Fatimah Nyeema Warner aka  Noname just released her third album "Sundial" last Friday. The ChatzKidz both have meaningful history with her music, so for Allen's pickle this week, they opted to discuss all three of her albums: 2016's soul-infused "Telefone", 2018's eclectic "Room 25" and the surprisingly vulnerable 2023 release "Sundial". Topics discussed include the barrier between musician and fans, the shift in politics and style reflected in her music, and the questionable response to the backlash over Jay Electronica's verse on "Balloons".Entertainment Community FundMagellan's Substack newsletterCheck out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

The video version: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFkqLhswX8For nearly eight years, Chatz has been about two best friends watching TV together and discussing it like a book club. But what happens when we toss eight of the iconic Hot Ones hot sauces into the mix, toss that with a writer's and actor's strike, AND record the whole thing in Allen's bedroom? Well, we have our first Chatz Pickle, or suggested episode topic! This week, listeners suggested a Hot Ones interview, so Magellan and Allen took turns asking each other about comedy, inspiration, and more in this ridiculous send-up of the iconic First We Feast series.Entertainment Community FundMagellan's Substack newsletterCheck out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterBlueskyTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

In preparation for the upcoming Chatz pivot away from television and film, we had a brief but productive chat while Allen hopped back into Elden Ring after nearly a year away! Tune in for an announcement of what we're covering in the interim and other fun topics like concert etiquette, favorite boss fights, and much more!Stream Archive (the video of this episode!)SAG-AFTRA FAQs for PodcastersEntertainment Community FundMagellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterBlusekyTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

Here at Chatz, we stand in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikers. This week, we open with a discussion of how we are interpreting the new FAQ guidelines they posted for podcasters recently, and what that means for the near future of Chatz. We always invite listener feedback since you folks are a huge part of the show, so sound off if you have thoughts on this decision one way or another. And next week is going to be another Couch Madness break since Should You Watch is on hiatus, so we'll be streaming on twitch.tv/chatzpod and posting the video archive to YouTube and the audio to here in the main feed!

It's 2010s vs the late 80s! A sequel to a beloved show vs a singularly beloved show! This week on Couch Madness, we debate the merits of creating a sequel to a previous Chatz season over spending at least a year of our lives in the world of Sam, Al, Ziggy, and Gooshie of course. But there can only be one winner that moves on to Round 2...Video referenced: Every Zelda is the Darkest ZeldaThe bracket showing everything we're covering for Couch Madness (this will spoil the week's winner, so don't click until you're done or you want it spoiled!: https://challonge.com/chatzpod16 Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

We went into this week's Couch Madness match-up clear-eyed and ready to make the right choice. But after discussing the pilots of Misfits and Heroes, things got...a bit heated in the second half. Enjoy our discussion of these two superhero shows with very different sensibilities, how we view the arc of a Chatz season, and who will go up against Stargate SG-1 in round 2.The bracket showing everything we're covering for Couch Madness (this will spoil the week's winner, so don't click until you're done or you want it spoiled!: https://challonge.com/chatzpod16 Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at

With DS9 now on the air and many of the writers handling that series, TNG season 6 finds itself at a fascinating crossroads. Sequels to old episodes, bizarre narrative conceits, and the departure of some of our favorite regulars leave the ChatzKidz feeling...well, actually they still got that dog in them this season! Data's more human than ever, Troi gets a new outfit, AND we get two really good Q episodes?! Heck yeah, this show still rocks.Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

The first round of Couch Madness BEGINS with a wild pair of US imperial propaganda shows that both share incredible vibes, some great performances, and lots of potential. Did the ChatzKidz prefer Alias's sleek and sexy 2000s style, or SG-1's reliable, comfortable framing of weird space adventures.

A new season is here, folks! As our TV watch club podcast has evolved, we've always tried to incorporate more listener feedback. This year, we thought a fun way to do that while still maintaining our silly, bracket-obsessed brand was to take the TOP 16 shows recommended by listeners and face them HEAD TO HEAD in pitched combat. This week, we're breaking down the science of how we got our top 16, who will be facing up against who, and what to expect for the next few weeks of the podcast. We hope everyone enjoys this semi-interactive episode, and we extra hope you're looking forward to whatever wins Season 16!Here is a link to a slide deck that visualizes much of the data discussed in this episode: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12zZ9DYog-ynCxDGvoew_jlpIJswOk_-Hk6NXqVPx9dQ/edit?usp=sharingAnd here is a link to the final bracket on Challonge, where you can also submit predictions of your own: https://challonge.com/chatzpod16 Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out c

Bank robbery, Adam West, tentacles, oh my! At the end of the road, Powerless throws a lot of ideas at the wall. And the Chatz crew recruited Six from Scanline Media to help them break down this weird not-finale of a canceled series. Six down, seven to go. But for next week and quite a while, we're moving on to somewhere...very different!

What?! A bonus Chatz episode this week? That's right, gang. Allen had the chance to sit down with friend of the podcast Harri to talk about Gene Luen Yang's American Born Chinese recently, and we just couldn't fit all the takes into one podcast. So come for discussion of the original 2006 graphic novel,  as well as our brief impressions of the first two episodes of the new Disney+ adaptation. This was a really fun and engaging discussion, and we hope to do more things like this in the future, so let us know what you think!Harri can occasionally be heard on Scanline Media podcasts: http://patreon.com/scanlinemedia and http://scanlinemedia.comMagellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

This week on Chatzerless, Green Arrow has a darts home game, Natalie Morales wears a cool wig, and Emily gets REAL with her co-workers. We're at the home stretch, folks! Next week is our big Chatzerless finale and end of this phase of Thirteen Under 13 before we delve into something shiny and new.VOTE FOR WHAT WE WATCH AND DISCUSS ON THE NEXT SEASON OF CHATZ: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLgAf96uxBHPHgo4PCWiWQB3e-BcZWpHYQVP-E0cl29FqY4g/viewform?usp=sf_linkMagellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

This week, Emily does in fact date a henchman, but we also explore the world of the unaired pilot and how she could have had a romance with Teddy of all people.

A DC Universe ground level, day-in-the-life sitcom sounds like a recipe for success. Why then did 2017's Powerless get canceled in 12 episodes? We're joined by Ryan and Bartek from Spit & Polish Presents to discuss the pilot before we dive deep into the first quarter of this strange, interesting series.Check out Ryan and Bartek's movie podcast, Spit & Polish Presents: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/spit-polish-presents/id1059224536Magellan's Substack newsletter: https://notthatmagellan.substack.com/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchChatzumsEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/
