No Season Two - The Nanny Diaries

The Nanny Diaries

No Season Two

play

03/07/25 • 39 min

(Recorded on February 23, 2025) Episode One is here! And since these episodes have no titles, we’re creating our own! We’re calling this one, “The Nanny Diaries,” because Victoria Winters, the recently hired governess at the Collinwood estate in Collinsport, Maine is providing some much need narrative context. Victoria isn’t the only new person in town, cousin Barnabas from England has also arrived, coincidentally at the same time a bunch of bad stuff starts happening! Shockingly, the police aren’t very good at putting these two things together.


Also, Meaghan and George discuss the relatively new OJ Simpson documentary on Netflix; George is blown away by a young Joseph Gordon Levitt performance; and Meaghan is tired of men’s daddy issues. (Original network air date January 13, 1991)

No Season Two - Safe

Safe

No Season Two

play

07/26/24 • 37 min

(Recorded on July 14, 2024) Up this week is “Safe,” the fifth episode of Firefly. If you were wondering what the Serenity crew was going to do with that cattle from last week, this is the episode for you. If you love Zac Efron, this episode for you. And if you were wondering what Shepherd looks like without his shirt on, this episode is definitely for you. We kick off the episode with some Simon and River backstory and get more throughout. This is all to set up how far Simon would go to protect his sister (a little heavy handed, but we did ask for more backstory, so that’s on us). Moving on! Serenity has landed on a backwoods planet to unload the cattle; unfortunately they didn’t check their source box for any travel advisories in Jiangyin. While half the crew stay back to offload the cattle, Kaylee, Inara, Simon, and River head into town. At a shop Simon, proceeds to unintentionally insult everything Kaylee likes which obviously upsets her! Inara and Kaylee leave and River wanders off and finds herself a local LARPing community. Back at the OK Corral, the cattle sale goes awry when the local police show up to arrest the buyers. In the melee, Shepherd gets shot (by who, it’s not clear). River’s spidey senses are tingling, but before her and Simon can leave Shakespeare in the Park, they’re kidnapped—by the people that the travel advisory was warning about! The rest of the crew can’t wait around to look for them and take off to find Shepherd help. Unfortunately, Simon and River see Serenity leave them, ouch. The Serenity crew seek help at an Alliance station, but before they can be turned away Shepherd pulls out his Obamacare card and they rush him to treatment. Simon is just settling into his role as Doc Hollywood (is this thing on?) when his sister is accused of being a witch! Before the town can get out their s’mores kits, Mal and the rest of the crew come to rescue them. If only Joan of Arc had been so lucky.


George comes to the realization that if he gives up on a coherent story line he enjoys the show; Meaghan doesn’t understand why we’re making up new words to describe things that already existed; and we say goodbye to our girl, Shannen Dorehty. (Original network air date November 8, 2002)

No Season Two - Jaynestown

Jaynestown

No Season Two

play

08/12/24 • 40 min

(Recorded on August 4, 2024) Up this week is episode seven of Firefly, “Jaynestown.” The crew are headed to Canton, a town who survives on the export of mud and slave labor. Who do they think they are, Shein? Jayne disguised as the REI Lawerence of Arabia, doesn’t want to go because he previously robbed the town’s magistrate—a man named Higgins, whose sole focus in this episode is getting his 26 year old son, Fess, laid (weird!). While Mal, Wash, Jayne, Kaylee, and Simon journey to town, Zoe and Shepherd stay on the ship with River. After meeting the foreman of the mud plantation, the crew stumbles on a statue of Jayne, made out of what else, mud. Simon seems most dumbfounded, making some of campiest shocked faces we’ve seen in the serious so far. They visit a local tavern and while imbibing in mudders milk (I hope it’s pasteurized) they’re treated to a musical performance by a local. The song, Hero of Canton is about Jayne—describing how he robbed from Higgins and then rained the money down on the towns people. Obviously that is only half true, as Jayne only dumped the money so his ship wouldn’t crash (and that’s not the only thing he dumped!). The mudders discover Jayne is back and boy are they happy to see him. Higgins, while waiting for his son to lose his cherry (his words, not mine) to Inara finds out that Jayne is back in Canton. Higgins, unlocks Encino Man from a wooden box and is like, “go on, git! you know what you need to do!” Ladies and germs, that man is Stitch Hessian, Jayne’s former partner who he also dumped from his ship. Obviously he as an axe to grind! There’s a pretty good fight scene (I’ll give them that) and then Jayne holds a republican press conference telling everyone to stop waiting for a handout and get a job! They have a job, they just don't get paid, Jayne!! While all of this is going on, Kaylee is trying to flirt with Simon (awkwardly). And River is being kind of racist??


