Join the ReWatchable hosts as they continue their re-watch with Sense8 season 2, episode 9, “What Family Actually Means.” Superfans: Danielle and Maj Newbies: Kristen and Natalie Fun Facts: Kristen is excited to see Ralph Breaks the Internet pretty soon after we finish recording this podcast. Natalie got up super early today, but she cheered on her Supernatural chums as they ran a marathon this morning. Maj has been watching A Discovery of Witches, and is enjoying it even despite a little cheesiness. Danielle is now officially a commuter for her job every day. Sense8 season 2, episode 9, “What Family Actually Means” - Synopsis - A quick check in with Wolfgang who is thinking about leaving town for good - Sun picks up her uniform for the gala and we talk about timelines and how these events on everyone's timelines line up. - Capheus has a convo with Silas after he catches Silas' men following him. - We can't help but believe Silas and give him a pass for all the unsavory things he's done. - Dani finds the perfect script for Lito, but it's a Hollywood film and that gives Lito some inferiority issues. - She then kicks serious ass and gets Lito a meeting with the movie's Academy Award winning producer. - We gush over Dani and her moment of triumph. - Kala is doing a little shopping and gossiping with her mom and sister. - Her attitude in this scene is a little off-putting. It's tough to hear her talk so negatively about women who have families and maybe don't prioritize their careers. - Skip ahead and Arjay comes for a visit. Totally weirded out by it. Both us and Kala. - We have a lot of feelings about Kala's terrible choices/indecisiveness. - Riley being in Chicago allows Will to visit his father on his deathbed despite not being able to physically be there. And then his father sees him, and we all start bawling. - And the newbies are both pretty confused as to what we saw in the basement flashbacks. The BPO story is hard to follow sometimes. - Nomi's story in this episode comes down to two moments: the toast and the wedding. - We disagree about whether Nomi's toast was a little too much about herself, but we agree that Teagan loved it and that is really all that matters. - The wedding. Bendix. Amanita. Nomi's father. Teagan. So much greatness. - Favorite Scenes - Favorite Lines Listener Feedback: - A listener wants us to consider Downton Abbey for future consideration. We shall see. Fisher's Forecasts and Kristen's Kontemplations: - Sense8 season 2, episode 10, “If All the World's a Stage, Identity Is Nothing But a Costume” Contact us!

Join the ReWatchable hosts as they continue their re-watch with Sense8 season 2, episode 8, “All I Want Right Now is One More Bullet.” Superfans: Mitch and Maj Newbies: Kristen and Caitlin Fun Facts: Maj is feeding a growing genealogy addiction; against the odds, Kristen believes in the legacy of Legacies; Caitlin is a proud new computer mom (it's pink!,) and Mitch reviewed two new games in a row, including a remake of the 90s favorite dragon, Spyro. Sense8 season 2, episode 8, “All I Want Right Now is One More Bullet” - Synopsis - Jonas lives! (Someone saw this coming) - We'd have to be crazy to 100% trust Jonas, especially since his life is tied to Whispers now. - Capheus gets a visit from an old adversary who holds him at gunpoint. - Lito visits everyone in his misery and depression. - Sun reminds him of everything he has to be grateful for, and Lito reminds her that it's okay to have a good cry now and again. - Lito's career may be in flux after being let go by his agent, but he definitely has a path ahead if he wants to take it. - Sun is hiding at a "love hotel" in Seoul. Cash only, easy to stay hidden. - Sun's brother is going to host the gala, and she's going to hide in plain sight as a bartender thanks to Lito's flashy skills. - We're a little frustrated with Kala's storyline. She's cheating on him, and the show is making Rajan awful to make her seem less awful. - Will is just kind of tagging along with everyone else in this episode as he considers dipping back into the heroin. Kala helps him resist. - Whispers talk time. - Riley and Diego are on the hunt for the academic. Will chimes in as necessary. - Nomi is down for the count thanks to a pair of troublesome heels, so Bug/Amanita facetime Riley/Diego and it's nice to see Amanita get some connection to another of the sensates. - Lila's shadiness comes to a head in this episode as she pulls Wolfgang into a trap (that he's well aware he's walking into). - The newbies aren't really invested in Lila's story. - It was really cool to see all the sensates reacting to Wolfgang and Lila's fight. - Favorite Scenes - Favorite Lines Listener Feedback: - An email from a listener regarding Kala's importance (and a link to an important article). - A second email brings up some Capheus inconsistencies and addresses some of our Angelica concerns.

