7: "The Future of the Sport" (Poker Face S1E7)

Sunday, February 19, 2023 • Duration 01:22:58

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

6: "Exit Stage Death" (Poker Face S1E6)

Season 1

Tuesday, February 14, 2023 • Duration 02:25:05

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.

5: "Time of the Monkey" (Poker Face S1E5)

Tuesday, February 7, 2023 • Duration 02:30:08

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:
