A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Season 1: Episode 4 "Seven"

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee gush over an incredible hour of television, going line-by-line and scene-by-scene. They break down backstories, motiviations, production and acting queues to contexualize the events of the episode against the background of larger A Song of Ice and Fire world and history. By the end, the guys were ready to be Dunk's #6 and #7. Really fun episode to review.

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 8 "The Strip"

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Warning- Spencer and Lee didn't exactly love this episode, or the back-half of season 2, for that matter. They do make an effort about 31 minutes in to get a little more positive, but they have a lot to say about what worked and (moreso) what didn't work in this finale and in season 2 as a whole.

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 7 "The Handoff"

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee review the penultimate episode of season 2 of Amazon Prime's "Fallout." Spencer's more positive this week, Lee can't get past one particular cut-scene, and they both agree the flashbacks are as effective as Hank MacClean leading covert human trials. Good times all around as we barrel ahead into next week's finale.

Let us know what you think! (Seriously, please do) facebook.com/mangumtalks or mangumtalkspodcasts@gmail.com

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Season 1: Episode 2 "Hard Salt Beef"

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee roll the clock back and do an old school version of the podcast. They go line by line through the episode and dive deep into the lore of Westeros. Show episode run time- 33 minutes. Podcast episode run time- 1 hour and 41 minutes. Completely. Ridiculous. But a whole lot of fun.

Let us know what you think! facebook.com/mangumtalks or mangumtalkspodcasts@gmail.com

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 6 "The Other Player"

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Fair warning- Spencer and Lee have such strong feelings about this episode, the various plots, where things are going, what the show is *trying* to say, and how this all relates to Lee's strong dislike of "The Pit" that they never get to the script. Great discussion via a short-form episode.

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 5 "The Wrangler"

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 08:00:00 -0400

This week, Spencer announces a big change in his assessment of Fallout Season 2. Lee is still all-in and spends at least two minutes too long pitching new names for Hank. A great episode of TV, a great series, a great time discussing it.

Let us know what you think! facebook.com/mangumtalks or mangumtalkspodcasts@gmail.com

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 4 "Demon in the Snow"

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee dive into the about-mid-way point of Fallout season 2. They both love Steph vs Betty, but pass on future Reg-led support groups. Lee suggests a longer story arc for Lucy, Spencer complains about silliness and they both agree that Cooper-Ghoul is the best thing in the show. Lee ends with Johnny Cash facts. Have a great week!

facebook.com/mangumtalks or mangumtalkspodcasts@gmail.com

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 3 "Profligate"

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee begin what looks to be a season long battle about the quality of season 2 of Amazon Prime's "Fallout." Weirdly enough, the first battle line seems to be drawn over Macaulay Culkin. Oh, and Lee plays right into a Kumail Nanjiani standup joke... Good times all around.

Pluribus, Season 1: Episodes 7-9

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee wrap up their season 1 coverage of the Apple+ Series "Pluribus." While acknowledging there is *a lot* to like, Lee spends most of the podcast complaining. Spencer is spry and generally in good spirits. We're unsure if we'll cover season two (when it is released in 2045*)

Fallout, Season 2: Episode 2 "The Golden Rule"

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee dive into episode 2 of season 2 of Amazon Prime's "Fallout." Lee has a rant (or two) about the Brotherhood.

Black Rabbit: Episode 4 "No More F**ck-Ups"

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Spencer and Lee get plot heavy this episode, focusing on the sins of Jake and Vince and talking through their hopes for redepemption and where they see the plot going through the rest of the show.

Black Rabbit: Episode 3 "Skin Contact"

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 07:54:00 -0400

It's a shorter episode of Black Rabbit this week, but that doesn't stop the guys from going long discussing everything from movie theaters, the show's relationship to horror movies, state liability laws, and Lee's (possibly) insane and uncomforable theory about Gen.
