It’s been a while, but with news that one of our favorite shows from SYFY making an unexpected return for a second season we had to talk. SurrealEstate did manage to finish off its freshman season in style and give the audience a bit of closure. However, the potential for more was so evident. Thankfully, SYFY recognized the possibility for more and we’ll be back to watching Luke Roman and his team sometime in 2023. We have our fingers crossed that all of our favorite characters will be able to return.
Cort and Brad also spent time talking about the recent massacre of the CW’s lineup (RIP 4400). On the bright side, we still have one last season of Roswell, New Mexico starting on June 6th. We also spent time catching up on other things that we’ve been watching and new shows that will be coming to SYFY and other networks.

Zooey even shows her love for Susan by tossing in a well-timed Carrie reference when her co-worker hits the stage to give her acceptance speech.

Welcome back, Earpers!! What a treat it’s been to have these amazing characters back on our screens, but we are quickly closing in on the last new episode for this half of the season. Yes, my soul is howling right along with yours, but just know that our fave actors are already back to work filming the second half of the season. This week’s episode sees Wynonna still on the hunt for Peacemaker. Doc is thinking a lot about the past. Meanwhile, Nicole has been hijacked.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 4x05, “Holy War, Pt I”. How amazing did Nicole look in her black wedding gown and Wynonna’s dress was pretty fantastic as well. I need this aesthetic for the real deal wedding. What did you think? Were you suspicious that Nicole started the fire? Can Rachel save poor Billy?

Welcome back, Earpers!! There’s a new family in Purgatory and they’ve got quite the grudge against the Earp family and all their friends. The reveal of some of these family members explain much about Wynonna being framed and nearly executed for Nedley’s “death”. Meanwhile, Jeremy is back and there is a whole new crew working over at Black Badge.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 4x04, “Afraid”. Rachel has truly become a member of the Earp family. What do you think of her star-crossed romance with Billy? His family sucks, but he’s got some good qualities. What was up with Jeremy distancing himself from Wynonna and making her downplay what a major badass she happens to be? Watching Wynonna terrified is the worst. I can’t wait until she figures out doesn’t need Peacemaker to be that badass. Then of course she needs to get Peacemaker back.
What exactly does that ending mean for Nicole and Wayhaught? Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on the 4x04, “Afraid”. You can also send us an email at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com.

‘Wynonna Earp’ recap: Brad and Cort Talk Ep 4x02, “Friends in Low Places” by Pure Fandom
Sept 29, 2018...the last time we got to see a new episode from our favorite storytellers for reasons. The long wait has ended and Wynonna Earp rides again. Welcome back, Earpers. We have missed these smooth talking badasses.
Things pick up mostly where we left our faves. Waves is locked away in the Garden with Doc rushing in to help. Wynonna’s trying to figure out a way to save her baby sis and baby daddy. She’s feeling a bit at a loss without Peacemaker.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss "On the Road Again". How far Wynonna and Nicole have come in their relationship. After this is all over, we absolutely need these girls to take another road trip. Which of these fine characters did you find yourself the most happiest to see back on your screen again? What’s the deal with Nicole falling through that hole and then ending up naked in the Garden? Is she dead???
This show always excels with the snappy one-liners and pop culture references. Who had your favorite line of the night? Where in the world did Jeremy end up after everyone was snatched out of the homestead? Damn we’re so happy this show is back. Please never leave us again. Not at least for another 5...10 years.

And once more with feeling. Welcome back, my fellow Fillorians! It’s that dreaded time to say farewell to our favorite magicians. We’re sad to see them go, but damn did they stick the landing. Talk about a satisfying finale with the potential for more adventures to be had.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down the series finale. Fillory has been reborn but as something new. The best of us all. Well, Fen’s perceptions of the best of all of us. Gotta love her. What did you think of that unexpected twist that gave us the return of the Beast? Which character lost hit you the hardest? The series ended with Eliot separated from many of his friends, but we also so the beginning of something new for him and Charlton.
If the show had been renewed for another season, how do you think Julia and the others would have reunited with their lost friends? What other amenities do you think Fen dreamed up for the new Fillory? The fields growing bacon and optimally placed pizza ovens were definite wins. Did you predict that Julia would honor her bestie by naming her newborn daughter after Q? How adorable is the nickname HQ? With that name this kid needs a spin-off. Well...we need that spinoff, too.

The Magicians, Ep 5x08, “Garden Variety Homicide” aired on Feb 26, 2020
Welcome back, my fellow Fillorians! The children of Fillory are being taken and it seems that Eliot’s new boo may be at the heart of the problem. Last week, the fairies revealed that it was Seb bringing the Takers forth. There seems to be some larger mystery behind this dark King. Is he our next big bad or woefully misunderstood?
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down the episode. The surprises just keep coming for Julia and just when things got complicated between her and Penny. Congrats to Stella Maeve and her hubby. Wondered if they would write the pregnancy into the show or play hide-and-seek with the actress’ baby bump. Margo and El swap places for the day and have some difficult conversations with Seb and Josh. What did you think of the duo’s Freaky Friday routine? Trouble found Alice again. What do you think of botanist Hamish? Seems like an interesting guy. Are you missing Kady as much as we are? Where’s our girl?! What happens now that’s Julia and Margeliot failed to take out the Dark King (well they don’t know that part yet, but it was totally too soon for him to go anyway)?

Welcome back, my fellow Fillorians! How flipping awesome was Golem!Quentin? Granted it’s not quite the way most of us want to see the character again, but it was a pretty cool twist. In Fillory, Eliot and Margo are doing their level-base to not pull a Barry Allen and screw up time.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down the episode. Julia gets a surprise when she seeks out Alice for help. Why did you think of Julia and Alice’s interactions with “baby” Q? How about the many twists and turns as Kady and her new friend tried to figure out their spotty memories? What’s the deal with that signal Penny can’t seem to get out of his head? What did you think of think of Eliot and Margo’s timey-wimey meddling?

Welcome back, Helsingers! Phew how did this season manage to fly by so quickly? Here we are at the season finale and on the cusp of the final chapter of this story. If you haven’t already heard the great news that dropped earlier this week, the show was renewed for a fifth season. Sad news? It will the the final season. While it will be sad to say goodbye, we are grateful that we’ll have a chance for a proper ending for these characters we’ve grown to love. This is especially important given how the S4 finale left us.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort this week's all-new episode. As Bathory predicted, the Dark One has been freed and the latter stepped right into the President’s shoes. What did you think of the Dark One’s maneuvering? Do you believe that she was telling Violet and Jack the truth about influencing their father from the Dark Realm? Where in the world is Vanessa? What was up with that orange dust that seemed to have such drastic effects on Julius and Axel? What’s the deal with the Sunshine Unit?

Welcome back, Helsingers! Battlestar Galactiica alum, Aaron Douglas appeared this week as Colonel Nicholson. He’s there attempting to track down Julius, Violet, Jack and Ivory after they made their televised debut in the previous episode. Of course, the Colonel also seems to have information on Axel’s background and his last official mission. Protecting a certain sleeping Van Helsing.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort this week's all-new episode. Violet and Jack go their separate ways in their respective missions. Jack wants to find their father, while Vi is focused on finding those missing pages. What did you think of Violet’s confrontation with the only father she’s ever known? The Dark One is down a Bride after Jack and Ivory infiltrate the Sisterhood in a vulnerable moment for Michaela. The Sisterhood is now #TeamVH. Who saw that coming?!! Not us. Bathory appears far too happy about Willem/Hanson going missing. What is she up to now? How cool was it watching Axel and the Colonel’s interplay? Here’s hoping Colonel Nicholas sticks around for a bit. We need to know more about what’s happening with the world. Two more episodes to go and then the season is done! We’re not ready.

Welcome back, Helsingers! We are back to talk about THAT huge death from this week’s episode and other interesting developments. If you have not seen Ep 4x10, “Together Forever”, please know that this review will contain some major spoilers.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort tonight’s all new episode. Our jaws are still on the floor over here. The episode truly did Thunderdome justice. It seems like things came full circle for Julius and Scab. The battle we’ve been waiting for finally went down and boy that ending was intense. Axel goes looking for Vanessa and instead finds one of her daughters. Don’t you just love how use to Axel has gotten to rolling with the many tangles and twists from the Van Helsing family tree? Ivory’s human? Will she join Julius and the others to fight Bathory and the Sisterhood? Or does her loyalty know no bounds? Also, Madame President? Some semblance of the old world has survived and they have proof of the power of the Van Helsing line. What happens next? We’re getting close to the season’s end.
Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on the episode. You can also send us an email at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com. This week's episode, "Together Forever" was written by Matt Venables and Jeremy Smith. Badass direction came from Alexandra LaRouch.

In their "Helmet's Off" section, they dive into "baby Yoda", and what his/her role could play moving forward.
Welcome back, Helsingers! This week we finally got our first glimpse of Tricia Helfer’s Dark One and she did not disappoint. Vanessa connects further with Violet and Jack. She initially wonders if they had been experimented on like she was in the past. But a family reunion with Abraham Van Helsing answers all questions about the girls’ bloodline. The truth is out. They are the daughters of Vanessa Van Helsing and our heroine immediately goes into “Mama Bear”-mode.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 4x07, "Metamorphosis". What did you think of Helfer’s Dark One? She’s definitely intimidating and how about that crazy chemistry between her and Vanessa? Were you fooled for a second into thinking that Vanessa had fallen under the Dark One’s spell? Even when their relationship isn’t in the best place, how awesome are Doc and Julius’ interactions? Sam met his full potential and ended up scarified to help Bathory release the Dark One. Were you shocked to see Sam’s story reach its end? Is this the end for Sam? What happens now that Vanessa and the Dark One are locked away together? So many revelations this episode and yet we still have a thousand and one questions. Well-played, show!

Welcome back, Helsingers! Axel and Phil are on the hunt for Max and his hostages, Jennifer and Owen. Max likely wishes that he hadn’t taken one or both of them by episodes end. Sure he wanted to use them to help pay the “toll”. Real gross practice, Max.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 4x06, "Miles and Miles”. What is up with little Owen? Do all kids born during the Vampire Apocalypse born with that same bloodlust and survival skills? Jennifer seemed more wary of what Owen might do than Max. How gross was that whole bleeder set up? Do you think this will be the last we see of Phil and his family? A little happily ever after in a desolate world? What name will Axel come up for his new wheels? What did you think of that reveal about Max’s origins and his ability to heal? Is this bad warden gone for good?
Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on the episode. You can also send us an email at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com. This week's episode, "Miles and Miles" was written by Jackie May. The episode was expertly directed by Kimani Ray Smith.
Welcome back, Helsingers! Vanessa is out there living her best life and using her "light" to convert as many vampires as she can. Axel finally comes face-t0-face with his former friend and he still blames her for Scarlett's death. Though in the end, Axel and Vanessa make their peace. It's very much apparent that they are both still mourning Scarlett's loss.
Welcome back, Helsingers! There’s a new warden in town and he’s played expertly by The 100’s Richard Harmon. Initially, it isn’t clear that Harmon’s Max just seems like a cool, kinda twisted dude living his best post-apocalyptic life. He meets up with Axel early on the episode and poor Axel is clearly still going through it after losing Scarlett. Phil has the long-awaited reunion with his wife, Jennifer and it goes as expected.
Welcome back, Helsingers! This week, Vanessa encounters a new group of survivors and a few old friends. She imparts some truly vital knowledge about how to take out daywalkers and enjoys some much-needed karaoke time. The group is hopeful about having Vanessa stick around, but she’s got things to do. Elsewhere, Julius and Doc are making the best of their enforced presence at Fort Collins. Julius shows Violet (Keeya King) what it really means to fight a vampire. She’s cocky and fearless, but girl has some major skills. Gotta wonder how much of that is tangled into her seeming connection to the Van Helsing bloodline.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 4x02, "Dark Ties". Even when their relationship isn’t in the best place, how awesome are Doc and Julius’ interactions? Also, major points to Doc for using her leverage to find out where Phil and Jolene ended up. How about that reveal about Violet at the end. She healed that vampire in the way that we’ve seen Vanessa do in the past. She was bitten and didn’t turn!!! What the what? Could Vanessa have another sister? Vanessa talked about being an experiment last week, is that what happened to Violet? Also, where are you with Tabby? Did you get Interview with a Vampire vibes like Brad?
Will the little Tabby become another Claudia? An old soul trapped in a young body for a lifetime and bloodthirsty? Does Jolene have some competition for Doc’s affections? Also, how awesome is this show for addressing little tidbits like Monica cooking up a receipt for gas and brews? Most shows just mysteriously have generators with never-ending supplies of gas. Vanessa spent a lot of time bonding with young Jac during the episode. Were you expecting Jac to join Vanessa on her travels? And what was the deal with her handing over Scarlett’s katana?

Welcome back, Helsingers!! Our show has finally returned. When last we peeked into the life and wild times of Vanessa Van Helsing things weren't going so well. Scarlett had sacrificed herself and Sam killed the thing he loved so that he could embrace his own dark destiny. RIP Mohamad. We're still not okay. This week's premiere picks up immediately where we left off with Sam and his new look. The new Elder wants to commemorate the occasion by killing off the last of the Van Helsing women. Vanessa and her newly revived ancestor, Lily.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 4x01, "Dark Destiny". Lily definitely felt out of place in this new world. Especially when she discovered Vanessa's secret superpower. Were you bummed that Lily refused Vanessa's offer to save her life? What did you think of Julius and Scab's long-awaited showdown? Julius was more than a little disrespectful to the Sisterhood's latest initiate. How far our Doc has come? Once upon a time, she left her good friend behind to face certain death because she was too afraid to act. What do you think of Neal McDonough's character, Hansen? Is he a bad guy or kinda misunderstood? The actor has played some straight-up villains before and it will be interesting to see him in this new setting? What did you think of Julius' new charge? The meeting was brief, but she certainly made an interesting first impression.
Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on the episode. You can also send us an email at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com. This week's episode, "Dark Destiny" was written by new showrunner, Jonathan Lloyd Walker and David Winning served as the director.
Welcome back, Kandorians. Now that was definitely a penultimate episode. Things look dire for Seg and company as General Zod unleashes his new secret weapon, Doomsday. By episode’s end the resistance loses a very valuable player. RIP Kem. It’s a bad day all-around for the resistance as they’re forced to evacuate Wegthor entirely. Meanwhile, Lyta’s sudden “resurrection” causes confusion for two Sagittari.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down Ep 2x09 "Blood Moon". That title and the fact that this was the last episode before the season finale left little doubt that could be losing yet another fan favorite. The better question was “who” we could be losing. Val? Nyssa? Adam? These seemed to be the characters under the most dire threat. Then it became more and more evident that Kem would go out like the badass he has always been. What did you think of his arc this season and his sacrifice? The women on this show continue to shine and kick all kinds of ass. Nyssa was amazing and left me worried we’d lose her. Also, how about our favorite Primus reminding those Sagittari what a true leader she has always been?

