Episode 795: Ranking of Kings S1E22 & S1E23 Mar 29, 2023

We had some unexpected feelings about how this wrapped up, but it was overall enjoyable experience. Such a well-written anime.

Episode 794: Ranking of Kings S1E19-S1E21 Mar 15, 2023

Slowly getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for your patience.

This show is simply great. So much heart, great story, and a lot of action. Ouken is terrifying, but am I the only one hoping his brother will be able to cure him?

Episode 793: The Mandalorian - S3E1 - The Apostate Mar 08, 2023

We've made the first episode of The Mandalorian S3 premium podcast available for free.

Papa Pedro and Baby Grogu are back! We really enjoyed this first episode. I'd forgotten how much fun this show can be and how beautifully it's shot.

Episode 792: Ranking of Kings - S1E16-S1E18 Mar 06, 2023

Are... are we supposed to feel sorry for Miranjo now? Cause I kinda do. How is this show so good? They're developing the hell out of all of these characters. Can't wait to see what's up with Kage's new form.

Episode 791: Flower of Evil - S1E15 & S1E16 Mar 06, 2023

For as wild as this show got -- and it was wilin'-- this ending was surprisingly tame and to the point. Comeuppance was had and justice was served. Of course, we had to visit the afterlife first, but you know... wilin'.

Episode 790: Flower of Evil - S1E3 & S1E14 Feb 22, 2023

Hee-sung woke up from a coma playing chess while Hyeon-su playing Parcheesi. Embarrassing.

Shooting the Sh*t Before "The Last Of Us" S1E6 Feb 22, 2023

Before we discuss The Last of Us S1E6 "Kin" for our Patreon subscribers, we shoot the shit about what's going on in our lives, shows we're watching, and that The Flash trailer.

Episode 789: The Last of Us - S1E4 & S1E5 Feb 15, 2023

Episode 788: Flower of Evil - S1E11 & S1E12 Feb 15, 2023

Between Hae-su (the sister) and the maid, I don't know who was trying to die harder. But one succeeded.

Episode 787: Flower of Evil S1E9 & S1E10 Feb 05, 2023

Human trafficking? How we get here?

Ji-won is a hot-ass mess who can't make up her mind and now she's about to lose her damn job.

Episode 786: Flower of Evil - S1E7 & S1E8 Jan 30, 2023

Sure Ji-won feels betrayed, but at this point she's just being cruel. Either turn his ass in or come clean. Watching this man have a full-on panic attack listening to his dead mother hum a lullaby is just too much!

Episode 785: Alice in Borderland S2E7 & S2E8 Jan 27, 2023

A few things I think we forgot to mention:

1. Arisu's dad crying for him 😭

2. The girl who remembered what happened and knew it wasn't fireworks. Did she also know where they were? Seems so.

3. I should have been clearer that Karube and Chota mentioned that Arisu had help in all games, but not only from them. And they weren't mad at him, but rather wanted him to accept that and not spend the rest of his life apologizing for it.

4. Ahn's tear during surgery and later opening her eyes.

Podcast Announcement 1-25-23 Jan 25, 2023

Hey guys, after today's shows (Alice in Borderland for free and The Last of US for Premium), the podcast will be dark for a few days while I visit my dad in the hospital. Thanks for understanding.

Episode 784: Flower of Evil S1E5 & S1E6 Jan 23, 2023

The wife knows! (That damn watch strap.) But he don't know the wife knows! And we don't know what the fuck is going to happen next.

Episode 783: Ranking of Kings S1E13-S1E15 Jan 20, 2023

Boji's home! And no one turns enemies into friends quicker than him. Fingers crossed this ends with Hiling and Ann running off together.

Episode 782: The Last of Us - S1E1 Jan 19, 2023

We're covering The Last of Us exclusively on Patreon. Here's one-time free access to the first episode podcast.

Episode 781: Alice in Borderland S2E5 & S2E6 Jan 18, 2023

So many backstories! Heiya was a mean girl and Chishiya was a doctor! Didn't see that one coming. We're grateful Usagi found her fighting spirit again and has resolved to go back home.

The game in episode 6 would have killed us all 'cause that was too much math.

Episode 780: The Mayfair Witches - S1E1 - The Witching Hour Jan 17, 2023

Here's one-time access to our coverage of AMC's The Mayfair Witches, the latest installment in their Anne Rice Immortal Universe. We also covered Interview with the Vampire on our Patreon.

