This week on YFaN: Wasting the services of a high level attorney, coffeeshop calamity, and more cocaine.We'll be back next week with our coverage of what is sure to be a wild finale.

An awkward memorial service, a potential frame job, and another finale worthy conclusion with two episodes remaining in the season.Manic Jon Hamm included.

YFAN goes Ivy League, and Cristian goes to an unfortunate extreme. Mel/Coop remain a compelling dynamic for us, but we're starting to be a little weary of the Cooper kids.

Are you a ball of stress? Have you considered burning a million dollar check from your in laws as a medicinal from of catharsis?Coop and Elena get tangled up with Mr. Drummond, Samantha goes to Boston, and Paul leaves his son the worst kind of birthday present.

It may be time to have a conversation about this show being one of the best things on television right now.For now; Elena upgrades Coop's shoddy operation, Mel continues to struggle, and we get a trampoline scene that can't be beat.

We are once again asking... who has the gun?Coop continues his slide, Samantha airs things outs, and Hunter picks the wrong place and time for a new experience. Poor Barney is just over here paying seven figures for shade.

Join us on our journey to attempt to separate John Hamm from Don Draper.

The last day of vacation always sucks.Guns go off, direct deposits hit, and hearts are broken in an epic The White Lotus season 3 finale. Let's talk about it.We'll return this weekend with our coverage of the debut of My Friends and Neighbors from Apple TV.

Violence is an eight letter word.We're here to discuss what very well may be the best episode yet of TWL season 3. Make sure you're properly balanced in your chair before listening.

PPV Idea: Clips of Victoria Ratliff spending a year at the Temple in Thailand leading into a Laurie/Jaclyn cage match

Don't you just love an epic reunion gone sour?An Oceans 11 plan from Devon and Cobel, every version of Mark imaginable, Seth Milchick melting our screens once again, and an unexpected positive turn for dylan's storlyine.We hate to see it go, but we're here to discuss the finale of Severance season 2.

Welp, they went there.Where? Well, Sam Rockwell has probably already been there for months.The trio throws down, the full moon full moons, and stuff gets weird on Greg/Gary's boat. We'll be back Saturday to discuss the season 2 finale of Severance, Cold Harbor.

If Stiller and Erickson ever hear this, they'll probably be telling us to devour feculence.On that scene, and all the other stuff that wasn't quite as good. We are 2/3 of the way to pushing the panic button on Severance, but JerBear is here to assuage all of our concerns as we head into the finale.

This week in Thailand...What's Valentin playing at? Is Rick in an Inigo Montoya, or a Luke Skywalker dilemma? And of course...When and in what directions does that *** go off?

Salt's neck, an intellectual property lawsuit, and Harmony Cobel walk into a barWe are back to discuss Severance, potential pacing issues with Cobel's storyline this season, and what Lumon ultimately wants.We'll return Wednesday with our coverage of The White Lotus 3.4

Chelsea stuck on a boat with Gary/Greg, Chloe, and the Ratliffs? Sign us up.Not quite ready to sign up for Valentin's energy session, though.

The sweatiest of eyes, the biggest of answers, the response to Steve Martin's Little Shop of Horrors dentist, this episode has it all.Let's talk about what we know now, and what it means for the future of this show.

Rick & Chelsea making strong MVP turns early in the season.Pornchai stunning Belinda (and all of us) with both his warrior massage and impressive physique. The Ratliffs are still the Ratliffs

Next on the list? Thailand.Does a monkey have that gun?What.... is going on with the Ratliff family?

That's enough cynical Mark S for this season, thank you.GDL is back to discuss what this episode sets up for the back half of S2. Where will Mr. Milchick land with his loyalties? What will reintigration continue to look like for Mark? And can someone PLEASE cut Helly a break?We'll be back with Severance 2.6 next weekend, but we'll first be back on Tuesday evening with our debut coverage of White Lotus season 3.

We will be taking our ORTBO in a much more tropical location, thank you very much.Join GDL as we break down Turturro's Emmy reel, the placement of glamping heaters, the scene that required no supplemental heat, and a not so big reveal.

9.8 rhymes with reintigrate No time for jokes, we're here to discuss one of the most jaw dropping TV episodes to hit screens in quite some time. Mark reintigrates, Helena continues to prove she's Helena, and Dylan gets wrapped up in another potential love triangle. Cobel, well.....

We are here for the Devon stans Another week, another series of questions that lead down endless rabbit holes. Why is Cold Harbor more significant than any other file Mark's refined? Where does Lumon source their pineapples from? Is Helena.... jealous of Helly? Let's talk about it. Special shout out to @margaretasylum for being the first we saw to point out the Helena evidence in this ep.

