The TV Sect Podcast: Pumpkin Spice Edition

10/31/21 • 65 min

We’re back from our hiatus, and back to talking TV! Fall is here. It’s time for football, sweater weather, and Halloween nights. It’s also time for The TV Sect Podcast: Pumpkin Spice Edition.
This week were talking all about the shows that feel like fall, shows that just have that Pumpkin Spice aesthetic of a crisp autumn day, no matter what time of year the show takes place. We ponder on what makes a show feel Pumpkin Spice, what doesn’t, and why a show might choose to feel like a season. We also discuss Halloween episodes and specials.
In the devotional this week, Moni confesses to never finishing a quintessential Pumpkin Spice show, and Sierra has a desperate plea aimed at all Halloween marketing and commercial executives.

Hello, My Name is...TV Titles

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
True, Will, very true, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't pass it over because of the name. Would you drop over $5 for a fancy coffee at Cargo House (aka Starbucks)?
Today we look at Titles. Every writer knows how difficult it is to come up with a name for your script. Sometimes talking it out helps, so that’s what we are doing. Talking all about Titles of TV shows and thoughts about what works, what doesn't work, and crafting that perfect one that sparks the interest of a reader or a viewer.
Keep in touch with us during our break for updates on upcoming shows! Also, let us know what shows, writing topics, or other TV topics you'd like to hear about. We are here to talk all about your cult-like love of television.

The One with Pie

It’s Thanksgiving Time, and as with any holiday, here at the TV Sect, we have time-honored traditions of watching our favorite Thanksgiving themed episodes!
Sierra and Moni wax nostalgic about all their favorite Thanksgiving episodes and discuss how comedy and drama shows approach the holiday differently. They also talk about the problematic history of Thanksgiving, how television is changing how it represents the holiday, as well as the importance of having Native voices telling the stories we see both on screen and in the writers room.
In place of the devotional, Sierra and Moni say what they are thankful for this year. Be sure to check out our Search Party section on our website www.thetvsectpodcast.com for lists and links of the shows mentioned in this episode.
