All good things must come to an end…

Jeff and Krissy close the chapter on Power (Book 1) after 5 years of podding. We give our take on the finale, the season, and our thoughts on the legacy of this show. We deconstruct everything from the characters, writers, and everything in between. We try to answer your burning questions: Did they need 5 episodes to end the story? Are we watching the spin-offs? What does a post Power After Hou...

Jeff and Krissy are back to review the penultimate episode of Power! We get the Tate-Centric episode, which meant to show the motives he had to kill Ghost, but this turned into a referendum on the commonly agreed upon uselessness of the Paz episode, clumsy sequencing of the episodes, and whether fans actually care about who shot Ghost anymore. We did get a reminder that Larenz Tate be AC-TING though.

Before this episode, we take a...

Jeff and Krissy Link up to talk all things Paz… even though they aren’t hyped about it. No shade to Elizabeth Rodriguez, who killed the role, but they did her no favors by keeping her in the background for most of the season…so the resulting backlash from fans makes sense.

They discuss how the story moves forward, transition episodes during a finale season, Angela’s gun as the murder weapon, Power Book II to air 8 episodes (??), a...

Jeff and Krissy are back for the final 5 episodes of Power! First, they get into the pitfalls of cybersecurity and why two-factor authentication should be a mantra for all social media users.

We get the background and motivation for the current Dre we know and loathe. The construction of the episode as the ...

We have reached the “mid-season” finale… and needless to say we are FED UP! While this episode has its moments, there’s too many plot holes and inconsistencies to ignore. We explore every suspects motive in the #WhoShotGhost mystery, while deconstructing how some of these choices make NO sense, while others are justified. Not to mention…a contrived copycat cliffhanger! The fans were VOCAL in their disapproval, and it showed in som...

What a way to end an episode!

In the latest edition of #PowerAfterHours, we discuss the shocking death this episode (and how one of my favorite power memes came true), Saxe’s white privilege Starman finally running out, Tate’s campaign looking funny, The two-week gap between Power episodes and what the midseason finale #reallymeans, Tasha teaching narcotics 1o1 to Tariq, and how this all is leading to a bloody conclusion.

Listener...

Tariq finally gets put in his place by multiple folks and the Internet rejoices! This week, we discuss the multiple ways the parent figures in Tariq’s bad ass life give him a dose of reality. Living in a fantasy world (Ghost), vs. Reality (Tasha, Tommy, Everyone else but Ghost), Saxe’s white privilege power finally running out on him, Tate writing checks his d*ck has to cash, and Tasha’s motherly decision that inspires debate amon...

If you had 24 hours to scam just think…

This is the question Ghost and Tommy ponder as they try to raise $2 Milly in 24 hours to free Tariq. Inside Man confirms that this is Tariq’s scheme, and everything as expected, goes to hell.
