Needs Some Introduction
As a lifelong film and TV fan I try to bring historical knowledge of narrative trends to my weekly analysis and reviews (and hopefully a bit of humor also).

A much better episode of The Patient, this week. I have some hope that the show has some surprises to come.
Plus, Sona and I discuss the vacating of Adnan Syed's conviction. (24:00)
Finally, we discuss Do Revenge, a fun (but slight) teen revenge comedy on Netflix. (41:00)

Another solid episode. We don't get a red wedding... but it doesn't go great.

Sona and I have seen a slightly better episode of The Patient, this week. But it may be too little too late for Sona.
Then Celia and I break down the very entertaining new horror film, Barbarian.

The show tops itself again with an episode about the power of sex; as a tool, as a commodity and as a weapon.

Sona and I discuss the third episode of The Patient on Hulu. We still cannot get our bearings on this show and we are not enjoying it, so far. The short run time which seemed like a positive, at first, seems to be a limitations, now, with these episodes unable to achieve any momentum before they are over.
On a more positive note we discuss Thoroughbreds which has returned to HBO Max. This first film by writer/director features two young actresses that have already begun to emerge as key talents of their generation and introduced a director (and writer) with a lot of talent and promise.

Another strong episode (in my opinion). The show is finding its footing. Celia has a little less patience for it. I do agree that there is a few too many council meetings.

If you just want to hear the Bodies Bodies Bodies review, jump to 23:00

We make it to the end of the season. I find this season less entertaining, overall, than the first. They needed to tighten up the mystery. Plus, where are the laughs? Everyone feels a little tired.
Then I recommend Bodies Bodies Bodies the new A24 mystery, horror, comedy.

We are happy to report that so far, the House of the Dragon gives us all the fan service we would hope for and some meaty new characters. Hopefully, the quality stays high.
Plus, I finally get all my ideas of how easily the final season of Game of Thrones could have been fixed.
For the rare few that are trying to avoid Game of Thrones spoilers, here are the timestamps for the spoiler-free segment of the podcast episode:
