A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms S1 Episode 1&2 - Eggheads
2026/01/29
Was Ser Arlan a great knight… or just a glorified hedge rider? In Episode 2 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Dunk’s growing uncertainty about his late mentor’s legacy becomes the emotional and thematic centerpiece of the hour. Brandon & Chanel break down this soul-searching installment, where chivalry meets hard reality, and Westeros reveals its complicated truth: knighthood is more about ideals than titles—and sometimes, those ideals are a lie.In this week’s recap, we explore:🛡️ Dunk’s evolving view of Ser Arlan: From idolized to interrogated⚔️ What defines a “true knight” in Westeros? The difference between vows, titles, and virtue🐺 Hedge knights vs. landed knights vs. household knights: Who serves, who strays, and who survives?🏰 Class, merit, and mythology: The lesson Dunk learns about Ser Donnel of Duskendale🔨 Steely Pate’s armor, vanity vs. utility, and the truth about ceremonial knighthood🙏 The Seven oils and the unfinished ceremony: What knighting really looks like under the Faith of the Seven🤯 George R.R.

Industry Season 4 Episode 3 - Oyster Mouth Wash
2026/01/27
Everyone’s pitching. Everyone’s posturing. And everyone’s got something to lose. In Industry Season 4, Episode 3 (“Habseligkeiten”), the tension ratchets up on both sides of the Atlantic as Harper and Yasmin maneuver through billion-dollar deals, media manipulation, and high-stakes personal drama. The theme? Sell it or sink.Brandon & Chanel break down this packed episode:Harper and Eric pitch SternTao to high-net-worth investors — and walk away with $90M (but at what cost?)Sweetpea brings the receipts (again!) — only to face Rishi, a box of shady Tender transactions, and major betrayalYasmin and Henry schmooze their way through a decadent Austrian merger mission — with Nazis, nepotism, and op-eds on “benevolent dictatorship”That final painting reveal? Hitler. Yes, really.Hayley confesses she slept with Dycker, the FinDigest journalist… and Yasmin’s reaction? ChillingHarper’s spinning: fights with Kwabena, fights with Eric, fights with everyone — and “Orinoco Flow” is on blastThe Jeffrey scene is pure procedural gold — and quietly one of the most haunting discoveries in the series so farHenry’s pitch to Bevan goes better than expected, but merger turbulence is comingYasmin & Hayley’s tension (and seduction?) brews in the background — and might be the next powder kegKenny’s back! And still waxing poetic about sell-side servitudeThis might be Industry’s most layered, morally grey, and narratively sharp episode yet. There are Nazis in castles, billionaires peddling trauma, women doing deals in the woods, and Harper spinning out in a haze of cigarettes, short positions, and heartbreak. Industry Season 4 is in peak form — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every backstab and Bloomberg terminal refresh.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter: @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram: @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe: / @wewaswatching

Fallout Season 2 Episode 3 - Okie Dokie
2026/01/08
This episode is a radioactive cocktail of drugs, drama, and absolute chaos — and we loved every second. In Fallout Season 2, Episode 4 (Claws for Concern), Lucy spirals into addiction-fueled badassery, Maximus launches a Brotherhood civil war, and the Ghoul confronts a nightmare straight out of Vault-Tec’s darkest vault.Brandon & Chanel break down the madness:Lucy becomes a med-junkie and goes full John Wick on greaser ghouls at New Vegas’ gatesThe Ghoul remembers the deathclaw from the Alaskan Front — and now it’s backTheir staredown in the Strip’s ruins is visually stunning — practical sets, not CGI sludgeMan of the hour: Maximus refuses to kill, outs himself as a ghoul-sympathizer, and starts a civil warThaddeus’s turn as “fake Xander” is the funniest thing in the wastelandVault drama heats up: Steph’s dark Canadian past is revealed, Reg hoards water, and Woody reports… to StephNorm plays dumb with thawed-out Vault-Tec cultists while secretly learning the truthA deathclaw looms, a Brotherhood airship crashes, and Lucy is this close to getting eatenThis episode doesn’t rely on spectacle — it earns every laugh, gasp, and “oh shit” moment. Whether it’s child labor satire, drug-induced courage, or ghouls turning soft for dogs, Fallout remains the most exciting thing on TV. Brandon & Chanel are here to break it down like Maximus breaking Brotherhood code.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter: @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram: @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Fallout #FalloutS2 #LucyMacLean #TheGhoul #Maximus #Deathclaw #VaultTec #BrotherhoodOfSteel #AmazonPrime #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #PostApocalypticTV #VideoGameAdaptation #DruggedLucy #VaultDrama
Fallout Season 2 Episodes 2 & 3 - I need it cuz you know im a Fiend
2026/01/03
Fallout continues to blow our irradiated minds — and it’s not even trying that hard. In Episode 3 of Season 2, “I Don’t Need Your Civil War,” the story leaps across timelines, factions, and body counts with confidence, carnage, and surprising tenderness. It's funny, brutal, smart as hell, and genuinely shocking, all in one post-apocalyptic package.Brandon & Chanel break down this absolute banger of an episode:Lucy’s crucifixion and the Legion’s cruelty — and how Macaulay Culkin stole the sceneThe Ghoul’s dynamite plan — literally — and his surprisingly tender scenes with his new dogCooper’s flashback: award ceremonies, anti-war rants, and awkward urinal chats with Robert House“Behold, the dimness of the sword”: Maximus’s path to Brotherhood rebellion beginsRocket hammers, child labor at the soda plant, and one very dark Xander revealMaximus makes a choice — and starts a civil war with one headshotThe robot Victor is back (and maybe evil?), plus Jon Gries as Biff is perfect castingWhy Fallout's satire hits harder than ever, especially while it roasts the very platform it's airing onFrom nukes to fascists to hammer-smashing child-murderers, Fallout doesn’t pull punches — and Brandon & Chanel are here to break it down beat-by-beat, one radioactive punchline at a time.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Fallout #FalloutS2 #LucyMacLean #TheGhoul #Maximus #RobertHouse #BrotherhoodOfSteel #PrimeVideo #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #PostApocalypticTV #VideoGameAdaptation #FalloutLegion #CivilWarFallout
Pluribus Season 1 Episode 9 - Many Joined Wish Death Upon Me
2025/12/24
The end of the world isn’t loud — it’s chosen. In Pluribus Episode 9 (“La Chica o El Mundo”), Carol faces the ultimate choice: save humanity or save the woman she loves. After nine episodes of grief, paranoia, denial, and moral uncertainty, Vince Gilligan delivers a quietly explosive ending — capped off by the show’s biggest twist yet.
Brandon & Chanel unpack the finale’s deepest truths and toughest questions:
Carol finally meets Manousos — and their alliance is immediately tested
Zosia and the Others double down on charm… and slowly disappear into Carol’s life
The rebuilt diner, the kiss, and the emotional manipulation: does Zosia truly love Carol? Or is it strategy?
The stem cell reveal: Carol’s eggs are the key to her assimilation
Kusimayu’s cultural erasure pushes Carol back into fight mode — too late?
Manousos’s signal test ends in horror, but might also be humanity’s last hope
Carol makes her choice… and shows up at Manousos’s door with an atom bomb
Final line: “You win. We save the world.” Cut to credits, cue Conquistadora
This finale cements Pluribus as a genre-defying meditation on grief, agency, and what it means to belong. Is Carol a savior? A narcissist? A tragic romantic? All of the above? Brandon & Chanel are here to break it all down — one missed voicemail and mind-virus metaphor at a time.