Welcome back, Kandorians. Is this real life? Is Lyta Zod truly gone? It would seem so. The show wasted no time in putting us out of our collective misery after last week's cliffhanger. We get a glimpse of Lyta's lifeless body at the top of the episode before she's covered up. How in the world was that only an hour? So much happened!Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down Ep 2x06 "In Zod We Trust". Seg and Jayna spend much of the episode grieving for their loved one. Dev is horrified to find out the truth about the change in Lyta's personality. Seg doesn't have time to fully indulge in his grief. He needs to help Nyssa rescue their son and there's still the matter of Brainiac taking up residence in his head. Can Seg continue to utilize Brainiac's skills without giving over control? How awesome was Val's speech? Definitely on par with the rousing "Independence Day" and "Braveheart" speechifying, amirite? What exactly is Dru-Zod up to? Well, besides the whole plan to dominate the entire universe.Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on Ep 2×06 “In Zod We Trust”. You can also email us at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com
Welcome back, Kandorians. Seg and Adam are back on Krypton, but they don't remain together for long. Seg believes that he can reason with Dru-Zod. Plus he was off-planet for quite some time, so it only makes sense that reconnecting with Lyta is at the top of his list. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down Ep 2x04, "Danger Close". Like Dev, we couldn't help but notice the drastic change that has come over Lyta this season. It doesn't take Seg very long to figure out that things aren't quite right. There are gaps in her memory and she's acting way out of character. Seg takes action and confirms the truth. Dru-Zod has been reprogramming Lyta to go along with his plan to stamp out the resistance and remake the galaxy in his image. He wants to be a god and sees no reason why either of his parents should get in his way. Things didn't look so good for Seg when they managed to get him in that chair. Thankfully (?) his dark passenger helped throw off the attempted re-programming. Did you suspect that Seg hadn't quite gotten rid of Brainiac? Will Jayna or Seg be able to reverse the damage done to Lyta? What happens now that Lyta is on Wegthor and facing off with the resistance? Lobo has to make an appearance again soon, right?Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on Ep 2×04 “Danger Close”. You can also email us at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com
Welcome back, Kandorians. This week, Krypton gives us a crash course on our favorite new “main man”, Lobo (Emmett J. Scanlan). Seg and Adam met the bounty hunter very briefly at the end of last week’s premiere when he knocked the duo out. Lobo’s…intense and it’s clear to see exactly why SYFY is already developing a series around this character. Brainiac isn’t quite as dead as Seg believed. Nyssa must help Dru-Zod if she wants her son back. Will she see it through?Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down Ep 2×02, “Ghost in the Fire”. Jayna Zod lives! Of course, we knew they couldn’t kill off this badass lady for real. What did you think of her journey in this episode and her companion? Seg and Brainiac make for an interesting mix. There’s no way Seg can go home until he can take care of his unwelcome passenger. Are we set to see Seg and Adam exploring other worlds until they can figure out their Brainiac problem? Were you surprised to see Dev and Jayna meet up at the end of the episode? Is Lyta simply dealing with her grief and guilt in some truly dark ways or is she on board with Dru-Zod’s plans for a new legacy? Was Seg kinda extra hot with those dark eyes at the end of the episode? Just me. Okay.Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on Ep 2×02 “Ghost in the Fire”. You can also email us at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com
Welcome back, Kandorians. Krypton has finally returned after leaving us on that wild cliffhanger from the season one finale. Tonight's premiere, "Light-Years From Home" drops us into a much-changed Kandor. General Dru-Zod has been busy in the months since Seg trapped himself and Brainiac in the Phantom Zone. Lyta has fallen in line with her son. Oh, how this character has changed from where she first started out last season. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down Ep 2x01, "Light-Years From Home". First, were you as pumped as Brad to see our new favorite character, Lobo? We recorded before today, but how awesome is the news that Syfy is developing a Lobo-centric Krypton spin-off? Besides, meeting the badass bounty hunter, this episode puts Seg through it. Those Phantom Zone visions are no joke. Then he ends up on a road trip with the most unlikely of partners. How cool was it to see him reunited with Adam? Meanwhile, Seg's grandfather, Val-El is back in the flesh and helping Jax-Ur lead the resistance? Do they have what it takes to succeed against Dru-Zod and Lyta? Is Lyta somehow playing the long game and acting as some kind of double agent for the resistance? Or has Seg's love gone over to the dark side?Give us a listen and then be sure to drop a comment or in our Facebook group with your thoughts on Ep 2x01 “Light-Years From Home".

Welcome back, Fillorians! It's finale time and boy did our Magicians take us on one helluva final ride until the show returns next year. There's so much to unpack in this finale. Which explains why we couldn't shut up about it.Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week’s new episode, "No Better To Be Safe Than Sorry".

What goes into creating a TV show? Does a showrunner’s personal life trickle into the feels you get every Tuesday night? Why is your favorite character’s drama so relatable, so real? These are the questions we sought answers to from Roswell, New Mexico boss, Carina MacKenzie.
Your favorite alien-podcast hosts flew down to Austin, TX on the heels of SXSW for an exclusive Roswell, New Mexico screening, hosted by ATX Television Festival and Warner Bros. Before the screening and fireside chat with Carina, Meg and I met with her in her hotel room for an intimate conversation about the personal pain, love, and ultimate “light” that created this already-beloved series.
More in this podcast:
-Carina's insight into how Liz looks at Isobel: Is there forgiveness or redemption in the future? -Why she loves Michael Trevino's character, Kyle Valenti, so much: "I think we should allow people to change, apologize for what they’ve done, move forward, and not always carry the burden of mistakes they've made in the past." -The theme of "space". This doesn't just pertain to the obvious. Carina shares why giving space to those we care about is just as much an act of love as shouting your devotion from the rooftops. -Malex, Malex, Malex. Did we mention, Malex? "These guys are working towards something better than themselves and this old town that has this ugly history of intolerance and abuse. Stepping into the light is the story that we’re telling [for Alex and Michael]." -Why music plays such an important role on the show. -Advice for women, creators and fans alike: Why you should never, ever apologize for occupying your space. Own your own light!

We wanted to make this one something special and decided to take it back to one of our all-time fave shows, Battlestar Galactica.

The Cylons returned to the Colonies responsible for their creation after many years of peace. The BSG series picks up where the miniseries left off. With our band of military and civilian survivors on the run after the Cylons decimated all 12 Colonies.
If you've never seen the show before, it's currently available via Hulu and we absolutely recommend watching. Also, we did not know this at the time of recording, but one of the series' stars, Tricia Helfer is also re-visiting the show with her podcast partner, Marc Bernardin. We're hyped to give them a listen as they have other actors from the show returning to talk about the episodes. Make sure you check them out when you get a chance (Battlestar Galacticast).

Hit play and listen in as Martini discusses the challenges he faced in putting this project together and what inspired him to tell this harrowing story.

The film officially debuts in theaters and VOD on January 11th and via Blu-ray/DVD on February 19th. A portion of the film's proceeds will be donated to three charities (Higher Ground, Warriors Heart, and the Gary Sinise Foundation) that support veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), PTSD, and veteran homelessness.

Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down some of their personal faves when it comes to music, movies, and more. This year felt truly neverending, but we were certainly entertained. Sure there were some duds that came down the line and projects that didn't quite measure up to what we hoped. Despite the disappointments, there were a greater number of projects that kept us in the theaters or bingeing away hours at a time when possible. There were so many artists on the screen or playing that beat just right. Please be aware that this list represents our personal faves.

Welcome back, Helsingers. We wondered all season about Vanessa's mission to destroy the elders. Where would her journey take her? Would she give in to the growing darkness inside? The show answered a lot of our questions and gave us more to ponder during our long wait until Season Four.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x13, "Birth Ritual". Becoming Elder mean sacrifices were to be made for Sam and Vanessa. It appears that we've lost Scarlett and Mohamad. Do you think there's a chance they can come back? We'll have to wait for our showdown between Scab and Julius. Who do you think will win the day once it happens next season? How will Elder Sam change the entire hierarchy system of the Sisterhood and other vampires? No change? Will Ivory have a new enemy in Sam and frenemy in Vanessa? What will it mean to have Lily Van Helsing back in action? So many questions. What did you think of the season three finale?

What did you think of Jolene and Phil's misadventures during their trip to Loveland? What did you think of Simon (Jeff Kober) and is this the last we've seen of him?

Vanessa, trapped in an abandoned slaughterhouse, wrestles between the light and dark sides of her own self before she can move forward on her path to find the Final Elder.
The Yogurt Shop murders rocked Austin, TX in 1991 when four teenage girls were found murdered in a burning building. The hunt for the killers went on for years until four men were questioned, leading to two of them being arrested and convicted. Both men confessed, but that in itself is controversial. However, this didn't offer finite closure, because a decade later(thanks to DNA testing and a legal loophole), both imprisoned men were released. Even today, the tips still pour in about these horrific murders and the theories surrounding the case have never stopped swirling.
Welcome back, Helsingers. The Van Helsing sisters are on the hunt again. This time they're down an Axel. Our badass ladies follow the clues and an interesting map from their mother. They soon find another Elder, but he's nothing like they expected.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x08, "Crooked Steps". What did you think of Michael Eklund's turn as Jacob Van Helsing? Will this truly be the last that we see of his character? Vanessa's on a pretty dark path, can Scarlett track her down before it's too late?

This week, we're tackling the super-secret society of Bohemian Grove. Set amongst the Redwoods every summer, some of the world's wealthiest and most influential men gather for two weeks of carefree partying and decades-old rituals. But thanks to its secretive nature, the society had been riddled with conspiracy theories linking them to murder, the occult, prostitution, and illegal logging (just to name a few things). Notable political members of the club have been the Bush's, Ronald Reagan, Nixon, and Kissinger.
Welcome back, Helsingers. We don't get an update on the aftermath of Phil's swan dive. We do check back in with some of our faves in this week's all-new ep, "Hunted Down".

Elsewhere, Scab undergoes his own...evolution as he joins the Sisterhood officially.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x07, "Hunted Down". Axel was not happy with his new traveling partners in this week's episode.

Was it the Oracle, a hallucination, or something else? Sam has been tasked with killing what he loves the most. Do you think he'll go through with it? How badass was Ivory in this week's episode?!?

Welcome back, Helsingers. This week's episode does a lot of work filling in the rest of Sam's backstory and how he became our favorite psychopathic vampire. This episode serves up flashback aplenty exploring Sam's time at that juvenile detention facility that we saw him hunting at last season. We also see the return of one of his victims, Felix. Poor, poor Felix. The kid was never quite right after his encounter with the vampire, but Sam felt the partner that fit him just right for his mission from the Oracle.
Hit Play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Ep 3x04, "Rusty Cage". Ivory and Scab have gone next level now that they're daywalkers and can heal from their injuries.

This week, we're digging into a lesser-known serial killer named Israel Keyes. You may have never heard of him, but he was an evil monster, through and through. Growing up in eastern Washington, Israel grew up living next to murderer Chevie Kehoe and attending churches known for anti-semitic views.
As an adult, he moved to Alaska and started living a true double life. He spent years meticulously planning trips to kill people and commit bank robberies all across the country. No one who knew him would have expected it, but he took great care to cover his tracks. He even went as far as to bury murder kits with weapons, trash bags, Draino, and more in different states in preparation for future kills.
Welcome back, Helsingers. If there were any doubts, badassery is clearly in the Van Helsing genes. This week's episode takes us back to the past. Like wayyyyy back.

Scarlett's worried about her sister after glimpsing her red, glowing eyes and after Vanessa confesses her new craving for blood.

Brian Shaffer was a 27-year-old Ohio State University student when he disappeared into thin air after a night of partying in 2006. His body and no evidence were ever found, and video footage from Columbus' Ugly Tuna Saloona seems to prove that Brian never actually left the bar he entered that night. Was Brian murdered, or could he have snuck out and left the country to start a new life? The theories surrounding this case are abundant.

He was abducted from a Hollywood, Florida mall in July of 1981 while shopping with his mother.

Could Dahmer have been the real murderer, and could even wilder theories about Adam Walsh be true?

He does exactly that, despite his promise not to Emily that he wouldn't retaliate and that he'd keep her in the loop. Oops.

Thanks for coming back and tuning in. Before we spend a full-length episode diving into Brad’s wild theory about Jeffrey Dahmer (which is coming soon), we thought we’d do a lead-up chat and talk about Dahmer before we really tackle the deeper stuff. Most people already know all the basics about Jeffrey Dahmer, so we wanted to take things a step further and dissect some lesser-known facts about the prolific serial killer. Here are 10 of them that are not as commonly discussed.

We have been anxiously awaiting this series since the pilot was officially picked up last year and tonight's series premiere did not disappoint. Newly transplanted small-town Sheriff, Jude Ellis (Steve Zahn) moved to quiet Port Canaan where the only criminal element appeared to be a single armed robber. His deputy hadn't even seen a dead body before. Then they arrived. Four hundred bodies wash ashore at one of the local beaches and among them, there are about 47 survivors. Crashed plane or wrecked ship? Nope, our survivors are refugees from that future to come that is rife with war and a dwindling human population. What's the problem? Robots? Zombies? Nah.

Hit play and then drop us a comment below or send us an email at bradandcorttalk@gmail.com to let us know if you have your own theory about the refugees?

Welcome back Fillorians! Our favorite magicians were back this week with a cool new tale (actually six!!) and they brought some pretty amazing news with this new episode. In case you hadn't already heard, our show has been renewed for SEASON FOUR!! We're beyond pumped over the news. Plus, we got this amazing episode. We finally get some major backstory on Harriet and her connection to the library. Talk about amazing and unexpected. This show always strives to take things to the next level. They did not disappoint with this wild heist. The writing was on point and just the structure and the way everything was shot. Fen was hilarious.

Welcome back to Butcher's Block, neighbors. This week, we've officially fallen down the rabbit and things got even more twister and bloodier. Zoe definitely bit off more than she can chew with her decision to join the Peaches for dinner (sorry, couldn't resist). Alice charges off to rescue her big sister, but in the end, it seems like Alice might be the one in need of a rescue. Elsewhere, Luke and Louise's encounter with Robert Peach takes quite a few unexpected turns.

Welcome back to Butcher's Block, neighbor. We're another episode deeper into this tale and things have definitely taken a delicious turn for the weird. Zoe's changing, but who or what is she becoming. We know that her appetite has expanded. Alice tries to help her sister but get sucked deeper into whatever heinous plan the strange Peach brood have planned for the two girls. Luke is no longer skeptical, but he has another crazy encounter with Robert Peach. What exactly does his father know about the Peach family and the darkness in Butcher's Block?
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort delve into the neighborhood’s mysterious goings-on. What did you think of tonight’s episode, "All You Ghost Mice"?

Welcome back Fillorians! Did you hear the news? Our Magicians are set to go a-heisting soon. It'll be librarian against magician and should be all kinds of epic. Eliot and Margo's negotiations with the Fae Queen takes a few wild turns. Fen handles some shocking news surprisingly well. Quentin and Poppy find they have quite a few things in common. While Alice's magical transplant didn't go quite as expected.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Poached Eggs". What did you think of this week's episode?

Welcome back, neighbor. This week Alice has quite a few troubles weighing heavily on her mind. Thankfully, the Peaches are around to help take her mind off things. Wrong? Sorry! That scene and the sounds. Whoever handled the editing and sound for this episode deserves ALL the awards. We're only two episodes in and things got dark. Like fast. Zoe may be cured, but was the price worth it? The season will tell the story. What happens now to Alice? Will she too start having dark cravings and Luke has seen the stairs? He knows that something crazy is going on in his town. What will his next move be?

