CW: Discussion of rape.

“Did anyone else feel way too tall? I felt *way* too tall.”

Penny and Becky enjoy the silliness of Superstar, diving into Mary Sues and FanFic, alternate realities, wish fulfillment, Penny incorrectly remembers Newton’s Laws (she was actually talking about the Law of Conservation of Energy and the Law of Conservation of Mass), the plusses and minuses of Riley, Danny Strong, Chess on Broadway, Gilmore Girls, The Matrix, Wild Wild West, The Pitt, high heels, band names, leather pants, Xander’s myriad jobs, Heated Rivalry, and fan content.

Next time we’ll be talking about Angel Season 1 Episodes 16, “The Ring” and 17, “Eternity.”

Keep Slaying!

If only Manousos had made it to New Mexico a few weeks earlier as he intended, then he and Carol might have been on the same page — but it was fun to see them argue about it and then ultimately get there, and we’re very much looking forward to season two to find out what happens next. Karen and I are thrilled to be joined by David — a huge Vince Gilligan fan, a Podcastica host, and Karen’s hubs — to talk it out!

Thanks everyone for joining us for this show! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Karen and I will be back for Severance at some point, possibly in February, and we may check out a Vince Gilligan-written episode or two of The X-Files in the meantime. And if you’re looking for something else to dig into, highly recommend checking out any of the other shows this podcast covers.

They are….

Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.
IT:Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.
Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy.

We Beat the Dream Team (2025) Dec 25, 2025

Show notes

Reposted from They Did What?!, which you can find now or very soon at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastica.com/podcast/they-did-what⁠⁠⁠ —

In this episode, Kelsey and Gen take on We Beat the Dream Team, highlighting a 1992 scrimmage where a group of “college players” beat the most famous basketball team ever assembled. These were the same players who would have gone to the Olympics if not for the rule change allowing NBA players to compete. Are there unexpected personal connections? Yes. Is there gratuitous side-eye? Also yes.

Next up:

We're going to take a little break for the holidays and see you guys in the New Year!

Another killer episode, with Norm posing as a genetically engineered supermanager, Hank’s montage of exploding mice brains, Lucy apparently recounting all of A Christmas Carol to Cooper against his will, or the tragic story of Maximus’ losing his parents, among other things. Join Kasi and Jason as we talk it out on this twisted Christmas Eve. Happy holidays!

Other Wax Episodic shows:

We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows:

Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It’s sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen!
IT:Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.

Reposted from Still Slaying: A Buffy-verse podcast which you can find at Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast | Podcastica. Fun, in-depth talk about great TV.

CW: Discussion of sexual topics and rape.

“Because it's wrong.”

Penny and Sam and Dina welcome Dina to Still Slaying and the trio get nostalgic about the TV landscape at the turn of the millennium. The wide-ranging discussion touches on The X-files, future robot selves, trauma, stevedores, porn stereotypes, queer subtext (and text), whether we would have sex with a clone of ourself, masturbation as healthcare, Stranger Things, heteronormativity, Heated Rivalry and the progress in queer representation on screen, Don Quixote, rape, Outlander, Nielson families and Sweeps Week, Repo Man, spoilers, hopes for the reboot and the nature of evil.

Next time we’ll be talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 4, Episode 17, “Superstar” and Episode 18, “Where the Wild Things Are.”

Keep Slaying!

Is this the bleakest episode of The Walking Dead? It’s up there for sure. It’s also a fantastic episode, with our found family of characters persisting, enduring, surviving, and supporting each other even at their lowest. We’re happy to be joined by special guest Megan Lehman as we talk it out.
