| 13 Nov 2018 | TV Plot Twists | 01:48:39 | |
Welcome to episode 6 of the Damn Fine TV podcast! This time on the show, Tyler and I discuss our recent grievances with The Walking Dead & Outlander, his love for Big Mouth, and my (ever ongoing) adoration for American Horror Story. Then we get to the main event: plot twists. We dish on what makes them work and what doesn't, whether being spoiled can affect their payoff, and then highlight a few of our faves and least faves. Oh, and Tyler brings up a film, on this TV-centric podcast, and he loses Internet points for doing so. Enjoy!

| 26 Apr 2020 | Weekly Watch: The Coop Scoop | 01:34:21 | |
On this episode of the Weekly Watch: Jasmin and Mells are chatting about Twin Peaks season 2, episodes 10 through 16. This is the part of S2 most people dislike but...we disagree! There's just so much fun to be had with the Packard/Martell family drama, the Milford brother shenanigans, Nadine's second chance at high school, Windom Earle's 4D murder chess, and, most of all, James Hurley's wild ride. So come join us and get the scoop on Coop! Then, your Queens of the small screen share their thoughts on Westworld, season 3 episode 6, "Decoherence." If you're in need of a laugh, tune in to hear the gals scramble their brains trying to sort this whole show out!
2:00 - Twin Peaks
53:05 - Westworld

| 19 Dec 2022 | Yellowjackets - Season 1 Episode 1 | 01:50:36 | |
This time on Damn Fine TV... We're kicking off our Yellowjackets season 1 rewatch! We are buzzing with anticipation for season 2, and figured we all could use a little refresher on what's already happened. Spoilers are inevitable, so if you're new to the hive, listen at your own risk! A video version of this podcast is available on Spotify. It was first created back in early 2022 for our Bookhouse Babe Patrons. It was before we had a better handle on audio for Zoom, so J's track may not have the quality you're used to, apologies! Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us... Audio Editing & Mixing: Jasmin Thanks for listening; see you soon! | |||
| 14 Nov 2022 | Three Year Q&A Special! | 01:46:27 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re celebrating 3 years of podcasting together by answering all your wonderful and strange questions! Ever wonder what the Damn Fine Duo would do in a Freaky Friday body swap situation? Or how fast they can throw a raisinete? Or what about the TV show that best describes their personality? Wow, those are weird things to wonder about us! But, turns out, other people have wondered the same things, and we have the answers you’ve been seeking - all in this episode! Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us... Audio Editing & Mixing: Jasmin Thanks for listening; see you soon! | |||
| 02 Dec 2020 | Best TV of 2020 - Part One | 01:24:07 | |
This week on the show…We are kicking off our Best of TV in 2020 series, and we’re thrilled to welcome special guests, Acadia and Shooey from Strangeful Things, to get us started! Before we dive into the main event, we get a bit of history on how the Strangeful crew came together - Mells included - and we learn what Acadia and Shooey’s first-ever fave shows are. Tangents abound in this episode and we wind up talking about TV of the past, what we’re watching right now, and the state of TV in general. It’s a truly damn fine time. Go listen to and follow Strangeful Things! They are worth two big thumbs-up from Coop and Gordon! Here’s all the places you can listen to and follow the show, as well as where you can hang with Acadia and Shooey. Strangeful Things: Listen / Instagram / Twitter 21:40 - The Outsider

| 11 Nov 2020 | Lovecraft Country: 8 - 10 | 00:58:31 | |
This week on the show… We’re (finally) wrapping our coverage of Lovecraft Country, with a discussion of episodes 8 through 10. We chat about the ups and downs of the season overall as well as redemption arcs, the cuteness of monsters, the annoyance of fruit flies vs. the terror of centipedes, Christina’s confusing arc, and how the payoff and progress of Leti’s pioneering in her neighbourhood feels like the biggest win of the season. Next Week: We’re away for the next two weeks - apologies to our Damn Fine Listeners! We’re gearing up for some special end-of-year and holiday episodes in December - featuring some very exciting guests! - and getting some rest before we launch into coverage of both The Stand and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina throughout January and February. Enjoy the rest of your November! 10:20 - Lovecraft Country, episodes 8-10 Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us... Thanks for listening; see you soon! | |||
| 26 Nov 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: On The Wings Of Love | 01:26:37 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re spelunking into Twin Peaks Season 2, Episode 18 “On The Wings of Love.” What treasures did our descent unearth? We learned a new joke about penguins, how to properly tuck our sweaters, that eating carrots isn’t enough to make you a good person, and that some songs are just meant to be instrumental. So, grab yourself a rum and tonic - don’t worry, we’ve got hangover cures just in case - and come meet us in Owl Cave! We’d love to hear your thoughts on “On The Wings of Love” or our coverage of it - head to our Instagram and hit us up in the comments section! *Apologies for the clipping on Mells’ audio track. Technology has literally been attacking us for weeks now and we’ve tried everything - blowing on the game cartridge, wrapping a plastic bag around the card before swiping, calling “Time Out” a la Zack Morris, but it is a relentless beast that will stop at nothing. We will persist, dear listeners, and we appreciate your support and words of strength at this time. 1:17:30 - Spoiler Section Disability & David Lynch - https://dsq-sds.org/article/view/331/410 Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 15 Apr 2022 | Twin Peaks The Return: Part 9 | 01:24:49 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re joined once again by the incredibly lovely Agent Ivy, to chat about The Return Part 9 - This Is The Chair. Which chair is THE chair, though? While it’s most likely the chair at Jasmin’s in-laws place, the one with Betty Briggs’s favourite magic trick, what if it’s actually the one Andy and Lucy are arguing over? Or maybe it’s the one on the plane where Albert snoozes and does his own Fuck You? How about where Diane sits as she receives a mysterious text? (Okay, that’s a couch, but still.) And let’s not forget the chair Bill Hastings sits on during his FBI interrogation - could that be THE chair? Ok, that’s enough investigating for today, let’s relax with a little scuba diving and mixed drinks on the beach! Make sure you check out @agent.ivy on IG https://www.instagram.com/agent.ivy/ & on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AgentIvy - not only does she have Twin Peaks themed giveaways, she often blesses us with clips of her beautiful singing voice!

