This week, we’re diving into two political thrillers that hit way harder in 2025 than they did when they first dropped: The Hunt (Hulu/Peacock) + V for Vendetta (VOD).
Before that, we kick things off with some quick spoiler-free thoughts about two new HBOMax series: It: Welcome to Derry, the long-awaited Pennywise prequel, and The Chair Company, a dark satire that’s already making waves (0:07).
Next, we dive into The Hunt (19:03), followed by V for Vendetta (01:31:43) — two very different takes on paranoia, propaganda, and power that somehow feel more relevant than ever.
We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (02:15:05).
In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about The Hunt and V for Vendetta and don't forget to like & subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!