Also, George implores Meaghan to watch the movie Heat; Meaghan is offended that George questioned her boyband knowledge; and they both encourage everyone to listen to Give It To You. (Original network air date October 18, 2002)

No Season Two - Serenity — Part Two
play

11/01/24 • 48 min

Up this week, we have our second and final part recapping the Firefly movie, “Serenity.” Last week we left off with Mal finally meeting the Operative and Inara coming back aboard Serenity. The group (minus River) have a house meeting, where Jayne actually makes some pretty good points about how River is a liability and can take care of herself. Mal is turned all the way up in the brooding department after Jayne says he could captain this boat better than Mal. Jayne has a botched attempt at kidnapping River (she bests him) and she is loose on the ship for all of two seconds before Mal finds her surfing AOL to find Miranda—a black-rocked planet just this side of Reaver-land. Now this is where the story takes a bit of sharp turn to ‘huh?’ territory. We lose a well-loved character; we get a convoluted backstory about the origin of Reavers; we’re supposed to believe that the Alliance cares that River knew about this deep down; we lose ANOTHER well-loved character; we get some good fight scenes; and then it just sort of ends. Of course there’s things tying all of these together but it’s all very strange. Does it make for a bad movie over all? You’ll have to listen to hear our thoughts on that. Plus, Meaghan tries to manifest the comeback of America’s Next Top Model. George wonders where his nerd-brain went. And we ask ourselves if we’d watch “Serenity: The Sequel.”

No Season Two - Ariel

Ariel

No Season Two

play

09/13/24 • 47 min

(Recorded on September 7, 2024) No Season Two is back from our mid-season break and we’re talking about episode nine of Firefly, “Ariel.” The Serenity crew is heading to the allied world Ariel, so Inara can get her government mandated physical exam to renew her companion license (the future sounds awful! but also familiar, womp womp). Before they can touch down on Ariel, River slashes Jayne across the chest with a butcher’s knife (you go girl!) and Jayne does not take it well! Mal realizes River is getting worse and has her confined to her quarters. The next day while the gang is playing a game of horseshoe and bemoaning their lack of money-making endeavors, Simon waltzes in with a proposition for them: get him into the hospital in Ariel City so he can find out what’s wrong with his sister (diagnosis: A LOT) and they will have access to all the pharmaceuticals they want to resell on the black market. Ladies and germs, we have a heist! And not the sad heist that was in “The Train Job.” This a bonafide heist with an Ocean’s 11 montage. Things go perfectly at first—Simon finds out that the alliance turned River’s amygdala into mush, and Zoe and Mal are able to snag all the drugs. Unfortunately for everyone, Jayne is a part of their crew and he called the feds to turn in Simon and River for some reward money. Of course Jayne didn’t think (big obviously here) that this plan would backfire, but it does spectacularly. The blue glove guys show up turning people's brains into pools of blood, but before they can get to Simon and River, Mal and Zoe come to the rescue. Back on the ship Mal pulls a “you did it to me!” with Jayne while threatening to have him sucked out into space. But does he do it? No. But it’s fun to watch Jayne think he’s a goner.


Also, George shares one his favorite summer past times; Meaghan won’t shut up about the tv show OZ (trust us, it will make sense); and we both try to figure out what is going on with the hospitals in the 26th century (Seinfeld voice). (Original network air date November 15, 2002)

No Season Two - Bushwhacked

Bushwhacked

No Season Two

play

07/05/24 • 36 min

(Recorded on June 23rd, 2024) This week we’ve got “Bushwhacked,” episode three of Firefly. We’re finally seeing that space is actually scary and not just because of the mining activity that will turn you into soup. The Serenity crew comes across what they think is an abandoned settler ship and under the guise of checking for life they go to raid the ship. River walks barefoot (please get the girl some shoes) on to the settler ship following...voices? It’s unclear. Through her telepathic investigative work we find out the passengers on this ship have been tortured, strung up, and left for dead. They find one survivor (who is not well!) hiding in the air ducts and bring him back to Serenity. Mal finally tells everyone it was Reavers (who’s backstory is woefully underdeveloped) who attacked the ship and they should get out of dodge. Before they can, the Alliance docks and boards Serenity accusing them of stealing (correct) and harboring two adult siblings (also correct). The Alliance commander Harkin takes the Serenity crew (minus Simon and River who are hiding on the outside of the ship?) in for questioning, along with the lone survivor of the settler ship to medical treatment. Harkin does some lackluster interrogation work before being informed that the survivor has murdered the doctors helping him—not cool bro! Mal realizes the survivor has become a Reaver (see now this is an origin story) and has gone back to the Serenity ship. Mal, handcuffed, saves the Harkin’s life and the crew of the Serenity is allowed to go. I guess we just forgot all about the harboring fugitives bit, huh?