| 14 Oct 2020 | The Haunting of Bly Manor: 1 - 4 | 01:32:39 | |
This week on the show… Jasmin and Mells kick the episode off with discussions about Canadian Thanksgiving, time travel, Halloween costumes, and DIY haircuts. Then, we get into our main event: The Haunting of Bly Manor, episodes 1-4. Spoiler alert - we fucking love it and cannot understand why people are hating on it so much. It’s not Hill House, people, and it’s not supposed to be! If Flora’s dollhouse doesn’t spook you, if Peter Quint’s creepy smile doesn’t make your skin crawl, if Owen’s bad Dad jokes don’t make you hide under a blanket then...well, I don’t know, I guess you’re super brave or whatever. Stop bragging and stop complaining about good television! We’d love to hear your thoughts on Bly - EVEN if you’re not loving it, tell us what’s not working for ya! Or, tell us what you’re loving! Either way, we’ll read your feedback on the show if you’ve got some. Send an email to: damnfinepod@gmail.com 12:30 - The Haunting of Bly Manor, episodes 1-4 (there are spoilers for each of these episodes throughout our discussion, so make sure you’ve seen all four before listening!)

| 06 Mar 2023 | Yellowjackets - Season 1 Episode 8 | 01:03:56 | |
This Time on Damn Fine TV… We are deep in our feels as we discuss all of the emotional ups and (many, many) downs of Yellowjackets episode 8 - Flight of the Bumblebee. From harrowing rescue missions, to vulnerable heart-to-hearts, to petty breakups, to betrayal, and one explosively horrific death, it’s a lot to deal with, Finers. Even Misty is crying! But instead of relapsing on carpet drugs, let’s get through this together! Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 10 Dec 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: The Path to the Black Lodge | 01:43:27 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… Our hands are shaking wildly and we’re not sure if it’s love, malaria, or just too much coffee. It’s a good thing the fabulous @agent.ivy is here to help us out, as we discuss Twin Peaks, season 2, episode 20: “The Path to the Black Lodge.” There’s a strange sense of calm in the air, despite the menacing and chaotic danger named Windom Earle lurking in the woods. Donna, Audrey, and Shelly don’t seem phased by Cooper’s call for caution, Annie and Cooper barely react to a pile of dishes crashing to the floor at the Double R, and Major Briggs is a little too trusting of the horse he meets in the forest. Let’s hope it’s not too late to heed The Giant’s warning! We’d love to hear your thoughts on “The Path To The Black Lodge” or our coverage of it - head to our Instagram and hit us up in the comments section!

| 16 Sep 2020 | Lovecraft Country Double Feature: Episodes 4 AND 5 | 01:02:32 | |
This week on the show...it's Spooky Season! The weather is getting colder, and we are officially ready for all the horror and Halloween vibes! Mells and her son have started their yearly tradition of watching The Nightmare Before Christmas - until Christmas - and Jasmin is re-watching American Horror Story Murder House.
We also talk about, not one, but TWO episodes of Lovecraft Country! We made some changes to our recording schedule, which means we'll be on pace with the show moving forward. That is, until we take a break to cover The Haunting of Bly Manor...Until then, enjoy this on time review!
11:25 - Watchmen episodes 3-5
16:15 - Lovecraft Country ep. 4
27:10 - Lovecraft Country ep. 5

| 19 Nov 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: Wounds and Scars | 01:36:29 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… The Barkhouse Boys from Talking Backwards join us this week to cover season 2, episode 17, “Wounds and Scars.” We discuss gifts and guises, fashion shows and fashion oh-nos, love at first sight and first dates that make us want to look away - and we’ll wash it all down with a whole lot of brown liquor over at The Bookhouse. Plus, this week’s spoiler section is epic! Partly because it’s full of meanderings - did you ever want to know what commercials Jasmin missed out on in the early 90s up in Canada? Because you’ll find out! But also, Tyler serves up a huge theory that left the Damn Fine Duo with their minds blown. We’d love to hear your thoughts on “Wounds and Scars” or our coverage of it - head to our Instagram and hit us up in the comments section! 1:20:15 - Spoiler Section Check out the guys from Talking Backwards in all the places… Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 25 Mar 2022 | Twin Peaks The Return: Part 7 | 01:36:31 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… Jerry Horne is high in the woods; we don’t mean altitude wise. Andy still doesn’t really understand how his job works; he created the meme “That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works!” Diane has a hearty “fuck you” for everyone; we think it might be a term of endearment. Cooper and Janey-E take down Ike the Spike; Coop could smell him gettin’ off the elevator. A humming sound gets louder, a man sweeps, Mr. C takes his fine ass out of jail, and someone is looking for Billy…has anyone seen Billy?! A video version of this podcast is available on our Patreon page! Speaking of Patreon - we made a lil booboo in the shoutouts and accidentally said the wrong IG handle for the lovely Jess. So here's where you can actually find Jess: https://www.instagram.com/lady_ofthesol/ Check out their shop, we think the items will really resin..ate with you!

