Poker Face kicks off with a banger of an episode, with an introduction to our intrepid, truth-divining, Lady Galahad-of-a protagonist, Charlie Cale, and a fantastically weaselly guest-starring performance by none other than Adrien Brody. Jade, Penny, and Jason chat about our favorite parts, the implications of being able to tell when anyone is lying, and much much more. Enjoy!

Vroom vroooom, buckle up everybody, start your engines, and let’s burn rubber as Penny, Jason, and special guest Steve “Live Steve” Brown speed through this week’s episode! Seems this one was a lot of people’s least favorite, but we pulled the ep over for a pit stop, broke it down, kicked the tires, popped the hood and looked around inside the engine, and found a ton of great stuff in there. A real hummer. :P

Welcome back, Murder Magneteers! Join Jason, Penny and Jade as they dissect Episode 6, “Exit Stage Death.” This one is about the theater, so you know our resident actor has a lot to say. The play within a show, “Ghosts of Pensacola,” won’t be winning any Tony Awards, but Ellen Barkin and Tim Meadows deliver fantastic performances.

The old ladies did it, bitches! I think we can all agree that Estelle Getty walked so that, years later, Judith Light and S. Epatha Merkerson could run!

Penny, Jason and Jade are joined by a special guest Kara for what many have said is their favorite episode of Poker Face thus far. Sorry for the length this week, but, NECESSARY!

And since we actually managed to make it through this whole episode without referencing the Golden Girls (don't know how that happened), on behalf of all four of us; to all of our listeners:

<3 Thank you for being a friend <3
