‘Ted Lasso’ season 2 proves that predictable storytelling is more rewarding than shock

It’s actually pretty hard for Ted Lasso to surprise me. I’m perfectly okay with that, for the record. I do not believe that rug-yanking twists are a sign of good television. I don’t like the argument that a story being “predictable” makes it lacking or lesser, and the best thing about Ted Lasso season 2 was its subtle predictability.

Episode #153 – Adult Wolf

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but welcome back to a new episode of Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast. Natalie and Karen have dusted off their mics and came together once again to talk about the future of this show. With a Teen Wolf Paramount+ movie on the horizon, and more to come from Jeff Davis and the cast of Teen Wolf, there’s no telling what the future holds. But you can rest assured that Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast will be there every step of the way. Continue reading “Episode #153 – Adult Wolf”

Staffer Subjectivities: ‘Succession’ and 7 other TV shows that we can’t help following from afar

Have you ever found yourself following a TV show purely by osmosis? We have. It’s a pretty amusing experience, but also quite bizarre behaviour. Some of our staffers tell the story of how and why they got sucked into this situation for a number of shows past and present.

Episode #35 – In This ‘Til I Die

It’s the Supernatural Special Series that absolutely no one asked for! During 2021, Natalie is forcing forever-newbie Brittany to watch Supernatural in its entirety – an episode a day, taking us all the way to the end of the year to cover 15 seasons and 327 episodes. Although this rewatch is merely a social event taking place within a group chat “book club” of about ten good friends, we couldn’t help share some of our thoughts in podcast form, so you’re getting one episode per season, and we’ll be joined each season by another member of our Winchester Gospels Book Club. Continue reading “Episode #35 – In This ‘Til I Die”

Episode #34 – Goodbye Horses

Season 2 of Not About The Weather is here! There’s a new Presidential Administration and we feel like it’s finally safe to come out of our holes. We explain the reason for our longer hiatus and attempt to get back into the swing of things. On the agenda today: it’s trashy romance novel time for Brittany in both her hype and her gripe, Natalie takes issue with the lack of brand-new stories finding their place on television but hypocritically has plenty of praise for a new show that’s tied very heavily to some hugely prominent intellectual property, and Karen simply has too many books, as well as too many feelings about Mortal Kombat. Classic Karen. Continue reading “Episode #34 – Goodbye Horses”
