Revisiting s06e13 “The Gloves Are On”

Ravenswood s01e10 “My Haunted Heart”
Well folks, we did it. We’ve completed the first and only season of Ravenswood, an odd, half-baked show that never seemed to know what story it was trying to tell. The finale, in a word, is baffling.

Ravenswood s01e08 “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”

PLL: Summer School s02e05 “Friday the 13th”
In s02e05 “Friday the 13th” of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin: Summer School, Imogen is getting more and more unhinged, and it’s unclear whether it’s a pharmaceutical reaction, or she’s just being a #Girlboss. Tabby realizes she hasn’t gotten to soapbox in a few episodes and rectifies that situation, and then plans an outdoor horror movie fest with Christian. Noa cheats some more, and then thro
PLL: Summer School s02e04 “When a Stranger Calls Back”
In s02e04 “When a Stranger Calls Back” of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin: Summer School, Imogen poorly recreated the end of Sixteen Candles with Johnny.

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School Pre-game — “Student Bodies” (1981)
Well, this movie sucked. In preparation for Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, we watched the 1981 film Student Bodies, which the PLL:SS season stole its first poster from. And it’s really bad and not worth watching or disgusting. In better news, you can preorder our new book!
Pretty Little Liars: Summer School Pre-game — “Summer School” (1987)
Hola, amigos. It’s been a while since we rapped at ya. Since Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is about to come back for a second season, now titled Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, we thought we might get back into the swing of things by time traveling back to 1987 to revisit the original Summer School movie, staring Mark Harmon and Courtney Thorne-Smith as the proto-Aria Montgomery. They sure
PLL Commentary - s06e01 “Game On, Charles”
The Bros conclude the Dollhouse arc with special guest Janina, looking at the Season 6 premier of Pretty Little Liars.

Also, “It’s Andrew Babe!” After the commentary, there’s a little more Trouble talk, so beware of spoilers!
PLL Commentary - s05e25 “Welcome to the Dollhouse”
We’re back for more commentary episodes, this time with a guest all the way from Germany! Janina joins us to cover the first half of the infamous Dollhouse arc, where Pretty Little Liars really ascended to new levels of insanity. After the commentary, we talk a little Trouble, so beware of spoilers as we poll Janina for how well we did on the European setting for Trouble Takes a Holiday.
Podcast Extra - “Clueless”
In a Headcanon crossover episode, the Bros are joined by Kate to talk about the grandmother of all modern teen movies: Amy Heckerling’s Clueless. The Girl from the Aerosmith video shows limitless charm as Cher, the ditzy queen of Bronson Alcott High, and the stellar supporting cast of future stars makes this teen retelling of “Emma” a classic.
PLL Commentary - s05e13 “How the ‘A’ Stole Christmas”
Thanksgiving is over, and it’s time to get in the holiday cheer with a commentary track for the PLL Christmas Episode. Elizabeth Kyle joins us again to talk Winter Ball fashion, inappropriate student-teacher Santa fetish group sex, and whatever happened to Ali’s legs!

PLL Commentary - s03e13 “This is a Dark Ride” take 2
An episode so good, we did it again. We’re joined on the podcast by Elizabeth Kyle to talk over the classic Ghost Train episode. Aria: still A! Pastor Ted: still sucks! Ghost Trains: still not a real thing! Be on the lookout for some light spoilery Trouble talk at the end.
Podcast Extra! “Do Revenge”

