Fallout Season 2 Episode 3 - Okie Dokie

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.

Fallout Season 2 Episodes 2 & 3 - I need it cuz you know im a Fiend

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

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

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

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

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.

Pluribus Season 1 Episode 6 - HDP

Nothing says “we’re not monsters” like shrink-wrapped human meat in a freezer. In Episode 6 of Pluribus (“HDP”), Carol uncovers the dark secret behind the Others' food supply — and let’s just say, she may never look at milk the same way again.Brandon & Chanel break down the jaw-dropping reveals:The Agri-Jet warehouse scene: Carol finds dismembered bodies, vats, grinders… and it gets worseWhat is HDP? Human. Derived. Protein.

The hivemind finally draws a boundary — and Carol crosses every one of them.

But the more space they give her, the deeper her paranoia — and her discoveries — go.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:The Others cut ties with Carol — and send her voicemail ghostings and drone deliveriesZosia is still in recovery… until Carol drugs her again (you read that right)Carol’s loneliness spirals into grief, anger, and a manic need for controlThe wolves are back — and this time, they go after Helen’s grave 😳What’s up with the milk?

The Chair Company Season 1 Episodes 6&7 Recap

The Chair Company Episode 7 Recap | Ron Unravels the Truth, Barb Takes Charge, and Delaware Goes Off the Rails | Brandon & Chanel Breakdown

They made him think he could wish things into the world — and he did. In Episode 7 of The Chair Company, everything clicks into place — in the most absurd, hilarious, and horrifying way imaginable. From dog bites to deadly chairs to porn-shop standoffs, this is the episode where Ron Trosper might finally be right.

Brandon & Chanel unpack the spiraling brilliance of it all:

  • Ron gets suspended and adopts a dog… who immediately bites him

  • Barb delivers antibiotics and some marital realness (shoutout to Lake Bell’s best scene yet)

  • Every bizarre thread — Tamblay’s, the group chat, Oliver Probblo, bug species, Scrooge cosplay — comes back full circle

  • The Wendy’s ham subplot gets even more Midwesternly unhinged

  • Delaware’s corrupt mayor isn’t the target — the real Tecca boss is funding Everpump

  • The big confrontation at Alice’s party: Ron has the receipts… but he doesn’t “tell”

  • Romance Depot guy vs. insufficiently horny customer = mini ITYSL sketch gold

  • Ron chooses love over justice — and still ends the episode smiling in the mirror

This is the most satisfyingly chaotic episode yet. With Fincher-level plotting filtered through Lynch, The Onion, and your weirdest workplace dreams, The Chair Company delivers a modern-day style parody that’s as dense with gags as it is with dread.

As she searches for a way to stay human in a world run by a hivemind, her tactics grow more reckless, manipulative, and possibly lethal.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:The intro of Manousos Oviedo: starving, proud, and armed with a radioCarol’s grenade wish vs. hive logistics: satire or sci-fi logic fail?That fake Whole Foods restock — symbolic excess or narrative stretch?Larry and the hive’s honesty test: the Shakespeare of romantasy?!What Helen really thought of Carol’s books (oof)Carol injecting herself with Sodium Thiopental to uncover her subconscious truth — and what that recording revealsThe betrayal of Zosia: drugged without consent, dragged from the hospital, and pushed into cardiac arrestThe horror of Carol handcuffing herself to Zosia, crying “agency” while denying someone else theirsWhy Carol’s actions blur the line between freedom fighter and selfish villainWith Rhea Seehorn delivering a devastating performance and the script poking at the ethics of autonomy, grief, and identity in the face of collective control, Episode 4 asks the most harrowing question yet: Does Carol actually want to save the world — or just preserve herself?🎧 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...

This episode is where the hivemind stops being theoretical and starts handing out live grenades.

Who’s actually in charge?Is Helen being used for emotional blackmail from beyond the grave?Pluribus continues to be bold, messy, and full of potential — but Episode 3 may be its most narratively shaky yet.

Pluribus Episodes 1-2: Resistance is Futile

From the mind of Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) comes the most original sci-fi premiere in years. In Episodes 1 & 2 of Pluribus (“We Is Us” and “Pirate Lady”), a rogue radio signal from deep space triggers a global transformation — and only one person is left unconnected: speculative romance author Carol Sturka, played by a powerhouse Rhea Seehorn.Brandon & Chanel dive into everything you missed:The alien RNA signal that infects the world via… saliva and donutsRhea Seehorn’s brilliant performance as the reluctant resistanceThe arrival of Pirate Lady, a real-life version of Carol’s book characterHelen’s tragic death and what it means to “join” the hivemindSeizures triggered by Carol’s emotions (that may have killed 11 million people 😬)The mysterious 12 “immunes” — are they humanity’s last hope or just passengers?Mind-melding, wine country, Air Force One cameos, and a very weird backhoe momentGilligan’s mix of psychological dread, sci-fi absurdism, and razor-sharp comedy makes Pluribus feel like a collision of Arrival, Watchmen, and Better Call Saul.

Gen V ends with blood, betrayal, and a major tie-in to The Boys. In the Season 2 finale “Trojan,” the Guardians of Godolkin take on their deadliest enemy yet — Thomas Godolkin himself — as the school’s namesake unleashes a full-scale massacre to cull the supe population.

Brandon & Chanel break down everything you need to know:

  • Marie’s powers reach terrifying new heights — but at what cost?

  • Cate, Emma, and Annabeth’s emotional returns and reconciliations

  • Doug (formerly Cipher) reveals the real puppetmaster behind it all

  • Sister Sage’s master plan with Homelander ties directly into The Boys Season 5

  • Godolkin’s classroom bloodbath + dance number = unhinged villain energy

  • That A-Train and Annie cameo: The Resistance is real.

As the dust settles, our heroes are fugitives, Vought spins the narrative, and Polarity’s redemption arc pays off in the most emotional way. This isn’t just a finale — it’s a launchpad for something massive in the Vought-verse.

The Chair Company Season 1 Episode 1 - What is a Mall

Off-kilter, unhinged, and painfully hilarious — HBO’s The Chair Company is everything we hoped it would be. In Episode 1, “Life Goes By Too F**king Fast, It Really Does,” we meet Ron Trosper, a fragile project manager whose life starts to spiral after a chair collapses mid-presentation. But what starts as slapstick embarrassment quickly turns into a full-blown corporate thriller — or maybe just a mental breakdown in real-time.

Brandon & Chanel dive into:

  • Ron’s anxiety-riddled descent from mall project lead to potential whistleblower

  • The weirdly intense investigation into chair manufacturer Tecca

  • A brutal necklace-ripping HR incident

  • Accidental upskirting, hiding in offices, and a wheelbarrow subplot for the ages

  • The show’s surprisingly sharp satire of masculinity, stress culture, and internalized shame

Is there a conspiracy? Or is Ron just unwell? Either way, The Chair Company blends Tim Robinson’s sketch-comedy energy with serialized storytelling and Enemy of the State visual cues. It's off the rails in the best way — and Brandon & Chanel are here for every awkward, chaotic, HR-violating moment.