Episode 779: Flower of Evil S1E3 & S1E4 Jan 15, 2023

Ji-won got homie's watch in 4K. How the hell is going to get out of this one?

Episode 778: Alice in Borderland S2E3 & S2E4 Jan 11, 2023

I would have stayed in that Jack of Hearts prison for a smooth month playing that damn game. Sheeeeit. They had snacks!

Episode 777: Flower of Evil S1E1 & S1E2 Jan 08, 2023

Our next k-drama is Flower of Evil. How well does Detective Cha know her husband Hee-Sung? We're all about to find out after a recent murder reopens a serial killer case from decades ago.

Remember when Dexter was good? Well, this is like that but better.

Episode 776: Ranking of Kings S1E10-S1E12 Jan 07, 2023

Armed with new skills and a sword, Bojji marches to war. Also, new opening song!

Episode 775: Alice in Borderland S2E1 & S2E2 Jan 04, 2023

Arisu and his friends take on the face cards starting with the King of Spades.

Episode 774: Kindred - S1E1 - Dana Dec 31, 2022

Dana makes enough poor life choices in present day (Kevin, really?) so time traveling back to slavery is just cruel.

Episode 773: Ranking of Kings - S1E7-S1E9 Dec 31, 2022

So, add King Bosse to the long list of shitty anime dads?

Episode 772: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - S1E15 & S1E6 Dec 31, 2022

"Though my life is unusual and peculiar, it is valuable and beautiful."

Indeed.

Episode 771: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Episodes 13 & 14 Dec 08, 2022

A last-minute business trip to Jeju Island reveals the beginnings of a new romance and a road bump for another.

Episode 770: Ranking of Kings S1E4-S1E6 Dec 04, 2022

We felt this betrayal in our bones. Yet, these episdoes had a pretty big reveal: Bojji and Kage are both cursed?

Episode 769: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - S1E11 & S1E12 Dec 01, 2022

Two episodes filled with misogyny. Good thing Woo Young-woo is a badass.

Episode 768: The Walking Dead - S11E24 - Rest in Peace Nov 29, 2022

Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend.

We're surprisingly sad to see this show go. 11 seasons - some great and some not so - culminated in a satisfying finale that nicely set up the spinoffs.

Episode 767: The Walking Dead - S11E23 - Family Nov 19, 2022

Can we please stop shooting the Grimes children? Who will kill Pamela? Will Rick and Michonne return for the finale? Are we even ready for this series finale?

Episode 766: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Episodes 9 & 10 Nov 18, 2022

One of the things we really love about this series is how it highlights serious issues in South Korean society. This week it's the push by parents to have their kids be successful in school and the lack of care and understanding given to folks with autism.

Episode 765: Itaewon Class - Episodes 13-16 Nov 18, 2022

Itaewon Class comes to a very satisfying conclusion. In 16 episodes it examined class status, prejudice against the trans community, and who gets to be considered Korean. Oh, and some good old-fashioned revenge.

Episode 764: The Walking Dead - S11E22 - Faith Nov 11, 2022

As Negan considers a deal with the warden, Mercer considers the future of The Commonwealth.

Episode 763: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - S1E7 & S1E8 Nov 08, 2022

Rumors of Attorney Woo's special treatment swirl around Hanbada thanks to Attorney Kwon. The team takes on a case to keep a very special town together.

Episode 762: Itaewon Class - Episodes 11 & 12 Nov 08, 2022

With Geun-won in prison, Geun-soo looks to be getting his villain clothes ready. There's a surprising connection between Toni and Mrs. Kim, and it may be the answer to Saeroyi's problems.

Episode 761: The Walking Dead - S11E20 & S11E21 Nov 08, 2022

Pamela Milton has Eugene hunted for the death of her son. Meanwhile, Maggie, Darly, Carol, Rosita, and Gabe find the others have been taken to a very familiar place.

Episode 760: House of the Dragon - S1E10 - The Black Queen Oct 30, 2022

We look forward to supporting all of Rhaenyra's war crimes in season 2.

Episode 759: Ranking of Kings - S1E1-S1E3 Oct 30, 2022

In which we devote our hearts to Prince Bojji, first of his name.

Episode 758: The Walking Dead S11E18 & S11E19 Oct 25, 2022

Y'all weren't gonna tell me walkers are climbing ladders and turning doorknobs now?