Welcome back Fillorians! How badass is our High Queen?! We've about had it here with the Fairy Queen and Margo's jailbait hubby, but our girl continues to prevail. Yes, she will survive! Sorry, that song is absolutely stuck in our heads after this episode and we're not mad. Tonight's new episode gave Penny a chance to step back into the narrative. The afterlife has definitely not been treating our favorite traveler very well. His friends can only see him when they think to touch that key. Thankfully, Penny is nearby when Julia and Alice attempt that magic transfer, and he saves the two from blowing themselves up. Also, Felicia Day's Poppy has officially arrived bishes and she's not to be trusted. Margo's sex talk should set the standard, no?
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode. There may be a lot of Felicia Day gushing and a rendition or two of "I Will Survive".

Welcome to the neighborhood. Tonight kicked off an all-new creepypasta tale for Syfy's anthology series, Channel Zero. Old meat packing factories, mysterious disappearances, and those random stairs in the middle of the forest are quite the start for some creepy goodness.

Welcome back to Fillory! Another new episode, another win in our Magicians' quest for those seven keys. Eliot and Quentin's search for this key came at a hefty cost. A lifetime with the duo spending every single day attempting to figure out a seemingly impossible puzzle. While Q and Eliot were living out their days like an old married couple, Margo was actually getting hitched. Our High Queen was all too briefly a blushing bride. That didn't last very long though (RIP Your Royal Hotness). Kady gets some unexpected news and Julia gets a visit from a very familiar face.
The quest for magic's return continues. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down the episode. What did you think of tonight's all-new episode? Be sure to drop a comment below or in our Facebook group.
Welcome back, Fillorians! Penny's afterlife is definitely not what he expected. None of his friends shed a single tear over his demise. His soul didn't end up in the underworld as per his contract with the librarians and his friends can't see or hear him. The episode does a good job of catching up astral-Penny on all things he's been missing so far this season. Also, we're introduced to a traveler from the 1920s.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's episode. Poor Kady doesn't take Penny's loss so well and she ends up overdosing. Jules is there with the save thanks to an assist from whatever being that's been trying to give her a nudge lately. Eliot and his family are back this week and on the run from cannibals. Another wild episode for sure. Be sure to drop a comment below or in our Facebook group with your favorite moments from the ep 3x04, "Be the Penny"
Welcome back, Fillorians! This week we go on a most unexpected journey with High King Eliot and family. He's supposedly off gathering much-needed taxes from the outer islands. What he's really up to is, of course, filling those blank pages of Quentin's new favorite story. Our badass Queen Margo is sidelined, but she sends her bestie off with some great advice. Or actually, it was more of a directive. Basically, she wants to him forsake heroic doings if it comes down to the mission or his life. We LOVE this relationship. Earthside, Quentin and the other Magicians are on the hunt for Mykofsky's batteries. They're hoping that the batteries can offer enough power to activate Umber's clock/portal to Fillory. Kady doesn't care about getting back to Fillory, though. She needs the batteries for a spot of dark magic to help her sweetie, Penny.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode. What did you think of the unexpected return of Eliot and Fen's two-month-old baby? She's definitely big for her age. Or is the Fairy Queen playing some major mind games with our favorite royals? It wouldn't be the first time. Alice's new alarm system works as advertised and it's quite bloody. Maybe, she should've tried a bigger cat. Like a mountain lion or something. Poor kitty. How relieved were you that Quentin saved Professor Lipson. She could've done soooo much better than Mayakofsky, no? Hit play and then be sure to drop a comment to let us know what you thought of the episode.
Welcome back, Fillorians! This week a prodigal daughter finally returns home, but the welcome is not quite what Alice was expecting. Perhaps because Quentin told the Quinns that she was alive months before and yet their offspring took her time showing up. Sure, she's on the run from a body-jacking Lamprey, but she could've given the parents a call, amirite? Speaking of body-jacking, pirates take over the Muntjac and their intentions are far from honorable. High Queen Margo shows off her snazzy eyepatches and new levels of badassery. Don't effe with that woman's ship. Not unless it's what the Muntjac wants.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode. It's a doozy. Quentin possibly has Lamprey eggs in his brain. Niffin Alice was a horrible person and definitely the "torture artist". Gotta wonder what other creatures are on her trail. What did you think of the episode and OMG what will happen to Penny now?
The Magicians, Ep 3x01 "The Tales of the Seven Keys" aired on January 10, 2018
Quest on, Fillorians!!! That's right our favorite magicians are officially back. How fluent are you in pop culture? And how epic was that moment when Eliot and Margot delighted us all in their efforts to outwit the Fairy Queen? It was truly next level and our inner fangirl/fanboy are still feeling pretty giddy. It was only an hour, but still, we managed to check back in with everyone. They're not dealing so well with the loss of magic. Then there’s Alice who’s still on the run from that Lamprey.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down tonight's premiere, "The Tales of the Seven Keys". The Fairy Queen is treating our badass Queen Margo like her "beck and call" girl and it's just not cool. Poor Fen isn't doing so well after losing her baby to the fairies. Besties, Julia and Quentin spend much of the episode attempting to turn Julia's spark of magic into something more. Kady worries about Penny who slowly dying before her eyes. Also, Josh is back!!! What did you think of tonight's premiere? Was the Great Cock on point with his labels for our magicians and did he say "torture artist" or "tortured artist"?
Let this be a lesson! That's how you turn the page on a kickass season already brimming with badass showdowns and wild revelations. Welcome back, Helsingers! It was quite a ride, but we've reached the end of an epic season 2 for all of our favorite characters. Rowland Pidlubny (Scab/Scott) joins us to break it all down.
As it turns out, Scarlett's reunion with her mother was shortlived, but it was definitely an interesting journey. The duo started bonding somewhat as Abigail gave insight into the past. All the while, they raced against the clock to keep Dmitri, Scab and Ivory from freeing the Elder. Hit play and listen in as Rowland talks about his character's transformation and some of the season's major developments.
What did you think of the finale? How amazing were Ivory, Scab, and Dmitri in those flashback scenes? And how about the fact that Scarlett has the Elder on a leash (for now)? Also, what did you think about that ending? We've come full circle from Vanessa's first awakening, but now she's been bitten by the Elder and we know she has the blood of "The First" running through her veins. What kind of changes will this new death and bite bring about for Vanessa? We have more than enough time to speculate. Drop us a comment and let us know what you thought of the episode. Be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.
It's been quite a year in TV. Some epic fails and more unexpected gems. Hit play and listen in as we talk about some of our favorite shows from 2017, what we've been bingeing, and movies we (mostly) enjoyed this year. Stick around as we also chat about our hopes for 2018. So much potential for EPIC win. Here's looking at you Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time.
It appears that magic isn't dead after all. The year has been long but fret not because the hour is near when we all return to Fillory and Brakebills. We ended season 2 with the knowledge that just a spark of magic remained with "God-touched" Julia. Season 3 returns with the all-new episode, "The Tales of Seven Keys". Listen in as Brad and Cort talk all things The Magicians and play catch up with where exactly our favorite characters ended the season and how they got there. Then we spend some time reminiscing about our favorite moments and episodes. Eliot going full-on Swayze and the Les Mes musical number! So many great moments. This show has such an original approach and we can't wait to see which will be our greatest hits for season 3.
Hit play and listen in as we do a deep dive into the different character arcs from season 2. We also, discuss the latest trailer and bits of news we've heard during this long hiatus. We're are absolutely ready to kick this new quest into high gear. Be sure to check back at Purefandom or our "Brad and Cort Talk" Facebook group for all things The Magicians. Also, be sure to check out our "2017 in Review" podcast that will be dropping soon.
Welcome back, Helsingers! The show has teased the sanctuary, Crooked Falls, numerous times throughout the season. Of course, it was only a matter of time before our band of survivors made their way there. Who could've guessed that Scarlett would find yet another key to her past? Welcome to our screens, Andee Frizell. Clearly, Vanessa and Scarlett achieved that level of badassery from their mama. That's right! Abby and not fake Abigail has arrived and she's ready to go face down the ancient. Also, there's something really weird going on with the ferals.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Crooked Falls". Did you remember the scarred vampire from the "Vanessa"-centric episode a few weeks ago? Lucky's a goner for sure, right? There's no coming back from that one. Right? Now, the season is down to one last new episode and there's so much we need to know. What's up with Vanessa? Will Vampire Mo give in to his baser instincts or resist like Axel? What did you think of the episode? Be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.
Welcome back, Helsingers! Sam and his former bestie, Mo are back! The episode serves up some very interesting flashbacks that finally gives us an origin story on that bromance gone bad and Mo's iconic Nirvana t-shirt. The episode delves into Sam's less than ideal upbringing and his sadistic hobbies. Nature vs. Nurture? What made Sam the monster he is today and what will become of Mohamad now?
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Be True". Sure there are only two episodes left in the season, but rejoice Helsingers because we know for certain that Vanessa and company will return for a third season. What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.
The first half of the season flew by with all the killer drama and relationship turmoil. We had our last episode until next year and boy was it a doozy. The show closed out it's "Black Hood" story arc with a killer arc and yea, it wasn't quite what we expected. The red herring turned out to not be such a red herring after all. Or was he? Brad and our fellow writer Meg who does the written weekly recaps have their own theories about that reveal. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's fall finale and then check out Meg's conspiracy theory here.
Before this episode, the show has been steadily running on all cylinders. What did you think of the reveal and what lasting effect will it leave on Betty and all her friends? The show also re-awakened the iconic love triangle from the comics with that smooch between Betty/Archie and then reuniting Ronnie and her Archikins at the end of the episode. Hope remains for Bughead, though, RIGHT???? Is it wrong that I semi wanted the killer to be Betty's dad so he'd be out of the way for Alice/FP to make things happening? What's your poison? Barchie, Bughead, Varchie, or are you all about Josie/Cheryl? When is poor Kev going to get some more love and not of the hook-up variety? Where is Sherriff Keller and his Mayoral Boo? We have so many weeks to wait until the show returns in January. I guess we'll be rewatching all the eps and continual speculating whether or not the janitor was the very bad man who terrorized the citizens of Riverdale and will they ever bring back Tony Todd? Only time will tell.
Until then hit play and listen in as we chat about the last two episodes. Be sure to drop us a line on Twitter or our Brad and Cort Talk Podcast Group on Facebook .
Hey, Helsingers! She’s baaaaack. Tonight’s all-new episode finally fills us in on everything that’s been happening with Vanessa since she was kidnapped a few episodes ago. It was a doozy of a story. Vanessa finds herself in the company of a new Dr. Creepy (aka Dr. Harrison) and a nurse who claims to have an interesting connection to Vanessa and Scarlett’s past.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week’s wild new twists. What did you think of Abigail? Were you pulled in by her pretense? How do you think Vanessa will manage to cheat fate and Abigail and Dr. Harrison’s dubious plans for the sisters? The season is inching closer and closer to the end. Who are you hoping the series checks in with next?
We still have no idea what’s happening with Mohamad and what about Julius? Dead or still kicking. After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Vanessa is still AWOL and the rest of our survivors are not okay. We pick up almost immediately where we left off last week. Scarlett and the others escape becoming the main course for their new cannibal friends. It’s Dmitri and the Sisterhood to the rescue. Who’d have thought? Granted, the vampires are single-minded in their intent to retrieve the key and the “Van Helsing” offspring.
A few weeks ago, Cort had the chance to speak with Missy Peregrym (link) and the actress teased the possibility of flashbacks into Scarlett’s background. Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Wakey Wakey”. Were you as pumped as we were to see pre-Apocalypse flashbacks featuring Vanessa’s sis? Vampires are on your tail, are you taking advantage of a brief respite to hook-up?
Do you think Julius is done for and what did you think of his showdown with former minion, Scab (Rowland Pidlubny)? Finally, how cool was that scene with Julius discovering junk food?

Welcome back, Helsingers! Tonight we're thankful for an all-new episode of Van Helsing. Vanessa is missing after being abducted at the end of last week's episode. Axel and the rest of the group meet up with some new friendly faces with interesting eating habits. Meanwhile, Dmitri is intent on tracking down the Van Helsing sisters.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Big Mama". What did you think of the new group of survivors and their eating habits? Vampires eat humans so turnabout is fair play?

Welcome back, Helsingers! What’s a reluctant bloodsucker to do when your last true hope for salvation refuses to bite you? Poor Axel can’t seem to catch a break.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, “Everything Changes”. That title is utterly true. Suddenly we have helicopters and soldiers in the post-apocalypse.

How cool was it seeing a “powered up” Vanessa go toe-to-toe with scary AF Sam. He took things next level with the creep factor this week. We learn Felix’s fate and check in with the rest of our splintered group. Axel finally takes a bite and Doc’s having some interesting dreams.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Save Yourself". What is up with that red door and why does Axel seem to recognize it? What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.
Riverdale returns tomorrow with an all-new episode. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort speculate about Riverdale's serial killer and the latest clues from "NightHawks" and "Watcher in the Woods". Archie has taken matters into his own hands after Fred's shooting and Miss Grundy's murder. Kevin's less worried about the serial killer/shooter roaming around the small town and more so worried about finding his own intimacy and connection. Things didn't go well with him and his last boo, Joaquin, especially after finding out the other kid was working for FP Jones. His friends are all pairing off and there aren't a lot of options in Riverdale for Kevin. Hiram lodge continues to be up to no damn good and despite his best intentions to keep his distance, Jughead gets pulled further into life as a Southside Serpent.
What do you think Mr. Lodge is up to exactly and has Veronica really forgiven her dad or is still working through her suspicions? Do you think Betty crossed a line in going to Sherriff Keller or it's what she should have done as Kevin's friend? Also, what's up with Cheryl this season? Is she back to her true mean girl self or is it all a front? Give us a listen and then drop us a comment to let us know what you thought of the episodes and who has landed on your list of suspects.
In this special HorrorCast, Brad and Cort discuss The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The duo throw down some details about the original film you might not have known and discuss all the movies that came after the original movies release.
Welcome back, Helsingers! Okay, let's shout this one out loudly for those in the back to hear us well. Sam is not a good partner for hide-and-seek! If wants you to be his new bff, then play it off well until you can get gone. Or at least stall long enough for our favorite Van Helsing berserker to show up. Got it? Good. What an episode. We're still not all right after last week's finale and clearly, neither is Vanessa. Our titular heroine has spent the past week taking out her grief and rage on every single vampire that she and Julius can track down. They encounter an interesting new breed of bloodsuckers and run into a new group. Friends or foe? Vanessa doesn't let her guard down easily.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "A Home". Were you as freaked out as we were by Sam's idea of fun and games? Poor Felix. Which would you rather encounter in this world? Skinners or Sam looking for a new hide-and-seek partner? What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.
Welcome back, Martians. The end has arrived and boy what a ride. Talk about creepy goodness. This week takes us on one last trip into the No End House with Jules to save her best friend from The Father and Seth. For most of the episode, Margot seems to have given in and allows her memories to seep away one bit at a time. Her relationship with the father appears to evolve the more time they spend together and Seth finally shows his true colors.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's season finale, "The Hollow Girl". We break down those larger moments and speculate about the fate of our favorite characters. What do you think happened once the girls left the No End House? Be sure to visit the Facebook page or drop us a comment on Twitter to let us know what you thought of the 2x06, "The Hollow Girl".
The Walking Dead 8×01 recap "Mercy" Aired Oct. 22 2017
The Walking Dead is BACK! Was The Walking Dead 8×01 better than we expected? Well...we gave it a B. While the season 8 premiere definitely felt like "the old show" again, it didn't have the same "WOW" factor that several of the previous season premieres had. We break down that and more in our podcast.
In this podcast, we discuss:
-Why this season premiere felt different that previous seasons; -Who we think are in the two graves Rick was standing over; -What those flash-forwards really mean; -Who the real Big-Bad is this season (hint: It's not Negan); -Why Rick's quote over the two graves has even more meaning than you may think; -PLUS: Our ridiculous banter and other random comments on The Walking Dead.