At the end of the episode, we have some very spoilery discussion of Trouble T
PLL: Original Sin s01e10 “Final Girls”
A and A’s handler are exposed, along with the secret rapist, and we’re finally done with this stupid show. The “guilty” are “punished” by the “killer” after the big “twist” reveal cooked up by these “writers.” It’s all so dumb. Anyway, our new book is out!
PLL: Original Sin s01e09 “Dead and Buried”
We’re almost done. Two to go for this trash show. The writers pretended the plot was over at the end of the last episode, so we’re treated to a lame recap where they try to lampshade their poor storytelling. A bunch of stuff happens off screen, and we’re told, not shown, a bunch of random stuff to move the plot along. The evil Sheriff is revealed to be more evil, and the secret rapist becomes rath
PLL: Original Sin s01e08 “Bad Blood”
The Sinners concoct a dumb, pointless plan to gather up a bunch of bloody cotton balls from the school Blood Drive, so they can test them en masse to see if one of the students is the father of Imogen’s rape baby. Oh, and Crazy Joe comes back, acts super threatening, seems to clearly be A and then k-words himself, so of course he’s not A. Help.
PLL: Original Sin s01e07 “Carnival of Souls”
Imogen encourages Tabby to go to the cops about her assault, but isn’t ready to go yet herself. Instead, she’s doing the old, “high school project to take care of a fake baby with a romantic interest” plot line, which is extra gross because… you know. Mouse has more drama with her creepy LARPing dude Steve, and tricks her mom into revealing one of the more boring deep dark secrets imaginable. Fara
PLL: Original Sin s01e06 “Scars”
Imogen and Tabby bond over their shared trauma and take a trip to fake-ass Rosewood to talk to fake-ass Eddie Lamb at the fake-ass Radley Hotel. Noa, Faran, and Mouse are stuck in some theater kid after school special nonsense. But don’t worry, folks, everything is super empowering and totally on fleek. Straight bussin’ fr fr no cap.
PLL: Original Sin s01e05 “The Night He Came Home”
The Sinners throw a High School Rager™ to raise money to save the local rec center—er, pay Imogen’s mortgage. Everyone talks to each other like they’re in a flame war on Tumblr. It’s Halloween. There’s lots of costumes, but no Adam Lambert or even Giant Drag making an appearance. I hate this show. Help!
PLL: Original Sin s01e04 “The (Fe)Male Gaze”
This week on the pod, Imogen’s been thinking about her mom, and she’s got some unkind words for the rotting bitch. Mouse has like five lines. Faran might be the worst. Noa gets chased around and scared into selling her useless mom out. And Tabby has a super-fun sexual assault mystery plot line! We’d rather be watching the show where Caleb and Toby are driving through town on the way to infiltrate
PLL: Original Sin s01e03 “Aftermath”
Karen is dead! Or was it secretly Kelly? Who cares? It’s not like we’d seen enough of them for it to mean anything. The “Liars” are lying about the one thing it would make sense to tell the truth about, and telling the truth about everything else. The writers don’t seem interested in developing characters or creating tension, and the direction is somehow even worse. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE CAM
PLL: Original Sin s01e02 “The Spirit Queen”
Something finally happens on the show this week, despite the whole, “We’re gonna kill Karen Beasley!” thing being a complete lie. Imogen has feeling about being Sprit Queen like her mom when she also bullied a girl like her mom (but she doesn’t know that yet). Mouse is very upset about the killing of some dirty rodent. Faran doesn’t have much to do. Tabby makes way too many horror movie references
PLL: Original Sin s01e01 “Spirit Week”
After a long slumber, the Bros have awoken and attended the red carpet premiere of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, a show featuring no Pretty Little Liars, no originality, and not enough sin. We only watched this once, and this is all from memory, so if we get something wrong, blame Warner Bros for not inviting us to the after party.

PLL Commentary - s01e17 “The New Normal”
This week on the pod, we’re doing our commentary track for Pretty Little Liars s01e17 “The New Normal.” Hanna is letting the Artful Dodger sleep in her basement, and he comes in handy when he clocks James Leland as a lying goldbricker trying to con her mom vis a vis dead old Mrs. Potter’s safety deposit box.

Check out our commentary track for Pretty Little Liars s01e13 “Know Your Frenemies.” Aria can’t complain, because A saved her relationship. Maya gets shipped off to “juvie camp” because nosy Pam found a joint and some roach clips, so the other liars coordinate an evening of lovemaking for Emily, lending her Spencer’s bed.
