Advertise on podcast: As You Know

We're revving up our Harleys and getting patched into SAMCRO as we discuss Sons of Anarchy, one of the monumental Dumb Guy shows of its era. We'll ask hard hitting questions such as: What level of wife guy is Kurt Sutter? Would any of us ride a motorcycle? And what if this show is actually good?

Come on, grab your friends as we travel to the land of Ooo and discuss Adventure Time, a show we all love with a particularly profound effect on Stephen.

With "Tony" arriving in theaters this week, we opted to have a freewheeling discussion on the beloved Anthony Bourdain and his final television series, Parts Unknown. Join us as we talk about his exploration of Myanmar during its brief period of opening up, and then the elegiac finale about Manhattan's Lower East Side and whether or not it would have actually sucked to hang out in the East Village in the late 70s.

For the first time we take a look at very specific type of television program: the animated spinoff of a contemporary film that may or may not have been appropriate for children, or even a particularly popular or well-liked movie. In this case, Godzilla: The Series, based on Roland Emmerich's reviled Godzilla (1998). What if Godzilla was your friend and fought other monsters? And had a diverse team of distinct personalities guiding him, plus a robot? Join us for a laser focused discussion.

Let's attempt to untangle the mess of a franchise that none of us are even sure if we like that much by discussing Star Wars: Clone Wars--the only canon non-movie from before the Disney merger. What are your favorite Star Wars names? Would Yoda be an ethical hooper? Does Star Wars still need to exist? We try to answer those questions and more.

We're going to podcast at the Rivoli! Fresh off the success of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, we trek up north to discuss the Canadian cult series from which it spawned. Much like the film, we have so many questions about how this was made.

Easily on the shortlist of funniest TV shows ever made, 30 Rock is a show near and dear to our hearts. So join us as we try to take a closer look at it but mostly reel off our favorite jokes and gags.

Our long-delayed trip to Westeros is finally here for your listening pleasure. Ian and Stephen try their best to explain the massive global phenomenon that was Game of Thrones to a man who never saw the appeal. This episode almost certainly has the most proper nouns of anything we've done.

We're back in the Ryan Murphy mines to talk about the most cursed show of the 21st century, Glee. Let's examine the weird clashing of earnestness and cynicism at the heart of the show, some questionable political forecasting, and a sneaking suspicion that our stars aren't actually all that good at musical theater.

We are belatedly kicking off the new year with Animaniacs, a cartoon about horrifying creatures terrorizing the good, hard-working employees of Warner Bros. with toon violence and low grade assault. Many great jokes that also have us asking "who is this for?"

Our first foray into SyFy original programming is The Magicians, a show that if nothing else was really going for it all the time. We're divided on the quality of the series, the concept, and if "railing" is a purely physical act. But we love the talking rabbits.

For possibly the first time since NGE, we covered a show that ended with a movie that we actually liked. Adult Swim's most celebrated(?) series, The Venture Bros. had a long and strange history and is a difficult to describe pastiche of 60s adventure cartoons and comic books, but remained funny throughout. This episode could just be a list of character names.

In the wake of the success of Lost, networks greenlit many of their own attempts to capture that vibe. Maybe none were more notable than Heroes, which was huge for a minute and then promptly forgotten. Let's remember some 2000s guys.

We're off to Puppetland as we try to explain the phenomenon that was Pee-wee Herman, one of the most inexplicable great comedy personas in history. Would you move into a house where every object is alive? Can we do any of the various Pee-wee voices? And can Ian make it through the podcast without saying the Word of the Day?

Good evening, ladies and ghouls, it's spooky season so we are taking a look at the classic HBO anthology series Tales From the Crypt. We debate many important questions, like "Should the Cryptkeeper be canceled?" and "Why is the last episode of this an animated twist on the Three Little Pigs?"
