Are These Shows as Smart as They Think They are? The Good Place and Top 5 Rick and Morty Episodes Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

Jackson is joined by Professor Andy to talk about some smart shows and talk about whether they're as smart as they think they are. They start with The Good Place (0:00), cover its fourth and final season up to this point, look back at where it's come from, and look ahead to the end. Then they talk about how annoying Rick and Morty fans are and how it's probably the show's fault (23:04) and then name their 5 favorite episodes of the series anyway (35:08).

Succession & A Lack of Other Hobbies Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

Capri's sitting out this week so Jackson calls in guest Tater CJ to gush about Succession (the television show, don't worry Capri will be back!) and explain how 90% of their communication is through screencaps of the show (0:00), work through their feelings on Mindhunter's weird but brilliant second season (22:52), talk about how little they can personally relate to Netflix's Unbelievable but how the show helps expand their worldview (29:19), touch on the triptastic Undone on Amazon, and look forward to the show giving them the most nervous excitement: Mr. Robot (39:00)
Also, CJ gives a quick dive into obscure employment law and the classic Swedish case of two people in pig masks having public sex on top of a wooden monument. We've all been there right? (49:32)

Time is Fleeting Death is Coming: The Golden Tater Awards 2019 Jul 12, 2019

Show notes

The Taters celebrate (/dread time passing like grains of sand through an hourglass) the end of the first half of 2019 with some awards! They mean nothing.

Have You Ever Vacationed in Latvia? Jul 11, 2019

Show notes

The Taters are back! Lol we’re the worst, sorry. But seriously! WE BAAACK.
(1:50) The Taters go OFF on this season of the Bachelorette (destinations. villains. Heroes.). (18:18) We talk Big Little Lies and how Meryl has changed things, and (26:03) Schitt’s Creek and why it’s a shot of serotonin directly into our brains. (36:14) There are some manic rants about The Bold Type and (45:42) The Society. Also, Fleabag! GoT! More! Slap that playa button!

Linda Cardellini Can Step on Our Throats May 15, 2019

Show notes

The Taters are back from their mini-hiatus bringing you everything you could ever want. No, not student loan relief! Think again! Chats about The Act, Dead to Me, Santa Clarita Diet, and some riveting GoT banter, which one Tater watches and the other does not. Also included are rants about the magical but polarizing Chloë Sevigny, our Lord and Savior Linda Cardellini, and the absolute shot of serotonin that watching Bold Type injects into your central nervous system. Thanks for stickin' with us!

The Year of the Scammer Apr 17, 2019

Show notes

Oh hellooooo, buckle up because this ep is STACKED. The Taters cover: The Act (there's a great Gypsy Rose Blanchard impression in there), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Shrill, and the Catastrophe finale! Also: excitement about ~~~SANTA CLARITA DIET~~~, Capri's forays into bartending, and some iconiqué listener emails.

Julia Roberts is a Good Actress Mar 22, 2019

Show notes

The Taters make an official plea to ABC to renew Single Parents and an especially official plea to YOU, dear listener, to watch Single Parents. We think you’ll find it very………….convincing 😏. Also, BACHELOR FINALE. Fun for the whole family - they even break down the famed Fence Jump. Also, what do the Taters think of the new Bachelorette, Alabama Hannah? Capri guesses what True Detective is about without any prior knowledge, Jackson gives us his take on My Chemical Romance, and you get to hear about a recent trip to Disney World that ended very badly.

The First Three Minutes of the Good Doctor and Nothing Else (We're Back!) Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

The Taters are back after a loo0OOoooOOoooonG break. This episode was recorded in mid-February! Chats about: Russian Doll & Millennial dread, Sex Education (the Netflix show, not the traumatic class they make you take during adolescence), Capri's penchant for vulgar humor (but only when it's British), questions that arise during the first three minutes of The Good Doctor, the messy, messy, messy world of A Million Little Things, and of course, The Bachelor. Thanks for sticking around!

A Million Little Fyre Festivals Jan 26, 2019

Show notes

New York’s hottest club is: Couch Taters episode 7. They have EVERYTHING. UK & US diplomatic relations (Catastrophe), Joe Goldberg eating take-out in his murderous book-dungeon (You), John Dixon’s benevolent ghost that just follows you around giving you inspirational one liners (A Million Little Things), Billy McFarland’s dignity (BOTH Fyre Festival documentaries), and the child actor special. What’s the child actor special? It’s this thing where Capri makes some questionably judgmental comments about child actors but really recovers. She doesn’t hate kids. We promise.

The Sentient Thumb - Alternatively Titled: Will You Accept This Globe? Jan 09, 2019

Show notes

It's our favorite holiday, aka The Day of Our Lord Chris Harrison, aka BACHELOR PREMIERE DAY! The Taters celebrated by chatting about the newest Bach, making contestant predictions, and trying to decide exactly how they feel about being card carrying members of Bachelor Nation. Also, chats about the Golden Globes' major winners and losers with a dash of "Do Award Shows Really Matter?????" talk.
Bach Recap, changing landscape of reality tv: 15:38
Capri's Bachelor fantasy story: 23:21
Golden Globes: 30:10