| 23 Dec 2020 | The Stand: Episode One | 01:19:09 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We interrupt your regularly scheduled Best TV in 2020 series, to bring you coverage of THE STAND episode one!! There was no way we could wait until January to start talking about this show, and Jasmin’s plan to cover 3 episodes at once was, perhaps, a little too ambitious. If you do not want to be spoiled on the book (or the TV show, though I think that goes without saying?) you may want to skip our coverage until you’ve had time to read it! Mells isn’t telling us everything about the novel, but she’s not holding back, either. Listen at your own risk! Before we dive into our thoughts on the premiere episode, we chat a bit about the holidays and our favourite holiday movies - yes, movies, not TV! What are your must-see holiday movies? More importantly, what kind of lights do you put on your tree? MOST importantly, what did you think of The Stand, episode one? 14:00 - The Stand, episode one Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 12 Nov 2021 | Twin Peaks Season 2: Damn Fine Outtakes | 01:02:35 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… It’s time for another outtakes episode! We’ve compiled nearly an hour’s worth of content that just didn’t make the cut during our coverage of Twin Peaks. These outtakes go all the way back to our season one recap episode, and go right through to season 2 episode 12. Plus, we even threw in a few actual bloopers - which go right up to S2 E15 - from all the times our tongues or brains betrayed us, and had us saying all the wrong things. We hope you enjoy these additional thoughts on Twin Peaks, and have a few laughs at some of our mishaps! Thanks again to our guests from these episodes: Emilia, Michael & Dave, Coral, and Abbie! And to Patrick for the latest addition to the Damn Fine Mix Tape: Leo Red Corvette! Theme Music: Scott Malone Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 07 Apr 2021 | Twin Peaks Season One: Cooper's Dreams | 01:36:21 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… WE GOT ANOTHER ONE! Dave from The Center Cut is officially a Peaks Freak! We were all stunned to hear the news - including Dave’s co-host, Michael - but obvi also pleasantly surprised. He even likes the Log Lady! It’s a great day in Damn Fine history. As always, the guys from The Center Cut brought their A game, and we had an awesome chat about episode six: “Cooper’s Dreams.” We theorize on why Audrey’s crying, why Shelly’s salon hair disappears, and we also get really into the logistics of Flesh World, So, if you’ve ever wanted a podcast that really dives into the ins and outs (gross?) of FW, this episode is for you! 85:40 - Spoiler Section

| 24 Feb 2022 | Twin Peaks The Return: Part 3 | 01:37:19 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We try our best to decipher the extremely strange and shocking events during Cooper’s journey from the Mauve Zone to Las Vegas. It’s an episode that had us asking, “what the fuck?” every few minutes, so it’s a good thing we enlisted the help of Patrick and Tyler from Talking Backwards so we could get to the bottom of whether or not it is about the bunny. (Spoiler alert: it is, but only kind of, and maybe not really at all.) Unfortunately, Dave couldn’t make it, but he did overnight us a few tapes from his dictaphone with plenty of his thoughts on the episode. We’d love to hear your thoughts on The Return Part Three or our coverage of it - head to our Instagram and hit us up in the comments section!

| 07 Jul 2020 | Twin Peaks The Return: Parts Fifteen & Sixteen | 01:43:21 | |
This week on Twin Peaks Tuesdays, it's the beginning of the end. Bittersweet is a word we used a lot to describe these episodes. Some characters are finally getting their happily ever after, but at the cost of 25 years spent apart. We say our final goodbye to someone very special, and though it's an absolutely beautiful tribute, it means never seeing them again. Other characters are reawakened or awakening for the first time, and as exciting as it all truly is, we can't help but think about there only being 2 episodes left!
So, go grab a damn fine coffee and meet us in the red room!

| 22 Oct 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: Slaves and Masters | 01:16:42 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We do our best to have some fun while discussing what we’ve deemed the worst episode of Twin Peaks - season 2, episode 15, “Slaves and Masters.” We’re not mad, we’re just disappointed, y’know? From direction choices that scream LOOK AT ME MA I’M JUST LIKE LYNCH, to an overabundance of James’ Wild Ride and Civil War plotlines, and the unnerving feeling we’ve been dropped into a stage production of Twin Peaks, this episode had us saying “excuse me, but there’s a turd in this one and we’d like to send it back.” Hey, at least Albert is around again! What are your thoughts on Slaves and Masters? Do you see any redeeming qualities than we couldn’t find? How do you feel about the directing work of Diane Keaton?

