This podcast covers the hit(?) FX show "The Strain". A panel of Philly comedians recap, theorize, and crack wise along the way. Includes Mike Marbach, David Donnella, Rob Alesiani and other guests.
And I feel fine. This episode of Bloody Sunday covers The Strain Season four episodes 8, 9, and 10. Rob, who has not seen a single episode of this season before seeing 8-10, joins Mike and David to close the books on this frustrating show with a very fun accompanying Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers The Strain Season four episodes 5 (Belly of the Beast), 6 (Tainted Love), and 7 (Ouroboros). Not much to say beyond that. We are almost finished with this thing.
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers season 4 episodes 3 and 4 of The Strain. Not much movement in two episodes. Basically still looking for a bomb, trying to poison blood, and harvest babies for some reason. Another set of episodes with very little to no movement or Abe. Even Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers season four episode 1 and 2 of the Strain titled “The Worm Turns” and “The Blood Tax” respectively. We check in a few months (years?) after season 3 when an atomic bomb was set off in New York by a punk kid. The punk Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 10 of The Strain titled “The Fall”. This is it. The third season finale. Who would have thought we’d make it this far, let alone have another season to come… but here we are. This was a pretty decent episode of Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 9 of The Straing titled “Do or Die”. In what is probably the best episode in season for this show (again, not saying much) we see some real plot progression and the loss of a couple big characters. We have one Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 8 titled “White Light”. We just found out this is a “shortened” season, which could explain why there was actually some plot developments this year. This episode, though, had little in the way of movement. Though it did have a really Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 7 of The Strain. The show is back to form. Unfortunately that’s bad form. We had a decent three episode run of moderately good (for this show) episodes. That all came crashing down last night along with any real plot progression. Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 6 of The Strain titled “Battle of Central Park”. As we saw in this episode… there was no battle of central park. If anything the battle took place off screen and was more just people running away. Hopefully we see an actual Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season3 Episode 5 of The Strain titled “Madness”. The show continues it’s slight uptick in storytelling and general watchability. It’s become a bit less predictable and disappointing and we are, dare I say, somewhat enjoying it again. Still more fun to talk about than Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 4 of The Strain. The show is back to its true form of little to no plot progression. We learned nothing this week that we didn’t know last week. In an episode titled “Gone But Not Forgotten”, I can’t think of Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 3 of The Strain titled “First Born”. This episode, unlike many that we talk about, was actually pretty decent. Whether that had a hand in this being one of the more fun podcasts we’ve done (at least for us) you can Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 2 of The Straight titled “Bad White”. Another episode without much movememnt. Palmer is tring to refine the white and seeks out Abe to strike a deal. Dutch surfaces with a bunch of punks. Eph looks to get the Lumen and Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 3 Episode 1 of The Strain titled “New York Strong”. Much to our suprise, The Strain was renewed for a third season. If you listen to the podcast you know we don’t love the show, but after making it to the end of season Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 episode 13 of The Strain titled “Night Train”. We’ve come to it at last. The season finale. Everything has been building up to this and there’s no way it can be disappointing right? Wrong. This was mid-season level climax at best. This Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Episode 12 of the The Strain entitled Dead End. We are getting down to it. The episodes have been getting better, but we still can’t get away from feeling like this is 10 episodes of show spread over 13 episodes. It’s gotten more fun Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 Episode 11 of FX Network’s The Strain titled “Dead End”. This episode is one of the better of the season, but again the same issues remain. We got some Gus and Angel, but were missing Quinlan and, maybe even Palmer a little Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 Episode 10 of The Strain titled “The Assassin”. In spite of being full of a lot of the things that make me dislike this show, this was an overall good episode. They continue to be scared to make any really big moves, Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 episode 9 of The Strain titled The Battle For Red Hook. I thought this episode was another step in the right direction. That’s not to say there’s been a series of sequential steps, just that this is another. I enjoyed the episode Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers season 2 episode 8 of “The Strain” entitled “The Intruders”. This week’s show was a two man job with me (Mike) and David Donnella sitting down to summarize, analyze and crack wise. Overall a pretty boring episode. After two weeks of some progress we Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 Episode 7 of the Strain entitled “The Born”. First thing to say- last week was titled “Identity”. This week is “The Born”. Just thought that was a weird choice, but that point is so far down the list of weird choices for Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 Episode 6 of The Strain titled “Identity”. We’re back with a full house of panel members including myself, David, Jolie, Rob back from Chicago and guest spotting this week was Katie. The show is now one full step in the right direction, but Read more…
The carousel of panel members continues as I (Mike) head out of town and leave the podcast in the hands of the other Strainiacs™. This week David and Joe lead the charge into discussing this week’s episode titled “Quick & Painless”. I agreed with both that this week the show Read more…
We’re at it again. This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 episode 4 of The Strain titled “The Silver Angel”. Since our latest review called us “podcast bullies” due to our somewhat consistent picking apart of this show I’m putting out the call. If you like our show (or Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 Episode 3 of The Strain titled “Fort Defiance”. The show continues to be fun to talk about, but not so fun to watch. Enjoy and, what the hell, rate & review us on iTunes.
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 2 Episode 2 of The Strain titled, “By Any Means”. If there was an episode that proved that you should not tune into this podcast for answers… this is it. If you want lots of unsubstantiated guessing and laughing then welcome to Bloody Sunday. Read more…
Bloody Sunday is back covering Season 2 of the FX show “The Strain”. In the season two premiere we more or less pick up where we left off: not really sure what’s going on, but enjoying the ride. Something funky going on with the audio this week, so it’s a Read more…
This episode of “Bloody Sunday” covers season one episode thirteen of the Strain on FX entitled “The Master”. This was the finale of a show that we had such high hopes for. I still managed to have some hope going into this finale, but that was thrown out the window Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 episode 12 of the FX show the Strain entitled “Last Rites”. More or less. Actually much less this episode. Don’t get me wrong… we do talk about the show and I’m pretty sure we cover all the major “plot” lines, but sometimes Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers season one episode 11 of The Strain on FX titled “The Third Rail”. So if you haven’t seen the episode yet don’t listen. Actually, nothing really happened this episode. You can probably listen and get the same amount of enjoyment (?) out of it. As we Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday discusses season one episode ten of The Strain on FX titled “Loved Ones”. This episode, though enjoyable, didn’t do much to further the story overall. We had the big shift at the end after finding the whereabouts of Kelly, but that was more or less it. Still, Read more…
The kids are at it again! For the second time this season, Mike leaves the SRM gang to its own devices. And, just as you’d expect, there were glitches, tangents, arguments, failed jokes, and interruptions. So…no different than any other episode. Still, we’d love your feedback, so please, rate and Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 episode 8 of The Strain on FX entitled “Creatures of the Night”. In spite of Dr. Nora Martinez’s best efforts to bring it down, this was a really entertaining episode. Characters are crossing paths, lots of vampires, a little exposition and a Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 episode 7 of The Strain on FX entitled “For Services Rendered”. Overall good episode with some progression, but we’re nowhere near the level of chaos we expected by this point. We kind of furthered some stories a bit, but overall not much Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers Season 1 Episode 7 of The Strain. Mixed opinions on the episode, but it’s generally agreed this was a filler episode. A stretch to get us further into the chaos to come. We didn’t talk about it in the episode, but the actual title Read more…
The inmates have taken over the asylum! In this week’s very special episode, the SRM gang finds themselves without their steadfast leader and…well…they do their best. As always, apologies to all Latin American countries except Mexico, all things Holocaust, whoever wrote “Little Drummer Boy”, Alanis Morrisette, Dave Coulier, twitter user Read more…
This episode of Bloody Sunday covers episode 4 of FX’s “The Strain” entitled “It’s not for everyone.” Taken from Abe’s line about slaughtering vampires. This show we were joined by performer, writer and lover of pizza- Joe Moore. If you’re interested in comedy, making people laugh, looking to get more confidence Read more…
This 3rd episode of Bloody Sunday discusses the 3rd episode of The Strain entitled “Gone Smooth”. Regardless of occasionally odd dialogue and kids acting like grown ups, the show continues to be very entertaining. Please take a moment to go to iTunes to rate and review us! Also write and Read more…
This is the 2nd episode of Bloody Sunday. The podcast dedicated to thinking and talking too much about the FX show “The Strain”. This episode covers season one, episode two entitled “The Box”. Please take a moment to go to iTunes to rate and review us! Also write and follow Read more…
This is the first episode of a new podcast dedicated to spending time talking about “The Strain” on FX. The first episode made it clear this would not be a chore. It certainly wouldn’t be as laborious as talking about “The Leftovers” on Reheated, though it’s really fun to talk Read more…
In an effort to occupy more of my time hosting free podcasts about TV shows I am adding another one. There’s already Stark Raven Mad, which covers Game of Thrones. Recently I added Reheated: The Leftovers podcast covering the new HBO Show “The Leftovers”. The show kind of sucks right now, Read more…