#NotMyHelly It's finally here, and it's as good as it ever was. We're back to discuss a glass smashing, world building, time bending, new perk having episode of Severance from Apple TV. Share feedback/thoughts/theories with us on Twitter/X @GDLPod

Join us next week as we welcome back- Platinum Pen Award winner for Best Show- Severance to our screens and lives. Until then, have a jelly doughnut.

Just as our spirits are intertwined, so too shall be our banter. GDL takes a look at one of the most anticipated releases of 2024 as Robert Eggers settles into familiar territory with a reinvention of the 1922 classic silent film. Rose-Depp shines, Dafoe/Ineson/Skarsgard are expectedly brilliant, Aaron Taylor-Johnson.... did not leave us Kraven more of his performance. Join us as we discuss this beautifully shot film, and deicide where exactly we land on it. (Note: Spoilers begin a few minutes in)

Lumon told us they'd keep our resume on file in case anything comes open. Finally! After multiple strikes, multiple years, and a whole lot of rewatches, Apple TV's best product is returning in just under a month. We got together to discuss what a return to the office may mean for our favorite innies, what exactly we should and will find out this season, and so much more.

Apologies for the long layoff, here's a little something to keep you warm this holiday season (especially if you're an Oregon fan). A look at matchups between Clemson-Texas, SMU-Penn St, and Ohio St-Tennessee. Will we see Arch Manning? Will Ryan Day still be the head coach at Ohio St when the quarterfinals are being played? All that and more.

We eschew Wicked and the month of December to wrap up our Chivember series the only way we ever could. Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Richard Gere star, sing, and dance their way to a couple of not guilty convictions with help from the press and the ole' razzle dazzle.

We promise we have lots of nice stuff to say about this movie after the halfway mark. Unfortunately, none of those things are about Kevin Costner. Join us next week as we wrap up Chivember before getting slightly more festive for December.

Don't listen to this podcast if you're a fan of this movie. Don't watch this movie if you're a fan of Capone, Chicago, or.... movies. We'll be back with part 3 next week.

What does $300 worth of beer look like in 1980? Did Dan Akroyd ever go back for Twiggy? How did Matt Murphy just walk out on Aretha Franklin like that?!?! All that and more on the first installment of Chivember, presented by GDL.

We are in fact, talkin' to you. Shout out to Scorsese, $1.9 million, and pretty much everything else about this movie. Join us next week for part 1 of Chivember.

*sad tenor sax sounds* A review on a cautionary tale of why you should never shop at Bloomingdale's if you plan on ever seeing your family again. Robin Williams is back, and we will be as well next week with Pt. 4.

And just like that... Didn't expect us to have this one in our bags did you? Well you never know what a night out at Chaos can lead to.

Join us for some laughs thanks to this all time comedy classic starring Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, and... somehow more. Also featuring some slight commiseration over some recent major flops at the box office.

No cranberry juice was harmed in the making of this podcast. A tale of two rats: One path lined with comic books, swank apartments, unbelievable pocket texting skills, Vera Farmiga, and one lined with broken plaster, isolation, addiction, and... Vera Farmiga. Jack Nicholson is off the rails, Marky Mark isn't far behind him. You should be as well by the end of this movie.

You may be wondering, how do you follow up a viewing of a Damon/Affleck classic? With an Affleck/Fallon double feature of course! (Sadly, no Dunkin' this week)

Denis Villeneuve might be Lisan al-Gaib. Grab your sandworm popcorn bucket, propose a political marriage in front of your main squeeze, don't drink any blue Gatorade, but do join us for our review of what may be THE movie of 2024. As it is written. We promise we didn't do this just to talk trash about Blonde (2022).

At times somewhat uneducated, at times completely ignorant, at all times nobody has taken a snap yet. Wait, is this GDL or the AP top 25? Apologies to Mike Norvell, congratulations to Arby's and the Oregon Ducks. Our preview (??) of the 2024 college football season is finally here.

Not sure what was more up in the air: best supporting actor, or our opinions on Todd Phillips' ability to pull off Joker: Folie A Deux. Congratulations to all our winners, and The Bear (Christopher Storer, FX), Fallout (Graham Wagner, Prime), Severance (Dan Erikson/Ben Stiller, Apple), and Shogun (Rachel Kondo/Justin Marks, FX) on providing a year's worth of entertaining media for us to discuss. We'll see you next week for our 2024 College Football Preview Show

The fall of the Bank of Cicero, Syd remaining indecisive, the long awaited showdown with Chef Jeff Winger, Olivia Coleman submitting more Emmy competition for Jamie Lee.
