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

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

    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

    Succession & A Lack of Other Hobbies

    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)

    Linda Cardellini Can Step on Our Throats

    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!

Perhaps my favorite podcast

I don’t know if there is any other program that dissects both prestige television and the current season of The Bachelor with equal levels of sincerity.

Jackson and Capri both have obvious talents for objective critical analysis, which is a major boon for the show, but I think what ultimately makes this podcast stand out is their unpretentious embrace of subjectivity.

Sure “A Million Little Things” is an unquestionably ridiculous show, but maybe it’s worth tuning in week after week just because you’re watching it with a good friend :)