| 02 Sep 2020 | Dark, Watchmen, Lovecraft Country | 01:11:02 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast...Mells gives us an update on the west coast fires, and Jasmin goes on a rant about the lack of walking etiquette white men seem to have during this PANDEMIC (use of caps will make way more sense when you listen to the show.)
Then we get into some TV news about a couple of upcoming shows - The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Stand - and we take a little trip to the Bread Barbershop.
Mells is FINALLY watching Dark - we get into seasons one and two. Jasmin has FINALLY seen episode 2 of Watchmen - she shares her overall thoughts and gushes over Regina King. And, finally, we get into a discussion about the second episode of Lovecraft Country. Spoiler: it didn't blow us straight out of the way, but it still blew us to, like, the side.

| 14 Oct 2022 | The Midnight Club - Episodes 1 & 2 | 01:07:36 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… Grab a mug and meet us in the library by the fire, cause we’re kicking off our coverage of the new Netflix series, The Midnight Club. We discuss what worked for us and what didn’t, and whether we’re hopeful for the rest of the season. Also, the 90s are so back, and we are loving it! Have you watched the first 2 episodes of The Midnight Club yet? What did you think?! Will you continue watching? This episode was recorded LIVE during a P*treon exclusive hangout, and the video replay is available for ALL membership tiers right now.

| 20 Aug 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: Arbitrary Law | 01:34:53 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… Join us at the Roadhouse for some magical revelations as we cover “Arbitrary Law.” There’s romantic lunches for two in the Double R, a drugged orange drink masquerading as lemonade, and a storm rages in the town of Twin Peaks as we contemplate the idea that maybe Bob is just the evil that men do. Though the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer has reached its (seeming) conclusion, a handful of new mysteries have begun to materialize, and we find ourselves wondering: where do we go from here? What do you think about episode 9? Do you also find a certain sadness in having the answers? Would you agree that Laura Palmer feels more alive than ever? And just how much vaseline do you think they used on that filter for James and Donna’s scene at the Double R? Head over to our Instagram page to share your thoughts! 1:26:15 - Spoiler Section Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us... Thanks for listening; see you soon! | |||
| 13 Feb 2020 | Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - Part 3, Episodes 7 & 8 | 02:07:04 | |
Well, that's it! That's a wrap on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Part 3! Despite some mixed emotions on these final two episodes, Jasmin and Mells are sad to say goodbye to Sa...well, to Zelda, Prudence, and Ambrose, at least. It's been a fun few weeks, and these ladies learned that the REAL Tardigrade Mysteries were the friends you made along the way...or maybe it's the doubles you made of yourself while messing with time loops and traipsing around the 9th circle of Hell? Something to that effect anyways! This dynamic duo will be back to cover CAOS: Part 4 whenever Hecate blesses us with new episodes...
But, until then, Jasmin and Mells aren't going anywhere!
Make sure you stay tuned for the Weekly Watch, a brand new show coming to you every Friday, where Jasmin and Mells talk ALL things TV. Basically, if they've been watching it, they'll be talking about it. It's going to be a bit of an experiment at first, but it should be a fun one. The first episode of the Weekly Watch will drop on Feb. 21, so if you haven't already subscribed to The Damn Fine TV Podcast, you might want to now!

| 28 Jul 2020 | Twin Peaks: Final Thoughts...for now | 01:31:30 | |
This week on Twin Peaks Tuesdays, Mells and I bid farewell (for now) to our beloved Twin Peaks. We do our best to summarize our journey through watching and reviewing the show, while freely admitting that it truly is something you just have to experience, and words often fail to do it justice.
Still, we give it our all in the theories section, and then essentially throw all those theories out the window, by making the argument that plot just isn't as important as vibe and atmosphere in Twin Peaks. Almost any theory about what this show "means" is correct and that's the way we like it!
We also discuss our thoughts on what a possible season four of Twin Peaks could look like. Finally, we explore some ideas on how to keep Twin Peaks a part of the DFTV pod moving forward, like with themed episodes centering on topics like: dreams, Tarot, coolness (re: James Hurley), nostalgia, color palette and more!
Apologies for the scratchiness on Jasmin's mic; not sure what happened and hope it's not too annoying! Don't forget, we'll be on break for the next two weeks, and will return with our Weekly Watch pod on August 19. See you then!

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… So, it was like, electricity? You bet your butts it was! We could feel the energy that surges through The Return Part 16 while we recorded this episode, and damn did it make for a wonderful and strange chat! There’s no better episode to be amped up about though, considering all the epic moments it holds. There’s Richard’s electrifying demise, Chantal & Hutch’s fiery exit, Diane’s shocking identity reveal, Audrey’s jolt back to…reality? And Cooper is 100% charged and back in action!

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… OMG we’re back again! At the risk of repeating ourselves - for the 25 billionth time - we are SUPER STOKED to be back in the world of The Return. There’s cryptic clues and glass boxes, tanned doppelgängers and dead bodies, shovel deliveries and chats with old friends, and so much more weirdness for us to devour. We hope you’ll come along as we drive down this dark road at night, Finers. This episode also features round 2 of February’s Black Lodge White Lodge!

Plus, we’ve got a packed spoiler section this week. Among other things, we chat about our love for The Return.

