  • 43: Fit for TV (Netflix) The Reality of the Biggest Loser as a Metaphor for All of Our Lives
    Oct 29 2025

    A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it they groped about it. The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar like a tree-trunk. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "is a wall". Another who felt its tail, described it as a rope. The last felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and like a spear.

    This is what The Biggest Loser was. It was different things to different people, and Luther and Jobina discuss the entire series from the perspective of the producers, trainers, contestants, and viewers.

  • 40: Zero Day (Netflix) plus One Night Stand equals One Episode Stand
    Aug 7 2025

    In this episode, Jobina and Luther watch the premiere of Zero Day on Netflix and ask the important questions — like, would Jobina want to be president. They also dig into where they get their news, how safe they actually feel, and whether all that defense and offense spending is worth it. The conversation turns to casting choices — including some interesting “what ifs” around race and gender… and of course, they clock the surprise appearance of Angela Bassett. Still stunning. Still iconic.

  • 39: The Chosen (Prime) is Marching Straight Toward the Most Foretold Finale Ever
    Jul 28 2025

    In this episode, Jobina and Luther dive into The Chosen, Season 4, Episode 1 — and yes, Luther shamelessly plugs his book It’s Time to Question HOW Christians Believe, which you can find on Amazon and has great reviews. We reflect on how Jesus communicates in the show (still using symbolism, even with his own followers), and wonder: if the Bible is supposed to be clear, why does so much of it require decoding? We also talk about how daunting it must be to play Jesus on screen, especially with what’s coming. Jobina, still haunted by The Passion of the Christ, questions whether The Chosen will go full gore when the crucifixion hits. It’s a mix of reverence, realism, and a lot of theological side-eye.

  • 38: The Virgins (TLC/Prime) are Virgining But Aren't We All Virgins at Something
    Jul 28 2025

    In this episode, Jobina and Luther watch The Virgins — a reality show following four people navigating sex, shame, and desire in a world obsessed with experience. It seems like two of them want to stay virgins and two really, really, really don’t. We talk about what it means to be a virgin later in life, how hard it can be to feel attractive when you don’t fit the mold, and the surprising revelation that one married couple stayed virgins a whole year after the wedding. We ask: Is virginity a burden, a choice, a circumstance — or just one more way we define ourselves by what we haven’t done?

  • 37: The Righteous Gemstones (Prime) are About as Righteous as Kanye's Gospel Phase
    Jul 15 2025

    This week, Jobina and Luther take on The Righteous Gemstones, but weirdly have to take on Season 4 Episode 2, instead of the series or season premiere. Still, they find plenty to talk about: honesty (or the lack thereof) in relationships and breakups, telethons, what it means to take a break from life, and yes… full frontal nudity.

  • 36: And Just Like That (Max) Nuns Be Nunning
    Jun 19 2025

    Jobina and Luther dive into the Season 3 premiere of And Just Like That on Max — and things get chaotic fast.
    Between a plotline about a pet and another about a kid, Luther’s patience is already tested. But the hosts also dig into the deeper stuff: why so many adults still want to be cool, what love looks like at different stages of life, and the unexpected twist involving a virgin nun who maybe should’ve said something before hooking up.

    As always, opinions fly — and you’ll definitely want to hear what they think.
