Fun, in-depth, episode-by-episode talk about great TV.
Current shows: Pluribus and Fallout
On hiatus: Alien: Earth and IT: Welcome to Derry
Great TV is art. It surprises, thrills, delights, and moves us. It can clarify what we already know to be true—or expand our world. Wax Episodic is for you if you don’t just watch great TV—you want to immerse yourself in it and connect with other fans.
Hosted by longtime TV podcaster Jason Cabassi (The ’Cast of Us, Welcome to the White Lotus) and friends, Wax Episodic covers some of the best current scripted TV series. With sharp insight, genuine reactions, and a mix of analysis and fun, we break it all down episode by episode—including a listener feedback segment where you guys join in the conversation.

If only Manousos had made it to New Mexico a few weeks earlier as he intended, then he and Carol might have been on the same page — but it was fun to see them argue about it and then ultimately get there, and we’re very much looking forward to season two to find out what happens next. Karen and I are thrilled to be joined by David — a huge Vince Gilligan fan, a Podcastica host, and Karen’s hubs — to talk it out!
Thanks everyone for joining us for this show! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Karen and I will be back for Severance at some point, possibly in February, and we may check out a Vince Gilligan-written episode or two of The X-Files in the meantime. And if you’re looking for something else to dig into, highly recommend checking out any of the other shows this podcast covers.
They are….
Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi.
IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed.
Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy.