This Time on Damn Fine TV… We’re getting all dolled (and dosed) up for Doomcoming, with very special guest Abbie Darling! Join us as we drink rotten berries and sing along to Kiss From A Rose. As we caw-caw at the Full Moon, and contemplate a possibly demonic presence in the Canadian wilderness. The more the merrier, apparently, as a sudden influx of girls we’ve never ever seen before has us wondering, are we the mushrooms? Plus, we hate to break it to you, but there is NO book club. You can join a pretty cool club of people that own a custom piece of jewellery or upcycled clothing from the fabulous Abbie Darling.

| 26 Aug 2020 | Lovecraft Country, Selling Sunset, I May Destroy You | 00:57:45 | |
This week on the show, we talk about the fires on the west coast (hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!), vacation hangovers, and the cancellation of a Netflix show we're pretty bummed about.
Then we discuss a couple of shows we've been watching recently - Selling Sunset and I May Destroy You - before getting into the main event: Lovecraft Country. We are both super pumped about the premiere of this show and cannot wait to see where the season takes us.
Yes, we realize episode 2 has already aired at this point, but due to our recording schedule, we'll always be a week behind. Oh well, just pretend you get to time travel to the past each week when listening to the show!
9:00 - Selling Sunset
16:05 - I May Destroy You

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather that Twin Peaks has to offer in March. Join us for a day of seasonal activities including: a quiet boat ride on the lake, an afternoon nature study, a local wine tasting, some papier mâché chess piece crafting, a walk through Owl Cave, and, of course, a stop at the Double R diner for massive quantities of pie and coffee. Plus, treat yourself to a dinner of peas!

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… You can all stop licking your jail cell bars and having your planchette-induced wet dreams, because we are back with more coverage of The Stand! This week, episodes 2 and 3 are in the spotlight. They were both a bit of a mixed bag, and so we have some very mixed feelings about them. One thing we absolutely agree on? Offering someone a million dollars in the apocalypse is just downright stupid. Oh, and Alexander Skarsgard is perfect as Randall Flagg! Just a reminder that, next week we’ll be chatting about the final season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and then we’ll return to our coverage of The Stand the following week. From there, we’ll be rotating back and forth until we finish both shows. 4:20 - The Stand audiobook Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 17 Mar 2021 | Twin Peaks Season One: Rest in Pain | 01:26:57 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… THIS IS NOT A DRILL - Mells has declared herself a Bobby girl!!! Okay, well, just for this episode, but STILL! But wasn’t Bobby just too dreamy this week? We love how he turned Laura’s funeral upside down, calling out the people of Twin Peaks - including himself - for not doing a damn thing to help Laura when she needed it most. We also love the echoes between Bobby’s truth-telling and the secrets of the woods that Harry and the Bookhouse Boys reveal to Coop. We dish on all of that, plus some fun behind the scenes details about Invitation to Love, some thoughts on Leland’s grieving process, and the real reason they call him “Big” Ed. 1:14:30 - Spoiler Section Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

Submitted for the approval of our Damn Fine Listeners… It’s our first ever bonus episode! Come join us as we chat about the classic Canadian horror anthology series, Are You Afraid of the Dark? We watched “The Tale of the Frozen Ghost” and “The Tale of the Nightly Neighbours” and we had a lot of thoughts! How much are gold coins worth? Is it a stereotype that rich people always overpack? Can you staple a window shut to protect against vampires? Is Dayday a real name? And if you can’t get enough of us, or AYAOTD? then come join us this afternoon, 1pm PST and 4pm EST on Instagram Live!

| 01 Jul 2022 | Twin Peaks The Return: Part 17 | 01:26:58 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… Our BFFs from Talking Backwards (minus Tyler, sadly) are back to help us take a deep dive into The Return: Part 17. And it’s a good thing too, because we have a lot of questions. Like, why did Gordon keep such important info from Albert? Was Andy putting on a show for Mr. C? Can Freddie see bloody-face-Billy-the-drunk? Why is James here? Which Cooper does the superimposed face belong to? Why doesn’t the One Armed Man talk backwards anymore? Why does Jeffries say “you can go IN now?” (He’s obviously as crass as the Damn Fine Duo since he also mentioned how slippery things were in there!) And does Cooper like Candy and her sandwiches, or is he over it? We’d love to hear your thoughts on The Return Part Seventeen, or our coverage of it - head to our Instagram and hit us up in the comments section!

We hope you did the reading, Finers, cause it’s time for Book Club! The Damn Fine Duo could not let the phenomenal first season of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” pass by without sitting down to chat about it, and we decided to bring Coral - @wholesomepeaks - along for the ride! We dive into some of the biggest questions left unanswered as the show heads into its first finale, such as… Who’s in the pit? Who’s the Antler Queen? Who else survives? Is something supernatural happening out in the woods? Who among them goes full cannibal? Are these girls gonna eat Shauna’s baby?! And so much more! Obviously there are major spoilers for episodes 1-9 of Yellowjackets, but there are also a few Twin Peaks spoilers peppered in here and there. (Are you even surprised?) We would LOVE to know your thoughts on Yellowjackets so far - are there any theories from our coverage that you’re on board with? Any you think are too wild to be true?

