Pilot House

Is this the pilot that launched a thousand gifs? This wildly popular Canadian sitcom had Sarah and Strangely scratching their heads. Join us as we try to parse the comedy, wonder about the future, and bemoan the limited screen time of Tim Rozon's abs.

After falling in love with the first episode of Russian Doll in episode 43, we're back to discuss the whole first season! We gush about Oatmeal, wonder what Horse's deal is, discuss some ideas for season two, and beg the internet to send us rugelach.

In the beginning... Strangely and Sarah were curious about a comic book adaptation. Listen as we work our way through some very strong feelings about angels, cops, doctor-patient relationships, and a naked Welshman.

In the immortal words of Shania Twain, "Looks like we made it!" We're resetting the numbers and celebrating a little, because we've finally reached our (for reals) 50th episode!

We're taking this show off the rails and chatting about, not a specific pilot, but some of our favorite types of episodes: body swaps, bottle episodes, etc. Formerly a Patreon exclusive, we're now bringing our informal 'scuttlebutt' chats to the wide world!

Listen as we dive into the hot and heavy world of Regency romance with Netflix's new series from Shonda Rhimes. You can hear all about Sarah's literary conspiracy theory, and find out which character Strangely thinks would make a great Avenger!

Join us as we delve into the first episode of the twisty, turny, and incredibly ambitious Netflix show Russian Doll. Listen as we make predictions about what the show had planned, some prescient and some wildly off-base. Podcasts, what a concept!

Season 4 is here, and so are your intrepid hosts Sarah and Strangely, ready to tell you a little about this season's theme, as well as give a rundown of what this show even is for our new listeners. Wilkommen, bienvenue, come on in!

We're back, and we're finally closing out our ambitious third season! Join us for a recap of the shows we watched this season (including the October Spooktacular), whether we 'picked them up for syndication,' and what we thought of the ones we did. We also talk about the changing way we're taking in new media, and add a few recommendations for the shows we've been watching in quarantine. Plus: our plan for the future of the podcast!

Your hosts dive into the strange and murky world of pseudo-educational Hanna-Barbera cartoons with the original SEALAB 2020. The final show of our Season 3 trip through the decades was set in the current year, made in the '70s, and better known for its 'remake' in the year 2000. Does this make up for us accidentally doing two '80s shows? Will it be worth the wait? FIND OUT TODAY!

WE'RE BACK! Continuing our trip through the decades, this week's episode is about the twenty-teens' Orphan Black, which brings us scifi, intrigue, and half-assed grifting in Canada (probably).

Our regularly scheduled episodes have been delayed due to quarantine complications, so to tide you over in the meantime we're sharing an unreleased and lightly edited "ketchup" chat about the first season of Ripper Street, a show we originally discussed way back in 2018! Stay tuned for more, and stay safe! #goodenoughforquarantine

This week we watched a show from a long time ago, about some people who used to be friends. Travel with us back to 2004 and that sun-bleached California neo-noir classic, Veronica Mars!

It's the '90s. After an extreme (and accidental) double-dose of the '80s, Sarah and Strangely aren't quite sure what to make of this classic British comedy. Pour another white wine and brace yourself for fashion, darling.

It's an extremely 80s Battle of the Sexes in Pierce Brosnan's 90-minute James Bond audition reel, also known as the first episode of Remington Steele! Is there enough whimsical con man fuckery to satisfy our hosts? How piercing are Pierce's eyes? And who, if anyone, is packing a rod? Only Remington Steele knows for sure!

Some exciting news announced and a hilarious mistake explained in this quick little mid-release chat!

Your intrepid hosts set out on the long, dusty Highway to Heaven -- or at least the 90-minute pilot of this 1984 show we thought was from 1974. Will Michael Landon's majestic hair save the day? Who gets in a solid burn on George Burns? How suspicious IS a bicycle? Tune in now to learn all this and more!

Starting Season Three off with a bang (of the Chitty Chitty variety)! It's time to watch "My Mother the Car," the absolutely improbable 1960s sitcom where Dick Van Dyke's little brother buys a sentient jalopy. Yes, that is the premise. Yes, it IS that weird.

It's our holiday special! Join us as we celebrate the birth of our lord and cohost Strangely, by introducing Sarah to the 90-minute pilot of his favorite sci-fi epic: 1997's Stargate SG-1.

It's time for our last October Spooktacular episode, and we went big with the MOST ridiculous vampire show of all time: Canada's "Forever Knight"! What happens when a vampire cop and his dramatic goth dad battle over the fate of 1990s Toronto? Is one of them named after fizzy water? And why won't John Kapelos stop talking about souvlaki? Listen as Strangely struggles to keep his grip on reality in our endless...FOREVER KNIGHT.
