    Okay, NOW it feels like the rewatch is back, with good old Glenn and Maggie, and that creepy peeping Tom, Eugene. But at least he’s our peeping Tom? Anyway, it was great having Steve Brown guesting with me on this one, especially since he has a military background, like Sgt. Abraham. Mentioned: Jason & Karen, together again! Check us out over on Wax Episodic, available wherever you get podcasts, or at waxepisodic.com.

  • BONUS: Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"

    BONUS: Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"
    Nov 8 2025
    Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus. Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way, and super fun. If you haven’t tried it, we definitely recommend you give it a shot! And then, of course, listen to this podcast. And if you end up getting subsumed into the collective, we’ll be covering the rest of the season on Wax Episodic, available wherever you get podcasts, or at ⁠⁠waxepisodic.com⁠⁠. PS If you’ve been a Podcastica listener for awhile, you might be interested know that the hosts for this podcast are me (Jason) and Karen, who started this network 15 years ago with The Walking Dead ‘Cast. So much fun podcasting with Karen again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
