We Are Leftovers & Mad Men Magic

Expect TV nerdiness, near-missed seats, and Cort’s personal vendetta against chocolate croissants.

14.41: The Future is Now (and It’s Dystopian AF)
We’re peering into the present through the cracked lens of the future this week with Susan, Kelly, and Geek Guy Chris. From AI chatbots with too much personality to dystopias where “reality” is a broadcasted spectacle, it’s a soup of sci-fi predictions that hit way too close to home.

14.35: The Endless Upgrade Radius
This week, we’re taking a mind-bending dive into three under-the-radar sci-fi gems: The Endless, Radius, and Upgrade.

This week we take a dive deep into the Apple TV+ two-part documentary Number One on the Call Sheet.
14.33: The Serial Killer You’ve Never Heard Of — And the Family that Refused to Stay Silent

Decades later, as his release loomed, the Semander family refused to stay silent.
14.32: Let the Mystery Be — Severance Edition
We’re not actually letting the mystery be when it comes to Severance season 2. We discuss the facts, the fiction, the theories. We dish soaps, goats, and ducks. And we share all the Apple love.