OMG we're back again! Welcome to Season Four of the Damn Fine TV Podcast!
This week on the show, we shoot the shit about life for a bit - discussing everything from 90s music, to what to plant in a desert climate - before getting into a chat about all the TV we've been watching lately - including Schitt's Creek, Umbrella Academy, and The Rain.
We also chat about a movie so good (in our humble opinions) it was worth breaking our TV only format: Doctor Sleep. Finally, we dish on some shows we're looking forward to and will be covering in the coming weeks.
12:50 - Schitt's Creek
25:10 - Umbrella Academy
55:50 - Doctor Sleep

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re joined by friend of the show and strange theory crafter, Emilia, to help us break down the events of season two, episode two: “Coma.” You may remember Emilia’s theories from our season one recap episode, and she brings even more wild and unique ideas to the pod this time around! For example: she doesn’t trust Coop, but thinks Hank might be an alright guy after all. The strange doesn’t stop there either, cause Jasmin doesn’t hate James in this episode and is pretty mad at Bobby. What is going on in this house?! And for those who’ll join us, Mells makes an amazing connection to The Return in the spoiler section and blows Jasmin’s mind. 1:24:35 - Spoiler Section If you wanna chat more with Emilia about her theories, check her out here: @_emilia.bedelia_ Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… It’s kind of a big week over here at DFTV, as we learn just how old Jasmin was turning on the exact evening when Laura Palmer’s murderer was revealed to the world. Oh, and I guess we’re also covering the episode with that very reveal! So, set your records to skip, and join us as we discuss Twin Peaks season two episode seven: “Lonely Souls.” It’s a massive episode, so we had to have some friends come help us break it down, and we were thrilled to have Michael and Dave from The Center Cut podcast join us once again. As always, they bring some incredible insights and so many laughs! Do you remember the first time you saw this episode?

| 01 Nov 2019 | AHS: 1984 - Ep.7 - "The Lady in White" | 01:02:28 | |
Hey Finers! (How's that name working for you?) I'm joined this week by my fiancé, Tyler, to discuss episode 7 of AHS season 9. Our reviews on "The Lady in White" are mixed, but we both agree that ice skating is OUT and roller skating is so totally IN! Also, rearview mirrors are boss and you should definitely use them if you're fleeing a serial killer. Just a tip from us here at Damn Fine TV!
As not usual, (some might say, unusual) there's no This Week in TV segment for this episode, but I do talk very briefly about how much I'm loving this season of Mr. Robot - episode 4 in particular.

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re looking for secrets as we explore the happenings of Twin Peaks, season two, episode five, “The Orchid’s Curse.” Lucy’s heading out of town, Bobby finally makes an appearance, Harold has turned his front porch into a frog friendly habitat, the Roadhouse cleans up the floors and cancels its live performances to become a court house, and we find out that Hawk is actually the best Bookhouse Boy of them all. Plus, Mells tells us about a 90s show that was known as “Twin Peaks for kids”, and we take a small detour to discuss our love for Kill Bill.

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast…
Come join us by the fire one last time, as we wrap our coverage of The Midnight Club…though maybe not forever? Is this thing getting a second season?! Will this cliffhanger turn out to be our own eternal enemy? Only time will tell, we suppose. So, until then, let’s stay busy with a chat about the final 2 episodes of this season, and our thoughts on the season overall.
How did you feel about the finale? Did it leave you hungry for more like the ghosts haunting Ilonka? Or did it leave a bad taste in your mouth like Shasta’s ritual potion surely would? Head to our Instagram to share your thoughts & feels!

| 16 Jan 2023 | Yellowjackets - Season 1 Episode 4 | 01:01:17 | |
This Time on Damn Fine TV… We’re drinking shitty vodka with Shauna, fancy champagne with Tai, and chocolate martinis with Misty, as we chat about Yellowjackets episode 4 - “Bear Down.” Here’s a question for you Finers, what helps you poop? Is it the sweet sound of Misty Quigley’s singing voice? Or perhaps the deliciousness of a rich person being told to fuck themselves? Or maybe you need something more intense, like coming nose to nose with a moving plane? Whatever you need, we hope you’re staying regular and enjoying our rewatch!

| 16 Jun 2020 | Twin Peaks The Return: Parts Nine & Ten | 01:41:19 | |
This week on Twin Peaks Tuesdays, we're covering Parts Nine and Ten. These episodes feel a like a bit of a shaky landing after the wild ride of Part Eight; Gotta Light is one hell of a tough act to follow. These may not be our favourite episodes, but they've still got some incredible moments - Bill Hastings! Holy shit! Matthew Lillard is SO underrated - and a ton of plot development that gets us excited for what's to come - just what in the hell is Diane up to with those texts?? And, of course, we're so here for Constance and Albert, and we loved getting another beautiful monologue from the Log Lady.
So, go grab a damn fine coffee and meet us in the red room!

| 17 Dec 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: Miss Twin Peaks | 01:10:34 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… Cue the chorus line music, the strobe lights, and the cheater brand Laug Lady - it’s time to talk about Twin Peaks, season 2, episode 21, “Miss Twin Peaks.” The final sequence of this episode easily takes the winner’s crown, but there are plenty of runners-up along the way. Like Audrey in that red dress - wowzers! Or when Cooper says the word “ephemeris” and Jasmin goes into schwing overload. Then there’s Andrew’s relatable rage when he shoots the silver box, making Mells feel seen since she wants to do the same to her computer most days. Or how about Windom’s amazing monologue about fear being his favourite emotional state?! And it’s always nice to see Major Briggs back with the good guys and out of harm’s way. The King of Romania may be unable to attend, but we’re so glad you could be here, Finers! We’d love to hear your thoughts on “Miss Twin Peaks” or our coverage of it - head to our Instagram and hit us up in the comments section! 58:35 - Spoiler Section Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

