  • Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron Preview/Trailer Podcast

    21/01/2015 Duration: 01h01min

    We're chatting Avengers: Age of Ultron, trying to piece the clues together and discussing what we are looking forward to. With the most recent trailer, we have a general idea of the movie, so we are diving right in. Is it James Spader as Ultron, Wakanda, Wanda, Hints to Civil War? Hulk vs Hulkbuster! We have tons of questions, lots of speculation, and a few answers. Check out the podcast and let us know what you think about the upcoming mammoth from Marvel. And check out the show notes below. How much of a team movie will Joss Whedon give us with Avengers: Age of Ultron? Will there be enough time for diving into the internal conflict? How big of a villain will Ultron be, and will he drive internal stories or external? What does it mean for Tony Stark if he is the creator of Ultron, as it appears he is, and how might that figure into the upcoming split for Captain America: Civil War? Will Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch be foes for very long, or are we being misled? How much might this complicate the plot? I

  • Sleepy Hollow 2.12 | Paradise Lost Podcast

    10/01/2015 Duration: 43min

    Sleepy Hollow returned from their dramatic winter finale with a bushel full of questions. What are the witnesses without an apocalypse? What will Henry do without Moloch? Is Abraham redeemable? Will we see our beloved Captain Irving once more? And while "Paradise Lost" answered a few of these, it left most of them open.  We chat about some of our favorite moment of the episode, share some of the lighter moments and go over a few news items for the week. With the return of Sleepy Hollow, we were excited for some answers. We both found the episode mixed, with a few nice scenes, but an overall story that didn't answer many questions or advance the narrative much. We go through our favorite scenes with a few clips, including a long discussion on Orion and the role of the fallen angel through the episode. We couldn't ignore the further developments of the Ichabod and Katrina soap opera, but we at least got to see the return of Orlando Jones's Captain Irving. Jenny and Hawley end up delegated to the silly pile, as

  • Sleepy Hollow 2.11 | The Akeda, Recap and Review

    05/01/2015 Duration: 01h02min

    We chat about the mid-season finale of Sleepy Hollow, "The Akeda". Moloch has been a thorn in the side of Abbie and Ichabod for too long, and the battle comes to a startling climax in this dramatic closer. We take a close look at "The Akeda", talking about our favorite moments, both heavy and light. The dramatic loss of Captain (he will always be Captain) Irving had us both shaken, but luckily the world of Sleepy Hollow doesn't hold death against you if you want to keep dropping by. We talk a bit about Orlando Jones and our hopes for not just him, but Lyndie Greenwood's Jenny as well. The fate of John Noble's Henry seems up in the air along with the relationship between Ichabod and Katrina. The finale was full of sacrifice and the best lines of the night came from Nicole Beharie as she slayed with lines like "I'm taking out Moloch!". The finale was full of drama, but luckily Hawley and Jenny were around for some lighter moments, and who doesn't want to see Tom Mison riding a motorcycle soon?

  • Sleepy Hollow S2 | Episode 9, Mama, Recap and Review

    21/11/2014 Duration: 57min

    We chat about “Mama”, episode 9 of Sleepy Hollow and one of its best episodes ever. Abbie and Jenny take center stage when a murderous ghost shows up at Tarrytown Psych.   This was Sleepy Hollow at its very best. Nicole Beharie and Lyndie Greenwood gave aware winning performances in this deeply emotional episode. The closeness of the two Mills sisters coming face to face with the mother who abandoned them was breathtaking.    In a season that has centered on Katrina and her captivity, it was a joy to follow Abbie and Jenny, as well as Orlando Jones’s Irving for an entire episode. This was a well needed change of pace, both with deep emotional impact as well as an interesting and much more subtle villain in Cynthia Stevenson’s Nurse Lambert.      This was Sleepy Hollow at its very best.

  • Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD S2 | Episode 7, The Writing on the Wall, Recap and Review

    17/11/2014 Duration: 01h12min

    We chat about Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD episode 7, “The Writing on the Wall,” as Coulson finally gets an answer to the symbols. Join us as we chat about blue aliens, Inhumans, Attilan and Ward’s present.   The symbols are beginning to take over Clark Gregg’s Director Coulson’s life and he needs answers. When they find that someone has been hunting people who knew about the symbols he jumps into the torture machine to get his memories back. In the process, we find out exactly how the Tahiti project worked and it’s connection to both the blue, Kree-like alien and the symbols he and others have been obsessively carving. But the symbols and memories are driving Coulson over the edge and Skye, Chloe Bennet, has to take control while the rest are hunting Brett Dalton’s Grant Ward.   By the end we have turned a page on Agent of SHIELD, with Coulson’s memory and Tahiti project behind us the Director can now take control and move towards their new object, an ancient city that might just tie into the greater Marvel cin

