Curiosity Killed the Cat

Welcome to season two of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, the dance of dragons is here! I hope you enjoy this recap of HOTD episodes 1-3!

What can I say? We have a shiny, new dark prince amongst us that has somehow (mostly) united this unruly fandom. Call him Qimir, The Stranger, or if you're a Jedi, Sith. Lee Jung-jae as Jedi Master Sol has quickly become one of my favorite Jedi's ever. The loss he experiences, surviving The Stranger through his grief & anger, having to leave behind the bodies of his padawan & fellow Jedi was excruciating. Will the “parent trap twin swap” work out for Mae or could it lead Osha to the dark side with The Stranger? Shout out to PIP and Bazil, the best lil fellas on the show. Hope you enjoy!

Valar Morghulis & welcome to this no notes, rambling episode where I get into my hype for season two of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. I get into everything from season one highlights to what we can expect in season two. Dracarys! (episode is “mostly” spoiler free)

The fifth day of night is upon us! This episode I'll be getting into episodes two & three of Season 4's TRUE DETECTIVE. The scientists have been found on ice & are transported to the local ice skating rink to thaw while Liz, Evangeline, & co figure out how they got there in the first place. The mystery behind the mine, research station, and the cases of Annie K & the scientists deepen as we head into the second half of the season. Thanks for listening!

True Detective is back baby! Season four is here and starring none other than Jodie Foster. Murder, missing scientists, and one eyed polar bears plague the fictional mining town of Ennis, Alaska. Is it the mine? The water? Or something else?…

Welcome to Season 5 of Curiosity Killed the Cat! I'm kicking it off with some of my favorite Star Wars moments. I get into everything from Revenge of the Sith, to Clone Wars 2D, to the shows, and the original films & sequels! Hope you enjoy & thank you for tuning in!

The ultimate finale has risen. The end of Succession is here! Let's get into who “wins”, who doesn't, and who is stuck in a perpetual doom loop forever…

Shiv and Tom have the fight of the century at their “tailgate” party, Lukas has bad numbers, & Kendall has one head for one crown. Hope you enjoy!

Shiv's secretly pregnant. Kendall Logan Roy is #1 boy again. Poor Roman is spiraling from the death of their father. I get into a little of ep4 and a lot on ep5. Hope you enjoy!

“The Return” is here! Moff vs Din, Bo vs Moff, and Grogu vs them all! Hope you enjoyed the finale and this episode.

Return to Mandalore! Again! This time with more Mandalorians. Who are the so called spies of this episode? Who is this Thrawn guy? Project Necromancer, oh my! Hope you enjoy!

Sevens hells, they killed off Logan Roy! This episode was full of shock, grief, and remorse over unfinished business. What will the children Roy do now that their titan of a father is gone? (I WILL BE DOING A DEEPER DIVE ON SARAH SNOOK'S STELLAR PERFORMANCE IN THE NEXT SUCCESSION EPISODE)

No Desperado at karaoke, a surprise visit from Logan at ATN, and the kids trying to squeeze a little more juice out of the GoJo deal. Hope you enjoy!

Pirates, Rangers, and Zeb! Oh my! Hope you enjoy this episode.

Succession is back & the kids are alright! Welcome back, we made it over a year since season three ended with the children Roy being blindsided by their own family. Season four begins with a deal with Pierce, an odd birthday for Logan, and Tom & Shiv's sad ending to their marriage. Hope you enjoy! Do your ways

The foundling is here! We had so much to be thankful for in this Carl Weathers directed episode. Space pterodactyls! Baby space pterodactyls! New armor for Grogu and Bo! Order 66 flashbacks with none other than Ahmed freakin Best! Hope you enjoy✨

Bless my travel biscuits, he's been saved! Din is no longer an apostate & neither is Bo (was she ever though?). Dr. Pershing is back. We have a new set of muscles in Star Wars, the beautiful (but very much evil) Elia. And that was definitely not a mind flayer right?… Right!? (I referred to this episode as chapter 20 many times throughout the podcast, it's chapter 19!)

Peli! Bo! Cave trolls! This episode was jammed packed with omg moments. An eyeball droid takes Din, Bo Katan sees the mythical creature of Mandalore, & Grogu kicked some troll ass! Hope you enjoy!

