Chatz: A Television Podcast

To give ourselves time to sync up with the eight individuals comprising Chatz across the world (it's really just us right now...unless...) we are re-broadcasting a formerly Patreon-exclusive episode of PilotChatz, where we watch TV pilots and decide if they're worthy of covering in full on the main feed. Next week we'll be back with our first full discussions of the pilot and S1E2, so stay tuned for the new season of Chatz!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/

When Picard said "make it so," we didn't realize he meant make it so...good! (Season 3 of TNG, that is). This time around we engage with some brewing tensions with the Romulans, your classic Troi/Riker/Crusher have crushes episodes, and some of the very best that this show has to offer so far.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: [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/

Let us go back to a time when event television meant discussing the latest goings on in Westeros. Or perhaps when a trip to the movies meant checking in with Frodo and his little friends? This month on Should You Watch, we discussed the FIRST HALVES of HBO's House of the Dragon and Amazon Prime's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power's first seasons. Did we like them? Are they worth a watch? Find out in our newest podcast episode!

Well, this is it folks. Kevin takes one last exciting trip to dream world to find some answers we may or may not have needed. And then, in the series finale, Nora and Kevin have a totally chill conversation with no massive implications or touching conclusions whatsoever. (Seriously, it's one of the best scenes in television)Stay tuned to the end of this meaty episode for our announcement of the next season of Chatz, as well as what you'll be seeing on your feed for the next few weeks!Works Referenced:PSA: The pilot wasn't supposed to show the other sideJustin Theroux Finally Answers the Biggest Question About ‘The Leftovers’ EndingThe Leftovers: Yes, Nora LiedCheck 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/

We reference this article in the first half of the episode. I promise it'll make sense: https://www.avclub.com/this-lion-fucks-1844904182The second episode discussion features a very frank discussion of suicide and self-harm. The National Suicide Hotline number is 9-8-8. If you are uncomfortable with any aspect of that discussion, we encourage you to skip part 2. We loved "Certified", in many ways because it is a tough one to process, but we wouldn't begrudge anyone for skipping.

Kevin Sr. begins a walkabout of sorts, which is fine and good I guess. But then his tale intersects with one of the mysterious horsemen from last week, and we're off to the races. In our second episode discussion, we break down the crumbling relationship of Kevin and Nora, and look for a source of hope. The Leftovers is barreling towards its conclusion, and we're just along for the ride at this point.Friend of the podcast Ryan Sliwinski provided us with some films and shows by and about Aboriginal Australian people that portray their culture well:Some classic filmsRabbit Proof FenceThe NightingaleBran Nue DaeSamson and DelilahTV showsClevermanRedfern NowTotal ControlThe Secret Life of UsEmily St. James's review of the episode "Crazy Whitefella Thinking": https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/4/30/15479274/the-leftovers-episode-3-recap-crazy-whitefella-thinking-australiaCheck 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/

The Leftovers season 3 opens with a bang as the Guilty Remnant situation is taken care of, parallels are made in the distant past, and the future looks...stranger. Perfectly so, you might say. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today...is a new episode of The Chatzovers!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/

Anne Sexton once said "Poor thing. To die and never see Brooklyn." Lucky for you, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Chatz: A Television Podcast are here to save you from that fate.

Magellan and Allen take the week off to read some fascinating deep dives on The Leftovers, its relevance in 2015, other takes on its relevance to COVID, and a new take on "International Assassin".

There's no problem that a good karaoke night can't fix. That's Kevin's solution at least as he slams into the end of the Jarden plotline and Season 2 of The Leftovers as a whole. Meanwhile, the missing girls are no longer missing, families struggle to keep it together, and we look forward to next season, which neither Allen nor Magellan have seen...EDITOR'S NOTE: We mention this at the bottom of the episode, but we will not be starting Season Three next week! With Magellan still traveling, we didn't want to lose our buffer time between recording and release, so next week's podcast is an overall discussion of the season so far with the help of some articles written about it.

This week on The Chatzovers, Kevin barrels towards his fate to get rid of the Patti in his mind. John suspects something isn't right though, and Kevin takes the final plunge towards...a career in espionage? International Assassin is a well-regarded episode of television, often cited as one of modern TV's best. Does it actually hold up in isolation, or does it rely on the foundation laid in Season 2?

This week on The Chatzovers, those two boats and a helicopter didn't get Matt Jamison very far at all, and he finds himself on a morally complicated hero's journey getting back to Jarden.

It's time for a major scenery change as we say goodbye to Mapleton (for now!) and travel with the Garveys to Jarden, Texas. Can a town with no departures be truly safe?

