In this episode, we dive into the first season of Slow Horses, the sharp, darkly funny British spy thriller that puts a very different spin on the world of espionage. Based on Mick Herron’s bestselling novel, the series follows a group of MI5 agents who have been pushed to the sidelines and assigned to the department known as Slough House.

We’ll explore what makes Slow Horses stand out from the traditional spy thriller—from its flawed and fascinating characters to its blend of suspense, dry British humor, workplace drama, and unexpected twists. We’ll also take a closer look at the performances, the show's distinctive tone, and the complicated relationship between the agents at Slough House and the polished world of MI5.

Whether you're already a fan or you're considering watching the series for the first time, this episode offers a spoiler-free look at what makes Season 1 so compelling—and why Slow Horses quickly became one of television's most addictive spy dramas.

SUMMER BREAK IS OVER SO WE ARE BACK WITH WE HAVE TO GO BACK FOR SEASON 8!!!

CHECK OUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO OVER THE SUMMER AND WHAT IS COMING UP FOR THIS SEASON!!

Well, we did it, we remembered to end the season. HA! Listen, it's not easy doing podcasts with pottyheads, but we made it through.

This episode is about the classic (interpretive) piece of propogandic film Reefer Madness. Made in the 1930's as a warning to America's youth at the *supposed* dangers of marijuana.

It has it all...as Stefon would say-intrigue, abuse, murder, self-un-aliving, and just a slew of fake scenarios that the men of the mid-30's were trying to "Tell the Children" to be aware of. Coming out of the "Roaring 20's", America was having a shifting moment into absolute zzzzzzzzz snoozefest.

Listen to us talk about the film and analyze the message and perception.

Stay tuned for an end of season BONUS episode where a very very rough cut recording of us actually watching the movie, no mics, no headphones, no noise cancelling equipment just raw unfiltered moments.