The Pure Fandom Marvel Movies Podcast is hosted by Patrick Pochop and his co-host and sister, Liz Prugh. The two also host Pure Fandom’s Star Wars Theory Series Podcast. Join them as they relive each Avenger leading up to the new Marvel films! This week we discuss the Hulk movies.
In our first and second podcasts we discussed the evolution of Iron Man and what he brings to the table for The Avengers. In Part II we dove into Captain America and why he is truly the man to lead the superheroes into saving the world. In Part III, we tackle Hulk. In addition to breaking down his importance to The Avengers in the Marvel films, we discuss just why the Hulk movies didn't do much justice to the character. Were the standalone films as bad as the review say? Our resounding answer is "yes."
Marvel movies timeline: Here’s the order to watch every Marvel film
Join the discussion on why the Hulk movies fell short:
-Does Hulk even deserve his own film? Or, is his character best served as a sidekick in other Marvel films? We break down why the latter makes the most sense. -Which Hulk in the standalone films was best: Edward Norton or Eric Bana? -Why we think Mark Ruffalo may be the best onscreen Hulk. -Why Hulk's role in Thor: Ragnarok may be the character's best film appearance yet. -Why Logan didn't include Planet Hulk like in the Old Man Logan comics. -Bonus: Liz's 8-week old baby/Pat's niece makes a surprise appearance... who doesn't love a good baby cry? We keep it real, guys.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Tonight's episodes was a definite kick in the heart. Oh, the things we do in the name of love. We finally learn more about Julius backstory. Who he was before Dmitri turned him and we finally get a firm answer on his connection to the dearly departed, "Mama". Flesh has a hard decision to make and he may have overestimated his connection to Lucky. Maybe next time more people will listen when Mohamad speaks. With that said, I wonder what he'll think of Sam's new sidekick, Felix.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this heartbreaker of an episode. What was your favorite moment and who was that creature at the end of the episode? Were you worried about Flesh in the others after what happened to Dylan? This season is definitely of and running. What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or check find us on Twitter.
Welcome back, Martians. Tonight's penultimate episode was as crazy as ever. The girls successfully escaped the house, but it wasn't quite done with them. Desperate for his next meal and continued connection with Margot, the Father escaped the No End House and into the real world. Seth isn't too far behind and things take an even more twisted turn than anything before.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "The Damage". We discover that the girls were inside the house for three days and the memories taken by the house leave noticeable gaps for both girls. What moment surprised you the most? Margot's decision to sacrifice herself or the house's disappearing act? Might there have been another way? Be sure to hit the comments to let us know what you thought of the episode, "The Damage".

Star Wars Theory Series is BACK! With the Episode VIII trailer drop during Monday Night Football, we had to whip up another podcast and break it down. While the trailer didn't reveal too much, we still have some solid theories as to what we can expect when the film hits theaters December 14.
Tune in for details on what the new Episode VIII trailer revealed:
-Character development for Rey: With father-figure Han murdered, Rey is out for revenge. We all know this isn't the best foundation to build a Jedi on, so what does this mean for her path? -Luke is afraid: The trailer confirmed that Luke is definitely on that planet for a purpose, not just to hide. What is he searching for? -Kylo's next step to the dark side: Will he complete his journey to the dark side and murder his mother? The trailer alludes to this. -Meet non-hologram Snoke: We get to meet the mystery villain in the flesh; what will his showdown with Rey reveal? -We still know nothing: What we love about Star Wars is that they don't give too much away. Benicio del Toro and Lauren Dern were absent from the trailer, but we know their characters serve an important part to the new film. -We make fun of each other: We of course tease Pat about his love for the prequels, and Liz yells at Eric for ragging on Luke. -Miller Lite is horrible: Since we live in Indiana, we can't buy beer on Sundays, and all we had available was Miller Lite in the back of Liz's fridge.

We waited all summer, but the show has finally returned. Welcome back to Riverdale, Bulldogs and River Vixens.

Poor Fred's life is hanging on by a thread and Archie is devastated. His friends immediately launch into action.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down their favorite moments from the season premiere and start playing detective (ala Jughead himself). Were you a little spooked when Archie walked in on Cheryl bestowing the "kiss of life" on Fred? Do you think Betty should be worried about Jughead's growing connection with the Serpents? What was your favorite moment from "A Kiss Before Dying"? Do you think that Veronica could be right about her parents somehow being connecting to the shooting? Be sure to listen in and then hit the comments below to let us know what you thought of the episode.
Tis the season for something good and spooky. Netflix has just the thing with McG's latest horror-comedy, The Babysitter. The film stars Judah Lewis, Samara Weaving, Robbie Amell and Bella Thorne.

Pipes discusses his process when composing music for projects like The Babysitter and Krampus.
Listen in as Pipes discusses his background and what it was like putting together the music for the horror romp and then be sure to check out the film which drops on Netflix right in time for a Friday the 13th fright fest.
Welcome back, Helsingers! With a title like that, you just knew that Doc (Rukiya Bernard) had to come into play. After her fears cost Axel his life, there just had to be a way that she could make amends. Color us surprised and hella happy with how quickly the old friends were reunited. Axel is now quite bloodthirsty and understandably bitter about Doc leaving him to die. Their not so happy reunion has quite a few interesting twists. Meanwhile, Mohamad also struggles with trying to make amends for betraying Vanessa.
Our titular heroine has a laser focus on getting Dylan away from the danger trailing them and perhaps figuring out a way to reverse Dr. Creepy's work on her offspring. Flesh and Lucky continue to make one hell of a team and an unexpected encounter leads to some interesting consequences for Julius. Listen in as Brad and Cort break down the craziest twists and their theories. Be sure to drop a comment to let us know what you thought of Ep 2x02, "In Redemption."
Welcome back, Martians. The end is neigh. After tonight's episode, we've got two more episode in this creeptastic season. The episode ends with Jules and Margot successfully making their way through the actual exit. We think. We hope. Our girls have had one trauma after another dumped on them in the No-End House.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's crazier moments and speculate what it all could possibly mean. Margot discovers the truth about Seth and has an interesting reaction. Jules seems to be slipping further under the house's thrall, while Dylan kicks all kinds of butt throughout the episode.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Our favorite vampire apocalypse has begun again and it's bloody amazing. Last season, Vanessa made a devastating discovery about her daughter's fate and the show picks up where things left off. To say that she's still salty about Mohamad's betrayal. Speaking of Mo, he's not having the best day with the ladies in his life.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down the craziest twists and unexpected discoveries from tonight's season premiere. How amazing is Andrea Ware's Lucky? She's definitely as badass as advertised in our recent chat with the actress. Should be interesting to see how Lucky fits in with the rest of the group. We can already see a clash coming between her "kill them all" philosophy and Dylan's new status. Hit play and then drop a comment to let us know what you thought of this week's premiere.
Welcome back, Martians. The show as not joking with the graffiti that JD spotted upon first entering the No-End House. Someone warned all who entered, "Beware the Cannibals" and now we're wondering who did that and why the house left it there. No biggie, the ominous warning means nothing to those first entering the house and it fits perfectly with the haunted them. This week, we learn a lot more about the cannibals of No-End House.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's twistiest turns. Margot's search for the truth about her father's suicide takes a backseat as she realizes the true danger around her. The house continues its mind games on Jules and Dylan tries to bring his wife's mind back from the brink. Hit play and then drop a comment to let us know what you thought of "Beware the Cannibals."
'Van Helsing' Exclusive Interview: Brad and Cort Talk to Andrea Ware and Vampires by Pure Fandom
Welcome back, Martians! Brad and Cort are back to dive into this weeks episode now that everyone has left room 5 things have taken a turn for the worst. Jules and Margot realize they’re still in the No-End House but have different ideas on what they need to do next. J.D. didn’t actually have that big of a crush on Jules it seems, well not enough to worry much about her. Maybe if he had things might have worked out a little better for him. Of course, with the house leaching, the memories of its victims escape appears to be a hard thing to accomplish. Although it isn't impossible. Is room six just The Matrix? What is up with those orchards? We also discuss how those who don't escape they room end up becoming part of it. Don't worry though, we made sure to talk about the cannibalism.
Besties Jules and Margot enter No-End House and get much more than the cheesy haunted house they were expecting. The Horrors that await inside are strangely more personal and darker as they venture from one room to the next.
In the S2 finale, Clootie’s awake but he's not at full strength. Widow Mercedes pulls a double cross and decides she can do bad all by herself. She and quite a few spend the rest of the episode trying to get their grubby paws on sweet little baby Earp. Badass Mama herself manages to still kick much behind even mid-labor. Rosita pulls her own double cross and it's a very emotional and revealing episode all around.
This week, Syfy's "creepypasta" series returns with a second installment of creepy goodness. Channel Zero: No-End House is set to premiere on Wednesday, Sept 20th. Just so there's no confusion, this will be a completely different tale from last year's installment, Channel Zero: Candle Cove.
Listen in as Brad and Cort briefly discuss the nature of "creepypasta" tales and the upcoming installment from Syfy. This six-hour installment was inspired by Brian Russell's "creepypasta" tale and tells the story of Margot Sleator (Amy Forsyth) and her bestie, Jules (Aisha Dee). The pair visits the No-End House, a bizarre house of horrors that consists of a series of increasingly disturbing rooms and experiences. The true horror comes for Margot when she returns home to find things not quite the same. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort briefly preview the series
If it feels like the end, that's because it is. As our season finale comes to a close, and with no news of renewal, it looks to be a series finale as well. But if you thought that would mean all of our questions would be answered, you're probably pretty upset right about now. That's not to say we didn't get some closure, but we also got left with a lot more questions.
We definitely didn't get the happy ending we were hoping for when it came to Arthur and Grace. There was a slightly less miserable ending for Arthur, but it was still pretty bleak. Chris and Aki was another couple that certainly didn't get the ending we were hoping for. Certainly not the expected ending either. But with Blood Drive, we should have learned by now to expect the unexpected. Slink's ending was definitely fitting, even if it's not the one us fans wanted because we just want more episodes!
One thing is for sure, there is still a possibility this show could be renewed. People thought dead could still be alive. There are still many places the show can go. So join Brad and Sarah as they not only break down that explosive finale, but discuss possible futures as well. We would love to hear your theories on the matter as well so leave us a comment or two!
If you can't get enough of Brad's podcasts you're in luck! Join his SyFy group, Brad and Cort Talk! Don't forget to check out Brad's Blood Drive recaps here as well!
Blood Drive season finale airs Wednesday, September 6th on SyFy at 10/9c. Check out more podcasts from Brad and Cort Talk.
With the season and possibly series finale looming before us, will all of our burning questions be answered? Or will we all be left behind to become drones and clones for Heart Enterprises? Arthur has achieved full Primo status, but it seems that status goes hand in hand with another type of status. Being a douche. If you were worried about Chris, don't feel bad, there was a moment or two there where we were convinced Arthur had just killed his best friend as well.
As for Arthur and Grace, they may have had a huge battle and almost maimed each other, but lovers will fight. In the end Arthur was able to turn back around and they got back to taking Heart down. But if you thought Slink was going to let them leave without him, you clearly haven't been watching the same show as we have! He's got one last team up left in him! So enter the Blood Garage, where we only have your best interests at Heart. (See what we did there?)
Listen to our recap and drop a comment letting us know your thoughts and feelings on episode 1x12 "Faces of Blood Drive". Feel free to leave us your final theories as well! Brad feeds on them like a blood engine feeds on people. Sarah mostly just gets confused, but she is great for moral support!
The end is near! Or is it here? Technically we have a few more episodes left (thank goodness) but the race did come to an end. Kind of. We think? All talk of racing went out the window as a battle dome ending decided our racers fates. We had a shocking reappearance as we said goodbye to a few favorites. Spoiler alert! We're looking at you Domi and Cliff. I say spoiler alert, but I hope you have already watched the episode. If not, you should get out of here and come back after you watch it! Or be a rebel and continue reading and listening!
It came down to Grace and Arthur in the end, so who ultimately walked away Primo? Join Brad and Sarah as we discuss this game changing, game ending episode of Blood Drive! Don't worry, there was more than enough blood to keep you satisfied, you bleeders! For an added bonus, there was also a bit of Smax Candy added in. So step into the thunder dome, I mean Blood Garage, and we'll tell you everything you need to know!
Listen to our recap and drop a comment to let us know if you thought episode 1x11 "Rise of the Primo" was mind boggling like we did! Leave us any theories you have as well! Brad loves to analyze them as Sarah tries to throw logic where it doesn't belong!
Oh, Wynnona where art thou? That was the question on our lips after last week's episode left us with a disappeared Wynonna Earp and Doc stuck in that well. For the most part, this episode was all about Team BBD and what that looks like without a Wynonna Earp in their lives. What is Waverly like if she never had her big sister Wynonna, and she's been all alone after the deaths of her father and Willa? Clearly, that spark between WayHaught can't be dimmed even under the glamour hanging over Purgatory.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this season's penultimate episode. Doc climbs out of that well and wanders into a world that's definitely not the way he left it. Wynonna and baby Earp are nowhere to be found. The widows are closer than ever to freeing their hubby. Waverly is getting married and not to her girl crush. Dolls and Jeremy are running things over at BBD with Rosita. It's a world gone crazy and revenants are running amok with an heir to rein them in. Were you as excited as we were to see Bobo finally make his return? He's the king after all. Hit play and then drop your thoughts in the comments. One more episode after tonight. Eek!!
We get a little glimpse into the normal this week as Arthur makes his way to Cronenburgh. Well, as normal as things can get on Blood Drive! In this episode normal meant noxious, hallucination inducing gas. The type of gas that helps you look past the imperfections of all those around you. To be specific, the horror inducing disfigurement as a result of the scar. Will Arthur and Grace ever get a real taste of what normal could be?
Join Brad and Sarah as we break down all the illusions on this week's episode of Blood Drive! We've got weddings, last meals, and difficult math. But we can't forget Slink saving the day! If that's not enough to have you shaking your head in wonder, we also have a major team up! Slink, Arthur, and Grace are riding off into the sunset together for one last ride. They're also not the only ones. Chris and Aki decide it's time to meet back up with Arthur as they get a sweet ride themselves. Although, theirs seems to have a few more road bumps.
Need more details? Don't worry, we've got them! Listen to our recap and then drop a comment to let us know if you thought episode 1x10 "Scar Tissue" was as great as we did!
We honestly couldn't think of a better title for this episode because things got dark and right off at the top of the episode. Not our WayHaught! Don't do it, writers. We can take them fighting and even other people in their lives, but don't take Nicole Haught. Thankfully, they didn't but these days you never know. The episode picked up right where we left off last week. Widow!Mercedes was drawn to Nicole's place thinking that she had the third seal. Nicole gets bit with lethal venom.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss the moments that felt like a gut punch and the lines that hand them rolling. Also, can Jeremy sit down with Wynonna and explain the difference between Star Trek and Harry Potter. Unless she was only doing that to get under his skin and if so...well-played.
Blood Drive is offering us more questions every episode. And not as many solutions! This episode definitely made you feel like your brain was melting. Our first suggestion is that you don't think about anything too hard because you will get a headache. We think some mysteries have been revealed, but can you ever really be sure with this shows?
Join Brad and Sarah as we not only break down this week's episode of Blood Drive, but discuss some theories too! Not only do we have a gravely injured Arthur, but we also have a Chinese Food Restaurant in the middle of nowhere? This probably isn't the best choice of place to eat. But things get even weirder as we take a trip into Arthur's subconscious. Need more details? That's good because we've got them! Listen to our recap and theories then drop a comment with any theories you have! Let us know if you thought episode 1x09 "The Chopsocky Special" was as strange as we did. What's the real story with Aki? And just where the hell did Arthur disappear to?!
Holy guacamole! Was that the most epic battle scene we've ever seen on Game of Thrones? Tune in as we break down the crazy work that went on behind-the-scenes to pull off Drogon's Westeros debut, as well as the other significant happenings of the episode, like Bran continuing to creep everyone out and those random cave paintings that gave us some serious Lost-vibes.
Discussed in this podcast:
-The theories that claim Dany will "go down a dark path", and why we don't believe them; -Arya's badass return to Winterfell and her epic fight with Brienne; -The significance of Bran saying, "Chaos is a ladder" to Littlefinger, and why it looked like Pete was crapping his pants when Bran said that; -Jon and Dany's venture into the underground mountain of dragonglass and why those cave paintings were crucial; -Why Jaime Lannister is totally not dead (but his last-ditch effort to kill Dany was REALLY stupid); -Why we should care about Theon/Reek at all at this point; -How excited we are that next week's preview shows Jon and Drogon face-to-face!

