We're onto the second episode of Season 3 of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, and that means it's time to listen back to the predictions we made for this episode immediately after watching "Meet the Family" (oh dear...) but we ALSO get to talk about that touching scene between Viktor and Allison, how the Sparrows treat their special guests, and what on earth is going on with Stanley's leaky ear. Plus favourite small recruit #4 (AKA Klaus Hargreeves) gets some good plot-advancing info from the womenfolk!

At the start of this season of The Umbrella Academy, Josh and Mia talk about making the acquaintance of a whole new set of Hargreeveses - aka the Sparrows - and what it means for our Brellies. And amid the dance break and the fighting, there's another character we couldn't leave out - she's a slutty old dame and she goes by the name of the Hotel Obsidian! But before you listen, please, a moment of silence for Mr Pennycrumb - he was too good for this timeline...

We're back with our first full-length episode on Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy! In this episode, we look at the season as a whole, so there WILL be spoilers if you haven't finished it yet! There's a lot to talk about, from a whole new Hargreeves family to get to know, to the character arcs of our familiar favourites, and we try and cover it all in our season summary and best bits. PLUS we give our predictions for what Season 4 holds for the Brellies (and maybe the Sparrows..?)!

It really is the end of something as we close out our rewatch of Umbrella Academy Season 2! In our final episode we hear from Josh about how Elon Musk spoke to him about The Mars and writing for the show, we find out Harlan's real feelings about THAT accident, and we say au revoir to our favourite group of misfit superheroes.
Well, this group at least...

In the first half of another two-parter, Josh and Mia are joined by the wonderful Cesar to discuss their take on The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Episode 9, ‘743’. As the penultimate episode of Season 2, there’s equal parts silliness, sadness, and suspense, as we catch up with Vanya's stay with the FBI and her visit from Ben, our fav new band Luther and the Fives, and the happenings at the Commission, where the Handler has a resourceful goldfish and a sweaty gerbil man to contend with. And we start to see how Harlan's being affected by his powerful link to Vanya...

So here it is, the second part of our amazing two parter. It's part 2. We're talking Bring It On, fart jokes, time travel, more fart jokes, the truth about the apocalypse, and then even more fart jokes. It's the smelliest episode yet but our commentary smells like roses.

The eagle-eyed among you may have spotted that yes, we've done another 2-parter for Season 2 Episode 8 of The Umbrella Academy, 'The Seven Stages'. Can you blame us?! We're only a few episodes away from the finale! Will Ben ever be clean again? How has Five not already invalidated his own existence? And are we burnin' or buryin'?!

In this special festive episode, Josh and Mia attempt to explain the plot of last year's one-shot from Dark Horse comics, 'Hazel & Cha Cha Save Christmas: Tales from the Umbrella Academy'. We speculate about how it would look as a Netflix episode, whether a character is based on Gerard Way, and what the ending really means... PLUS we dive into Santa's Sack for some verbal treats from listeners!
We'll be back next time to talk about Season 2, Episode 8, 'The Seven Stages', but in the meantime, hope you enjoy this episode, and have a very happy holiday, whatever you're doing.

Since we recorded this episode, Elliot Page, the actor who plays Vanya Hargreeves, has announced that he is trans, and uses he/they pronouns. We don’t think there are any instances in this episode where we use their deadname or misgender them, but sincerely apologise if we’ve missed any.

Content note: this episode also contains discussions about homophobia.
Part 2 of our episode on ‘Öga for Öga’ is here! In this episode, we follow Five, Diego and Luther as they split up to bring their siblings back together. We talk Klaus & Ben (Klen? Blaus?), why Reginald Hargreeves is the patriarchy, and how Allison FINALLY mentions Claire!
