Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 6

They released it in two parts, so we’re talkin’ about it in two parts. Deal with it!

BoJack is in rehab, Diane is in Chicago, Mr Peanutbutter is in hot water of his own making and Princess Carolyn is really not doing so well juggling work and her new child. Plus Todd’s complicated family dynamic is at least revealed.

Is the part one/part two thing ever called for? Would this have been better as two longer seasons or one truncated one? Was it even time to end the show at all? Let’s find out!

The Superhero Pantheon Series Finale

Five years is a long time, but in many ways it’s felt like a blip.

Jerome and Brian reflect on the podcast, superhero movies, and even the ending lines that come at the end of each podcast. It’s end of a long journey but also the start of a new one.

Jerome & Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: GLOW (Season 3)

Cancelled Too Soon concludes with a show that was renewed for a final season that never was. What ended up being the last season of the show saw the GLOW television show transformed into the GLOW Vegas residency show.

Jerome and Kevin talk about the continued balancing act of a large cast, the uneven nature of the season, parallel age gapped relationship stories, what they believe is the best episode of the entire series, and once again give the cast their well-earned flowers. They then discuss the show’s untimely cancellation, what was to come in Season 4, and some postmortem comments from the cast and crew.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 5

Bojack has landed the lead role in WhatTimeIsItRightNow.Com’s prestige TV drama, Philbert, but it turns out a chaotic production and prescription pain pills aren’t good for a drug addict with an extensive history of Terrible Deeds.

Elsewhere, Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter respond to their break-up in very different ways, Princess Carolyn is desperately trying to adopt a child and keep her agency afloat, and Todd has created a delightful monstrosity.

The Superhero Pantheon: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (and The Holiday Special)

For the last five years, Jerome and Brian have been hooked on a feeling… that being reviewing and discussing a long list of superhero movies to determine the very best (and worst) for the Superhero Pantheon (or pile of shame).

This week, they discuss one last movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. While there will be a series finale and two more episodes of Pantheon Plus, this is a rather significant episode. There is even a ten minute preamble as Jerome and Brian discuss the holiday special.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 4

BoJack has a daughter?!? Ruh-roh! Unpacking some secret Horseman family history definitely won’t unleash new levels of trauma on our cast! Probably… Maybe…. Hmm….

Meanwhile Mr. Peanutbutter is running for Governor of California, Diane is struggling with her thoughts (and prayers), Princess Carolyn has some big family and career decisions to make, and Todd has some bold ideas for better business.

The Superhero Pantheon: Iron Man 3 (2023 Rewatch)

A movie that is already in the Superhero Pantheon, Iron Man 3 has been a debated film all across this website. It’s only fitting that Jerome and Brian finally review the movie, even though they lost the deadpool bet and put it into the Pantheon by way of gambling with fictional people’s lives.

There is not much that needs to be said about Tarantino. He has been one of the best doing it for almost my entire life.

Ranking the Peter Jackson Films

Still Need to Watch: Braindead, Meet the Feebles, Bad Taste

Peter Jackson is a real interesting case. He’s clearly brilliant on some level, but he also has missed big several times. He will always have a special place in my heart because of The Lord of the Rings films though if nothing else. Continue reading Ranking the Peter Jackson Films
