Fall has arrived, the past feels like the future, everything's a BIT topsy turvy here at Chatz Studios in sunny...well, it depends on what version you listen to. That's right, folks. Allen's Pickle this week is a dual Pickle where we discuss The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. We delve into the differences from the intros, the separate approaches to dungeon design, and why Nintendo should let Capcom cook more often.

Fatimah Nyeema Warner aka Noname just released her third album "Sundial" last Friday. The ChatzKidz both have meaningful history with her music, so for Allen's pickle this week, they opted to discuss all three of her albums: 2016's soul-infused "Telefone", 2018's eclectic "Room 25" and the surprisingly vulnerable 2023 release "Sundial". Topics discussed include the barrier between musician and fans, the shift in politics and style reflected in her music, and the questionable response to the backlash over Jay Electronica's verse on "Balloons".Entertainment Community FundMagellan's Substack newsletterCheck out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ Magellan's newsletterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

The video version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFkqLhswX8For nearly eight years, Chatz has been about two best friends watching TV together and discussing it like a book club. But what happens when we toss eight of the iconic Hot Ones hot sauces into the mix, toss that with a writer's and actor's strike, AND record the whole thing in Allen's bedroom? Well, we have our first Chatz Pickle, or suggested episode topic! This week, listeners suggested a Hot Ones interview, so Magellan and Allen took turns asking each other about comedy, inspiration, and more in this ridiculous send-up of the iconic First We Feast series.Entertainment Community FundMagellan's Substack newsletterCheck out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ Magellan's newsletterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

In preparation for the upcoming Chatz pivot away from television and film, we had a brief but productive chat while Allen hopped back into Elden Ring after nearly a year away!

Here at Chatz, we stand in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikers. This week, we open with a discussion of how we are interpreting the new FAQ guidelines they posted for podcasters recently, and what that means for the near future of Chatz. We always invite listener feedback since you folks are a huge part of the show, so sound off if you have thoughts on this decision one way or another. And next week is going to be another Couch Madness break since Should You Watch is on hiatus, so we'll be streaming on twitch.tv/chatzpod and posting the video archive to YouTube and the audio to here in the main feed!

It's 2010s vs the late 80s! A sequel to a beloved show vs a singularly beloved show! This week on Couch Madness, we debate the merits of creating a sequel to a previous Chatz season over spending at least a year of our lives in the world of Sam, Al, Ziggy, and Gooshie of course.

We went into this week's Couch Madness match-up clear-eyed and ready to make the right choice. But after discussing the pilots of Misfits and Heroes, things got...a bit heated in the second half. Enjoy our discussion of these two superhero shows with very different sensibilities, how we view the arc of a Chatz season, and who will go up against Stargate SG-1 in round 2.The bracket showing everything we're covering for Couch Madness (this will spoil the week's winner, so don't click until you're done or you want it spoiled!: https://challonge.com/chatzpod16 Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ Magellan's newsletterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

With DS9 now on the air and many of the writers handling that series, TNG season 6 finds itself at a fascinating crossroads. Sequels to old episodes, bizarre narrative conceits, and the departure of some of our favorite regulars leave the ChatzKidz feeling...well, actually they still got that dog in them this season!

The first round of Couch Madness BEGINS with a wild pair of US imperial propaganda shows that both share incredible vibes, some great performances, and lots of potential.

A new season is here, folks! As our TV watch club podcast has evolved, we've always tried to incorporate more listener feedback. This year, we thought a fun way to do that while still maintaining our silly, bracket-obsessed brand was to take the TOP 16 shows recommended by listeners and face them HEAD TO HEAD in pitched combat. This week, we're breaking down the science of how we got our top 16, who will be facing up against who, and what to expect for the next few weeks of the podcast. We hope everyone enjoys this semi-interactive episode, and we extra hope you're looking forward to whatever wins Season 16!Here is a link to a slide deck that visualizes much of the data discussed in this episode: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12zZ9DYog-ynCxDGvoew_jlpIJswOk_-Hk6NXqVPx9dQ/edit?usp=sharingAnd here is a link to the final bracket on Challonge, where you can also submit predictions of your own: https://challonge.com/chatzpod16 Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ Magellan's newsletterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: [email protected] main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/
