Who Won the Week?! Round 7
Jim and I discuss who won the week! A short week, as Better Call Saul took it’s ball and went home for Memorial Day, but Fargo and The Leftovers really came strong. Will Fargo have enough stuff to overcome the excitement of The Leftovers’ penultimate episode? Then we talk about Silicon Valley (00:05:12 ) and T.J. Miller’s career prospects for a bit before signing off. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wonder Woman (2017)
Hey everybody! DC has made a good post-Nolan superhero movie! Wonder Woman isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but Patty Jenkins directs Gal Gadot as a powerful avenging war goddess striding across the battlefield, but instills the heroine with enough human-scaled heart to keep us emotionally engaged. The film looks and sounds great, and Chris Pine is very good as a gender-bent damsel in various distress.

Twin Peaks (1990)
This community commissioned podcast is for the 1990 television series, Twin Peaks. Created Mark Frost and David Lynch, we can only imagine the impact this had on audiences 30 years ago as 30 million Americans obsessively tuned in every week to answer the question, “who killed Laura Palmer?” Jim ultimately doesn’t like it, but I see it’s potential and got a lot of enjoyment from the crazy tonal swings and quirky, off beat nature.

Who Won the Week?! – Round 6
You know the drill. Three shows enter, (HBO’s The Leftovers, FX’s Fargo, and AMC’s Better Call Saul) one show makes it out wearing the crown, taking the gold, hoisting the belt, etc. Another tough week with some epic losses of great characters on multiple shows. The big question on our minds; can anyone stop The Leftovers in their final two weeks? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cecily and A.Ron grab the mics to talk about the latest episodes of Hulu’s grim cautionary fable The Handmaid’s Tale, Starz’s incredibly violent and erotic American Gods (00:26:18), and Cecily talks a bit about the latest season of Netflix’s identity bending and exploring Sense8 (00:52:30).

Who Won the Week?! Round 5
Oh, man, the toughest week to call yet! The Leftovers, Better Call Saul, and Fargo all had particularly good weeks, and we still have to rank them for some inane, arbitrary reason. Who will be king/queen of the week? Also, we give an update on HBO’s Silicon Valley (00:09:36) before signing off for the week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alien: Covenant (2017)
Jim and A.Ron have seen Alien: Covenant, and declare it to be gorgeous, ambitious, and filled to the brim lofty ideas, but that it's also really, really stupid. Which is a shame, since that's a flaw that mired it's predecessor, Prometheus. Ridley Scott still knows how to shoot a film, no doubt, but has he forgotten how to put smart, sharply defined characters in peril without them being the dumbest, pettiest, most one dimensional humans alive?

Who Won the Week?! Round 4
It’s that time again, time to subjectively rate three dissimilar shows (The Leftovers, Better Call Saul, and Fargo) for no damned good reason other than that they all have the misfortune to share the same space/time coordinates. This week was even harder to call than normal, and for Jim it came down to an artful final shot, and for A.Ron the combination of a powerful, repulsive villain and an appealing buddy cop team carried the day. With a week this good, there are no losers, only winners. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
