Severance S1E7 "Defiant Jazz"
The innies have HAD IT this week, and we don’t blame them. Also, Milchick has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (and well deserved) day. The smug motherf#$%r.

Severance S1E6 "Hide and Seek"

Severance S1E5 "The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design"
The Severed workers are finally starting to question Lumon and show a little bit of that defiant, rebellious spirit, in part because of (of all things) Dr. Ricken Lazlo Hale's The You You Are. Maybe that guy’s actually onto something…. Next up on Severance: S1E6 “Hide and Seek”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to [email protected] .

Fallout S2E8 "The Strip"
Okie dokey, that’s it for Fallout season 2! We thought it was a great season finale, packed to the rads with answers (the Enclave is behind it all, and the President is one of them), more questions (have Hank and Steph been a thing for 200 years or what?), and as f$%ked up and funny as ever. Thanks from all three of us to everyone for joining us for this series! What a freaking blast it is, right? It was so much fun to cover, and we especially appreciate those of you who wrote and called in (but we love all of ya). I (Jason) hope you guys all stick around as Karen and I start with Apple TV’s…

Fallout S2E7 "The Handoff"
This show hitting close to home for anyone else? It’s another fantastic episode, with Steph’s escape from U.S.-occupied Canada, and a Cooper-Maximus-Thaddeus team-up. We just wish the real world would stop moving closer to Fallout and start seeing it as the warning it is. PS We love you, Canada.

Fallout S2E6 "The Other Player"
Post-apocalyptic protagonists must pursue perilous paths, proving problematic. Power plays like a profligate poker chip. Past promises provoke painful perceptions of once proud parentage. Pivotal protagonists probe personal principles, prioritize protection, but postpone peace. (With thanks to listener Collin Stilwell.)
