Earth to fuck humans. Now, was that the actual premise of the show going in? Unknown. But it certainly is what the show is about. Listen to us debate whether or not this show knows it could be satire with just a smaaaaaaaaaaaaalllll little push, what the family dynamic here is supposed to be, and what in the world Harry's object is supposed to be. (Genuinely. What is this thing. We will post a picture. Go look at it and tell me.) Will Natasha fall in love with these raunchy little aliens? Or will they boot them off of the planet? You'll have to listen to find out.

This week, Jessica makes Natasha watch Ginny & Georgia, a teen drama that is also... a crime show? We discuss this show's fantastic use of flashbacks, the way Georgia and Ginny parallel each other, and the use of passion vs. power. Will Natasha exercise their power to say no to this show? Or will the passion pull them in? You'll have to listen to find out.

This week, Jessica makes Natasha watch Wings, a super nostalgic sitcom from the 90s and a Cheers spinoff! We discuss how the jokes in this show are dated but not so much that we wouldn't still hear them today, how darling little sitcoms like this are just here for the vibes, and the many, many references in this episode that went over our heads. Who are these people? What did they do? We may never know. Will Natasha like the vibes? Or will they take a flight away from this little airport town?

This week, Jessica makes Natasha watch One Tree Hill, a show that is ostensibly a Shakespeare soap opera about basketball. (How I wish that was a joke.) Join us as we discuss the epic highs and lows of high school basketball (yes, I know this is the wrong show), how much we hate Dan Scott (the years may pass, but my hatred for Dan does not), and the whole gamut of relationship drama in this show. Will Natasha get their head in the game? Or will the epic lows of high school basketball get them down? You'll have to listen to find out.

We're back with another review for you because Natasha watched all of Pretty Smart! If you're keeping score... good for you, because I'm not and that is conceivably the whole point of this show. Dive in with us as we "spoil" this show (there's not much to spoil, it is just a sitcom in the best of ways), reveal our opposing opinions on what makes an episode the best episode of a show, and basically plot out the next two to three seasons of this show for Netflix. That's right, Netflix, if you're reading this, we've got these seasons written and ready to go for you. Just send a cheque our way and the deal is done. You don't need to listen to the episode though. Just trust us. We did a good job. We definitely didn't make everyone in the show queer and throw away the whole over-arcing plot of this season in favour of our queer revival. We would never do such a thing, Netflix. We are good and trustworthy people who do not only watch shows and conduct hostile takeovers of them to make everyone queer. That would be insane. This is a calm little review episode that does none of those things. Cheque, please?

In this episode, Natasha forces Jessica to face her very worst fear by making her watch Centaurworld, a dystopian horror show hellbent on wreaking havoc on the mental health of all individuals who see it. I would like to start a formal petition to remove it from Netflix so that Durpleton the giraffe does not breach containment and come for me with a chainsaw in the middle of the night as he does in all my dreams. If you are a glutton for punishment, please listen to this whole episode to hear me have a caustic breakdown in real-time. If you are a good person and a pacifist... then I really don't know why you're listening to this show. Every single episode we do is psychological warfare and, quite frankly, Natasha has won. I am broken and my returning blow is just the desperate last grasp of a woman on the verge of death. If after this description you want me to write my normal send-off here, then I think you should take some reading comprehension classes. I think they would help.
