Courtney & Joe Spoil Everything
Arts & Culture Podcasts
Hey everybody! We are Courtney and Joe - two entertainment and pop culture addicts who know what it takes to make a great television show. With nearly two decades combined experience in media and production, not to mention two lifetimes dedicated to pop culture, we love everything about TV - the good, the bad, and the reality. In the first half hour of a series, we can typically tell whether it will be a snoozer, loser, or binge-watching enthuser. Even with the all hours we have dedicated to television, there are still many popular series that we have never seen. On this podcast, we will devote each episode to watching and dissecting a show we've never seen... with a twist. We will only watch the pilot episode and the series finale of each show - without ever seeing anything in between. We will discuss our thoughts, predictions, and all snarky comments in between. We will also feature television industry experts and self-proclaimed superfans to guide us on our journey to see if we really do spoil everything.

We kick off the next few weeks dedicated to TV’s “bad boys,” starting with HBO’s True Blood. Between fits of laughter we discuss the show’s N’awlins vampires and campy cast of characters.

Dynasty- Episode 1
3/2/2021
Pop the champagne and bring on the crystals and catfights because this week we watched Dynasty. This ultimate-80s primetime soap opera was well-known for its over-the-top glamour and soapy storylines, and we ate every bit of it up. We compare and contrast the series to its predecessor, Dallas. We also cringe at the tackling of certain topics, but revel in the fashion, forward motion, and feminism of the series. Power-suit up and check out Episode 1.

October Road- Episode 2 with special guest Rebecca Field
2/15/2021
We finally discover a finale we liked just as much as the pilot in October Road! In this episode, we welcome a very special guest, actress Rebecca Field, who played Janet on the gone-too-soon ABC drama. We have an amazing chat with Rebecca who shares stories from the series, and what she is working on now. We leave the episode on a high, leading the official charge for a “bring back October Road” campaign.
Duration:00:57:04
October Road- Episode 1
2/1/2021
We discover one of our favorite shows on the podcast so far, October Road. This short-lived ABC vehicle seemed to fall victim to an undesirable timeslot, despite its stellar cast and it being based on Joe’s life story. We talk about recognizing nearly every actor, the familiarity of the coming home again journey, and make predictions for what we hope will be a satisfying series finale.

The 100 - Episode 2
1/25/2021
In this episode, we figure out that we've been pronouncing the show name wrong the entire time... a first in our pod history. We watch as the series goes completely off the rails. Joe breaks down scene-by-scene while Courtney ponders how the leather jackets have maintained good quality, but everyone is living in broken down bunkers and stick figure houses. We spill our confusion and frustration over a series that seemingly switched genres several times in its seven year run, before letting out a sigh of relief that we are done with sci-fi... for now.
Duration:00:41:49
The 100 - Episode 1
1/18/2021
For the first time in our pod history, Joe finds a sci-fi show that Courtney actually likes... but he doesn't. We crash land on Earth for the CW's post-apocalyptic series, The 100. We follow the teenagers from space ship to their first steps on Earth, finding similarities between this 2014 endeavor and fan-favorite Lost (not to mention Lord of the Flies). We make predictions for deaths, relationships, and battles that will transpire over the next seven seasons.
Duration:00:42:58
Army Wives- Episode 2
1/12/2021
In the finale, we try to work through confusing cast changes and plastic surgery surprises. We go scene-by-scene trying to make sense of cold-shoulder montages and storylines no one seems to care about. We do, however, find delight in Jesse McCartney’s portrayal of a veteran returning from deployment.
Duration:00:34:22
Army Wives- Episode 1
1/5/2021
We take our first plunge into the world of Lifetime with its longest-running scripted series, Army Wives. We breakdown the cast of characters – who we liked, who we didn’t, and whose accent we tried to replicate for an entire episode between cackling laughs. We praise the show for shining light on some important topics, and express excitement for what we’d like to see next.

The Lost Episode: Jam or no Jam
12/4/2020
We jam along to television theme songs in a round of “Jam or Not a Jam!” With songs submitted by some of our biggest fans, we take a trip through time listening to catchy (and confusing) themes from some of television’s most notable shows.
Duration:00:35:18
Angel-Episode 2
11/19/2020
In the finale episode, we host our first guest of the season, Phil Loeb.

We explore the evolution of the series and how it found its footing balancing mythological creatures with the mean streets of LA.
Duration:01:07:17
Angel-Episode 1
11/17/2020
We stroll down dark alleyways and seedy underground lairs while exploring the series, Angel. Joe stumbles into the unknown vampire world, while Courtney can’t help but to compare the show to its (much superior) predecessor, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We talk about the spinoff’s talent, carryover characters, and new direction of noir vampire detective work.
Duration:00:41:50
Xena Warrior Princess- Episode 2
11/5/2020
In the finale, we discuss the most touching and kickass moments of the series wrap-up. We talk about the show's cult following, massive conventions, and its postponed anniversary celebration. We spotlight the “implied” love affair of Xena and Gabrielle… that wasn’t so implied. We elaborate on sensual tattoos, otherworldly dojos, and Xena’s ultimate atonement.