Pluribus Season 1 Episode 8 - Before You Turn off the Lights
2025/12/20
Can you charm someone into assimilation? In Pluribus Episode 8 (“Charm Offensive”), the Others turn up the emotional manipulation — and Carol feels every bit of it. As Zosia returns with a new strategy to win her over, Carol lets her guard down just enough to spark intimacy, only to realize how calculated everything might be.Brandon & Chanel break down the beauty, heartbreak, and ethical gray zones:Zosia’s slow-burn seduction: companionship, compliments, and… mango ice cream storiesThe recreated diner scene — touching tribute or disturbing fake memory?Carol’s evolving whiteboard: the return of “What I Know About Them”That kiss: meaningful connection or hive-sanctioned distraction?Carol’s conflicted monologue: “This is mental illness. It’s psychosis.”Manousos wakes up — in a hospital under Others’ care — and breaks out againThe Others' plan to spread the “gift” beyond Earth… while still starving hereZosia’s line that says it all: “We wish you would give up. But we also love Wycaro.”With standout performances from Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra, this episode explores the blurry line between comfort and control, love and coercion, autonomy and assimilation. And Brandon & Chanel are here to break it all down — from fake diners to forced hope to that final, haunting glance out the window.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...

Fallout Season 2 Episode 1 - The Return of the Ghoul
2025/12/18
Welcome back to the wasteland — it’s more savage, stylish, and satirical than ever. In Fallout Season 2, Episode 1, the show explodes back onto the screen with a gore-soaked, laugh-out-loud vengeance. A new Vegas. A noseless cowboy. A vault full of communist brainwashers. And yes — Justin Theroux plays a billionaire with a vaporizing neck-chip fetish.Brandon & Chanel dig into all the atomic mayhem:The Ghoul’s backstory: cowboy turned corporate spy turned undead hitmanLucy’s mission: stop her Vault-Tec dad Hank before he nukes more rebelsRobert House enters the chat — and immediately explodes someone’s headVault 31’s secret cryopod cult awakens, courtesy of Norm’s big “kick the brain jar” energyMaximus is MIA (for now), but Reg, Chet, and Norm are knee-deep in awkward Vault dramaComedy meets carnage: Inbreeding Support Groups, needle-armed CEOs, and hostage parentingThat final twist: House launched the nukes — and Hank is working for himThe new mission: Cooper’s gotta charm, spy, and maybe assassinate America’s richest ghoulWith razor-sharp writing, R-rated set pieces, and biting commentary on capitalism, cryo-fascism, and corporate brainwashing, this episode proves Fallout didn’t just survive — it mutated into one of the best genre shows on TV.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → / @wewaswatching

Pluribus Season 1 Episode 7 - Please Come Back
2025/12/13
Silence never felt so loud. In Pluribus Episode 7 (“The Gap”), the show dials down the dialogue and cranks up the emotion. With Carol wandering alone through New Mexico and Manousos crossing continents to find her, Pluribus delivers its most poetic, gut-punching hour yet — and Rhea Seehorn and Carlos-Manuel Vesga are jaw-droppingly good.
