Wax Episodic | Obsessive TV Talk with Jason Cabassi

Lanterns S1E3 "OutKast"

So great to get some of John’s backstory this week, making it much more clear why his parents set him on this years-long course to become a Green Lantern. A thoughtfully

Lanterns S1E2 "Trust Fall"

Things are getting complicated this week, with details about who these aliens are and why they came to Rushville, Nebraska, and questions about what William Macon is up t

Lanterns S1E1 "Pilot"

Lanterns opens strong with an episode that manages to slip in a ton of expositional Green Lantern lore, an intriguing small town mystery, a bunch colorful characters all

Intro to Lanterns

We’re back for another new show! Yes, this show is about members of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic peacekeeping force whose members wear rings that give them p

Silo S3E1-5

Surprise! Here’s Jason, Veronica, and Amelie with coverage of the first five episodes of Apple TV’s dystopian sci-fi mystery, Silo! Synopsis: In a dystopian future where

Severance S2E10 "Cold Harbor"

The season really went out in grand fashion, with Innie and Outie Mark in a fierce argument with one another, a boisterous in-office marching band celebrating Mark’s comp

Severance S2E9 "The After Hours"

So much heartbreak in this episode, between Gretchen breaking things off with Innie Dylan, Burt and Irving separating, Mark suffering and frustrated, and we even felt bad

Severance S2E8 "Sweet Vitriol"

Of course as we suspected, viewing this episode through our analytical podcaster’s lens we found a lot to dig into and appreciate about this episode and it’s implications

Severance S2E7 "Chikhai Bardo"

What a surprising, beautiful, romantic, tragic, f#$ked up episode this week. We found it especially impactful seeing (and feeling) Mark and Gemma’s relationship and life

Severance S2E6 "Attila"

An episode of thruples (sometimes with only two people), and so of course we invited in a third, listener Damian, for this week’s podcast. Enjoy! Next up on Severance: S

Severance S2E5 "Trojan's Horse"

An angsty episode this week as the Innies have a funeral for Irving and wrestle with the complications of recent events, and Milchick suffers the indignity of the dreaded

Severance S2E4 "Woe's Hollow"

Interesting how with just a simple change of scenery, all the weirdness of this show just kind of disappears. Just kidding, MDR’s excursion to the wintery and bleakly bea

Severance S2E3 "Who Is Alive?"

An odd, lovable episode this week, with a lot of small movement on various fronts. I mean, I suppose you could describe like 75% of all Severance episodes that way…. This

Severance S2E2 "Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig"

Is it weird that when we get an episode exclusively set in the outside world that we miss the office? Well, we did find a ton to love about this one too, because this sho

Severance S2E1 "Hello, Ms. Cobel"

A propulsive (and yet regressive?) first episode of the season, bringing up new questions and feeling like things have been frustratingly papered over in that way that on

Severance S1E9 "The We We Are"

Is this one of the all-time great episodes of TV ever? Would I be asking that question if we didn’t think it was? Possibly.  Next up on Severance: The season two premier

Severance S1E8 "What's for Dinner?"

The quarter is over, the quotas have all been met, and the innies are making a metaphorical break for it. This week Karen is joined by special guest Lucy for a discussion

Severance S1E7 "Defiant Jazz"

The innies have HAD IT this week, and we don’t blame them. Also, Milchick has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (and well deserved) day. The smug motherf#$%r.  Men

Severance S1E6 "Hide and Seek"

Ooh, some open defiance on the Severed Floor this week. Can you imagine actually asking your boss what you do? Just kidding, but we’re glad things are kicking into a high

Severance S1E5 "The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design"

The Severed workers are finally starting to question Lumon and show a little bit of that defiant, rebellious spirit, in part because of (of all things) Dr. Ricken Lazlo H