  • Sleepy Hollow S2 | Episode 8, Heartless, Recap and Review

    14/11/2014 Duration: 56min

    We chat about Sleepy Hollow episode 8 “Heartless”. Abbie and Ichabod face another of Henry’s monsters, this time it’s a Succubus and she is after souls. But where are the souls going after she sucks them up.    Katrina is finally free, but Abbie and Ichabod are still trying to figure out how to move forward. This episode once again addressed the issue of love and trust between Katrina and Ichabod. Katrina feels she must fight for Henry and believes his actions are driven by the madness of Moloch while Abbie keeps reminding her that he is also the Horseman of War and has shown very little to earn any favor with our scooby gang.     We enjoyed most of this episode, but once again the cast was thin. None of the side characters appeared in this episode beyond Nick Hawley. No Jenny, Irving or Sheriff Reyes. It also had a frustrating ending that seemed to take a few steps backwards. Yet, this was still a fun episode with a lot of nice character work from Nicole Beharie, Tom Mison and Katia Winter

  • Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD S2 | Episode 6, Fractured House, Recap and Review

    14/11/2014 Duration: 52min

    Director Coulson and the remnants of SHIELD have been trying to rebuild not just their teams, but their reputation, and this weeks episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, “Fractured House”, has Hydra placing them all in danger when an attack on the UN puts the blame on SHIELD. Sociopathic Hydra prisoner and former SHIELD buddy Grant Ward might be stuck in Coulson’s basement, but his brother is a powerful Senator, and now he’s going after SHIELD.   This was another great episode on this vastly improved show and we both loved the focus on Brett Dalton’s Ward. His turn from milquetoast SHIELD agent to menacing Hydra villain has been a blast. His cell-side chats with Skye have brought out the best in Chloe Bennet.      We also loved seeing a new Whiplash leading the Hydra strike teams. The razor whip fight scene with Ming-Na-Wen’s Agent May was a great matchup as she leapt and twisted over his whip while he spun around. This season has done a great job with cool and exciting villains and its a vast improvement over

  • Sleepy Hollow S2 | Episode 7, Deliverance, Recap and Review

    10/11/2014 Duration: 56min

    We chat about Episode 7 of Sleepy Hollow, “Deliverance.” Katrina is in peril from another curse by Henry, with a dangerous bun in the oven. Abbie and ichabod rush to save her, but they are going to need the help of Sheriff Reyes if their going to save Katrina.   We chat about the fate of Katrina and her on-going passive role on the show. Our hope is that “Deliverance” will be the end of her captive days and the beginning of Katrina the kick-ass witch that she is supposed to be. This episode also had a good dose of election humor. It’s always nice when a show knows its schedule in advance and can plan episodes like this that are going to air the night before a an event like election day.     Finally, we did get a small bit of Irving and no Jenny Mills this episode. Let’s hope for some real focus on those two in the upcoming episodes.

  • Sleepy Hollow S2 | Episode 6, And the Abyss Gazes Back, Recap and Review

    07/11/2014 Duration: 39min

    We chat about Episode 6 of Sleepy Hollow, “And The Abyss Gazes Back.” Abbie and Ichabod run into Joe Corbin, the son of Sheriff August Corbin, and he has a flesh craving spirit problem going on. Joe Corbin is a Wendigo.    Abbie and Joe have a complicated history ever since the Sheriff took in Abbie while Joe was still a young boy, but he has more serious problems. We discuss Joe and his Wendigo curse, along with its connections to Henry. We are still trying to figure out if Henry, “the son of Katrina and Ichabod,” still exists or if he has been subsumed as a servant of Moloch. By the end, his choices don’t seem to fare well for a happy family reunion any time soon.

