Kat and Naomi begin a side quest as they watch along with the premiere season of the latest show in Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, AMC's Talamasca: The Secret Order. They begin with a bumper edition as they discuss the first two episodes of the show, We Watch and We Are Always There and A Wilderness of Mirrors.
Join us as we dive into the world of the generically named Guy and his slightly mystifying decision to blow off a 6 figure role in a law firm to join slinky Helen and her secret organisation. We delve into how Guy isn’t the best secret agent ever, are horrified at the pint of dubious liquid Guy gets poured in a “pub” and discuss how American productions should never try to replicate the tube.

Naomi and Kat are back for another bonus episode as Kat finally manages to persuade Naomi to watch the 2002 movie Queen of the Damned.
Our intrepid duo delve into thorny topics such as Stuart Townsend’s impenetrable accent, the sheer horror of straight washed Lestat, Jessie’s incredible lack of survival instincts & peak 2000’s wardrobe, the film’s bewildering approach to Anne Rice’s novels and key canon, the wonders of Aliyah, the incredible costuming, the baffling decision to have Akasha only appear 50 minutes into this horrendous movie and what the hell Paul McGann is doing in this.
We watched it so you don’t have to. Enjoy!