Hello there and welcome to a very special Star Wars episode! Join me as I get deeper into the premiere of The Mandalorian, Kenobi's finale, and Andor. Hope you enjoy!

Din and Grogu are back & in the Naboo starfighter battling a giant crocodile/tortoise monster. They save the day & some mandalorians & go off to Navarro. More Babu Friks! There is also sad girl era Bo-Katan. (I forgot to mention Grogu spinning in the office chair and force grabbing candy, apologies)

My Neighbor Totoro is a whimsical, and beautiful tale of two young sisters. With their mom in the hospital, dad and “granny” care for the girls. They meet a mystical forest creature named Totoro and their magical journey begins! Hope you enjoy!

It's finally time to get into the HOUSE OF THE DRAGON finale! The crowning of Queen Rhaenyra, Daemon's dragon lullaby, and losing Luke to Aemond's big dragon… So much to dive into, I hope you enjoy!

Willow is back! Join me as I discuss the first three episodes of this magnificent continuation of the beloved movie. Hope you enjoy! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sara-cktc/support

Time to play catch up with the last few episodes of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON! Join me as I get into a little of ep4, more of ep5, and plenty into ep6. Daemon went from strutting Rhaenyra around the streets of silk to being a widow twice over (the first time was his doing) and girl dad to Baela & Rhaena. We met Vhagar & said goodbye to beautiful Laena. Rhaenyra walked several flights of stairs seconds after giving birth to her third STRONG son. Alicent's demand to see the baby was no more than a petty play at seeing if the baby favored any Velaryon/ Targaryen features. So very much to get into! Hope you enjoy!

The prequel is here! House of the Dragon is big, rich, and fiery. Rhaenyra Targaryen, first born to King Viserys patiently waits as her “brother” is to be born. Warned by her mother that their battlefield is the birthing bed, she loses both mom & brother within a day of each other. Grief stricken by her loss she is ever surprised when her father decides to name her heir to the Iron Throne. With the help of her uncle, the hand of the king, and her best friend Alicent, all of that will come crashing down into what is called The Dance of The Dragons. There will be SO MANY dragons! May the seven be with us all! (You can find me on Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube @SaraPalpatine

Welcome back to Westeros! House of the Dragon is rewinding the Targaryen history back roughly 200 years to a time where dragons & Targaryens alike were plentiful. Drama, scandal, & polarizing characters saturate this time in Westeros. What's new? In this show you'll meet Rhaenyra, Daemon, Alicent, Etc… What happens when a King promises the kingdom to his daughter, only to have sons with his second wife? The dance of the dragons of course! I hope you enjoy this crash course into the some of the fictional Targaryen history from Fire & Blood! Potential spoilers abound!

Obi Wan spins again! The signature lightsaber move is back! The seeds of the rebellion begin, Rip Wade. Still no Tala/Obi Wan kisses, but we did get espionage! Leia and Reva play mental cat and mouse. We see a literal Jedi tomb, very dark & very heavy. And the ethereal breathing of Vader jump scares into one of his hardest hallway scenes ever.

I love when Star Wars is James Earl Jones and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader. Ghost Anakin is drippin in the desert. Obi Wan goes through some more emotional AND physical trauma. Poor Leia is watching him go through it, while pondering if he's her real dad. We meet an “eff around and find, out anti stormtrooper” droid Ned. A game of thrones / mando connection, LOVE to see it. And so much more… also I apologize for the ten minute Starlight Cola Ted Talk, it's called manifesting a sponsorship sweetie

HELLO THERE and welcome back! They gave us Obi Wan Kenobi. It's actually here. Blessed be the sacred Kenobi. Here is my reaction to parts one and two! The most chaotically emotional episode to date

Bonus kenobi episode alert! I want to see this trailer in the theaters… Stunning, iconic, slightly scary, and a little bit of hope for good measure! *I mentioned that Rupert Friend (the inquisitor) was in Marie Antoinette… NOPE! It was a different period piece, he was in Pride and Prejudice as the devious Mr. Wickham. Jane Austin fans unite! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sara-cktc/support

Din returns! And he's bringing them in cold baby! Aunt Peli is a blessing to us all and to whatever Jawa she dated. She's working on her, fellas! Fennec never sits normal. Grogu gets mysterious gift, buuuut we will have to wait to see what it is. Ohh the anticipation… With all that being said, I missed you big time Boba. Cheers to what we've been given and to what comes next!