Nasim reminds herself and us that academics aren't everything and we can still have fun and find joy!

Join the ReWatchable hosts as they continue their re-watch with Sense8 season 2, episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below.” Superfans: Mitch and Danielle Newbies: Caitlin and Natalie Fun Facts: Danielle is really excited about her new podcasting microphone. Natalie finally started watching the new iteration of Queer Eye and is really enjoying it. Caitlin is currently finding some (much-needed) happiness in mainlining Holiday Baking Championship on the Food Network. Mitch is crying over the interview between Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet. Sense8 season 2, episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below” – Synopsis – Wait, wait, wait. How did the rave happen? What was the plan and who was ACTUALLY there at the rave? - Like Jupiter Ascending, Sense8 is very much wish fulfillment and we should just not question this. - Let's talk about Puck, baby. - Puck makes Felix look like he should always be walking around in a tuxedo. - Natalie is 100% here for Mr. Hoy. - We can imagine the sensates in a variety of different genres because their story covers so many aspects of the human experience. - Who is the Cannibal? - Riley is told to go to Chicago... Alone. Why? - Nomi gets called out as being narcissistic and we all kind of agree on that point. She could've waited 15 minutes, heard her sister out, and not run away from the dress fitting in her underwear to go stomp around the ruins of a cabin in the woods. - Raoul burns down the cabin, but we can't decide how he was being controlled. - Seriously, what is UP with Angelica and why is she the WORST? - Sun's dog crying was the worst thing that happened in this episode because SHE'S SO PRECIOUS. - We take a detour and talk about London, Primrose Hill, and where exactly Riley and Will are squatting (which is SUPER exciting for those who have never been to London). - Lito does the São Paulo Pride Parade and it's so lovely. - Capheus 2.0 is the right iteration of Capheus to run for political office. Capheus 1.0, not so much. - Zakia's pansexuality is a really interesting layer to add to the show at this point. - Capheus' mom's stride of pride is definitely note-worthy. - The Kalagang sex scene is *very* uncomfortable and we hated every minute of it. - Kala's "fantasy" is really problematic here. - The Kalagang ship isn't sailing here. At. All. - Lila kills a LOT of people. - Favorite Scenes – Favorite Lines Listener Feedback: – This is the Queer Place points out another great line from last week's episode. - We get an email from a listener going through our Buffy the Vampire Slayer round who has some thoughts on the rules of vampirism. And we have a lot of our own thoughts in return. Caitlin’s Conjectures and Fisher's Forecasts: – Sense8 season 2, episode 7, “I Have No Room in My Heart for Hate” Contact us!

Join the ReWatchable hosts as they continue their re-watch with Sense8 season 2, episode 4, "Polyphony." Superfans: Mitch and Nasim Newbies: Natalie and Kristen Fun Facts: Nasim just spent a week vegging out and watching shows, which is basically the dream. Kristen is having a good day because her Lions won. Natalie is staring into a black abyss, but is also becoming a bear weirdo, so that's fun. Mitch has a two part woodland creature fun fact in honor of Natalie's love for them.

We discuss. - Nasim really appreciates the K-drama aspect of this storyline. - Felix is happy to partake in all the benefits of using the club, as he hasn't experienced this type of power before. - Wolfgang is a lot more jaded due to his life experience. - Lila has definitely made some sort of deal with the BPO to help them track down other sensates. - Kala and Wolfgang have a moment and we learn that maybe Kala doesn't want to be such a good girl all the time. - Kala and her mother-in-law go to temple which brings us to the montage of protests, uprisings, and car chases. - Capheus saves a baby at the water riot, and then goes on TV and says some incredibly moving, relatable things. - Riley meets a new sensate named Puck who is going to make more blocker pills. - Kala gets to use all her incredible chemistry knowledge. - Mitch is grateful that the show questioned the science for him. - Raoul was zombified, which is why he disappeared and his father never heard back from him. - This sequence was packed with so much information we all kind of feel like we need to watch again to see all the things we missed. - Jonas is being lobotomized and Will and Nomi can see it. - Angelica is confusing the hell out of all of us. - Favorite Scenes - A little Nomi talk because we skipped her storyline. Oops. - Favorite Lines Listener Feedback: - We got some interesting, varying responses to our, "Would you want to be a part of a cluster (if you had the choice)" poll. Thanks for all your thoughts!
