You've Never Seen That!?

Wow! I Can't believe it but this officially the 52 episode of the You've Never Seen That podcast, the show where two dudes had no idea the internet would love them watching random television and being snarky jackasses as much as it had. For our anniversary we watched The CW's Arrow, and much as we reiterate in the episode, after watching the CW's Vampire Diaries (last week's episode of our podcast) they managed to TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES. We talk about why DC has historically struggled so much next to marvel, where exactly the CW fits in at Network Television High, and how on Earth did the casting director of this show manage to cast SO MANY incredibly beautiful people? Seriously, everyone is gorgeous, it's wild. So crack open a Pomplemuesse La Croix or your favorite IPA and celebrate with us as we revel in a year's worth of laughs and shit we definitely should not have said! Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

Well ladies and gents, summer is officially here and that means all that garbage out there is getting awwwwfuly hot, and it's no surprise it's showing up all over the internet on our show. This week we watched the CW show Vampire Diaries and to quote my dog, Obi... woof. Also, rough. For a show that makes Twilight look like an actually well thought out story, and not just a trope of a trope of a trope of a fan fiction of a fan fiction, all we can say is it IS indeed actually a show, but most certainly not a very good one. Granted it's not written for two dudes in their twenties on the internet, but we do manage to reminisce about old times when teen after school slice of life movies didn't involve aggressive sex slavery through supernatural magic, underage drinking of Dom Perignon (seriously, who drinks 200 dollar bottles of champagne at 16? Get a plastic bottle of Mad Dogg 20/20 like the rest of us and GROW UP), and gratuitous violence. We come up with some more awful, awful phrases for having coital relatio

As if the universe conspired with itself and the all random dice gods of our selection choosing algorithm, we just so happen to get Twin Peaks almost twenty seven years after it first aired, but only one week after the show re-aired for their much awaited third season. Crazy, right? Well hang onto that feeling because everything about Twin Peaks is absolutely koo koo bananas. There's a lot of Theremin music, fake thunder, some sweet high kicks and a whole bunch of characters who you would think should make sense, but don't (but in the best possible way). There may never be a more accurate show for "It seems really stupid to just pick up randomly in the middle of a season with just whatever episode and try to figure out exactly what's going on." We wonder who even watched this show originally, what a David Lynch reimagining of Blues Clues would be like, and a couple of phrases that Bellamy really does not like. Also... Cooper and Truman... are they gonna bang?  Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and m

Alright ladies and gentlemen get ready for a crazy, wild ride, strap in and hop in our time machine as we head back to the year 2000 to relive Dawson's Creek. You get everything, innocent slices of life, Will Smith's Miami, and all of the out takes from the pre roll UNEDITED because I realized I line up PERFECTLY with the chorus when it kicks in in some miracle of unknowing timing. Also, our executive producer Andy barges in the door and says "Dawson's Creek" with me. Oh, and as for the actual show, it was super rad, really delightful, uplifting and just all around a feel good time. Except... ya know... a couple rapey undertones, an unintentional but also impeccably placed by the universe Cosby joke, and the fact that there's not a single person of color anywhere in this show. Literally anywhere. Also, there's very little creek too, just a heads up. Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

Holy crap guys, have you ever wondered where it all began? The jokes about just absolutely horrible anime translations, the necessary "oho" reaction shots, the whimpers, and the weird scenes with flashing lights that may or may not have caused seizures?! Well look no further because we're pretty sure Sailor Moon helped start it all. This show was way rad-er than we thought it was going to be. We take a quiz to find out which Sailor Scout we are, feel free to debate along with us or take the BuzzFeed quiz for yourself, talk about how this may or may not be like kind of sexual, but might not be? And how Usagi (Sailor Moon) has a child who looks no younger than 5, but more likely 8-10, but is herself supposed to be between 14-18. There's a whole lot of time fucking, people transform into other things, I think one dude is like a unicorn or pegasus or something, and there's some talking cats, the bondage ready Amazon Sisters continue to be mischievous tricksters in The Dark Moon Circus, which we're pretty sure was

What a longly anticipated show that we totally used our eye balls to watch. If you're wondering "I wonder what Empire for White People is like?" Look no further because here it is! Nashville. There's a whole lot of unnecessary drama and money, some sage dudes who don't seem like the type to have universal wisdom, and Hayden Pentragram continues to be gorgeous and a surprisingly good singer. Connie Britton is also incredible, both wonderful actresses set in a world where apparently some other people just for get to act and sing in a show that is literally all about acting and singing.  Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

What a bunch of lucky ducks we must have been to get such a huge cliffhanger that we felt obligated to do a special short episode on the season 5 finale of Homeland JUST FOR YOU! That's right! After this Monday's episode of YNST we just couldn't help but feel the need to wrap up Homeland with our own wrap up, so here we go! We learn A LOT about the Homeland series in this and we change our opinions and a few wild assumptions based on the first six minutes of the season finale. There's a couple characters that get added and one particularly big fan that gets turned on at the end, all in all, a pretty solid wrap up. As always we still try to get sponsored by Sonos and are jack asses on the internet. Tune in on Monday as we review the, what I assume is the Country version of Glee: Nashville 