Episode 757: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - S1E5 & S1E6 Oct 23, 2022

When Hanbada takes on a case involving ATMs, it cements for Woo Young-woo the type of attorney she wants to be. Episode 6, "If I Were a Whale" focuses on a North Korean defector and the power of a mother's love.

Episode 756: House of the Dragon - S1E9 - The Green Council Oct 21, 2022

That castle was dark, dank, and full of treason. Delicious, frustrating, dragon-killing treason.

Alicent is ready to usurp Rhaenyra's crown before she ever gets to wear it based on a misunderstanding, but draws the line at not being involved in the planning all along... despite knowing ALL ALONG this is what her father was going to do. Criston Cole continues to murder with impunity and Rhaenys is very selective about who she murders with her dragon (but whatever; it looked amazing). Oh, and we hanging Lords in the foyer and there was foot play. It was a lot and it's not even the finale.

Episode 755: Itaewon Class -Episodes 9 & 10 Oct 15, 2022

Saeroyi helps those around him in order for his new business location to succeed; after Geun-won messes up again, Jang has to choose between his son and his company.

Episode 754: House of the Dragon - S1E8 - Lord of the Tides Oct 15, 2022

Vaemond said the quiet part out loud. War soon come.

Episode 753: The Walking Dead - S11E17 - Lockdown Oct 09, 2022

Carol and Negan rush to find leverage against Hornsby.

Episode 752: House of the Dragon - S1E7 - Driftmark Oct 07, 2022

There was so much treason going on. And that child just colonized a dragon.

Episode 751: Itaewon Class - Episodes 7 & 8 Oct 07, 2022

Saeroyi stays a step or two ahead of Jang with the help of a not-so-secret-anymore alliance. We finally get a bit of Toni's storyline and the prejudice and racism he faces as a Black Korean.

Episode 750: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - S1E3 & S1E4 Oct 03, 2022

Attorney Woo defends an autistic young man accused of murdering his brother, and we see the origins of the bestest besties.

Episode 749: House of the Dragon - S1E6 - The Princess and the Queen Sep 30, 2022

Ten years later and Criston Cole is still employed and still a whiny, masogynistic bitch and petty Queen Alicent is only too willing to fuel his insecurities as he fuels hers.

Episode 748: Itaewon Class - Episodes 5 & 6 Sep 25, 2022

I'm not holding my breath that I'll get it, but I'm shipping Saeroyi and Yi-seo something fierce. Saeroyi continues to be the type of character who brings out the best in those around him -- making him the natural enemy of someone like Jang who poisons everyone -- and it's going to be interesting to see if his ragtag crew can really pull this off.

Episode 747: Extraordinary Attorney Woo - S1E1 & S1E2 Sep 25, 2022

So happy I got the family to sit down and watch what has become one of my favorite k-dramas. Here, we get to know Woo Young-woo, the first autistic attorney in South Korea, through her first two cases.

Episode 749: House of the Dragon - S1E5 - We Light the Way Sep 25, 2022

No one wants off this mortal coil more than Viserys Targaryen and we get it.

Episode 746: House of the Dragon - S1E4 - King of the Narrow Sea Sep 16, 2022

The only thing open during the hour of the owl is legs.

Episode 745: Itaewon Class - Episodes 3 & 4 Sep 11, 2022

Yi-seo has entered the chat and just like that our alliance has shifted. Hey, we're a sucker for a wild child with no filter. On the slow burn revenge front: FIFTEEN years? Saeroyi has a 15-year plan to take down Jang. This man has been living off nothing but petty and spite. And we approve.

Episode 744: House of the Dragon - S1E3 - Second of His Name Sep 09, 2022

All a king wants to do is celebrate the second name day of the son he had with his daughter's bestie. Oh, and marry said daughter off to a Lannister frat boy. He doesn't want to be bothered with a war that he's losing or quieting the whispers that call for his daughter's removal as his heir.

And that's why we won't have nice things and I can't believe dragons will die for this.

Speaking of dragons...

Those Targaryen boys just built different. Fueled by nothing but petty spite, Daemon ended the war in the Stepstones in five minutes, all so he wouldn't have to thank his brother for the help he didn't ask for. I stan forever.

Listen as Sarah and I break down the latest episode of Viserys, What Is You Thinking?

