Listeners, the world has been filled with much turmoil since we last recorded. Namely of course, Penny Dreadful got abruptly canceled and is now dead like so many dicks. We're sorry for taking so long to release this episode, as our lives came crashing together and then apart. That combined with the emotional shattering of the show ending left us all very tender, and it took a while for us to properly arrange our thoughts. So o...
On this episode of Penny Dreadful, we see some things that collective make us all let out the sails and sail out to sea in our "ship" ship. Our lovely Lyle comes back, only to break our hearts, Vanessa gets a new lady friend that we swoon over, and Ethan finishes dying his Edgelord hair black and sits down for what might be the most awkward family dinner. We also get into Dorian and Lily's prostitute army and how Justine isn't just...
Listeners, if you had started to appreciate the academic and grown up vibe that we've been getting into this season then we are sorry (not sorry) for ruining it this episode. Steph returns along with special guest Kym Stonick to spend an awful lot of time talking about cave fucking. We also discuss how Rusk keeps his arm polished, Frekyll being dicks to each other, and manage to fit in some good discussion about this...questionab...
Welcome little scorpions to our padded room, where we invite you to join us as we scratch and weave our way through Episode 4 of Penny Dreadful's third season, titled "A Blade of Grass". In this episode we take a very intimate mental journey through Vanessa's hypnotic state and find ourselves locked away in the institution. We find out the true extent of Vanessa's past and how it entwines with Caliban and his human life. This week ...
Little scorpions we are here to bring you our discussion of Penny Dreadful's third episode this season, "Good and Evil Braided Be". In this episode we see Ethan and Hecate traveling through the desert and having deep conversations about good and evil. Malcolm and Kaetaney make up the distance between them and Ethan and discuss if Ethan can still be saved. Meanwhile in jolly ole London, Vanessa and Dr. Seward have a breakthrough and...
Welcome little scorpions to the second episode of this season of Penny Dreadful. In this episode, titled "Predators Near and Far", we see what a Victorian dates with Ives and Dr. Sweet is like and what "getting coffee really means". Then we travel to Africa and meet up with Sir Malcolm and learn of how much he enjoys boats and get a treat sized bite of Ethan and Kaetenay's history through a drug induced dream sequence. And to top i...
The day we've all (well maybe except Lord Tennyson) been waiting for has finally arrived! Season 3 is here and boy oh boy did it come in firing on all cylinders. Ives is in Murray Manor doing her best impression of an early 2000's emo teen, Sir Malcolm is in Africa, Ethan is in chains on a train, and Frankenstein has reunited with an old friend. If all of that weren't fantastic enough this episode also drops a huuuuge bombshell as ...
It's that time again, and with less than a week before the premiere (unless you checked it out online early) we thought we'd take one more crack at predictions for Season 3. The next time we're in your ear holes, it'll be for the premiere!

Another dark and steamy episode of World of Darkness for you in our lead up to Season 3! With Ash AWOL, Brad and Steph have to navigate Nika's game by themselves, and things get hairy.

Oh boy listeners. This episode is a real eye opener. We continue our Nika run game of World of Darkness, and see a side of Ash and Brad we've never seen before as our newly vampired characters hunt Jack the Ripper.

This off season episode is an homage to one of our favourite podcasts: The Dollop. Listen as Steph tells Nika, Brad, and Ash all about the hot royal gossip of the 1800s. We discuss assassinations, plaster hands, and the finer points of tying your royal dick down.

It's here! It's finally happened! We've been talking about it since the show started but we've finally done a Q&A episode! Listen to hear your long ago asked questions finally answered! We talk show theories and predictions, secret things about the hosts, and how Ash would hunt us all for sport.

And so the adventures of Mr Utterson:Boy Detective comes to an end. Join us as we discuss the last chapters of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Also, Ash and Brad's dogs were being really uppity, so sorry about that.

Our demonic daddy Lucifer has blessed us with not one, not two, but three new trailers for Penny Dreadful's third season. Naturally we had to dissect them like Victor going at a hot corpse. We theorize what Dorian and Lily are up to, why is Ives in an asylum again, and discuss the return of vampires.
Your hosts are Ashleigh Shadowbrook (@ShadowbrookAsh), Nika Howard (@nika_howard), Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), and Steph Kingston...
In our last episode of 2015 we read chapters 4-6 of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and continue to get distracted by Brad's dog. We also talk Mr.Utterson: Boy Detective, and Deux Ex Mailmen.

It's that time again for another book club! Season 3 of Penny Dreadful is going to feature characters from "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson. So of course, we are here to read and dissect the book, starting with the first 3 chapters. Along the way we talk terrible sleepovers, critique London culture, and get distracted a lot by Brad's new puppy.

After clearing the horrific questions of Yahoo Answers from our brains, Steph returned and Nika fucked off so we figured it was a good time to discuss season 3! We discuss casting, locations, character theories, and literary references. Important to note: when we recorded the episode the casting for Ethan's dad hadn't yet been released. We also discuss GeeklyCon 2016, and what a rip roaring good time it's going to be. Make sure...
For this offseason episode, we decided to delve in to the depths of insanity that is fan fiction! Steph is off nomming on a Vegemite sandwich in Australia so we also decided to take the time to see if we could answer the hard hitting Penny Dreadful questions over at Yahoo Answers. Prepare your bodies, Dreadful Thoughts is heading your way