For a show I didn't even know about until we watched it (Hint: this ISN'T Southland with Ben Mckenzie) this turned out to be one of the better sleeper episodes we've ever seen. Plenty of action, shots fired, and the looming threat of global destabilization, perhaps from terrorism, perhaps from big government, who can really say, all we can say for sure is that this show was a banger, and that this episode will sound fantastic on the crisp, clear, high definition audio of Sonos Bluetooth Speakers (yeah, we're still trying for that). Plenty of references, a side bar that everyone gets to come along with for once, and all ending in a fart that almost ended the entire show, this week was truly a treat.  Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

Well, Fox manages to take the award for the darkest network on all of television and if you thought it was all whiny, angsty melodrama like Gotham and 24 you may be right, but you may also be deeply disturbed with how hard they follow through with The Following. Listen along as we go on a dark journey of one network's attempt to be simultaneously "real" and also oh so wide of the mark all at the same time. Taking excessive liberties with the portrayal and vilification of the mental imbalanced, but also somehow making a decently compelling story, this episode makes one thing certain: our review of it would sound fantastic on a crisp, clear, Sonos bluetooth speaker. (But for real Vanessa Hudgens, I would gladly bankrupt myself to take you to dinner in an unforgettable evening. Oh, Ps. I watched Powerless, it's great, Dany Pudi, Ron Funches, Alan Tudyk, seriously, solid show.) Also, I lose a fantasy draft between Bellamy and I for best team of gravel voiced actors.

iThought this show was not very good. (See what I did there, huh, huh?) This show, however, provided us with some very interesting insight because in a way we've never seen before we realize, this show is 100% not for us, and not even good, but also that it makes HUGE comments on the internet and social media revolution and may even include overtones of Freud's sense of self-concept. Well, even if this show does make some startling parallels to the abuse of a working class regardless of if they're fourth graders or the current global working poor the implications are the same, and like.... this is a Nickelodeon show? Okay, so to be fair, I guess all we can say at this point about iCarly is that it is a show. We know that much, it is a show, a weird one, by Mack Finkelstein. Also, hey, just looked it up, boom, they were intentionally a Freudian trio. Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

FX, this show's on FX right? Well FX keeps pumping out bangers and this is no exception. A show about a motorcycle club that turn antiheros into hero as they fight for the rights of the oppressed, transgendered, and otherwise disenfranchised. Wait... this is on FX right? Listen along as we learn all about Jax, have a renewed love for Shades from Luke Cage, drink some fizzy, fizzy Lacroix and have a general blast of a time. For a show that got as much hype as it did, we fully agree with it, and maybe for once, even agree with each other on a score to give Charlie Hunam and gang in Sons of Anarchy.

With a flurry of recent superhero adaptations taking the world and internet by storm, it seems only fitting that we review one, and since the CW, DC universe ones are the only ones left (alright, so Bell hasn't seen ALL of Iron Fist, but he's working on it), it makes sense that we would review The Flash. For a hero that we both don't know a whole lot about (I mean, he runs fast, but, that's about it) this turned out to be a delightfully unexpected episode. A couple of Glee cross overs, more music that would land us in trouble with ASCAP, and a wealth of knowledge of Pokemon evolutions color this analysis of a show that actually ended up surprising us both.  Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

Well surprise, surprise you guys, you guys. The magical has surely happened and wouldn't you know, it came in the form of an actually good show: 24. And perhaps the most magical part; this is a Fox show. I know, right? Well hey, listen along as we discuss The Boss Baby, more whisper acting, and what must have been the longest week of Jack Bauer's life EVER. Also, what happens between the hours of 7-9am on this show? Does Jack just  like, get up, get breakfast, shower, and sit in traffic? A cool premise to attempt to depict an exciting action packed day in quasi-real time, but the reality is, I hope none of us ever have THIS wild of a 24 hour stint. And if you keep it up for 8 days, you're definitely going to end up like this show, which is quite simply; a heart attack. A very thrilling and engaging heart attack, but a heart attack none the less. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of good (awful) Fox writing (dialogue) for you to enjoy (or not).