Hellllo there! It's a Game of Thrones/ A Song of Ice and Fire themed episode! I'm joined by my friend & fellow ASOIAF super fan Jimmy -host of the YouTube channel The Fantasy Nuttwork- to talk Robert Baratheon and Rhaegar Targaryen.

Hello there! I am once again joined by Tom from the CloneCast podcast to discuss another SW novel. This time it's Dark Disciple, featuring Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos! Sent on a mission by the council, Jedi Quinlan Vos must enlist the help of Asajj Ventress in hopes to assassinate Count Dooku. Love, betrayal, and Obi Wan are the stand outs of this book. Originally written by Katie Lucas for The Clone Wars, the episodes never made it on air. Luckily this book made up for that!

Kristen Stewart should be preparing her Oscar speech. This movie could not have been a walk in the park for her to make. It is physically intense, full of suffocating anxiety attacks, and is just an overall deep person to portray. This film takes a look into Princess Diana's three day Christmas holiday at The Queen's country estate. It shows Diana doing her best to take control of her role as a mother to her two young boys. Pretty hard to do when The Queen reigns supreme. She prevailed. She was able to break free from the confines of this over bearing family and live a life true to herself & sons. Despite it being short lived. Despite being hunted and hounded by the paparazzi. The score for the film is a beautiful mix of classical and jazz. The cinematography stuns. Kristen's performance is a revelation. Hauntingly well done.  -Trigger warning for plot lines that involve eating disorders. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sara-cktc/support

I loved this episode! (and no, I'm not a Disney bot) We got a nice long episode full of Huttese twins, acid trips, and how to be a KING!

Green goop & water pods! What a feeling! LGBTQ+ babes rejoice! BETTE PORTER is back! Jennifer Beals is Garsa Fwip, a “club” manager who gets a visit from Boba and Fennec. Ming-Na Wen, and Temuera Morrison are in their 50's! They're kicking more ass and taking more names than I could dream of at 34. Robert Rodriguez is a mad man for this episode!

What have we here?! The Revenge of The Sith novel of course… For this episode I'm joined by Tom from The Clone Cast podcast and thankful for it! We discussed Dooku, Windu, Yoda, Padme, Obi Wan, AND yucky Palpatine. Did we rate them character-wise on a scale of 0-10? Yes, yes we did. It was a true delight talking to Tom about how emotionally devastating this book was. As if the movie isn't painful enough… Hope you enjoy! (my deepest apologies for the audio crackles that pop up

After binging all four Matrix films in the span of less than 24 hours, I'm fully plugged in! This episode will be me doing nothing but gushing about the newest film, Resurrections.

The last episode set it all up perfectly. The “D” pic Roman sent to Logan lowered his status immediately & seemingly irrevocably. Shiv and Tom went from seemingly reconciled to nightmare nitro fuel. Kendall is alive and struggling to survive. Connor? Engaged! Logan? A new baby on the way?

Good day fellow citizens of The Seven Kingdoms. This episode I discuss Cersei Lannister with my friend, Author Adrienne Dillard! Join us as we dive into the dark waters of Casterly Rock's eldest daughter… We struggled coming to terms with her being a flat out villian. In a world full of gray characters in George RR Martin's world, she remains unjustified in almost every action she's taken. We hope you enjoy this fun take on a girl turned Queen & in time turned paranoid in prophecy… And so, so much more! Including a fascinating take on the sea witch siren from The Odyssey who turned men into pigs. Adrienne knows her stuff!

Kendall had a 40th bday bash and holy shit it was reckless, extravagant, and became totally irrelevant to him & others in the end.

Here's a little mini dive into this weeks latest episode of Succession! Kendall becomes insolent as ever. Shiv maneuvers Tom's spiraling reality, her dad, and an eager Presidential candidate.

Welcome to the 5th ring of the third level of Succession! Jk its episode five of season three folks, not another level of hell. Or is it? The children Roy are spiraling yet again in the never ending hurricane that is their father. Logan goes piss mad, imaginary cats are put in bags, and Kendall somehow remembers the victim's names of Waystar/Royco's crimes by heart.
