The Televerse

Allison, Noel, and Kate continue Streaming In Place with Gravity Falls season two, episodes 10 and 11, “Northwest Mansion Mystery” and “Not what He Seems.” More disturbing horror, family secrets, and the long-awaited reveal of the author. Tune in for our thoughts, then come back next time as we talk episodes 12 and 13, “A Tale of Two Stans” and “Dungeons, Dungeons & More Dungeons.”

Shout-out to our Zoom listener, Marcus. Thanks for hanging with us in the chat and sharing your take on the episodes.

Allison is back, joining Noel and Kate to Stream In Place with Netflix’s Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. We talk Forest Whitaker, Anika Noni Rose, and discovering Madalen Mills. Plus the music, the animation, and those costumes! Tune in for our thoughts, then come back on Wednesday as we return to Lodge 49 to talk season two, episode one, “All Circles Vanish.”

Shout-out to our Zoom listeners, Marcus and Scottie! Thanks for joining in on the fun and sharing your thoughts on the movie.

It’s finally here, the last podcast episode before our hiatus. Noel and Kate do their best to keep it together as they talk through another full week in TV, then head over to the DVD Shelf for one of the quintessential Televerse shows, CBS’s lamentably short-lived Limitless. We kick off Our Week in TV with a little comedy, with Noel checking in on Peacock’s Girls5eva season one and Kate sharing her thoughts on the Tuca & Bertie premiere. Then we luxuriate in another terrific Top Chef: Portland before celebrating a welcome return on Star Wars: The Bad Batch and heading to our superhero roundup. Loki has fun with jet skis and time travel, Batwoman unveils its new Kate Kane, Superman & Lois continues to drop mythology bombs, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow wants a bigger reaction than maybe we’re willing to give it. Afterward, it’s time to revisit Limitless—does it hold up as well as we remember? Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your takes on this week’s TV, Limitless, and whatever strikes your fancy over our hiatus. Thank you to our wonderful guests, friends of the pod, and listeners. We hope you’ve enjoyed the show, because we’ve certainly enjoyed making it. Until we’re back!

Allison and Kate close out the podcast by saying hello to one of the great TV detectives, Lieutenant Columbo, talking Columbo’s season one premiere, “Murder By The Book.” The unforgettable Peter Falk, the joys of an overconfident killer, and 1970s pacing. Plus we reflect back on the past 15 months Streaming In Place.

Allison and Kate finish their journey Streaming In Place with Lucifer, talking the season finale, “A Chance at a Happy Ending.” Michael’s Westerosi wardrobe, the thrilling return of Said Out Bitch, and the power of choice.
