Craig is joined by one of his Padres Hot Tub patrons, "Danny Deskjob" for a full review of the final Mike Flanagan Halloween-timed mini-series on Netflix, The Fall of the House of Usher. We pick our favorite death scene in the show, narrate the good, bad and middling, and at the end rank each of Mike Flanagan's five Netflix series.

Craig Elsten is joined by KPBS reporter, soccer supporter and wine enthusiast Andrew Dyer to discuss AppleTV+'s hidden gem, "Drops of God". The eight-episode miniseries came out during the Emmys glut, and was easily missed. However, it's a series with lush locations, multiple languages and a treatment of a manga conversion that is visually arresting! The guys meet in a park to sip some French wine and talk Drops of God!

Craig Elsten and TALK NERDY TO ME correspondent Ken Gartin discuss the good, bad and middling of the full season of Ahsoka, including the muddled place the series ends...for now. Then, a look at a disappointing premiere of Loki Season Two, and a much better start for Survivor 45.

Craig Elsten is joined by Ryan Phillips to discuss Taylor Sheridan's latest series on Paramount+, Special Ops: Lioness. There are some aspects of this series that are definitively good, and others that verge on regrettable. "And yet", it's a compelling series in many ways. Craig and Ryan go through the many ups and downs of Lioness.

Craig Elsten is joined by his "Talk Nerdy to Me" correspondent Ken Gartin for a complete look at the first four episodes of "Ahsoka" on Disney+. This is creator Dave Filoni's pride and joy, and he's operating with the shackles off...how does it translate into live-action? Is this Rebels season five? Does it matter? The guys go through everything they like, with a little room to critique Hera's tactics in episode four! Enjoying the show? Please leave us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and/or a positive written review!
