]]> Podcastica jason@podcastica.com Severance S2E3 "Who Is Alive?" An odd, lovable episode this week, with a lot of small movement on various fronts. I mean, I suppose you could describe like 75% of all Severance episodes that way…. This one had goats in it, which does narrow it down. Some.  Next up on Severance: The season two premiere, S2E4 “Woe’s Hollow”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to waffleparty@podcastica.com.

Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It’s sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant!

Invitation link: https://discord.gg/6WUMt3m3qe  Other shows we cover on this podcast: We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows: Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It’s sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant!

Other shows we cover on this podcast:

We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows:

  • Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.
  • Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It’s sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen!
  • IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.

]]> 6076 yes Fallout S2E8 "The Strip" Okie dokey, that’s it for Fallout season 2! We thought it was a great season finale, packed to the rads with answers (the Enclave is behind it all, and the President is one of them), more questions (have Hank and Steph been a thing for 200 years or what?), and as f$%ked up and funny as ever.  Thanks from all three of us to everyone for joining us for this series! What a freaking blast it is, right? It was so much fun to cover, and we especially appreciate those of you who wrote and called in (but we love all of ya).  I (Jason) hope you guys all stick around as Karen and I start with Apple TV’s Severance next week. We’re going back to the beginning and the plan is to cover the whole series, episode-by-episode, spoiler free. What is Severance, you ask? It’s a trippy workplace sci-fi thriller where employees surgically split their work and personal memories, creating two separate versions of themselves. It starts as a clever corporate experiment and develops into an unsettling mystery about identity, control, and rebellion. Smart, stylish, funny, and quietly disturbing, with an incredible cast — Adam Scott, Zach Cherry (!), Britt Lower, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette. Hosted by Jason and Karen.

I (Jason) hope you guys all stick around as Karen and I start with Apple TV’s Severance next week. We’re going back to the beginning and the plan is to cover the whole series, episode-by-episode, spoiler free. What is Severance, you ask? It’s a trippy workplace sci-fi thriller where employees surgically split their work and personal memories, creating two separate versions of themselves. It starts as a clever corporate experiment and develops into an unsettling mystery about identity, control, and rebellion. Smart, stylish, funny, and quietly disturbing, with an incredible cast — Adam Scott, Zach Cherry (!), Britt Lower, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette. Hosted by Jason and Karen.


And if you’re looking for something else to dig into, highly recommend checking out any of the other shows this podcast covers. They are…

  • Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It’s sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen!
  • IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.
  • Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy.

Karen and I are thrilled to be joined by David — a huge Vince Gilligan fan, a Podcastica host, and Karen’s hubs — to talk it out! Thanks everyone for joining us for this show!

Other Wax Episodic shows:

Consider trying one of these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows that we cover on this very podcast:

  • IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.
  • Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.
  • Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy.

]]> 6415 yes Pluribus S1E3 "Grenade" We thought this ep was a deeper exploration of Carol’s character, and how she’s not only immune to the pod people virus, but also to allowing herself to feel happy even when everything is going well. Hmm, maybe that is why she’s immune to the virus (except Air Force One-guy doesn’t seem to have that problem). Anyway, this ep was a joy to watch, and to podcast on, and we hope you enjoy!