Episode 743: Paper Girls - S1E8 - It B Over Sep 09, 2022

We end the season with the Paper Girls separated, but with a clear mission: don't invent time travel! No idea where Mac and KJ were sent (hopefully someplace without dinosaurs), but Tiffany and Erin are in the '70s. I hope it's kind to little Black and Chinese girls.

Episode 742: House of the Dragon - S1E2 - The Rogue Prince Sep 03, 2022

If there's one thing King Viserys is gonna do every time, it's make the wrong damn decision. Not that marrying a 12-year-old would be BETTER... What he needs to do is worry about those festering wounds and just let his daughter learn to rule from someone who actually knows how to do it. But, alas... he's in love or whatever.

Thankfully, Corlys and Daemon are both over it and it looks like we'll get some action dragon next week. And can we please, please, please keep precious Laena away from King's Landing until she's at least 30?

Episode 741: Paper Girls - S1E6 & S1E7 Sep 03, 2022

Adult Tiff is amazing and we're happy KJ found someone to talk to about her love of "movies."

Episode 740: House of the Dragon - S1E1 - Heirs of the Dragon Aug 26, 2022

Set nearly 200 years before they did my girl Dany dirty (I’m not interested in arguing with you about this), House of the Dragon is follows the events in George RR Martin’s 2018 book Fire & Blood — the first of two volumes detailing the rise and fall of the Targaryen dynasty. Because the show begins at the halfway point of volume one, we don’t get to see Aegon and his sister-wives bring Westeros to heel. Instead, we’re in the year 101 A.C. when King Jaehaerys I names his grandson Viserys the Prince of Dragonstone and rightful heir to the Iron Throne. This sets off decades of betrayal and infighting (and incest) that culminates in the infamous Dance of the Dragons.

As odd as it sounds, it felt good to be back in this world of political machinations, tragic pregnancies, violent jousting, and dragons. Oh, so many dragons. Sarah and I discussed the season premiere, providing a bit of Westerosi history along the way.

Episode 739: Itaewon Class - Episodes 1 & 2 Aug 24, 2022

We love an old-fashioned tale of revenge and when it comes with a side of questioning class, privilege, and belonging in South Korea, even better. And if it stars Park Seo-Joon? Well, now Itaewon Class is just showing off.

We were instantly invested in the relationship between Park's ex-con turned bar owner Park Saeroyi and his hardworking, generous father played by Son Heung-Ju.

To be a week ahead with our Itaewon Class podcasts, subscribe to Project Fandom on Patreon.

Episode 738: Paper Girls - S1E4 & S1E5 Aug 23, 2022

We knew the inappropriate yet oddly sweet bro-sis reunion would be short-lived, but it still sucked to see Mac bawling on the back of that bike. Next up? Just how disappointing will future Tiff be?

Episode 737: She-Hulk - S1E1 - A Normal Amount of Rage Aug 23, 2022

Even though the episode hit all the beats of a series premiere (origins of the hero’s power, training montage, etc.), it still felt like a 30-minute cold open and that’s fine. It set up the quirky tone of the show nicely with hints of higher stakes and bigger dangers to come. Tatiana Maslany shines, but those of us who loved Orphan Black expected as much.

This a special free listen to our Premium coverage of She-Hulk. To listen to us discuss the full season, subscribe on Patreon.

Episode 736: The Sandman - S1E1 & S1E2 Aug 14, 2022

Not having read the graphic novel series, my anticipation for Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Sandman was based on solely on my love of Neil Gaiman’s other works (American Gods), the visuals in the trailer, and the diversity of the cast. Everything delivered in the first two episodes. Charles Dance’s Roderick Burgess was like if Tywin Lannister went to Hogwarts — and you know he’d have been Slytherin — and Tom Sturridge is about to AMSR his way into reading some Buzzfeed thirst tweets. It’s not until episode two, when Sturridge’s Morpheus witnesses the cost of his absence, that things get truly beautiful.

Episode 735: Paper Girls - S1E2 & S1E3 Aug 13, 2022

We doubled up and covered two episodes this week because Paper Girls is just so damn good. The time travel, healing robotic insects, and giant mech are all cool, but the best moments continue to be the ones in which the girls bond. Those scenes are so well-written and the actors bring them to life in a way that feels natural. A few highlights include KJ calling out Mac for the hate speech she repeats, Mac and Erin clearing the air after that whole “you shot me in the gut” thing, and the four new friends unpacking what it means to be decades ahead of all the people and things they love.

