Show Club Podcast

It's time for more mystery and detecting as we discuss season 1 of 2012's Elementary. This is Rachael's favorite version of Holmes and Watson. Evelyn really enjoys it. And Kerri thinks it's perfectly fine. Still this is an overall recommendation from everyone and you should watch it if you haven't. We do love the fact that (spoilers) Holmes and Watson never cross the line into a romantic relationship. They're really just great as platonic besties, and it's good that it stays that way. Overall, the casting in this show is really well done. However, this show is one of the examples of, if you've watched too much TV, then you can figure out Who Done It just by who the guest star is for the week. But it's still fun! We appreciate how well they handled Sherlock's drug use and how prominent it continued to be. Most of the time in shows, it's a sort of background thing that comes up every now and then when the plot needs it. The drug use and addiction as portrayed in this show is something you don't really see very often. We also decide to get into a bit of deductive vs. inductive vs. abductive reasoning and which one Sherlock actually uses. Up next, we head back to the world of animation for season 1 of The Mighty Nein, available on Amazon.

It's time to visit the future as we explore the moral and ethical ramifications of the digital afterlife with 2020's Amazon Prime series, Upload. We discuss if we would upload, our feelings on the sex suits, and whether Nathan is being held hostage by Ingrid. Also, which scifi franchise has the best self-driving cars? Kevin Bigley (Luke) totally has BDE - Big DeLuise Energy. Nathan and Nora are just the cutest. We love them. Aleesha and Luke are also just amazing. Our next watch will be the K Drama Tomorrow.

We return to happier times as we discuss season 1 of The Good Place. The casting for this show is totally on point. The writing across all the seasons is excellent. Just as a heads up in case you haven't seen the entire series, we do discuss some plot points from later seasons. And if you haven't watched the whole thing, why not? Get on it! We discuss what would be in our Good and Bad Places. What hints would tell us that what we think is the Good Place is actually the Bad Place (chores and stupid body pain)? Is the points system fair? We do go off on some tangents though…. Sorry. The rest of the cast being told that the Good Place is actually the Bad Place: https://youtu.be/3Bhyin0HaLU?si=-qK0s4C-BfJZ4Nkj Next up, we take a hard left and watch season 1 of Daredevil from 2015 (the original Netflix series now available on Disney+).

We're kicking off 2025 (and season 2 of this podcast!) with Season 2 of the smash hit Squid Game. If we have any complaints, it's that this season ended on a cliffhanger. We think they did a great job keeping the emotional intensity in season 2 even though audience knows what's going to happen during the games. And, interestingly, one of the people we're following through the games is one of the soldiers. It seems like their side of things is just as messed up as the players. Rachael has an interesting theory that many of the people in the game were brought in by the Front Man to test Gi-hun's resolve and his belief that people are still good. There's his best friend, a mother and son, a pregnant woman and her (ex)boyfriend. And with the voting after EVERY GAME, it shows that these people are here by their choice. Kerri's theory is that the In-ho brought Gi-hun back and allowed him to live so that the Games can be brought down. Or maybe he just wants Gi-hun to take over. Evelyn thinks the VIPs aren't even involved this time and In-ho is fully funding this as his own experiment. What we want from season 3: -Flashbacks to In-ho's time in the game as a player. -How/why did In-ho come back as the Front Man? -What's going to happen with the people who stayed behind when Gi-hun and that group went off to take down the games? -What exactly does the boat captain know about the games? -What's the deal with that weird shaman lady? Coming in February, we'll be discussing the 2019 reboot Roswell, New Mexico. It is now streaming on Netflix.

This month we head to outer space with season 1 of The Orville. And if, for some reason, you're not a fan of this one then #blameitonthebag. As for us, it's a hit all around. Kerri had never seen it before but will continue watching the rest of the seasons. This show has a way of commenting on current social and political issues without feeling preachy. And the guest stars! So many amazing guest stars. There's also an interesting thing that since money doesn't exist at this point in the future, where is the incentive or what is the compensation like for people and doing their jobs? We also have some input on more vampire shows and other just excellent shows for possible consideration from a listener! Next up, we'll be watching all three seasons of the BBC Zoom dramedy Staged starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen. All episodes can be found on BritBox.

This week we're doing it LIVE! Commentary style as we watch the 1988 classic Made For TV Movie Dance Til Dawn. This one has everything and everyONE you could want from an 80s movie. It's Prom Night! There are new dates, old dates, surprise dates! Apologies for the feedback sounds. We were working through some technical issues. It's been cleaned up as much as possible. We hope it's not too annoying. You can find Dance Til Dawn here: https://youtu.be/OKQG87x8GmY?si=SkuvkLvFVecTZUGe. So, cue it up and watch along with us!! Next month, it's spooky season so we'll be watching season 1 of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire now available on Netflix and AMC+.

This month, we watched the 2022 K Drama Sh**ting Stars, which we're pretty sure is supposed to be Shooting Stars. But those asterisks are weird. The show itself is an interesting commentary on fan culture and celebrity fixation. And it's also super cute and adorable. Tae Song and his driver coming up with ways for him to have a meet-cute with Han Byeol was one of the best things ever. We do wish Reporter Jo Ki-Bbeum had told her boss off and left to start her own agency. We'll believe that happened once the show was over. It was a little frustrating how often a scene would end with someone saying they have something important to tell someone else and then we don't see that conversation actually happening until later in a flashback. Next month we will be watching season 1 of Fringe. It is available on Max and Freevee (via Amazon Prime).

La Femme Nikita is the 90est show ever and we love it so much. It still holds up. We are quite confused about what country Section One is supposed to be associated with given the reveal in season 3 of where they are physically located. (SPOILER: It's underground, below the Eiffel Tower.) Evelyn has ALL the things to say about Michael. Kerri and Rachael cannot fault her for any of it. The interactions between the elder statesmen in section - Operations, Madeline, and Walter - are really great to see in a show like this. (Are they in a throuple? Who knows?) How did Michael's wife warrant only one episode? That should have been a much longer story arc. Kerri and Evelyn have many thoughts on Recasting if they were to remake this today. What do you think? We do briefly discuss the CW remake from a few years ago and it just wasn't quite as good. Overall, we highly recommend that everyone watch this show. Streaming free on Tubi! Next month we will be watching Hannibal, Season 2. Now available on Amazon Prime.