Also, Meaghan compares “Bushwhacked” to an episode of X-Files (though she confuses the name of the episode for a movie and doesn’t get the nationality of the ship’s crew correct—good work!); George won’t stand for Costner trash talk; and Meaghan blows George’s mind with her favorite Donald Sutherland movies.

No Season Two - Betrayal

Betrayal

No Season Two

play

01/12/24 • 46 min

(Recorded on October 29th, 2023) Up this week we are digging into episode seventeen of My So-Called Life, “Betrayal” and boy is it a doozy. Angela is totally over Jordan (whatever you say girl), Rayanne is auditioning for the school play, Sharon gave Brian a camcorder (big mistake), and Corey Helfrick is back with a brand new look (#basic). Sadly Corey’s style change is the not the only betrayal in the episode; Rayanne and Jordan finally go big in the messing up department and hook up in the back of his car. And we wish we could say that’s the worst part of the whole thing, but it was caught on camera (not accidentally!!!) by Brian. This leads Angela to have a bit of a breakdown and do her best Rayanne impersonation. In the process, Angela freaks Corey out and hurts Rickie’s feelings (unforgivable). Rayanne shows up at the Chase house and tells Patty (for some reason) what she did. Patty is unfazed by this because she too had a bit of a hoe era and slept with one of Camille’s crushes. Elsewhere in adult land, Graham, a man who has only ever cooked for his family and Hallie, a woman who can’t remember where she’s supposed to meet her business partner, are still somehow doing this restaurant together. Hallie’s inability to remember where she’s supposed to meet Graham gives Camille an opportunity to instantly hate her on behalf of Patty like a real friend (and not like one who sleeps with their bff’s crush). Patty suggest another couples date not knowing that Hallie is now Brad-less; because why would Graham tell Patty anything? There’s obviously some runaway nominees for biggest loser in this episode, but will they win? George and Meaghan (neither are legal scholars) discuss the legality of filming two people (underage!) doing it in the backseat of a car in 1995. George has a bone to pick with Hallie and her restaurant etiquette. And Meaghan asks the important question: What’s in Rayanne’s flask. (Original network air date January 12th, 1995)

No Season Two - Weekend

Weekend

No Season Two

play

01/19/24 • 38 min

(Recorded on November 5th, 2023) This week, we’ve got the eighteenth episode of My So-Called Life, “Weekend.” Patty and Graham are headed to the saddest inn this side of the Allegheny River with Uncle Neil and his surprise girlfriend, Cheryl. While packing for the trip, Camille offers Patty her handcuffs—let’s hope she sanitizes after each use. When Graham comes into the room, Patty ends up hiding the handcuffs underneath the 500 decorative pillows on her bed. Patty finally learns that Hallie is no longer engaged and you can hear her screaming internally. At the inn, Patty wants to do activities and the rest of the crew want to get drunk and abandon her to find alcohol, since they are staying at the only dry inn in the western hemisphere. Instead of ice skating, Patty spends her afternoon sitting on a couch in the common area and annoying Warren the inn keeper, a man not suited for the hospitality industry. At dinner, Patty deals with her abandonment issues by getting drunk on contraband ginger flavored brandy to prove to everyone that she’s not a stick-in-the-mud (it only sort of works). Back at the Chase house, Rickie is spending the weekend with Angela and Danielle. While he’s there, Rayanne drops by under the guise of trying to collect $6 from him (but we all know she wants to see Angela). Of course she finds the handcuffs and and proceeds to handcuff herself to the bed. Too bad Patty accidentally brought the key with her to the worst inn in Pennsylvania. Angela, Rickie, Danielle, Sharon, and eventually Brian spend the rest of the weekend trying to free Rayanne from the headboard; all that’s missing is the Benny Hill theme. We have some wildcards for our biggest winners and losers; and we are treated to a quintessential 90’s needle drop. Meaghan and George discuss the Milli Vanilli documentary (love!); Graham licking Patty’s jaw (definitely don’t love); why there wasn’t any alcohol at this inn (Warren is a buzzkill); and how we would have preferred if Uncle Neil was played by Jon Lovitz.

