Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 7

BoJack’s turned his life around and has finally found happiness and we’re sure that won’t immediately implode causing him to lose everything and everyone near and dear to him. No way!

We debate if ‘The View from Halfway Down’ deserves its litany of plaudits, discuss how well they ‘landed the plane’ and wonder what the show might have looked like if they’d gotten two full seasons as originally planned.

Plus a whole portion on the Community movie, obviously!

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!

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 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.

Jerome & Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: GLOW (Season 2)

Season 2 of GLOW came at an interesting time. As Jerome and Kevin discuss the season, they also discuss how the #MeToo movement happening in modern day was reflected in a show taking place in the 1980s.

They also talk about improvements from the first season and other things they wish could have been improved, a couple of new additions to the cast, what story elements could’ve been omitted, and why Jerome seems Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart in the two main characters.

Untitled BoJack Horseman Project: Episode 1

For years Ben & Matt’s podcasting White Whale has been BoJack Horseman and now it’s finally time to get stuck in as they introduce the show in general and break down Season One.

We meet our core cast, establish some regular segments, discuss how long it takes to get into the debut season and get into our favourite episode… which may be a surprise pick.

Jerome & Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: GLOW (Season 1)

It’s finally time for the Cancelled Too Soon series to come to an end. What better way to do so then for Jerome and Kevin to discuss the very topic that started their podcasting relationship – professional wrestling?

Today’s episode marks the first part of the Cancelled Too Soon finale, discussing Season 1 of Netflix’s GLOW. First, there’s talks of what the hosts knew about the actual GLOW wrestling promotion before watching the show and how women’s wrestling was viewed in the 1980s. Then they talk about the 2012 documentary about GLOW and how that birthed the Netflix series. Talks of the show itself centers mostly around the characters and how successful the show was at balancing the ensemble cast.

Sprinkled amongst the discussion are talks of bad wigs and costuming, wrestling venues and fans, and comparison to actual wrestlers.

Jerome & Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: American Vandal (Season 1)

Jerome and Kevin are back this month as they will be spending the rest of the year looking at a number of Netflix shows that were cancelled too soon.

This month is the first month of American Vandal. They will discuss who really drew the dicks and how much that mattered in the first place.

The Superhero Pantheon – Limited Edition: The Old Guard & True Believer: Rise and Fall of Stan Lee

Jerome and Brian discuss Netflix’s The Old Guard, one of their biggest titles released to date.
