Have you ever watched a show, thought it was fantastic and been perplexed when it didn't catch on? That would be a good way to describe the Hulu seven episode miniseries "A Murder at the End of the World." Possibly created to capitalize on the whodunnit nature of podcast murder and serial killer entertainment, the series follows a diverse cast as they try and solve the mystery who killed a guest at a remote hotel in Iceland. Part Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, part Murder on the Orient Express, this was one we were really surprised hasn't been more popular. There are spoilers for the show but not until after an audible disclaimer. #gimmie10 #hulu #televisionshow #amurderattheendoftheworld #criminallyunderwatched #girlwiththedragontattoo #murderontheorientexpress #whodunnit…

Are there any implications if your spouse is watching the show and what does Netflix's addition of more adult content say about its users? Give this episode a listen!…

This week we split the episode between a documentary about 80's cowpunk icon Mojo Nixon and the AMC show Lodge 49.
