Welcome, dear listeners, to Season Five of BS Reactor — yes, five seasons, which officially makes us older than most start-ups and at least three streaming services. We’ve been on a brief pause, thanks to that cruel mistress called ‘scheduling,’ a few medical speed bumps, and, apparently, the radical notion that humans occasionally need sleep. Revolutionary stuff.
But here we are, rebooted and refreshed — or at least upright — with this warm-up episode to stretch the conversational muscles before diving headfirst into whatever chaos the crew tackles next.
As always, a few disclaimers: there will be spoilers, and there will be profanity. Not exceptionally gratuitous, mind you — just the sort of profanity you’d expect when weirdos get passionate and occasionally lose track of polite vocabulary.
If you’d like to follow along, binge past episodes, or simply marvel at how we’ve kept this experiment alive, visit BSReactor.com — it’s where we keep the audio, the links, and a contact form that we genuinely intend to read this season. Honest.
Now then — let’s begin Season Five: conversations, tangents, and at least one attempt to turn existential dread into a party trick.
Next week we're starting a conversation about the movie Pixel Perfect, get excited.
