About this listen

Are you the type of friend who wants to sing the praises of your favorite TV shows, debate character motivations, and dissect writing, cinematography and acting choices — but none of your friends want to hear it? Ditch ‘em and come hang out with us! Two childhood friends come together to discuss and debate their favorite TV episodes, from 90s sitcoms to 2000s procedurals to the 2010s cable golden age and streaming shows today. Join us as we force each other to sit through our fave shows — sometimes going in completely blind! — and debate their brilliance or mediocrity.

  • S02E08 - Over The Garden Wall Episodes 2 "Hard Times at the Huskin' Bee" and 4 "Songs of the Dark Lantern"
    Jan 3 2026

    It's Kampy's turn for the animation Show Off with Over the Garden Wall. And she’s got a lot of splainin’ to do… about the history of animation! And how it all inspired this little miniseries that's unlike just about any other animated series out there. But does Amanda go for it? You’ll have to listen to find out. ;)

    We’re chatting Disney v Fleischer studios, spooky scary skeletons, animation as the wild west of the entertainment industry, Elijah Wood literally being in everything this season, beautiful background scenery but truly unsettling people, a pretty big gamble from Cartoon Network on this series, and some very very happy animators getting to do what they do best. Thanks for tuning in!

  • S02E07 - WandaVision Episode 7 + 8 Reaction/Review
    Dec 27 2025

    We’re in the final stretch of WandaVision with episode 7 “Breaking the Fourth Wall” and episode 8 “Previously On.” After our last discussion of episodes 5 and 6, Kampy’s got her theories dialled in and now, we find out if they’re right. 👀

    Discussion of these two episodes includes but is not limited to: Agnes as the devil and Vision as the angel on Wanda’s shoulders, our one and only mockumentary aughts sitcom style episode, breaking the fourth wall in at least four different ways, the intrigue of Agnes’ quiet mind, WHO is RALPH??, Agatha’s short traumatic backstory, Wanda’s much longer traumatic backstory, possibly the best line in the entire MCU, and the official introduction of THE Scarlet Witch. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for the finale next time!

  • S02E06 - The Legend of Korra 1X10 "Turning the Tides"
    Dec 20 2025

    It’s Amanda’s pick for the animation round of The Show Off and we’re kicking things off right with The Legend of Korra! Amanda’s hottest take in the history of the pod might be this: she likes Legend of Korra more than OG Avatar: The Last Airbender. BUT WAIT LET HER COOK— because the subtext tea in LoK is piping hot— and we’re getting into it in this episode.

    We’re talking animation style, incredible fight choreography, expanding the Avatar universe, Korra vs. Aang as the Avatar and their contrasting personalities, bigger swings in the themes of LoK, "my cabbages" energy, truly one of the greatest sacrifices in television history, and the incredible subtext that makes that sacrifice all the more powerful. On a kids' show!! (We stan Lin Beifong on this pod!!!)
