Televisionary

It feels like the first time! We’re back, covering a slew of topics for you. Since we last podded, Peacock has surprisingly wormed its way into one of our hearts. Where did Phoebe Waller-Bridge go, and why is Amazon angry with her? Then, we dive into SNL’s legendary run and hypothesize about its future. Is Keenan Thompson overpaid? Will he replace Lorne Michaels as a showrunner? And who was the best host of the past 10 years? All of this and more on this week’s episode!   Follow us on TikTok and Instagram @televisionarypod 

Dear Listeners…we’re just going to rip the band-aid off–we are taking a break from releasing new episodes. We will be taking a few months to watch some TV shows and compile some research so that we can bring you the kind of high quality podcast that you deserve! Televisionary has been a labor of love from both of us, and is still a passion project that we are dedicated to on top of our “real life” responsibilities. We have some big plans for the next season of the show, and we’re excited to be bringing them to you in the not-too-distant future. Until then, follow us on Instagram and TikTok for all of your Televisionary needs.    FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY ON TIKTOK @televisionarypod https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

It’s Televisionary’s one year anniversary, listeners! Sit back and relax for an extra special retrospective on our podcasting journey. We share our favorite episodes, plenty of behind the scenes details, and address some listener voice memos! Also, you may be looking at this episode title and thinking, wow, I forgot they were in Season 2! And to be honest with you, we didn’t make it very clear for you guys. BUT, as we enter our off-season, we’ll be working diligently to bring you an even better version of this podcast complete with more groundbreaking TV show deep dives, even more up-to-date commentary on current events, and of course more of our witty banter!    Thanks guys for getting us this far!

The Emmy nominations were announced last week, so Cody and Alayna weigh in! Spoiler alert: neither host respects Ozark. They also cover the renewed popularity of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” and Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” after being featured on Stranger Things season 4.

This week, Televisionary welcomes avid listener Gabby Kennedy to the pod to discuss one of her favorite shows, Our Flag Means Death. This HBOMax cult hit is more than just a show about gay pirates–it’s boundary pushing blend of historical fact and over-the-top silliness that imagines a world where queerness simply exists without prejudice. Gabby leads Cody and Alayna through an examination of the historical accuracy of the show and its themes, takes a stab at their favorite characters, and dissects why the show has gained such an ardent and active fanbase.    Check out our TikTok @televisionarypod   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

Are the TV genres that are popping off in 2022 just trends, or are they here to stay? Cody and Alayna discuss three of the fastest growing television genres–westerns, reality shows, and series based on video games–and share their predictions about how long the popularity of these genres will last. Plus, they respond to a listener voice memo about Hey Arnold!    Follow us on TikTok @televisionarypod   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

This week, Cody and Alayna talk about all of the random shows they watched while growing up. Alayna shouts out Heidi Fleiss, recommends the podcast Heidiworld, and takes it back to a place of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Cody tells the tale of waking up at 5:57AM every morning to watch Mama’s Family, questions his teenage love of America’s Next Top Model, and stays neutral on the Disney versus Nickelodeon debate.     Follow us on TikTok @televisionarypod   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

Cody and Alayna respond to the escalating Pride Month marketing tactics of Burger King and Postmates before diving into some of their favorite queer-focused television. They celebrate indie shows like Looking and Betty, touch on the sleeper hit P-Valley, and praise the ever-popular Euphoria and Schitt’s Creek. Plus–a Yellowstone prequel update, speculation about cereal mascots, and more!   Check out our TikTok @televisionarypod   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

Netflix just announced what is perhaps the biggest reality show ever: Squid Game: The Challenge. Though it hopefully won’t reach the Hunger Games-like intensity of the actual Squid Game, it does promise a massive cash prize of $4.56 million–a number that may just entice Cody and Alayna to submit their own audition tapes. Plus, Cody and Alayna get into the weird timing of Netflix’s expansion into mobile gaming, the future of streamer Peacock, and the surprising revitalization of the summer box office!    Follow us on TikTok @televisionarypod for so much bonus content!   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA   FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/   FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

It’s irreverent, it’s depraved, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Cody and Alayna dive into the show’s ability to evade the Cancel Culture Revolution, the scumbag characters they can’t help but love, and what the future holds for the longest-running live-action sitcom. Plus: Top Gun: Maverick’s gay football scene, the baby that Cody made cry, and Alayna’s scum era–all on this week’s Televisionary!   Check out our TikTok @televisionarypod for extra TV content!   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/