  • Marvel's Agents of SHIELD S2.4 & 2.5 Podcast | Sequins and Secrets

    30/10/2014 Duration: 56min

    It’s a double-bill for our Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD podcast of episodes 4 and 5, “Face My Enemy” and “A Hen in the Wolf House”. Director Coulson joins Agent May in the field as they chase after a painting connected to the mystery symbols he has been carving and Kyle MacLachlan steps up as Skye's father. We start with episode 4, “Face My Enemy”. We loved seeing Coulson back in the field, and it was a blast to follow Agent May as she stepped out of her kick-ass boots and into a sequin dress and heels. But that didn’t stop Ming-Na Wen, who played no one, but two version of herself kicking some serious ass. In episode 5, “A Hen in the Wolf House”, we get our first close look at Kyle MacLachlan as Skye’s anger riddled father. With Raina threatened by Whitehall and Hydra, she is going off-script and changes everyones plans. Skye’s father is showing his darkest colors as he heads off to see Whitehall with the Obelisk and Simmons cover is blown at Hydra. Lucky for Simmons we have the amazing Bobbi Morse, aka Mocking

  • Sleepy Hollow S2.5 | The Weeping Lady Recap and Review

    24/10/2014 Duration: 47min

    We chat about Episode 5 of Sleepy Hollow, "The Weeping Lady", recapping Abbie and Ichabod against a jealous ghost from the past who will endanger not just Ichabod, but everyone he is close to. This week was once again light on the cast, with Irving again absent and Jenny making only a brief appearance. But we were rewarded with some nice character growth, specifically from the trio of Katrina, Abraham and Henry. We discuss their increasingly turbulent relationship and what it might mean to Katrina and Ichabod in the long run. Nick Hawley was prominent once again this week and lucky for the team he was, because the Weeping Lady might seem like a light villain, but she can cause serious harm and the stakes are set high right at the start. Overall, we thought this was another solid entry in this slightly slower season. It was great seeing a more complex relationship between Abraham and Katrina and trouble between Henry and Abraham - and how better to end then Moloch having a friendly little chat with Henry.

  • Sleepy Hollow S2.4 | Go Where I Send Thee… Recap and Review

    17/10/2014 Duration: 30min

    We chat about Episode 4 of Sleepy Hollow, Go Where I Send Thee…, recapping Abbie and Ichabod facing a Pied Piper who has cursed a local family with connections to Abbie. Meanwhile, Irving is still in Tarrytown Psychiatric and finally confronts Henry about their earlier deal.  Listen to the Podcast : This week we saw Abbie and Ichabod out on their own with Jenny, Sheriff Reyes, Katrina, and Abraham all getting the week off. With their troops thin, Abbie and Ichabod recruit privateer Nick Hawley to help against this weeks foe, a Pied Piper. There was a neat little story inside this monster of the week episode. A cursed family that is struck with a terrible choice and a monster out of fairy tales. That said, the monster was only so interesting and worked best when he was behind swirling visual effects. Former Captain Irving remains in Tarrytown, but we both loved his two small scenes. Seeing him fight in a black T-shirt and bandana in a future apocalypse was a ball of fun, and his closing realization about the d

  • Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD S2.3 | Making Friends and Influencing People, Recap and Review

    15/10/2014 Duration: 30min

    Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD S2.3 | Making Friends and Influencing People, Recap and Review We chat about Episode 3 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Making Friends and Influencing People, recapping Coulson and the gang as we finally find out where Simmons has been. She cross paths with the team when Donnie Gill, The Blizzard, arrives with a serious grudge. There were also some real fireworks when Fitz finally confronts Ward face to face.   Listen to the Podcast : This week we finally found out where Jemma Simmons has been. No, she did not simply run away from the damaged Fitz, but instead she is deep undercover at Hydra. We both loved the introduction where she walked to work like Mary Tyler Moore. It was great to see her out from under the constraints of SHIELD. She shined in the office as expected, but also while under interrogation and out in the field. The villain this week was Donnie Gill, who we saw last season at SHIELD Academy. The visuals were terrific again as we saw Donnie become The Blizzard in all but

  • Sleepy Hollow S2 | Episode 3, Root of All Evil Recap and Review

    12/10/2014 Duration: 59min

    We chat about Episode 3 of Sleepy Hollow, Root of All Evil, recapping Abbie and Ichabod facing a more subtle and devious attack, this time connected to both Benedict Arnold and Judas. Listen to the Podcast : This week we saw Abbie and the gang face some heavy times. Emotions ran hot throughout the episode as Henry put some fabled coins into circulation that amplified peoples worse thoughts. Things were already turned up after Jenny found Abby had withheld a connection between Reyes, the troublesome new Sheriff, and Abbie and Jenny’s mother. We loved all the great scenes this gave us, from Jenny’s rightful indignation to Abbie breaking down about her mother’s tragic end. Overall, this episode gave us some of the best character work the show has seen. Yet, no episode of Sleepy Hollow is complete without some type of historical connection. This week we went further back than just the revolutionary war as we found out the 30 pieces of silver from the story of Judas Iscariot were in the hands of Henry, the Horsema