Hello, Earpers! Our Black Badge crew is back this week with an all-new episode. A very, pregnant Wynonna and cross-fit badass, Waverly, show off their best moves right at the top of the episode. Doc finds a perfect (read: creepy) painting for the baby's room. Wynonna blindsides Doc with a very unexpected proposal (not that kind...unfortunately). As we learned last week, his ring is the third seal and she wants to destroy it before the widows can get to it. WayHaught are on the outs and Waverly connects with Rosita. Dolls and Jeremy team up again and it is highly entertaining. Don't you love it when Dolls gets those glowy eyes of fire?
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort breakdown the biggest OMG moments of the episode. What do you think the Widow meant about Waverly being special? Are you on board with Cort's theory about Waverly's parentage? Hit the comments and let us know what you thought of this week's episode, "Forever Mine, Nevermind." We've got just a few more episodes left before the finale.
Before we get started, let's all just take a moment to appreciate Smax Candy. Without them, would any of us be here? Who's to say? All I know is that this stuff is everywhere in Blood Drive, along with Kox meat apparently. Which is clearly the main sponsor of the entire Blood Race. Or it was. But everyone tastes the same on the grill.
Tune in as the Brad half of Brad and Cort allows fellow Blood Drive fan and Pure Fandom writer Sarah to join him for the breakdown of this week's episode! As if being in the desert wasn't bad enough, we've got a demanding sheriff who wants more from Arthur than he can give. But we all know how things are dealt with in the old west. Want more details? No problem, we've got them! Just listen in below and drop a comment to let us know what you thought of episode 1x07, "A Fistful of Blood". What did you think of what happened to Arthur? And what about the tension between Grace and Slink?
Talking TV With Liz and Lindi podcast recap: Game of Thrones, Season 7, Episode 3, The Queen's Justice, Aired July 30, 2017
Game of Thrones fans, we finally got the moment we've all been waiting for—the meeting of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. The two powerhouses had their first tête-à-tête ever, and they weren't exactly on the same page. With completely different objectives (and Dany not truly believing White Walkers exist), this duo will have to figure out how to work together to not only defeat Cersei, but to save humankind.
Discussed in this podcast:
-Bran's awkward return home; -Jon and Dany's first meeting and what comes next for them; -The meaning behind Varys and Melisandre's talk; -If were we underestimating Cersei and her power; -Olenna's ultimate mic drop; -A parallel between Jon and Rhaegar you probably missed; -'The blue flower' theory' and how it has resurfaced; -Why some fans believe that Bran is the Night King; -and more!

First, let's celebrate the amazing news that the show has been renewed for a third season. Bring on more badass Wynonna, clever Waverly, sassy Doc, way more WayHaught, and hulked-out Dolls. We're so here for it. Especially after this fantastically timey-wimey episode.
Listen in as Brad and Cort breakdown the highlights from "No Future in the Past" and that awesome return for our favorite revenant, Bobo. Who knew he was such a good dude in his previous life? Also, how cool was that party that Rosita put together for her lover's babymomma? Too bad that Wynonna's only other female friend in Purgatory is currently possessed. Hit play and then drop a comment below to let us know what you thought of this week's all-new episode 2x08, "No Future in the Past."

This week is our 20th episode! To celebrate, we feature special guest Michael Welling, a fellow Star Wars-enthusiast. He and his friends had a few beers one night and decided to break down the math behind the Death Star: How big would the weapon be in real life? Who could live on it? How many levels did it have? We dive into the uber-nerdiness of the making of a real Death Star, plus of course talk all things Star Wars.
Tune in for Death Star details:
-How big the Death Star would be in real life; -Jobs that someone would have working on the Death Star; -Why the Death Star would actually hold a larger population than Earth; -How fast the Death Star could go, and if the technology could potentially exist in real life; -and more!

This week Doc’s got a bounty on his head and it’s one that’s been hanging around for a good century or so. He’s all kinds of emotional about becoming a dad. Only issssss he about to be a dad?. Baby Earp may have an immortal badass for his or her Old man or….a revenant because...yeah. Wynonna got drunk and hooked up with one of those two. Waverly becomes certain that she’s not an Earp after all. The boys bond. Like really this week. As do Nicole and Wynonna. I’m on board for more of ALL that.

Talking TV With Liz and Lindi podcast recap: Game of Thrones, Season 7, Episode 1, "Dragonstone", Aired July 16, 2017
Game of Thrones is finally back, and season 7 did not disappoint. Executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff were not joking when they said the show would be getting straight to the point. There were no filler scenes of any kind. From Arya's utter destruction of the Frey family, to Daenerys' outrageously long walk to the Dragonstone castle, every scene was impactful and important.
Discussed in this podcast:
-Euron's outfit (seriously, you know you were thinking about it, too); -What you missed in the Citadel scenes—including what critical information the OTHER page held that Sam was reading; -What gift Euron could be talking about giving to Cersei; -What comes next for The Hound after his Lord of Light revelation and that gut-wrenching scene; -Who will end up killing Cersei; -A parallel between Sansa and Cersei you may not have noticed; -How Jorah could actually be healed (even with that nastiness growing on his arm); -The long-awaited reunion the episode 2 promo hints; -And more!

With Game of Thrones season 7 (and winter!) finally here, we've been breaking down all sorts of theories here at Pure Fandom: The prince that was promised, Tyrion being a Targaryen, possible ideas for HBO's spinoff(s), and more. This week, right before the season 7 premiere, we're bringing you our own Mormont theory and how we believe the family is way more involved in the War Against Winter than what's been shown so far.
In this Pure Fandom Podcast, co-founder and host Liz Prugh sits down with her husband and frequent guest-host Eric to break down how exactly they believe the Mormont family has played a pivotal role in the story of ice and fire, particularly Jon Snow.
Tune in for details on:
-A refresher on R+L=J (Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon) and how Jon is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen; -The Knight of the Laughing Tree story and how it's pivotal to R+L=J; -Who the Mormonts are: Jeor Mormont AKA the former Lord Commander of The Night's Watch, Ser Jorah Mormont, Lyanna Mormont, and Meage Mormont; -Why we believe that Jeor had abdicated his seat as Lord of Bear Mountain in The North to take his place at The Wall to await Jon Snow's arrival, knowing he was the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna; -And more crazy details on how Jeor and Ned were working together all along.

Welcome back to Purgatory, folks. Brad and Cort break down tonight's all-new episode, "Whiskey Lullaby" and give their reactions to last week's bombshell news. Wynonna Earp is knocked up, y'all! No wonder the show went into overdrive to keep the episode underwraps until it aired. This week jumps in with the aftermath of that game-changing news. The Earp heir has another heir of her own, and thanks to the Sandman, Lil Wynonna or Lil Doc will be here a lot sooner than expected.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss the new development in the story and their speculation of what could come next. There's also more trouble thanks to those creepy widows screwing around with time. Besides, offering its share of twists, the episode also showcased some very interesting developments in all of the major relationships on the show. Then there was that WayHaught moment that was FIRE. Give us a listen and then hit the comments to let us know what you thought of this week's episode, "Whiskey Lullaby".
Well, that whole Waverly gets possessed by black goo and does some pretty crazy things took a MOST unexpected turn in this week's all-new episode, "She Ain't Right". Nicole and Wynonna finally put their heads together to talk about Waverly's odd behavior and it seemed that the two ladies in Waverly's life would somehow figure out the truth and help our girl. The goo leaving Waverly to infect her big sis? Didn't see that coming at all. Now that it's possessed Wynonna, will we finally discover if this possession is connected to whatever has taken hold of the Gardeners?
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's episode and throw out their theories of what it could all mean. Dolls has officially returned to the BBD fold and seems to have a working serum. With Wynonna possessed and the "Gardeners" certainly up to no good, his help will definitely be needed. What was your favorite moment? Besides, Waverly going all "The Fabulous Baker Boys" in that nightclub, of course. Hit play and then comment below to let us know what you thought of the episode.
Brad and Cort are back to break down Team Black Badge's latest misadventure in this week's all-new episode, "Gonna Getcha Good." Things are still pretty weird when it comes to all things Waverly. Our girl is losing time. Meaning our Waverly is still somewhere in there. Along with whatever decided to hitch a ride in the finale when Wynonna's baby sis touched that black good. Despite dealing with her own issues, Nicole has noticed the change in Waverly and given Wynonna a heads up.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort discuss Agent Dolls interesting return to Purgatory. What did you think of Doc's plan to save their old friend and is Perry boyfriend material for Wynonna or nah? The dark figures from last week make another appearance in this episode.

This week we discuss the big Star Wars news: The Han Solo film has a new director! Ron Howard steps in as the previous duo parts ways with Disney, and we discuss the perks of the Hollywood legend taking over. We also break down the incredible trailer for Star Wars Battlefront II on PlayStation 4, what we know about Episode VIII's casino planet Canto Bight, as well as some Boba Fett news that hints at the famous character's appearance in a possible film.
Listen and see the images and trailer we refer to in the podcast here: http://www.purefandom.com/2017/06/23/star-wars-theory-series-part-19-han-solo-movies-new-director-bobba-fett-and-battlefront-2-news
Well, that was gross. Don't touch the goo, people. While you're at it, don't go around chowing down on random supernatural spiders. Granted, we're still not sure what Waverly is becoming or infected with. In this week's all-new episode, "Shed Your Skin" folks are going missing and the things that go bump in the night are getting stranger by the minute. Wynonna continues to grow accustomed to her new role within Black Badge now that Dolls is AWOL. Doc is seemingly off doing his own thing. Brad and Cort had their own ideas of what ol' Holiday is up to with his new secret chemistry set.
With Bobo gone, there's more than enough room for a new big bad in town. Will it be Waverly or the faceless creature in black that seems to be stalking, Wynonna? Listen in as Brad and Cort break down the episode, and discuss their theories. Be sure to hit the comments section below to let us know what you thought of the episode.
Welcome back to Purgatory, folks. Wynonna and her badass team of peacekeepers are back as the series kicks of its sophomore season. Dolls is still on lockdown and Wynonna is doing her level best to avoid the fact that she put down her own sister in the season one finale. Waverly isn't quite herself. Or is she? Was Waverly affected by the black sludge alone or did it awaken something in the not quite Earp? Wynonna makes a new friend as she seeks to free Dolls, but things don't quite work out like she expects.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down tonight's all-new episode. Do you think that this is the last we've seen of Dolls or will the Black Badge original be back before season's end? Were you as bummed as Brad about Elise's debut cut short? What is up with Waverly? Will she take over where Bobo left off? Be sure to hit the comments to let us know what you thought of the episode.
Who will rule the planet? Man or Apes? On July 14th, we will finally get the answer to the question that has been building since 20th Century Fox gave us Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011. This summer Caesar returns to the silver screen in for the third installment, War for the Planet of the Apes. Star, Chad Rook (Timeless) joins Brad and Cort to discuss his role in the upcoming film. The actor/director also talks about filming the movie and offers some insight into "ape school". Chad also chats about his other upcoming projects which are many. The actor has a role in Freeform's upcoming mermaid series, Siren. Check out the trailer because it is twisty for sure (trailer). No fairytale here folks. The actor is involved in another movie that recently premiered at Cannes, Extremity. Chad also discusses his brief stint on CW's The Flash and all the ways his character Clyde Mardon/The Weather Wizard could make his return to Central City.
Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort have an amazing time chatting with Rook about War for the Planet of the Apes and his other upcoming projects.

This week we are joined again by guest-host Eric Prugh to talk about the latest in Star Wars news from Vanity Fair’s May 2017 cover story.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 22 - Nevertheless, She Persisted aired May 12, 2017
In this podcast we break down:
- How boring superhero slugfests are
- The problems with Supergirl and the Arrowverse at large
- How the SFX budget for this episode was wasted
- How to truly use lead to deal with the daxamites
- All the setup done for Lena to turn on Kara/Supergirl
- What we want to see from Supergirl in season 3
- The possibility of Calista Flockhart returning as Cat Grant in season 3
- The lessons Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D could teach the Arrowverse teams
We want more. The bottom line is we want more from our heroes in general and the Arrowverse in general. Yes our heroes should be flawed, and yes they should make mistakes and have problems to deal with, but they shouldn’t be idiots. This season finale of Supergirl was meant to be big and flashy and emotional and heavy, but it instead felt heavy handed, overly dramatic and contrived.
Supergirl is suffering from the same problems as The Flash, and the easiest way to identify the problem is to say that it feels like they’re being too literal in the translation of comic book ideas into television. In doing so they’re missing the opportunity to address the flaws and tropes of the comic book genre.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments, or tweet at us (@heniadis and @kheniadis). We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to hear from us.