No Season Two - Trash

Trash

play

09/27/24 • 44 min

(Recorded on September 22, 2024) **Promo for The Delicious Recap podcast included in this episode** Up this week we are digging into episode eleven of Firefly, “Trash.” That’s right folks, we are in the home stretch! Mal is doing business with his old war pal, Monty (sans soup catcher, gag) when he’s introduced to Monty’s wife Bridget. But listeners, Monty’s wife Bridget, is actually Mal’s wife—that’s right Saffron is back (loud boos and cheers). Mal and Saffron scuffle while Monty stands by confused but not at all bothered by Mal beating up his wife. Eventually Monty realizes that Bridget is not who she says she is and kicks her off his ship, unfortunately sticking her with Mal. Saffron teases Mal with a ‘million square job’ while he tries to get away from her. On Serenity, Inara tells Mal she’s in dire need of work and if he could stop doing these tiny jobs that make them no money, that would be great. Mal digs Saffron out of a bin in the cargo bay (what was she doing all that time!?) and asks her about this job. We get a bit of the same stuff as in ‘Ariel’ (but not as good) with Saffron explaining the job—stealing an antique laser pistol from rich a-hole Durran Haymer—while showing how it could work. Everyone is like, “what’s she doing here?” but in the end they all need money and agree to work with her. While in the middle of stealing the pistol, Durran walks in, shocked that he’s being robbed, but even MORE shocked that his wife Yolanda has returned. That’s right, Saffron is Yolanda! Keep up everyone! She turns on Mal, but then Durran comes back and she turns on him and is back to being partners with Mal long enough to try and screw him over. BUT the Serenity crew is playing some 4-D chess and Saffron/Bridget/Yolanda ends up stuck in a dumpster, where she belongs. Also, Simon finally realizes that Jayne tried to sell him and sister out—about f’ing time!


Plus, George gives us another white guy on his mom’s list of approved white guys; Meaghan wonders which episode made execs at Fox go, ‘ENOUGH!”; and we wonder if Christina Hendricks still has her syfy genre award from 2006. (Original network air date July 21, 2003)

No Season Two - Heart of Gold

Heart of Gold

No Season Two

play

10/11/24 • 43 min

This week we are rounding third and talking about episode thirteen of Firefly, “Heart of Gold,” and boy is it a weird one. We’re visiting yet another desert locale in space, but this one has a brothel covered in tin foil, run by former companion, Nandi; and a local land owner, Rance Burgess, who must have seen Road House at some point (J.C. Penney is coming here, because of me!). Rance shows up at the brothel looking for one of Nandi’s employees Petaline. Petaline is pregnant and Rance is determined to prove the baby is his. Nandi video calls Inara, asking for help (much like when Dalton called in Wade Garrett for back up when dealing with Brad Wesley). Inara volunteers the Serenity crew and since they have nothing else lined up, they agree. When they get to The Chicken Ranch, Jayne makes a beeline for the girls, Shepherd tries to make a sandwich, Kaylee asks Wash to tell her she’s pretty, and Simon (with River in tow) goes to examine Petaline. Nandi explains the situation to Mal, Zoe, and Inara—that Rance keeps the people in the town poor, so he can live out his Road House fantasy. Later, Mal and Inara meet Rance at a local theater (and if we weren’t already clear on how Rance views women, this part helps clarify: he hates them). Mal and Inara leave, and Mal realizing Rance is a monster tells Inara that everyone should pack up and leave this hellhole. Rance gets a call from Maury saying “YOU ARE THE FATHER.” Nandi can’t be convinced to leave and Mal in a moment of ‘stupid recognizes stupid’ agrees to stay and help fight. The main bullet points after this are: Zoe tells Wash it’s time to start trying for a baby; Mal sleeps with Nandi; Inara cries when she finds out; River doesn’t know where babies come from; and we meet a winner of the local Lacey Chabert look-alike contest. We end on a bit of a cliffhanger, which neither of us are sure will even be mentioned in the fourteenth and final episode.


Plus, George and Meaghan workshop their Firefly spinoff about Shepherd Book; George regales us with the trials and tribulations of getting the best burger in NYC; and by the end of the episode, Meaghan can’t stop laughing.
