The IRA, Vampires, and Hope in 'Say Nothing,' 'What We Do In The Shadows,' and 'Somebody, Somewhere'

This week's episode begins with some basics on Thanksgiving (0:03) before Blaine and Donovan welcome new listeners who may be from the Bluesky app (2:44). After that, they begin the non-spoiler section for judgements on the TV shows 'Say Nothing' on FX/Hulu which presents a grounded story on the Troubles in Ireland (3:23). Then they explain why 'What We Do In The Shadows' on FX/Hulu still works after six seasons (13:59) and the aspects of HBO's 'Somebody, Somewhere' that works so well (19:42).

Blaine and Donovan then get into the spoilers with 'Say Nothing' and how it tackles the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the first two episodes (22:01). They then shift to the specifics and spoilers of hilarity of 'What We Do In The Shadows,' where vampire life in Staten Island is more than immorality (38:23). Finally, for the most recent episodes from 'Somebody, Somewhere,' they talk about how it brings a unique style of realism (50:47).