Now that's how you end a season in epic fashion. We finally got some resolution about the true identity of the Witness and Athan chooses a side. We got a lot of answers, but they couldn't let us go without leaving us go with a few big questions. Brad and Cort are back to piece together this season's timey-wimey puzzle and the set up for the finale season. The final three episodes of the season gave a deeper glimpse into Athan's beginnings and the events that initially made him decide to follow through with his dark destiny. Cassie and Cole spend much of the time trying to break through to their son and on the run from their former compatriots.
Meanwhile, Jones is so desperate that she's willing to listen to Olivia. This, of course, is what the other woman has been plotting all along. Everything slowly comes together for the reveal that the Witness they've all feared is not Athan, but Olivia. Jennifer is still all kinds of #TeamCassieandCole. She does her best to keep Jones just one step behind the lovers. This works until Olivia points out the obvious. Thankfully, once it is revealed that Olivia was plotting against them all along, the team manage to come together again.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down the final three episodes of the season (3x08 "Masks", 3x09 "Thief", and 3x10 "Witness"). Cort has her theory about Jennifer's role in everything. Brad can't wait to see what happens next. What was your favorite Jennifer-ism of the season? Is this the last we've seen of Athan? Yea, Brad and Cort don't think it is either. There's still plenty of story left to be told. This season was the show at it's absolute finest, and the binge only helped highlight this fact. We wouldn't mind if they did the same with season 4 next year. What do you think? Hit play and then be sure to hit the comments below.
Tell me that you didn't sing along or at least bop your head to the classic and highly appropriate, "Turn Back Time" by Cher. No worries, I was there right along with you. How fun was that tonight's first episode, "Causality". Put Jennifer Goines in charge of a heist? Yes, immediately. You have a winner just watching her plot things out. Even Jones thought it was genius. Sure the older woman's form of praise for Jennifer's genius plan was in telling her not to effe it up.
Still good times all around. And seeing everybody wearing their 80s best was also fantastic. A few weeks ago during an interview, Amanda Schull revealed that she loved splintering to different decades and the 80s was one of her favorites just because she got to see Aaron getting his "Marty McFly" look on. Speaking of reveals, Jones makes quite the discovery about Ramse's death and the Witness' origin. The conversation does not go so well for Cassie and Jones' relationship. Now that Cassie is back, she and Cole have a difficult time dealing with the truth about who their son becomes. Cassie thinks that their son, Ethan became the Witness because of the influence of those around him. She wants to try to save him, but Cole isn't sure that this is possible.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down tonight's round of episodes (3x05 "Causality", 3x06 "Nature", and 3x07 "Nurture"). Can't believe that the season will be over after tomorrow. It's been well done on all counts. What do you think of the binge so far? If you missed any of the episodes or want to re-watch before tomorrow's season finale, the network has been great about posting the episodes on their website or through the app. This entire arc has been amazing, methinks that "Causality" is my fave episode of the season so far. Good, fun times mixed in with some of our favorites dealing with their latest trauma. And there's more to come tomorrow.
Hit play and check out Brad and Cort's takes on the night's best moments and discoveries. Afterward, be sure to hit the comments below to let us know what you thought of the episode and what you hope to see before the season wraps?
Cult fave, 12 Monkeys splintered back into our lives and it did so in epic fashion. Brad and Cort are back to break down the first four episodes of the season. How are you guys doing out there? Mind still spinning from all things timey-wimey? Same for us, but how glorious were those four jam-packed hours? So many things happened. Cassie's first meeting with her son isn't quite as she expected. Cole puts in over time searching for Cassie. Paradox in a box. What to do when the enemy is someone so close?
Listen in as Brad and Cort take some time to dig into the interesting twists and turns from each episode. How badass is Hannah? She truly is a daughter of Jones and Old Jennifer. Speaking of Jennifer, Emily Hampshire is a frigging revelation. Of course, we knew this from her amazing portrayal of Jennifer Goines. This season takes things to the next level on all counts. Also, the fact that this was a binge works so well. Hit play and listen in, then drop a comment to let us know what you thought of tonight's amazing episodes. Was Future Cole right when he told the other one that the future was already written and couldn't be changed? What moment left you speechless? Did you cry? We totally cried and laughed. Lots to think about before we get three more episodes for night two of this 3-day binge (Eps 3x5: Causality, 3x6 Nature, and 3x6 Nurture).

In our last podcast we broke down the possible meanings behind the The Last Jedi trailer, and this week we are talking all things Obi-Wan. With the Han Solo spinoff coming out in 2018, it only seems fair to fans of the Star Wars universe that there be a dedicated movie to one of the greatest jedi in the film franchise, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In this podcast, we break down:
-The several different storylines that could possibly make up an Obi-Wan film (or series of films); -What Ewan McGregor said in a May 2017 interview with Jimmy Kimmel about the possibility of a solo Obi-Wan film; -Why a dedicated Obi-Wan film could possibly be delayed due to information that will be revealed in Episode VIII; -How Darth Vader and the Inquisitors could fit into an Obi-Wan film; -What fans in our Star Wars Facebook Group said they want from an Obi-Wan film' -Two special guest stars: Liz's husband Eric and Liz and Pat's dad and Star Wars expert, Poppa P!

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 21 - Resist aired May 15, 2017
In this podcast we break down:
- How Cat Grant brought the heart to this episode
- Why the President is an idiot
- Why we’re still frustrated with Supergirl
- Why Lena is awesome and why she’ll go evil
- The awesomeness that is Wynn
This episode was decidedly MEH. Even though we had Calista Flockhart and Lynda Carter in this episode, it just wasn’t all that exciting. With one episode left in the season it looks like we’ll be ending on a down note. Though Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant owned her scenes and Teri Hatcher chews some good scenery, this episode is best described as boring.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments, or tweet at us (@heniadis and @kheniadis). We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to hear from us.

Supergirl Season 2 Episode 19, Alex, aired May 01, 2017 AND Episode 20, City of Lost Children, aired May 08, 2017
In this podcast we break down:
- Why Mon-El is currently a pointless character
- Why the Jimmy/Guardian storyline should be cut entirely
- What Supergirl does right (and what its doing terribly wrong)
- How badass Alex is
- Why we’re so frustrated with Supergirl
- What we’re looking forward to in the last episodes of the season
- Whether or not we’re going to be watching Season three.
We did NOT love these episodes. This season has been so uneven that we’re not even sure we’re going to watch season 3. With Calista Flockhart returning to wrap up the season we’re still looking forward to the final episodes, but at this point we’re not expecting much.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments, or tweet at us (@heniadis and @kheniadis). We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to hear from us.

We're BACK! After our winter hiatus, we're pleased to return with another podcast episode of Star Wars Theory Series. In Part 16 of our podcast, we break down The Last Jedi teaser revealed at the Star Wars 40th Anniversary Celebration. While the teaser was very similar to the one released for Episode VII: The Force Awakens, we still have theories and revelations based on what we saw — and what/who we didn't see in the teaser.
In this podcast, we break down:
-What the book/piece of paper was that (Rey?) seemed to be touching with her voiceover stating, "dark versus light", and where we've seen that before in canon Star Wars lore; -The fact that we didn't see Benecio Del Toro, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, or Snoke's characters in the trailer, and how it could be on purpose to mislead us; -If Finn's significance is more than what's lead on; -Why it's 99.99% possible that we'll (finally!) see a the process of a lightsaber being made; -Why Luke could be the true chosen one, and why he might be the greatest Jedi of all; -and much, much more!

Now that is how you cap off a stellar season. The talent behind this amazing show managed to craft something truly special this season. We've seen musical episodes and ensemble shows undertaking major heists. The Magicians manages to execute everything they do with a unique flair all their own. We saw a lot of amazing growth for these characters and the set up for more to come now that magic has been lost to our Children of Earth. The Gods literally shut the power off. No wonder Myerkofski was busy trying to power up as many magical batteries as possible.
Candis Cayne also made her debut as Queen of the Fae. We may have lost the always entertaining Ember and Umber, but the fae will no doubt introduce just as much chaos for our Fillorian royals. Listen in as Brad and Cort hit on their favorite moments of the finale and speculate on what may come when the show returns next year for season three.
What did you think of this season? Did you have the time of your life or what? What was your favorite plotline and which character do you think saw the most growth? Who will be the real threat next season? The Fae or the Gods? We've got a long wait ahead, but thankfully we can go back and binge this amazing season all over again. Until next time...oh and per Jade Tailor (Kady), the kingdom has spoken and fans of the show shall henceforth be dubbed "Fillorians".
And just that fast, we are ready to break down the penultimate episode. How epic has this season been? Don't feel sad about the season winding down though, because news dropped today letting us know that our Fillory favorites will be back next year for Season 3!
There are certainly plenty of ramifications to go around from the plentiful well of trouble that Penny, Alice, and the others jumped headlong into from the very beginning of this season. Quentin and Jules have returned from their jaunt to the underworld. They make quick work of reuniting baby Alice with the Niffin in their lives. Just that quickly their friend is back, but she's not quite the same. She had so much power and knowledge at the tip of her fingers, and it slipped away just that quickly. Q and Eliot spend much of the episode trying to find track down the portal that might give them admittance back into Fillory.
Kady and Jules make peace and continue their quest to bring down Reynard. The results of their mission are shocking, to say the least. Meanwhile, Penny finally manages to find his way into the poison room. He gets Kady's book, but not without consequences. He also learns that there's more at peril than the fate of magic. Everyone has a book and something world-stopping is coming that leaves every single person living with 20 blank pages in their books.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this all new episode. What did you think of Josh's turn as the high king? Is Hakuna Matata a fitting approach when it comes to ruling a kingdom? Can Josh do anything to help Fen and Margo? What could the gods have to do with those blank pages? Hit the comments and let us know what you thought of this week's all-new episode 2x12, "Ramifications". One more to go. We're not ready!!!
A plague upon your castle indeed! On top of all of their other issues, Margo and Eliot have a new set of problems. Or pests rather. Some dark force is at work in Fillory and this time around it's turning the locals into snakes and rats. Eliot fears that his pregnant wife now has a tail and whiskers, but Margo knows better. Eliot's bestie spends most of the episode wrestling with her guilt and trying to figure out a way to fix things when the decision is taken from her hands.
Julia and Quentin make their way to the Underworld after facing off with one badass dragon. Millenials beware. The duo makes an interesting discovery or two while they wandering Hades and Persephone's realm, searching for Julia's shade. Also, Julia sees more than one familiar face in the hereafter. Meanwhile, Penny and Kady continue plotting their way into the library's poison room. They even enlist an interesting new ally who can hijack her way into Penny's dreams. Oh, how the tables turn. Quentin should enjoy that particular gem.
Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "The Rattening". What a crazy ride this season has been. We can't wait to see what's in store for the finale two episodes. Be sure to hit the comments to let us know what you thought of the episode. What was your favorite twist? Let us know.
*NOTE: We say 7x14 in the podcast, but it's episode 7x15!
With one episode left until The Walking Dead's season 7 finale, there's a lot to discuss. Though "Something They Need" was a solid episode with lots of strong moments, it seemed at times to just serve as the set up for the big finish. But we're fine with that! We're left with so many questions after watching it — most importantly, when is Carol going to swoop in and save the day?
In this podcast, we discuss:
-Why Dwight has had one of the best character arcs this season -Whether or not Eugene is still Team Rick -Who is 100% going to die in the season finale -The one scene from "Something They Need" we were disappointed with -Who Negan's "Little Birdy" could be -And how the grand finale will most likely conclude

There be dragons. Of course! You can't have a show about magicians and not have the lumbering creatures somehow show up. Dragons would be the gatekeepers of the Underworld. This show continues to think outside of the box when it comes to portraying the fantastical. Quentin juggles double duty this week as he gets pulled into preparation for Elliot's upcoming nuptials, and helping Julia reconnect with her shade. Q's bestie appears to be remorseful about almost getting him killed. Or rather she knows she should feel remorseful and decides to help in discovering more about shades. How? By connecting with Alice from another timeline.
Olivia Taylor Dudley has show incredible range this season as she played so many different incarnations of her original role. Now that time-travel is a thing, perhaps we will see her again sooner than later. Or maybe Quentin and Julia will find Alice's shade during their search for Julia's own. Or maybe NiffinAlice will appear again. There are so many possibilities. Elsewhere, the amazing Marlee Maitland (Switched at Birth) popped in Kady and Penny's storyline. Penny is now working for the library and his first assignment involve's Matlin's Harriet. She knows much about dark magic and the magically encoded memes of the interwebs.

SuperTalk 2x17 - Distant Sun
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 17, “Distant Sun”, aired March 27, 2017
This is Supergirl firing on all cylinders and it is GREAT!
It’s almost as if Greg Berlanti is listening to Super Talk! Pretty much EVERY issue we have been having with Supergirl this season was absent from this episode. Of course nothing is perfect, but this episode is what we love to see from Supergirl and we want to see more!
Karamel is back on, Malex gets hit by an ex, Mon-El discovers helicopter parenting and Linda Hamilton is FINALLY BACK!!!
While we didn’t watch the Flash/Supergirl musical, it’s clear that the events of the crossover bring Kara and Mon-El back together again, and this is fine, as long as they don’t keep breaking them up and putting them back together again.
While Karamel is back on, Malex gets hit with an ex and it looks touch and go there for a bit, but the writers handled this BEAUTIFULLY, making for a great mini arc within the episode.
The central conflict of the episode is Mon-El’s parents and oh boy is Teri Hatcher FABULOUS in this episode.
All and all we LOVED this episode and hope the rest of the season is as good as this episode is.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments, or tweet at us (@heniadis and @kheniadis). We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to hear from us.

And we thought Julia and NiffinAlice were tough nuts to crack. Our two most reckless Magicians have nothing on those mercurial fairies that strike that craziest of bargains with Margo. Although it is tough to top trading your bestie’s unborn child to stop a war, Julia does her level best to do just that in her latest attempt to get at Renard. Julia throws her best friend to the wolf…or rather fox lurking at the gates. She does it in hopes that Quentin will loosen his hold on NiffinAlice who might be powerful enough to take down Renard on her own.
Meanwhile, Penny and Kady have their hands full trying to protect Dana and Renard’s newfound demi-god son. Apparently, Julia doesn’t care whether the young Senator lives or dies, as long as she can harness his powers to take down her rapist. In Fillory, war has begun only the kingdom’s reserve of soldiers are in short supply (Thanks, Jules).
Listen in as Brad and Cort discuss the wildest twists and turns of the episode. What will Eliot say when he finds out about Margo’s deal with the fairies? How cool and creepy did they look? Also, Eliot, Fen, and Margo’s impromptu musical!!! What an unexpected delight. How much darker can Julia possibly get? Also, is this the first ever case of sexually transmitted lycanthropy?

SuperTalk 2x16 - Star Crossed
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 16, “Star Crossed”, aired March 20, 2017
We’re kind of over Supergirl at this point.
This week is ALL about relationships, and it’s both great and terrible. The twin story arcs are the arrival of Mon-El’s parents and the fallout of that on the Karamel ship; and Wynn and Lyra’s relationship.
With these relationships and the dual storylines, we have the best and worst of Supergirl all wrapped up in a single episode. The worst is Karamel.
This relationship is borderline abusive wrapped up in the stupid on again off again trope. Kara’s immediate reaction to anything Mon El does wrong is to reject him, and it keeps happening over and over again.
And we’re not saying she shouldn’t be upset about Mon-El lying, or that the relationship should be written as if everything is always perfect. She should be mad about him lying to her, and their relationship should have difficulties, like every other relationship does. That’s to be expected, but if Supergirl is an empathetic person who cares about other people, then she shouldn’t be treating Mon-El this way.
On the flip side of that, we have the wonderful treatment of Wynn and Lyra. And by that I mean that Lyra and Wynn go through a very difficult situation in this episode, and they come out the other side stronger for it! If anything I would have expected what happened with Supergirl and Mon-El to be switched for what happened with Lyra and Wynn.
Oh, and some rando shows up at the end of the episode as the lead in to the musical crossover episode of flash. This was a bit amusing if entirely too convenient and we’re looking forward to this episode of The Flash. Hopefully it’s close to the being as good as the musical episode of Buffy.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments, or tweet at us (@heniadis and @kheniadis). We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to hear from us.

