Since we’ve still got a few days till the return of Lore Olympus (and you better believe we’re going into withdrawal aaaaaaa) this week Kathryn finished up season 2 of Umbrella Academy and boy howdy do we have some things to discuss.
This is less of a recap than a deep dive into everything we loved about the finale, with frequent pauses to wonder if they’re playing fast and loose with Five’s time-traveling powers, and whether or not the “new” Ben is going to be a jerk. (Elizabeth, who’s watched season three, isn’t saying a word, nuh uh.)
After that Elizabeth admits that season two of The Hunters is better than season one so she’ll stop hate-watching it and start actually watching it. And they both approve of using The Last Bookstore as a filming location.
Finally they wrap up with a quick look at the distressingly few Oscar-nominated films they’ve seen: Wakanda Forever (cried within the first six minutes), Everything, Everywhere All At Once (anybody calling it “Oscar Bait” has clearly missed the weaponized butt-plugs) and Blonde (Ana de Armas does a good job, but seriously, eff that movie.)

Apologies for the background hum in some sections, Elizabeth’s house-sitting this week and hadn’t realized how very loud their freezer is.
Correction: Lila in Umbrella Academy doesn’t really absorb or counter people’s powers, she mimics them, but yes, only one at a time.
Correction #2 – Unbreakable didn’t film at The House Of Secrets in Burbank (it was actually Ontario Street Comic Book shop in Pennsylvania) and Leland says most of the movies that shoot in the comic shop annex are student films, but the comic shop you see in BIg Bang Theory was based on House of Secrets.
Ted Lasso season 3 starts March 15. (Hurry up, Kathryn! – Elizabeth) (I’m going I’m going! – Kathryn)