Just me again, back to discuss episode 2 of American Horror Story: 1984. Another banger episode with ghosts, flashbacks, gore, and lots more. Also, I've got THEORIES!
Before I dive into that, though, I chat about a few shows I've been watching this week. I stay as vague as possible, but you may want to steer clear of the first 10 minutes if you haven't seen: On Becoming A God In Central Florida, Emergence, or the season 4 premiere of This Is Us.

| 03 Feb 2021 | The Stand: Episodes 6 & 7 | 01:29:53 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We talk about how awful socks are; just pull your leggings over that foot hump! We wonder if TikTok is a safe place for 40 year old Moms - and throw a bit of shade at the youngins. And we ask some tough questions: Backstreet Boys or N’Sync? Oh, and we also talk about The Stand, episodes 6 and 7, but that’s really just a sidebar. Here are the highlights: they did Trashy dirty. Flagg and Nadine are the best kind of dirty. Kojak is a good boy. Next Week: CAOS Episodes 7 & 8 20:40 - Episode 6 Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 02 Jan 2023 | Yellowjackets - Season 1 Episode 3 | 01:02:38 | |
This time on Damn Fine TV… The Yellowjackets say goodbye to their friend and hello to some fresh digs. Only issue - it’s potentially haunted?! How much more can our gals handle at this point? Shauna escalates things with Adam begging the question once again is Adam hotter than Jeff? Nat and Misty bond over the musical soundtrack for Cats and Taissa struggles to balance home/life as her opponent takes a real “bite” into the competition. All this and more in our coverage for Yellowjackets episode 3, “The Dollhouse” with special guest Coral from Wholesome Peaks. Some questions for you; Was Flex always hot? Why was Adam really at the hotel? Would you have left the plane in search of higher ground? And perhaps as equally important - what’s in the woods and is it the person with no eyes?? *This episode is available in video format on Spotify and Patreon.

Stranger Things is back, and it’s darker and scarier than ever - probably because everyone is in high school now. Remember high school? Terrifying.

| 29 Apr 2022 | Twin Peaks The Return: Part 10 | 01:17:43 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We all know dreams are a prominent theme in Twin Peaks, and The Return Part 10 definitely reps the nightmare side of all that. It’s a very tough and heavy episode with a lot of violence, some of which, we argue, is completely unnecessary. Still, there are some bright spots in all the darkness, like Margaret’s beautiful poem and the reveal that Nadine’s own dreams have finally become a reality. This podcast is also available in video format over on our Patreon page!

| 03 Mar 2021 | Twin Peaks Season One: Traces to Nowhere | 01:40:23 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re breaking down the second episode of Twin Peaks: Traces to Nowhere, and we invited a couple of fellow Peaks Freaks to help us out - Michael and Dave from @the_center_cut ! Okay, so Dave might be less the Freak and more the “I liked it more than I thought I would” type, but, you know, we made it work. Even though his feelings on the Log Lady are highly questionable, he disliked James as much as we do, so he’s alright in our books. Michael has some great fish-in-the-percolator theories, and he even sticks around for the spoiler section to chat about some fun connections between season one and season three. If you’ve never seen Twin Peaks before, don’t worry about getting spoiled, as we’ll be saving any discussion of future events for the very ends of our episodes.

As we explore the woods with a faulty compass, we’re contemplating things like… is Tai’s ancestry connected to wolves? How in the hell did Jackie find Shauna’s journal?

Did they get a lump of coal for Christmas?

If that’s you - do you understand what’s going on? Do you care about the characters? Let us know!

This week on Twin Peaks Tuesdays, we discuss the many ways in which Twin Peaks challenges our emotional outlook on certain topics - like cheering for the bad guy when he's up against other bad guys, how nostalgia can make you like bad songs, and why the simple act of packing sandwiches for a trip to the woods can carry so much weight. We also talk about how Twin Peaks continues to masterfully create such a porous space between dreams and waking life. Plus, we definitely know a lot about crimes and gangs, and we prove it...jk.

| 19 Sep 2019 | AHS: 1984 - Ep. 1 - "Camp Redwood" | 00:37:07 | |
The Damn Fine TV podcast is finally back! I'm flying solo this week, chatting about "Camp Redwood", the first episode of American Horror Story: 1984. Choice! Rad! Boss! Other 80s slang! This episode was gory, cheesy, tropey, and a whole hell of a lot of FUN.
Corrections: Gus Kenworthy plays the role of Chet, who is fine, but I meant to give a shout out to the actor playing Ray, DeRon Horton. My apologies for the mixup! I'll be sure to also mention this in next week's podcast.
I'd love for you to get in touch, so hit me up at damnfinepod@gmail.com OR come chat with me on social media: https://www.instagram.com/jasmin_lila_/ & https://twitter.com/DamnFineTV See you next week!

