Beth — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:52:48 +0000

27% of Team Atreides reunites to talk about Misha Collins’ grand experiment, Gishwhes (aka Greatest Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen). WHAT THE WHAT is this all about you ask? One week. 150+ “items” to collect. Sleep becomes a distant memory as your creativity goes into hyperdrive. You become obsessed with things like Kale, hot glue, and sock monkeys. There are hugs. There is charity. There is brotherhood. And there can only be one winner.

Beth — Sat, 28 Dec 2013 20:34:43 +0000

After a bout of bronchitis, the podcast (and the host) are back to discuss the best, worst, and most WTF moments in 2013 with a roundtable of prior and new co-hosts! We cover everything from Hiddleston’s Loki Surprise at San Diego ComicCon, why Hannibal gave us phrases like “meat wings” and “throat cello,” how Bryan Cranston wins at life, and the crushing disappointment of Enders Game.

We are also pleased to announce the winner of our contest is Knight Errant and Champion of the show Kip Reed! Thank you for all your support of the show, Kip!

Episode 9 – Sleepy Hollow!

Nicole Beharie is clearly standing on a box in this picture.

What was my life like before Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie? I can’t even remember. I don’t want to remember. Crystal returns to talk about believable onscreen relationships, fish-out-of-water stories done well, and the most criminal underuse of James Frain to date.

Stay tuned for the announcement at the end of the show!
