Happy Halloween! Netflix's The Body may be a little late to the party, but this new teen drama-thriller, set in a Catholic school in 2004 and featuring a pilot titled "Slutty God," invites viewers into a world of biblical resurrection via a rager at an abandoned mansion, Little Red Riding Hood seizing in a forest, a girl with no eyebrows doing interpretive dance, and, of course, Chekhov's snake.
On the podcast, we do our best to break down this hour-long pilot, pointing out the symbolism where we see it, appreciating the effectively creepy performances  high school 20 year-olds, and trying to make sense of whatever the hell we just watched.

Bass Reeves is back! While Taylor Sheridan is off on his yacht making billion-dollar shows with NBCUniversal or whatever, Netflix has decided history needs a refresh. When a genius intern asked if someone could One Piece the Civil War, the idea was born, and now we have Paper Boi voicing half-man half-gun Bass Reeves.
On the podcast, we break down this version of Bass: Bass the bounty hunter versus Bass the lawman. Given the crazy genre mash-up, we've got comparisons, soundtrack, cyborg/android tech, and plot to talk about. Tune in, and find out whether this show is on track to make our Best or Worst Ofs next month.

This fall, Helluva Boss returned for the first part of its third season. The dark animated musical comedy, created by Vivienne “VivziePop” Medrano, takes place in the same universe as its sister show, Hazbin Hotel. Now entering its penultimate season, the series continues to follow the dysfunctional ensemble behind I.M.P., Hell's very own assassination business.
From Stolas and Blitzø to Millie, Moxxie, pregnancies, breakups, reunions, family trauma, and murder. It's an ambitious bit of storytelling with an impressive voice cast, but does it manage to pull everything off?

What if your mom wasn't your mom? That's the situation Sonny Cooke finds himself in after the two-episode premiere of Hulu's Phony, a coming-of-age comedy mixed with a potentially supernatural mystery. Connie Britton stars in a show that presents a dark situation with a Disney-lite backlit atmosphere.
On the podcast, we discuss what we think might be going on, where the show succeeds, and whether we'll keep watching. Is Sonny a reliable narrator? Who can we trust? Is this The Changeling in reverse, or something closer to The Truman Show? With Halloween tomorrow, everyone's getting ready to pretend to be someone else, this show feels pretty topical.
