Screen Spiral

Summer Screen Grab Bag

This episode has a little bit of everything - how we felt about Heated Rivalry, Nicole braving a "scary" show, Magen finishing Outlander, and our analysis of Traitors season 1, because it wouldn't be Screen Spiral without some reality TV!

The Survivor 50 Finale - A Supersized Episode!

On this episode, we dissect Ozzy and Cirie's last episodes, and really dive into the finale of this historic season.  We discuss Jeff's huge live TV blunder, what we think of the winner, how we felt the season landed with viewers overall and much more!

Coach's Last Haiku

In this episode, we tear apart Episode 8 of Survivor 50.  Coach is finally gone, Rick Devens creates chaos, and Cirie turns over thousands of coconuts to save the game.

Diagnosing The Pitt

In this week's episode, we talk about The Pitt, compare it to Grey's Anatomy, and wonder if we can claim to be doctors by proxy.

The Blood Moon Letdown (and Other Choices…)

Nicole and Magen are at it again! In this episode, we break down Episodes 2–7 of Survivor 50, digging into the ever-shifting alliances and messy gameplay, but not without calling out some major missteps in editing decisions. We get into the baffling celebrity appearances and product placement (seriously, what was that?) and why they felt more distracting than entertaining. Plus, we vent our frustration and confusion about the “Blood Moon” episode and twist, which just didn’t land for us. Despite our complaints, there’s still plenty to unpack as the season takes shape, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on how these choices impact the game moving forward. Tune in as we sort through the chaos, question the direction, and look ahead to what’s next.
