Jax starts out this episode by stumping Jason with “Efterforskningen,” also known as “The Investigation.” They discuss their enjoyment of Isle of Dogs, Clerks, and Lupin, and whether Psych and Shanghai Noon still hold up. Jason needs Jax to catch up on the excellent new show, Wandavision, and Jax has high hopes for Resident Alien.
Bones Zone: Season 1, Episode 20
Season 1, Episode 20: The Graft in the Girl. The ladies follow the story of an unusual serial killer and then things get even darker when Zen discusses what she would do if she was invincible (hopefully Scott Foley doesn’t get too concerned).
Episode 60: Aliens and diplomacy
In this episode, Jax and Jason both reminisce about Memories of Murder and then commiserate about the shiny turd known as Tenet. Jason revisits his old friend, Babylon 5, counts down the final minutes of the excellent Attack on Titan, and is horrified by The Vanished. Jax only gets the most delicious parts of Julie & Julia, continues her Tarantino adventures with Kill Bill Vols 1 and 2, and is then heartened by Soul. Other highlights (and lowlights): WandaVision, Passenger 57, Outside the Wire, Mulan, The Little Things, and Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula.
Bones Zone: Season 1, Episode 19
Season 1, Episode 19: The Man in the Morgue. The ladies start of the new year with quite the Bones ep—murder, racism, and Gus Fring from Breaking Bad! Zen discusses white guy #67945 that she’s into, and Jax shocks (disgusts?) Zen with her love for an older movie character. They close out the episode with 2 hypotheticals, one of which includes the princess known as Rihanna.
Episode 59: You know my name
Happy 2021, listeners! To ring in the new year, Jason and Jax discuss their shared love of the season finale of The Mandalorian Season 2 and their shared skepticism of Wonder Woman 1984. Jax spent the holiday break watching all of Daniel Craig’s James Bond oeuvre, and Jason started bingeing The Expanse and the Snowpiercer TV series. Jax watched Gerry B’s new movie, Greenland, BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS SUPPORTS HER MAN. And Bill and Ted Face the Music along with Jax, as she learns of Jason’s love for Chris Cornell’s “You Know My Name.”
Episode 58: The Penguin Rocket Pack Magnum Opus
In the last episode of this incredibly terrible, stupid year, Jax and Jason discuss the head-scratcher known as The Dead Don’t Die, the frustrating The Outsider, the unfairly maligned League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the delightfully funny Palm Springs. Jax enjoyed Pedro Pascal in Prospect, got too many (?) laughs out of Home Alone, and just plain enjoyed Uncle Frank. Jason did the same for Attack on Titan, the Fresh Prince Reunion Special, and the Trial of the Chicago Seven. Jax has many man-related feelings from watching Predator and Predator 2.
Bones Zone: Season 1, Episode 18
Season 1, Episode 18: The Man With the Bone. First, Jax and Zen giggle at that title, because they are immature goofballs. Then, they discuss the most treasure-filled ep to date! Zen reveals her chess champion crushes, and they describe what their versions of heaven would be.
Bones Zone: Season 1, Episode 17
Season 1, Episode 17: The Skull in the Desert. Possibly the least infuriating episode so far!? The Scooby gang ends up in New Mexico to investigate the disappearance of Angela’s 3-weeks-a-year boyfriend. Jax and Zen discuss their fave Liverpool FC and chess-playing men, and then they talk about what their own unique versions of heaven would be.