We’ll be reviewing episodes 4 and 5 together for next week’s Paper Girl podcast. Really looking forward to seeing adult Tiffany and more of Mac coming to terms with the news about her health and her oddly wholesome relationship with her brother.

Episode 734: Money Heist Korea - Joint Economic Area (Part One) Aug 08, 2022

In Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area, the reunification of North Korea and South Korea promises economic prosperity for all. In reality, the rich got richer, the poor got poorer, and in that widening gap a criminal mastermind hatched a plan.

Episode 733: Week of 8-7-22 Aug 07, 2022

What we have coming up this week and beyond. Send show feedback to feedback@projectfandom.com.

Episode 732: Paper Girls - S1E1 - Growing Pains Aug 04, 2022

Based on the graphic novel by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, Paper Girls is a live-action 8-episode series set in the '80s and follows four girls on their morning paper route. Too bad it's the morning of Hell Day.

Episode 731: Only Murders in the Building - S2E3-S2E5 Jul 29, 2022

We take a break from all the murder with two thoughtful, but still hilarious, episodes focusing on Bunny's surprising connections with those around her and a look into the interrupted father-daughter bond between Charles and Lucy. We might be back to murder soon enough as it seems the newly released Teddy is Will's real father?

Episode 730: Absurd Trolley Problems Jul 14, 2022

Don't judge us.

Episode 729: Only Murders in the Building - S2E1/S2E2 Jul 05, 2022

So, Bunny's mom did it, right? Also, if there's a next victim, I nominate Amy Schumer.

Episode 728: The Staircase - Episode 7 Jul 05, 2022

There were some tech difficulties in three spots so there may be a jump in the conversation but it shouldn't be anything too bad.

Another good episode. We all hope Kathleen really did read Michael's ass for filth.

Episode 727: Westworld - S4E1 - The Auguries Jun 30, 2022

One episode in and we're already arguing over which world is real.

Welcome back, Westworld. We missed you.

Episode 726: Ms. Marvel - S1E1 - Generation Why Jun 30, 2022

She's perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

Episode 725: The Staircase - Episode 6 Jun 02, 2022

Why did I want to see the owl theory? HOWEVER, listening to Sarah describe how it scared the shit out of her and how Ellen thought it would be like a scene in a '90s Debra Winger movie made it all worth it. We all agreed this episode felt the most "TV" so far, but we enjoyed it.

Episode 724: Obi-Wan Kenobi - Episodes 1 & 2 May 31, 2022

This did not disappoint. Dare I say, it was even better than I thought it would be? Young Leia, an Obi-Wan filled with doubt, a reckless and frightening Inquisitor in Reva, more cute droids, new locations and old favorites. Plus, that reveal at the end of episode 2. I have zero complaints.

Episode 723: The Staircase - Episode 5 - The Beating Heart May 25, 2022

Michael stay getting ass and I don't know how. Also, did... did he join a Black gang? That footage had Sophie down bad.

Next week: Hoot-Hoot

Episode 722: The Staircase - Episode 4 - Common Sense May 21, 2022

Still enjoying the way they're telling the story, complete with the reenactments of the different theories. The manipulation of the daughters is hard to watch, though. As is the obvious pure-T homophobia.

Episode 721: Pachinko - S1E7/S1E8 - Chapters 7 and 8 May 18, 2022

First, special thank you to Julie for co-hosting with me and for agreeing to help me cover season 2!

The Hansu episode was tragic, yet beautiful. While it doesn't excuse anything he has done thus far, it does explain a lot. Little is Noa is a spark plug! I'm most looking forward to learning where he is in "present" especially now that we know Hansu came sniffing around. Ugh. And I just know he had something to do with Isak's arrest. Season 2 can't get here soon enough.

Episode 720: Halo - S1E3 - Emergence May 16, 2022

Cortana was like, you must not know 'bout me.

Episode 719: Pachinko - S1E5/S1E6 - Chapters Five & Six May 16, 2022

Cruelty really is the point. Everything about life for Koreans in Osaka was as hard as Hansu said it would be, but my god won't marginalized folks find a way to have joy? The birth of Noa was a beautiful moment and cemented this new household as a family. I'm so happy this will be back for a second season. Julie and I will be back next week to talk about the final two episodes of season one.