This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… It’s time for another round of outtakes! Before we say goodbye to Twin Peaks season 2, we’re sharing some of the content that just didn’t make the cut for our regular episodes.

We repeat DO NOT LISTEN UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN ALL OF TWIN PEAKS! All that PLUS, we kick off a new game of Black Lodge White Lodge! 5 new contestants have entered the Black Lodge…who will find their way out this time? Stay tuned!

| 28 Feb 2020 | Weekly Watch: This is NOT a Riverdale podcast | 01:25:09 | |
Well, Jasmin and Mells are back on their FP Jones bullshit this week. Meaning, things are pretty much business as usual around here! Also, fair warning: if you like Home Alone 3, this is probably not the right podcast for you.
Riverdale 3:30 / American Horror Story 13:25 / Outlander 23:50 / The Walking Dead 27:25 / The Magicians 36:00 / The Sinner 37:10 / I Am Not Okay With This 41:35 / Locke & Key 46:40 / The Outsider 55:30

| 08 Oct 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: Checkmate | 01:25:56 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We begin in space. Or is it the woods? Those worlds begin to collide as we discuss Twin Peaks, season 2, episode 13: “Checkmate.” Twin Peaks begins to collide with itself, too, as this episode holds many references and echoes to past events. It’s a juicy episode - sorry, we promise to stop using that word now - with just the right balance of shadow and light. We’re back on the whiplash-giving rollercoaster that is Bobby and Shelly. We’re sleuthing with Andy and Dick. We pass some love notes with Ed and Norma. We empty our savings account with James. We do not take part in the Civil War. And we say goodbye to one of the show’s best villains, the incomparable, the suave, the perfectly-accented, Jean Renault. What are your thoughts on the episode? What was your favourite moment? Did you love Jean Renault’s final monologue as much as we did? How do you feel about Ben Horne at this point? Head over to our Instagram to chat with us! 1:20:50 - Spoiler Section Thanks for listening; see you soon! *we do not claim any ownership of any audio clips that aren't our own voices* | |||
| 17 Sep 2021 | Twin Peaks Season Two: Masked Ball | 01:26:32 | |
This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast… We’re hitting the open road with our old pal James, as we cover Twin Peaks, season 2, episode 11, “Masked Ball.” Our actual friend - Coral of Wholesome Peaks fame on Instagram - joined us to help break down the episode, and thank goodness she did because there’s a hell of a lot going on here. We’re introduced to the lovely Denise, the mischievous Little Nicky, and the always extra Evelyn Marsh. We finally get a high school plot - centered around a grown woman, of course. Windom Earle is still lurking in the shadows of a chess board, Hank is somehow higher in the food chain than Ben now, Josie’s backstory is developed, we learn more about the White Lodge (and its shadow, the Black Lodge), and just to add to all that narrative chaos, someone comes “back” from the dead. We need your Questions for our 100th episode, Ask Us Anything special. Head over to Instagram to leave us a Q on this post (or the first call for Qs post), send us a DM, or drop us an email: damnfinepod@gmail.com Thanks to everyone who has sent us Qs already - we are so excited to dig into them! 1:15:30 - Spoiler Section Coral on IG - https://www.instagram.com/wholesomepeaks/ Until next time, here's where you can come hang with us...

| 23 Jun 2020 | Twin Peaks The Return: Parts Eleven & Twelve | 01:41:18 | |
This week on the show we're talking all about secret codes, nostalgia and fan service, the sad and scary realities for Sarah Palmer and Audrey Horne, the importance of dreams, and, once again, the fact that Bobby Briggs could absolutely, 100% get it. (Get your shit together, Shelly.)
We've decided to deputize ourselves into the Blue Rose Task Force - I mean, that's how that works, right? - so, go grab a damn fine coffee, or a nice Bordeaux, and meet us in the red room!

We discuss two episodes from the original series - “The Hitch-Hiker” and “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” - as well as an episode from the 2019 Jordan Peele reboot - “Not All Men.” As always, we take some time up top to shoot the shit about life and what we’ve been up to this past week. We discuss gender reveals, howling at the moon, and the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man. 6:35 - The Invisible Man (minor spoilers) Want us to discuss a certain show or TV related topic on an upcoming episode?

This week on the show… We have Fall-en deep into Autumn and Spooky Season, with chats about train rides through pumpkin patches, and finding your home away from home at a Spirit Halloween. We also tease our upcoming appearance on @wackbrackets - stay tuned for more details on that episode’s drop date. Then we get into the main event: The Haunting of Bly Manor, episodes 5 through 7. These three episodes just keep amping up the horror and the tragedy, and we are here for every minute of it. We also share some truly wild theories about where the finale could be heading.

| 07 Nov 2019 | AHS: 1984 - Ep. 8 - "Rest in Pieces" | 00:29:23 | |
Hey Finers! (gonna stick with this for now :-) I'm back solo this week to chat about episode 8 of AHS season 9, "Rest in Pieces." It's a bit of a quick and dirty episode as it's a busy week around the Damn Fine TV household, but, don't worry, I give Dylan McDermott all the praise he deserves!
For about the first 10 minutes of the show, in what's quickly becoming the Mr. Robot check-in, I discuss, well, Mr. Robot. This is the definition of a Damn Fine TV Show! I hope you're watching!