This week, we spend some time thinking about the past, and how everything seems better in hindsight. Were the Garveys ever truly at their best? Or was it just time and distance that made time before The Departure seem so nice? And in our second half, we discuss the climactic events in Mapleton, and ponder the future of the family at the center of it all.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/

What is a body but a mass of flesh, bones, and ideology? "Gladys" attempts to discuss this question and more to mixed results, and "Guest" centers Nora Durst on what seems to be a totally normal conference trip. But before she straddles a plastic corpse, stops someone from blaming the Mossad regime, and gets a big friendly hug, she invites someone over to her house for some company...maybe Miami wasn't such a bad idea.

Editor's Note: If you're already a patron and you want to skip past the PilotChatz discussion, jump ahead to 53:20 for the new content!Welcome to The Chatzovers, a Leftovers podcast hosted by Allen and Magellan of Chatz. We're really excited to be discussing this show with first-timers and rewatchers alike, and we hope you enjoy the ride along with us. The first 50 minutes of this episode are an episode of "PilotChatz" our Patreon-exclusive show where we watch TV pilots and discuss them in depth. After that, we return to the pilot several months later with some extra thoughts before diving into the much more plot-heavy "Penguin One, Us Zero". We should be sticking to two episodes a week for this season, so come back next week for another pair of discussions, and as always thank you so very much for listening.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: [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/

It's time to shift gears in this week's episodes of Drive as we steer into a darker tone. Car phrases considered but not incorporated into this joke include: floor it, glovebox, muffler, oil change, uh... trunk, spare tire, y'know... headlights, rearview mirror, stuff like that.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: [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 order to get this next joke, you need to be familiar with both Moon Knight and the Dominic Fike song "3 Nights": "Three Knights in the body / Under starlights / In the tomb of Amit / Khonshu what you want, well you're not a great boss / But you can call me (Mark) if you spare my wife".

VROOOOOM, and away we go for the second part of our season on shows canceled in 13 episodes or less. We watched the first two episodes of the 2007 mid-season replacement drama series Drive, which until now mostly existed in the recesses of Allen's memory. It took a visit from the Spit and Polish hosts Ryan and Bartek to tackle this meaty pair of episodes!

More gags, more goofs, more whacky cartoon hijinks! In our discussion of the second half of On the Air's aired episodes, we realize the series can be extremely funny when it's not rehashing the same three gags.

Lights, camera...ducks! After the production troubles of Twin Peaks season 2, Mark Frost and David Lynch wanted to create a show about the chaotic production crew on a variety show. The result? On the Air, a series that barely made it to air before being summarily canceled. Is the return of Chatz favorite Ian Buchanan enough to solidify this series as a forgotten gem?

You know, endings are a hell of a thing. It's hard to end a podcast season, and it's hard to end the story of Twin Peaks. But Mark Frost sure did try in Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier, and Ryan has done us an incredible service by reading it and recounting all the major ideas and plot beats. Is it leftover script details that didn't need to be explained? Or are there some hidden gems in that sacred canonical text?...I mean there's cool stuff but some of it is actively bad, just wait until you listen.Thank you SO much for listening to PeaksChatz, folks!

Twin Peaks: The Return knows how badly you want certain things, but it manages to give you them while simultaneously taking something you didn't know you needed.

A little under a week ago on the eastern seaboard of the United States, two podcast kidz watched and discussed the latest TV offering from Mickey Mouse's Intergalactic Odyssey of Alien Fun and Toys. Boba Fett lives! But, is he worth watching? You'll have to listen to find out...This episode is full of spoilers of all shapes and sizes, but we tried to space them out in sections. Overall, all nine main Star Wars movies may be spoiled in some way. In addition, The Book of Boba Fett has some significant crossover with The Mandalorian as the season goes on, so more Mando Season 2 spoilers will surface as the episode goes on. 0:00:00 - General Thoughts (no Boba spoilers beyond the fact that Boba Fett is alive and in the show)0:15:00 - Spoilers for the pilot begin here0:23:15 - Spoilers for episodes two through four begin here.0:35:30 - Spoilers for episodes five through seven begin here. This is also where the most significant Mandalorian spoilers occur.At one point in the discussion, Magellan mentions an article he read years ago about how streaming shows tend to have diminishing returns on investment after two seasons. He couldn't find that article, but here is something in the same spirit: https://www.wired.com/story/why-netflix-keeps-canceling-shows-after-just-2-seasons/ Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: [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/

More and more evil is converging on Twin Peaks, and while violence still abounds, there is time to howl like a wolf in the desert with your brother. Becky comes for Steven, Shelly surprises that ChatzKidz, and an accidental gun discharge causes a very loud traffic jam. Also, a portal opens in the sky and someone's dead.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: [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/

This episode features brief descriptions of assault, abuse towards a disabled man, and several uncomfortable scenes. That really tells you what you need to know about Part 10, which attempts to frame Twin Peak's structural violence in fairly gruesome detail. But there is good buried under the bad parts; Janey-E and Dougie share a moment, the Mitchum Brothers are cartoon characters, and Gordon finds a bit of time to do some drawing.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: [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/