We finally learn more about those complications that Kady was telling Julia about at the end of last week’s episode. The Exorcism worked and the little demi-god is gone. Along with Julia’s shade. What also has consequences, being killed or having your clay doppelganger get murked while your spirit is in there. Also, we finally learn more about Niffin Alice and the toll keeping her locked down ...most of the time is having on Q.

Fans have been raving about The Walking Dead's latest episode, "Bury Me Here," us included. Season 7, while it's had its fair share of great moments, has felt lacking in its usual magic at times. But thanks to stellar performances by Lennie James (Morgan) and Melissa McBride (Carol), and coupled with Scott Gimple's killer storytelling, this episode really blew us away.
In this podcast, we discuss:
-Why Morgan snapped and what this means for his character now -Whether or not what Richard did was justified -Our hopes for Carol now that she's back in action -Theories on how Rosita and Sasha's assassination attempt will end (and how pissed we are that they are even doing this)

Rounding out our Star Wars Theory Series podcast, hosts Liz and her brother Pat discuss what fans need next from the Star Wars universe. With all of the new movies and TV show, is there a lot left to cover to feed the fandom? We think so. Take a look at what we think should be next for the franchise as far as films (Boba Fett!), lightsaber battles, and of course — more Old Republic!
In this podcast, we break down:
-Why a Boba Fett movie would be awesome, and what needs to happen in it (what exactly did happen to all of the clones?) -Why a Han Solo trilogy might not be the best idea. -Why we NEED a series on The Old Republic. How cool would that be? -Lightsaber battles in Episode VIII: We know there are some kickass lightsaber battles coming up, and we talk about who should be matched up with who.

The Walking Dead recap: Season 7, Episode 12, “Say Yes,” Aired Mar. 5 2017
In this episode of Talking TV With Liz and Lindi, we discuss the Rick-Michonne fueled episode. It had been quite some time that we'd seen a ton of Rick or Michonne — or Walkers for that matter. Overall, we thought the episode was filled with a ton of kickass Walker scenes, but we couldn't help but be extremely frustrated by the end. cough, Rosita, cough
In this podcast, we break down:
-What the Hell is wrong with Rosita? And now she's dragging Sasha into this?! Sasha, you're better than this. Don't they realize that their selfish act of being "martyrs" is putting everyone else they love in danger? Revenge is sweet, so just wait your turn, ladies. -Rick and Michonne's adventure: Are we going to judge Rick for loving his "romantic getaway" with Michonne and wanting to savor it? -Did Tara wait too long to tell Rick about the guns? (Assuming that's what she was doing at the end of the episode.) -When will Carol just come in and save the day? We miss seeing more of badass Carol.

SuperTalk 2x15 - Exodus
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 15, “Exodus”, aired March 6, 2017
AUGH!!
There is so much potential in this show, and it just continues to disappoint.
This week we’re still on the Cadmus storyline that should have been running throughout the entire season. Bottom line, Cadmus is literally rounding up all the aliens to do something with them, possibly kill them.
As a theme, especially considering the current actions of the Trump administration, Supergirl is on point, but in execution, it’s a total disaster.
If a terrorist organization were running around kidnapping dozens (hundreds?) of legal citizens, not only would the police be up in arms, but the news outlets would be having a field day with the reporting.
Instead, NOBODY but the DEO is doing anything about it, and the whole plan to try to warn the aliens is that Kara is going to “convince” Snapper to run a front page article about kidnappings.
And that’s just the setup of the episode. Of course we’ve got the Super Problem, Alex going rogue on the DEO. Her and Lena Luthor (separately) doing the only good investigative work at all, and Kara writing a blog.
A BLOG! As if you can just pop something on the internet and suddenly your PewDiePie.
Best part of the episode is Kara getting fired and Lyra and Wynn.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments, or tweet at us (@heniadis and @kheniadis). We’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to hear from us.

In this episode of Talking TV With Liz and Lindi, we break down the Eugene/Dwight-focused episode that has the internet swirling with different views. Some really hated the episode, some loved it, and some are just ready for the war against Negan to happen already.
In this podcast, we break down:
-Whether or not Eugene is full "Team Negan" or not. Is he simply just surviving? Does he care about Rick and Co.? Will he figure out a way to plot against Negan from the inside? -If Eugene felt he was being tested by Negan's wives. Think about it: They could have been playing him as a test from Negan. Negan did show up at Eugene's door right after Eugene refused to give the wives the pills — was it a test all along and Eugene knew it? -Do we like Dwight? The note that his ex-wife left him was gut-wrenching. Maybe he framed the doctor so he could truly fake her death and let her try to live a Negan-less life as long as she can (without being hunted down by him.) -Bonus round: We reveal what we would do if we were in Eugene's situation.

This April Prison Break returns and pulls us neck deep into trouble with Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. This next installment from FOX sets up a brand new chapter for the brothers and their felonious crew. There will be some familiar faces returning along with some new faces joining our old favorites. Among those new faces is newcomer, Amin El Gamal. The actor joins the cast as a new original character, Cyclops. Listen in as Brad and Cort breakdown Gamal's character and the actor teases what's to come in this revival.
This week, Liz and Pat break down a new Star Wars theory about how fan-favorite Darth Maul could possibly be Supreme Leader Snoke (we're not entirely convinced but hear us out!) We also tested out recording via Facebook Live for the first time, and it was a hit! Tune in for our next Facebook live where we'll be doing a giveaway for a lucky listener. (PS we goofed in the recording — this is our 13th recording, not 12th!)
In this podcast, we break down the following theories:
-If Darth Maul could possibly be Supreme Leader Snoke -10+ Kylo Ren theories for Episode VIII (most of which aren't that convincing to us.) -Why the Jar Jar Binks-Sith theory needs to go away. Seriously, let's just debunk it already.

Everyone grieves in their own way. Quentin takes a vacation from his worries. Penny seeks a little help from his old mentor, Myerkofski. Both Eliot and Julia have some interesting news and similar reactions to the news. Julia just can’t catch a break. She makes an appointment stat and there’s also an assassination attempt by the Foo Fighters and no not the band.
This week's episode of Talking TV With Liz and Lindi breaks down The Walking Dead 7x10, "New Best Friends." We met a hipster-looking crew that lives in a middle of a trash dump, a medieval-looking Walker, and we also get the reunion our feels have been waiting for.
In this podcast, we break down:
-That Carol/Daryl scene: We all know it's inevitable that Carol will find out what really went down with The Saviors — what will she do next? -How Ezekiel's latest encounter with The Saviors is just the beginning to him changing his mind. -Will Tara spill the beans on Oceanside? -Why Rosita needs to STOP being such a brat — that kind of behavior doesn't last long on this show. -How Rick and Co. might conspire with Eugene as a part of their master plan — oh yeah, we have a theory here.
SuperTalk 2x13 - Mr & Mrs Mxyzptlk
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 13, “Mr & Mrs Mxyzptlk”, aired February 20, 2017
This episode of Supergirl was tock-ish. We were VERY excited for the arrival of Mr Mxyzptlk, but as the villian of the week he ultimately fell very flat. With Mr. Mxyzptlk we had a prime opportunity to address the Super Problem, as this is a villan you can’t beat with punches. Unfortunately, Mxyzptlk’s potential is squandared. First in that the trickster fun that could have been had wasn’t had at all; and second in that he was essentially a misogynistic jerk.
The strength of this week’s episode was the strength of them all, the relationships.
We had three main relationship arcs with Mon-El and Kara, Alex and Maggie, and a pleasant surprise with Wynn and a new love interest! We were worried that this episode would derail the MONGIRL ship and beat this dead trope to death, but thankfully that turns out to not be the case.
When it comes to Maggie and Alex, a powerful trauma from Maggie’s past manifests in her disdain for Valentine’s day. This creates some real tension between her and Alex, but the resolution of that tension falls a bit flat.
Our favorite was the development of Wynn’s new relationship which literally comes out of nowhere. Wynn while fun has been pretty one note this season as the tech guy that makes funny quips and does tech stuff. What starts with a lovelorn Wynn about to get beat up at the bar turns into a very touching, new relationship.
By far the biggest problem we had with the episode was the banishment of Mxyzptlk. If you’re not aware, you can send Mxyzptlk back to the 5th dimension by getting him to say his name backwards. Somehow saying it backwards out loud turns into typing it backwards on a Kryptonian keyboard.

SuperTalk: Luthors
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 12, “Luthors”, aired February 14, 2017
TWO TOCKS IN A ROW!!! The Super Problem is still a problem with Supergirl (and the CW shows in general), but this was a FANTASTIC episode! This week the Luthors are back! Lena may or may not be evil, Metallo is a bit frothy, Lillian is pretty much the star of the episode and the MONGIRL ship might have wind in its sails!
The relationships and human details of the show continue to be its greatest strength, with the Super Problem its biggest weakness. If the writers can figure out a way to write Supergirl and her villains so that she doesn’t seem like a fool when it comes to her abilities, then this show will be perfect! Lillian Luthor has been the best villain so far, but her powered pals and Supergirl continue to faff about in fights.

With an assist from Kady, Julia infiltrates Brakebills...again. The Fillory Royals are down by one and they’re not dealing with quite so well. Eliot’s torn between two kingdoms, Margo takes solace by fortifying her bitchy exterior. Penny and Q go off on one excellent adventure. Oh and in case any one forgot Magic is completely going wonky.
The Walking Dead recap: Season 7, Episode 9, “Rock in the Road,” Aired Feb. 12, 2017
Talking TV With Liz and Lindi is back! With the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead comes a new podcast where we break down the best moments (that clothesline walker scene!) and what's next for our group.
In this podcast, we discuss:
-If Ezekiel was wrong to say no Rick — and if Daryl has any chance of convincing him otherwise. -What Gabriel was really up to: Did he betray the group, or does he have something up his sleeve? -Whether or not Rosita needs to take a mother freaking chill pill. -If Carol will learn about Rick and Co.'s conquest and if there's any chance of her joining them (again.) -Who the heck those people were at the end, and why Rick was smiling about it.

Okay, show of hands. How many of you wondered for a moment if the world had somehow jumped several months forward and presented us with one hell of a season finale? Talk about a divine hour of television, "Divine Elimination" was primetime at it's best. First up, the Beast/Martin's curse reared it's ugly head, the minute all of our royals were back together. Elliot clearly did a lot of work getting the throne room back into some semblance of order. You know, no dead bodies and someone for everyone to settle down for a leisure day of ruling. He didn't sound too happy about all the fun times missed with everyone else getting tramp stamps and cool Keiko demons. Listen in as Brad and Cort breakdown the episode.
SuperTalk: The Martian Chronicles
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 11, “The Martian Chronicles”, aired February 06, 2017
Supergirl TOCK! Definite tock, though our first thoughts were the same as when we watched Napoleon Dynamite. When that movie finished we looked at each other and said, did we just watch that trainwreck?
Then the very next day we were quoting the movie at each other and laughing at the comedic genius of the film.
This week is all about the white martians, but is really all about relationships, some of which grow, and one of which gets mired into a tired old trope. We get to meet M’Gan’s mate, see a bit of an evil Wynn and despite the ongoing Super Problem, this episode was a home run.

Star Wars Theory Series is hosted by Pure Fandom Co-Founder Liz Prugh and her brother Patrick Pochop (talking about Star Wars is one of the only ways she can get him to hang out with her). They frequently have their other two brothers and self-proclaimed Star Wars experts as guest hosts. Each week they break down a new theory, and of course make fun of each other.
This week, Liz and Pat break down a new Star Wars theory that's been circling on reddit, from user AnakinKardashian (props to the ridiculous user name.) The theory brings some convincing points to lead us to believe that Emperor Snoke is indeed, The Last Jedi.
In this podcast, we break down the details from the Snoke/Last Jedi theory:
-What Luke really went searching for the last Jedi temple — is he trying to find out more about Snoke? -How old Snoke could be -What's the true definition of 'Jedi' is anyway? -What we know so far about the Old Republic -Kylo Rens lightsaber: It's been confirmed it's from Snoke, and it looks awfully medieval, which feeds into the Snoke being the last Jedi theory. -Bonus: Kickass games you can play and video trailers to watch that depict The Old Republic.
Our crew of five is down a man in this week’s episode as Eliot is back in Fillory to rule...he is henceforth known as King Shit. I liked Spectacular better but what can you do. The Beast spends the episode annoying Julia in the most delightful way possible and the duo try to recruit Hedge Witch Marina in taking down Renard.
Echoing an alarming reality, Incorporated brought things full circle with the season one finale. Ben killed, cheated and lied his way to the top of the heap. Yes, his intentions were honorable but the means left much to be desired. Poor Chad certainly could've done without Ben ruining the former exec's life for a promotion that Ben didn't truly want in the first place. By episode's end, Ben has reunited with Elena and he has his promotion. Laura has a new career and oops looks like she got that baby she wanted with her hubby. She doesn't look over the moon about the prospect, though.
Supergirl Season 2, Episode 10, “We Can Be Heroes”, aired January 30, 2017

This week's Star Wars Theory Series is talking about the hot news of the week: The name of Episode VIII! Now that fans know the title, The Last Jedi, the web began circling with theories. Liz Prugh, co-founder of Pure Fandom, is joined by her co-host Pat Pochop, as well as two guests hosts, Marty Pochop and Eric Prugh.
In this podcast, we break down the following theories:
-Is Luke "The Last Jedi"? Or, is Rey "The Last Jedi"? -Is "The Last Jedi" someone completely new that we haven't met before? -The Samurai feel: Mark Hamill has said this has a "Samurai" feel to it. We break down what that means. -How Rey could possibly go to The Dark Side — and why. -Does "The Last Jedi" mean the last of the community in general? -Maybe Luke visited this planet for a reason — was it a Jedi Temple from the Old Republic? -Old Republic vibes: Fans, we may get the history we've been waiting for. -Will Darth Plagueis finally tie into the story? And more!

ou know of Swayze? Of course, we know of THE Swayze. Yes, we have returned to Fillory and what an epic trip it was. Our Brakebills favorites are delightfully fluent in all things 80s/90s. Eliot became quite swoonworthy...well more so than usual as he took a moment to stage one of the most romantic moments in 80s movies history. Listen in as Brad and Cort break down, "Knight of Crowns."

This week on Star Wars Theory Series, host Liz and guests Marty (her brother) and Eric (her husband) break down the most ridiculous Star Wars theories circling the web. The most insane one? That Rey is hatched from a giant blue egg. No, we're not kidding. Even more ridiculous, we actually started to (kind of) get on board with this theory after flushing it out. Our number 1 theory about Rey's heritage is definitely the Kenobi theory, but this one is worth a laugh if you want to spice up your theorizing.
In this podcast, we break down the following theories:
-That Rey was born from a giant blue egg. -Luke and Leia actually had another sibling. -Rey is a Skywalker -Rey is Kylo's brother? (We breeze over this one.) -Rey is a survivor of whatever happened at Luke’s Jedi academy. -Rey's name isn't Rey -A whole lot more.

