Episodes
Pluribus may be the best show of 2025. From the alien signal that transforms humanity into a collective hive mind, to Carol Sturka’s desperate struggle to maintain individuality, this episode we dive deep into themes, symbolism, character arcs, shocking twists, and what Episodes 1–4 mean for the rest of Vince Gilligan’s excellent new show on Apple TV+.
If you’re watching Pluribus, this is the spoiler-packed conversation you don’...
It: Welcome to Derry on HBO Max is a series that ties together It, It: Chapter Two, The Shining, and probably a lot of Stephen King stories, despite not being directly based on any book.
In this episode, we break down how the series connects to King’s wider multiverse, including cosmic horror elements, Pennywise, and ties to characters, timelines, and mythology across his works.
Prequels are hard, but the juice does seem to ...
Welcome to Intro Skippers with Kim Horcher and Jason Charles Miller, the podcast where we skip the fluff and dive straight into the good stuff!
In this episode, we break down “The Chair Company” on HBO / HBO Max from Tim Robinson, master of chaotic cringe comedy and now, suspense? Would this show make sense if you’ve never seen I Think You Should Leave? What is a Tim Robinson character, at its heart?

We briefly (briefly!) discuss The Blair Witch Project (1999) before getting to a chill hangout and catch-up. Plus, Jason has a very surprising and spooky connection to Blair Witch!
Jason explains the life of a touring musician, how to get played on the radio, and the payola scandal, while Kim discusses a new ambition and options coming up for her.

Welcome to Intro Skippers — the movie podcast hosted by Kim Horcher and Jason Charles Miller, where we deep-dive the streaming entertainment worth skipping the intros for!
In this episode, we discuss Zach Cregger’s highly anticipated follow-up to Barbarian, Weapons (2025). We explore the small features that make this dark, layered thriller so haunting, from its mysterious 2:17 symbolism to hidden Easter eggs, fan theories, and t...
FINALLY. We’re diving deep into Netflix’s animated film Kpop Demon Hunters —K-pop, action, supernatural adventure, and derpy tigers: this movie has it all. We’re unpacking the cultural references, details, and how Sony missed out big time on Rumi, Mira and Zoey’s first movie.

Conan O’Brien got the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at a very, very weird time in history, when the Kennedy Center, free speech, and the concept of comedy are all at major points of flux and controversy. So anyway, the show opens with a m@$turb@ting bear.
Conan is a comedy hero for many reasons to many people, and this special, which won an Emmy, expresses that so many ways over. Kim and Jason break down the balance betwe...
Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE is the Netflix docuseries following the formation of Katseye, the global girl group from HYBE and Geffen. It narrows down thousands of girls, to tens, to the final 6, and it definitely doesn’t want you to call it K-Pop (even though Kpop is a huge compliment and definitely the style they were going for, but we digress).
Did you watch Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE? Did you agree with the audition and show tac...
In this minisode, Kim discusses where she’s been (Asia) and Jason discusses where he’s going (Asia), and a big big announcement from the Tokyo Game Show as it happens! We timed it that way, it’s legit.
Next week we’ll be back with a regularly scheduled episode, but for now, we’re all having a friendly catch up!You can watch us now at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify.

We are sharing our guilty pleasure watches of the summer, but who picked what?! Welcome to Wrexham and the Great American Baking Show both have their roots in both America and Great Britain, and features celebrities doing stuff they wouldn’t normally do, between Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, Zach Cherry, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Paul HOLLYWOOD (whoah, another coincidence).
What do you watch that’s out of character for you? Le...
Sirens on Netflix is a miniseries starring Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton, and more. It’s nominated for awards, but is this ultra-wealthy soapy limited series worth the watch?
Surprisingly, Jason has seen the whole thing and explains it all to Kim, who will decide if it’s something she wants to see! What did you think of Sirens? Would you see it?

Dexter: Resurrection may just be as good as the best Dexter original Showtime series!
This new series features Dexter (Michael C Hall), Batista (David Zayas), Harry (James Remar), Harrison (Jack Alcott), and a KILLER new cast including Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Krysten Ritter, David Dasmalcian, Eric Stonestreet, and Neil Patrick Harris.
Kim is breaking down through Dexter: Resurrection season 1 episode 9 fully (spoilers!...
Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser aka the Netflix Biggest Loser docuseries caused a lot of controversy between subjects like Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels (who didn’t participate), Dr Robert Huizenga, and behind the scenes talent J.D. Roth and David Broome, among many others.
And the documentary itself has received criticism for how it handled, or didn’t handle, sensitive and health related topics.
Our first ever ...
Alien: Earth is out! But how do you solve the problem of…what is an “Alien Earth?” Trailer footage was incredibly hopeful for the FX series based on the iconic work of Ridley Scott and H.R. Giger, but we’re happy to say the Alien Earth TV series is mostly pretty great!
Check out our SPOILER FILLED discussion and erstwhile Alien: Earth review of sorts. What elements worked for you and which didn’t?

King of the Hill is back more than 10 years later! But is it just as good as before??

The final installment of Netflix’s Trainwreck series is out, and oh boy, what an apt name. Travel back to 2019 when a self-described shitposter created an extremely expensive series of events that are still not fully resolved. Everyone walks away feeling…something. Was this a successful series??

Episode 25 is Comic Con ‘25, with news from both this year (even though we didn’t interact once in San Diego) It’s a big catchup in this SDCC minisode!
Kim broke a news exclusive in an interview with Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and breaks down her several days-worth of work reporting the news and interviewing showrunners and stars!
Jason was only in town for 24 hours, but someh...
Opus (2025) starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich is now streaming on HBO Max. Despite not being a critical success in its theatrical run, we think this movie is a good watch, and sometimes, absolutely chilling!
This movie really connected to Kim (who has been in weird situations ostensibly to interview someone famous or important) and Jason less so (as a musician, not a killer cult leader). Is it an A24 film on your list?
Also, li...
It’s a minisode! Jason performed at 'AEW All In Texas' this weekend and tells the tale of that and what it’s like to sing theme music for wrestlers, Final Fantasy, and wrestlers who love Final Fantasy.
Kim has a San Diego Comic Con announcement that is somewhat less exciting than singing a wrestling hype-up song with pyrotechnics and a costumes choir. Somewhat.
Check it out, along with a strangely fun streaming recom...
Rage is maybe too strong a word, because we actually love this show. Yes, it’s boring, slow, has flat characterization, and only superficially handles important topics, but believe it or not, we love it.
What’s your favorite cozy watch? Your slow, easy-to-stomach story? And is it as out of character as ours?
We are also a video podcast! If you weren’t watching before, you can now on Youtube at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