What a surprising turn, for show that seemed, for all intents and purposes, passable good, this show was awesome. Kerry Russel, or as I commonly know her, the mom from August Rush, is incredible, but Mathew Rhys Evans takes the cake. The Russian Espionage Cake that hides in plain sight in suburban America in the nineteen seventies at the height of the cold war. A harrowing story about some of the most probably unheroic characters takes an interesting look into the world of national espionage before the modern era of technology forever changed the landscape. Complete with "pay-phones", "land lines", and "vacuum tube radios", honestly, I don't even know what I'm saying this show winds intrigue, deception, betrayal, and subterfuge beautifully. Interestingly enough we find out it was written by an ex-CIA operative turned author and suddenly the inclusion of certain reasonable, if outlandish tropes, and the omission of others makes way more sense, but adds a sense of legitimacy to the show that only furthers its e

We finally did it you guys! After almost a year's worth of waiting and suffering through some pretty awful (Mike and Molly, Two Broke Girls, Sleepy Hollow) and pretty uneventful (The Good Wife, Suits, Six Feet Under) we finally made it to the pinnacle of this show (maybe): Battlestar Galactica. One of the original (OG) shows to go into the hat, it was everything we ever wanted it to be. Early 2000's special effects, an huge overarching plot that takes place in space, and enough questions about humanity and the way worlds (you know, cause space) and societies work to keep you on the edge of your intellectual seat for hours. Don't worry, plenty of guns, explosions, and robots for the regular edge of the seat as well. Asking questions like: Will AI destroy us all? Do the ends eve justify the means even if they're altruistic and pure? Should you ever allow indentured prison labor for freedom? And Is Space Cancer worse than real cancer? Join us as we join the crew of the Battlestar Galactica, the flagship of human

We got a secret can you keep it? Well two can keep a secret, as long as one of them is dead. That's right. Threatening the audiences life right out of the gate because that's just how we do things over here at You've Never Seen That?! Okay, so maybe we were just quoting the opening theme to ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars a show which if we had a "the hottest of all garbages" championship very well may take the cake. Ooh, great idea for a head to head tournament later on in the year. Remind me of that later, okay? Thanks. I want to say Pretty Little Liars is a good show because A LOT of people like this show, including one friend of ours who seems VERY outside the target demographic, but... I'll simply say this: Pretty Little Liars is A show. If you want to hear us rant about how this was one hundred percent not made for us, questionable shouldn't have been made for anyone, and get a sneak preview at our upcoming Pretty Little Liars broadway adaptation, featuring music from Lin Manuel Miranda (we hope) then

Well you guys we have a problem. Elementary is not good. Having said that, however, Bellamy and I may have stumbled upon the greatest idea of our lives that takes this show and our particular brand of jackassery from an audio only internet-based format into something much greater. It is with pride we humble submit to the world of the internet: Youth Pastor. What is that you ask? Listen to the episode. Seriously, you've already navigated to our podcast landing space, clicked on this pile of hot garbage of a television series, AND read the description. If you got this far, just turn on the episode, finding out what Youth Pastor is alone is worth the listen. On top of that we discuss how it's almost impossible for us not to call this the poor man's Sherlock and that at the end of the day, it kind of seems like all "deductive reasoning" is just a pseudo-intelectual way to legitimize being an asshole. Which we clearly are. Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Oka

Hey guys, it's time! We're gonna make America Ferrera great again. ...wait, she's already great, and way better in this than The Good Wife. Welcome to the largest train wreck of an episode we ever recorded that might make for the best 90 minute collective mental break down of all time. We talk about Telenovelas, various types of fish in various non-land scenarios, we go on a mystic adventure to comic con, reminisce about the time we went on a fishing trip with Marlin Wayans, and there's even an entire segment where we loosely associate the names of random actors. We write a couple of amazing television shows of our own, and discuss why no one should ever be wearing those Sketchers that people always say make your butt look great. Also, plot twist: we watched Ugly Betty and talk about it.  Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

You guys (and girls) Sorkie did it. He really did it. Everyone knows how he is one of the best screenwriters in Hollywood, maybe of all time, but he did something we NEVER thought possible. He made a television show applicable to our daily lives, DOWN TO THE DAY, FIFTEEN YEARS before we ever even watched his smash hit drama "The West Wing". This episode is a doosie as we reminisce about old times at South Boston High (Go Tigers), the eerie parallels with today, and of course, some good old fashion Hedonism-bot imitations. Don't mind us as we workshop our Donald Trump impersonations, come up with arguably one of the best T shirts ever, and try our very best to sing One Week by Bare Naked Ladies. We fail. But to be fair, we absolutely crush it on rock band. No joke. We'll beat your high score. Promise. Laugh along as we praise the Sorkenator and soothe your troubled heads with our sexy, sexy voices.  Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccurate assumptions. Okay byeeeeee.

HBO does it again with another delightful banger. Well. Maybe not delightful, and also maybe not banger. But a decent show. An interesting show. A good show? You'll just have to listen to find out. We wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day, discuss the art making slice of life representation bordering on boring, praise the acting of all of the Peter Kraus and Michael C. Hall. We also realized that the idea of being a Beverley Hills shrink in the late nineties, early two thousands, was a pretty trite, boring, and unnecessary thing. We predict the germination of all television as Six Feet Under spins off into Dexter, Parenthood, Kill Bill, and Lost. We had to get the red yarn back out for this one. We pander to new sponsors that we will probably never get, and we reveal some of the greatest Valenguys Day plans ever. Still standing, if anyone wants to meet us at the theater for a showing of xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage, we'll be hanging. Tune in each Monday as we choose a new show and make more wildly inaccur