Well, that turned out nothing like Ben planned. Clearly. Good thing he left fail-safes in place just in case Hendrick started having second thoughts about recovering Ben's pre-Everclear memories. Hendrick was predictable that way and who can blame him. What Ben doesn't account for? Post-Everlear Ben teaming up with Julian (Dennis Haysbert) to solve Roger's death. Oops.
It's week nine of our Star Wars Theory Series, and this week we break down the casting and possible story line for the Han Solo film. While most of the film's details have been hush-hush, we still have a pretty good idea who recent cast Woody Harrelson will play, as well as Game of Thrones' starlet Emilia Clarke. Hosts Liz Prugh and her brother Patrick Pochop are joined by special guest Jenn Lisak of DK New Media.
In this podcast, we discuss:
-Who Emilia and Woody will play (most likely) -What two things MUST happen in the film. -Where Han's backstory could be pulled from -Bonus: We briefly discuss our topic for a future podcast — the insane Snoke/Sidius/Anakin theory.

Everclear is now operational and it’s a blessing and a curse for our brooding protagonist, Ben...Aaron...Baron. Laura continues confronting her worse fears and manages to meet up with Helo Agathon..sorry that’s not his name here.

One of the most popular new binges right now is Netflix's freshman sci-fi series, The OA. Reviews for the show (created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij) have been mostly positive. But whether you loved it or just found yourself frustrated, there's no denying it got you thinking. It's been a long time since we've seen a show that's given us so much to think and talk about. The internet has been rampant with The OA theories in the last few weeks, so we had to chime in.
In this week's episode of Talking TV With Liz and Lindi, we discuss:
-Whether the show will (and should) have a second season -The different theories that support Prairie crazy story and some parallels you may have missed while watching -Why some people are adamant everything is a figment of her imagination -And all kinds of parallel universe mumbo-jumbo that we don't even understand

We can't believe we're already on week 8 of our Star Wars Theory Series, but we can't believe even more is the insane Rey-Kenobi theory that's circling the web. MoviePilot.com recently posted about the Kenobi Theory regarding Rey's lineage, and we have to say, we're pretty convinced. If this theory comes to fruition, we can expect the cartoon series Rebels (and Clone Wars!) and the new movies to come full-circle.
In this podcast, we discuss:
The Kenobi theory for Rey's lineage: It begins with the cartoon series Clone Wars, then ties into Rebels, and how it could most likely explain Benecio del Toro's character and more of Rey's past in Episode VIII. Don't forget, all of these shows/movies are canon, so everything influences one another!

Thanks, Netflix!! Many Sense8 fans have been wondering where things go next for our favorite cluster. It's been over a year since Netflix revealed the show's season two renewal. On our Sensates collective birthdays no less! We finally got a firm premiere date a few weeks ago. While May 5th is still months away, Netflix did us a solid and dropped the long-awaited Christmas special on December 23rd.
While Ben struggles with the guilt of killing Roger, Laura’s dealing with her own personal demons. She’s worried about the little girl she was unable to treat from the Red Zone and tries to brave her fears in order to help her. We flashback to 2066 Laura and friends with a tinge of badass Julian and Mama Bear Elizabeth.
In week seven of our Star Wars Theory Series, we’re talking all things Episode VIII! Liz and her co-star (and brother!) Pat break down what the fans deserve from the second installment of the new continuation of the franchise — especially after the success of Rogue One.
In this podcast, we discuss:
-How many more films we need to wrap up the Skywalker storyline;
-What Rey's purpose is;
-Why we need more lightsaber battles AND force-ghosts;
-Why a villain like Darth Maul would be badass (not actually Maul, but a badass like him!)
-If there will be other Jedi in Episode VIII. Hey, Luke was training Ben Solo and others — it's possible!
-We also say goodbye to Carrie Fisher. Visit below for charities you can donate to in her honor:

Welcome back to the Underground, where Brad and Cort break down the latest episode of Syfy's Incorporated. This week's episode, "Profit and Loss" picks up where we left off. Elena's family restaurant burns to the ground and man does her father hate Aaron. He blames Aaron's grifting ways for the loss, but as it turns out the recruiter from last week went to extreme measures to ensure Elena would change her mind about becoming a sex slave. Yes, Brad was right on that count. Now, hush.
Brad and Cort return to the Green Zone to discuss everything that went down in the latest episode of Incorporated. Laura is all about making a baby with a hubby who secretly goes on the pill. Oops. We find out more about Ben’s past with Elena and his grifting ways. Theo has some hard decisions to make in his new role as one of Terrence’s lackeys.

In week six of our Star Wars Theory Series, we're talking all things Rogue One! We saw the film, and in a nutshell — we loved it! It was dark, beautiful, fan-filled, and an all-around kickass film. Plus, we're officially dubbing this movie as the film that made Darth Vader scary again.
In this podcast, we discuss: (Do not listen until you see the film — spoilers ahead!)
-Our rating for the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (what made it so badass!)
-Nods from the original films (Episodes IV-VI AND Episodes I-III). Did you catch them all?
-Special effects used to bring back characters from the original trilogy
-What made Darth Vader so freaking scary (for real, it was terrifying)
-Which side story Disney should produce next.

Brad and Cort return to break down everything that happened during this new episode of Incorporated. This episode shows us just what it takes to change companies in the future and what human resources SPIGA will use to get it. All thanks to Ben of course who had another agenda in mind. In an effort to help Rachel, Laura offers her services as a doctor to help a young girl which doesn't quite go the way she planned. Lucky for Roger, health care in the Green Zone can probably help him with that stomach issues he has from his Red Zone snack.
Van Helsing's Rowland Pidlubny joins Brad and Cort to discuss his role as the loyal vampire Scab. Rowland also shares some rather captivating tidbits about becoming a vampire along with how Scab received his distinctive sound. Listen in and find out what goes on behind the scenes of Van Helsing.
Brad and Cort are back to talk about that mind-blowing Van Helsing season finale. How about that ending? After a season brimming with twists, we honestly didn't see those last two coming. Thanks to Dmitri the season finale gave a deeper peek into Vanessa's past. Listen in as Brad and Cort speculate about the episodes twisty revelations.

In episode 5 (oh, how that pun never gets old) of our Star Wars Theory Series, we break down whether the BMF himself, Samuel L. Jackson, will make an appearance in Rogue One as the infamous purple-lightsaber-wielding Jedi Mace Windu. Joined by guest-host and Star Wars uber-fan Jack Pochop, the brother-sister duo geek out over the best theories around the web.
In this podcast, we cover:
-Samuel L. Jackson's comments on the Snope theory and why Mace Windu is most definitely alive;
-The Rebels cameo in the latest Rogue One trailer;
-The crazy theories about the character ties of Rogue One to Episode VII (seriously, these theories are insane, but are ones we haven't heard before!)

Brad and Cort are back to break down tonight's all new episode of Incorporated. This episode was all about downsizing. We pick up not long after the events of last week's series premiere. SPIGA does not respond well to corporate espionage, and Julian apparently went to the Jack Bauer school of torture. Chad, Laura, and Ben spend most of the episode dealing with the fallout from Ben's actions. The episode also offers a glimpse of Ben's connection to Elena, and the lengths that Theo will go to find his sister.

Could Jesus have been the one that slipped the note to Daryl? How much will Rick flip his lid when he sees Negan holding Judith? What exactly is Michonne planning to do? And when the f*** are we going to see Carol again?

Brad and Cort are back to talk the latest heart-wrenching turn from Syfy's Van Helsing. This week’s episode, "He's Coming" , picks up right where we left off last time. Vampire Sam is on the hunt for Vanessa and Mohamad. All isn’t as it seems with Mohamad and his plan to rescue Sheema. He’s actually kinda obvious...why oh why didn’t you pick up on those vibes Vanessa. The rest of the episode is chock full of goings on with the rest of our surviving survivors. We check in with Flesh and Brendan. Sam meets Mama. Dmitri finally shows us why he’s the vamp in charge.
It's week four of our Star Wars Theory Series, and this time we're talking all things kyber crystals. If you didn't know already, these crystals are what Jedi used to power their lightsabers.

Plus, this week has two special guests, Pat and Liz's two younger brothers, Jack and Marty. As usual, everyone teases Pat about his undying love for Episode II and Hayden Christensen.

Syfy's latest futuristic thriller, Incorporated, finally dropped tonight and boy are we in for an interesting ride this season. The show presents just the right amounts of desolate world and future tech steeped in reality. The year is 2074 and big businesses literally control the world. What's left of the world at any rate. Enter up and coming business exec, Ben Larson (Sean Teale) who is clearly up to no good, but for reasons.
Episode 8 of Supergirl, “Medusa” was GREAT! The writing in this episode was really fantastic. Despite this week being the mega DCTV crossover event, this episode continues the story lines of Season 2, but without packing too much into the episode. In this episode we’ve got some epic kisses, more aliens, a game of monopoly, and Mon-El flirting with Kara’s Mom?

The Walking Dead recap: Season 7, Episode 6, "Swear", Aired Nov. 27, 2016
In the latest episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, we're introduced to yet another community — Oceanside. Yes, another one. This week, Liz and Lindi break down whether all of these communities are really necessary to the storyline, and whether Andrew Lincoln is still getting paid his normal amount of money since he's been in about 30 minutes of season 7 (just sayin').
What do you think the meaning of the "PPP" key card is, and do you think Tara will spill the beans on the ladies-only community? Oh, and what the heck is about to happen to Carl?

The year is 2074 and as it turns out the future isn't all that bright. Syfy's new series, Incorporated, is set in the not too distant future where corporations have taken the place of now bankrupt governments. Most of the world has been decimated by famine and a collapsing eco-system. Protagonist, Ben Larson (Sean Teale) goes to drastic lengths in his effort to further infiltrate corporate life. Things aren't quite what they appear with Ben and his intentions. Allison Miller, Eddie Ramos, Dennis Haysbert, and Julia Ormand also star.
Brad and Cort are back to talk the latest heart-wrenching turn from Syfy's Van Helsing. This week's episode, "Last Time", finally revealed a truth that we weren't quite ready to hear. In weeks past our group of survivors have slowly dwindled in numbers. The events in "Last Time" leaves us with only Mohamad and Vanessa left standing. After returning to her family home and exorcising some old ghosts, Susan meets her untimely end at the hands of Sam. Yup, turns out, our loveable Sam has been the killer this entire time.
Brad and Cort are joined by a very special guest, Laura Mennell, to discuss her role on Syfy’s Van Helsing. Laura portrays the cold blooded badass vampire Rebecca on the series.
SuperTalk: Supergirl 2x07 - The Darkest Places
Episode Seven of Supergirl, “The Darkest Places” is “tock” in a “tick/tock” season of good/bad episodes this season. This week the jewel of the episode is the continuation of the Malex ship, but in addition to that we’ve got just too much going on. There’s a whole Guardian story line, a J’onn J’onzz arc, and the missing Mon-El arc.

This week on Talking TV With Liz and Lindi, we break down the latest episode of The Walking Dead, "Go Getters." We also discuss who on the show we have hair envy for and what we would personally have to offer Negan and the Saviors to ensure we didn't get murdered.
Also, can we all just agree that this is the worst "Carl, stay in the house" scenario yet?!

Van Helsing's Rukiya Bernard returns to discuss Doc's arc so far and what her character was thinking in THAT moment. The actress takes you into that moment when Doc hits that button and slams the door on Axel. What in the world was she thinking? Cort wondered that more than once in episode 1x09 and again in 1x10. Rukiya brings the light and takes us deep into Doc's psyche.
In part three of our Star Wars Theory Series, we talk about... The Chosen One! PureFandom.com co-founder Liz is again joined by her brother Pat, PLUS their dad Jeff "Pops" Pochop. Pops is the real Star Wars expert in the family!

Episode Six of Supergirl, “Changing” is TIGHT, except for one problem the Super problem. This episode shines with the continuation of Alex’s coming out story. In addition to that, Mon-El gets a “job”, we have some weak ass fights, and a well dressed callback to Smallville.

Liz and Lindi break down the latest episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, "Service." There were definitely highs and lows to the fourth episode of the season. Did we really need another episode (let alone 90 minutes) to show us how awful Negan is? Did Dwight really need to be such an asshole right when we were starting to feel bad for him?
And in light of the recent presidential election, we talk about who would survive a zombie apocalypse: Clinton, Trump, or Johnson? (Wait until you hear our Johnson theory...)

That did not just happen. Brad and Cort are back to talk tonight's all-new episode, "Help Out". Cort's dealing with a deep case of denial after that ending, how are you faring out there, survivors? That was one twist that was completely unexpected. At least until [spoiler] broke the one rule of every single horror movie/show ever. "I'll be right back". Never utter those words people, because you will not be right back. Unless you're [spoiler] as Cort insists after watching the episode.
We spoke exclusively with one of the stars of BBC America's Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, Alison Thornton, where she dished on her new show — and a possible 'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of the Rings' marathon with co-star Elijah Wood. Which franchise do you think would take longer watch?!

Episode five of Supergirl, “Crossfire” is JAM PACKED with story, but the BEST part of the episode is Malex! If you’re a shipper, the apparent bomb that sunk the ship last week was not as devastating as we thought! In addition to that we’ve got Jimmy feeling useless, Mon El comedically trying to adjust to life on earth and much more.

Welcome back, survivors. How blown away were you by tonight's all-new episode, "Little Thing"? The episode introduced a few new faces and boy were there twists throughout. It doesn't take the group long to find a new safe haven, but did they truly discover who the murderer was?
Season two of Supergirl seems is a bit uneven. In episode four, “Survivors” we’ve got an alien fight club, an alien amnesty law that seems more like the MCU’s Sokovia Accords, more Snapper Carr, and Wynn carrying the light hearted tone of Supergirl entirely on his shoulders.
Though this season has been a bit uneven so far, the themes Supergirl is tackling are both timely and important. Since this is sort of a second premiere season with the move to the CW we’re hoping things even out soon.
Be sure to share your thoughts on this episode in the comments. We’d love to hear what you think of Supergirl and what you’d like to hear from us.

Welcome back, survivors. How friggin' genius is Amanda Tapping's (Stargate) crazy pants direction in tonight's all-new episode of Van Helsing. Episode 1x07, "For Me, was easily the most stressful and exciting hour of the season so far. You never know what might happen next. Axel certainly had quite the surprise in store for the hospital's unwelcome visitors. It seems that he went easy on Brendan's group last week.

Welcome back for another all-new episode, my fellow survivors. How crazy were the revelations in episode 1x06, "Nothing Matters"? Cort and Brad have their theories about who the hospital killer might be and what's up with Doc and Flesh. What do you think? Also, was Axel justified in his actions against Brendan's group and what is that thing in the sewer?
Supergirl season two episode two, “The Lost Children of Krypton”, was not as strong an episode as the premiere, but it’s got some great moments. It’s evident that the move to the CW has shaken up the writing and storylines a bit.

The question remains not whether, but when Brendan’s group would’ve decided to take over the hospital. Also, who is running around killing people?
How cracked was tonight's episode, "Little Red and the Wolfz"?!? Cracked as in swimming in crazytown that is 10k's brain. Our boy made good his escape from Murphy with the meds from Dr. Merch. The episode takes us deep into that psyche of his and dude he misses Red. Also, Murphy uses his noodle, or Dr. Merch's to figure out all things science. He's desperate to finish the good doctor's work. It's that or go back to being human.
