The Dom and Colin Podcast

Jeff Probst is on an island somewhere and isn't returning our calls so we rang each other to debate what might be in Pandora's Box and which of these youngsters will be elected prom king or queen on finale night, with a few distractions along the way. As always, you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here. Links: Pre-season coverage roundup on Reddit Quack Wabbit's Survivor writeups (Sucks thread)

With eight episodes in the books, Colin is back with Haley Strong, Matt Liguori, and Brian Scally to catch up on the latest drama, pray for Leroy, and talk through how everyone stacks up going forward. Listen below, here, or on iTunes here, and just so you know, everyone talks shit about you whenever you leave the room.

In the first of (hopefully) many podcasts about documentaries, Survivor legend Jonny Fairplay joins Colin to break down Seth Gordon's superb 2007 arcade soap opera The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters. Watch the full movie here, then find the podcast, below, here, or on iTunes here.

Welcome! Everything is fine, other than Dom's takes about Parks & Rec, as Haley Strong joins us to talk through NBC's standout second-year sitcom The Good Place. As always, listen below, here, or on iTunes here. Derek?!

Our Big Brother boycott lasted all of a week before the Omarosa effect drew us (well, Dom) back in and he reached out to pro athlete, Real Housewife, and teen heartthrob Matt Geoghegan (@mattyfresh24) to catch up on a crazy and unique season. Why is this season exceeding all expectations and what does this mean for the regular show? How is Omarosa so dangerous yet so effective? And why is Metta World Peace on an unstoppable charge towards the Big Brother crown? All this and more on this week's show, available below, here, or on iTunes here.

After expanding the Korean game show fandom we've moved onto German scifi thrillers with the new Netflix original Dark. With Colin stuck in the 1980s, Zach Brooks joins Dom for a journey through time to see how Dark compares to other variations on this theme and how well the show holds up before indulging in a fine British German tradition: complaining about the weather. As always you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

In mid-2012 (!), we joined up with Eric Stein stunt double and hot take enthusiast Kos for what became our longest ever show (a high bar for us), a spirited and very, very extended debate over Big Brother player rankings. Now, over five years later, he makes his return alongside Big Brother live feed correspondent-in-chief Taran Armstrong to update those rankings and shatter that record. We discuss the winners and also-rans from the post-BB14 era, with a brief visit to our Canadian cousins, and revisit our arguments from last time before taking another crack at the debate that never dies: is Will or Dan the best of all time (or is it even one of them at all?!). Plus, in what may be a world first, an internet debate comes close to changing someone's mind! As always, you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here. 0:06:00 - The Bottom Tier 0:37:00 - Shapiro Era/pre-BB14 non-winners 1:48:45 - Modern Era/BBCAN/other notables 2:43:15 - Andy Herren 3:02:15 - Derrick Levasseur 3:15:30 - Will Kirby 3:29:00 - Dan Gheesling/GOAT Debate RHAPpy Hour BB Winner Rankings (non-winners)

In the final chapter of our BB7 rewatch series we spend two hours staring at the memory wall offering parting thoughts on the cast, the season, and the Shapiro era as a whole. Listen on the player below, here, or on iTunes here, #ButFirst, as All-Stars comes to a close, the rewatches are just getting started, so to access future episodes and help us decide which seasons to cover next, subscribe on Patreon here.

Our Genius recollections continue as wise guy and apex podcaster Myles Nye, who may have played more games of Food Chain than anyone else, returns to give his take on the second season's opening salvo. We discuss how and why the game plays out so differently with varied groups of people and the strengths and weaknesses in its design after Myles (and his fellow #junghyungs) gets a lesson in how the youth talk these days. As always you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

Just as the HouseGuests are securing their spots in the final four, BB7 is down to the final four TV episodes of the summer and joining us to talk through the endgame is our #1 ho-mance, Mike Bloom. In our penultimate podcast of the season we eulogize Dr. Will and Janelle (FIGURATIVELY), evaluate Boogie's winning game, examine Erika's pivotal role in shaping the outcome and much more on the player below, here, or on iTunes here.

With all of the hype for Season 4 of Black Mirror (there's a lot of buzz around Lenny), it seemed like the perfect time to revisit the seasons that made the show such a hit. Colin's rating was too low to risk podcasting with him, so instead I invited our good friend and futuristic experiment Taran Armstrong to go through our favourite episodes and the show's place in the TV landscape. As always, you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

Everyone's favourite techno-thriller returned to our screens over the holidays to supply its usual festive cheer. With Colin still trapped inside a simulation looking for his perfect match, Amy (@itsamyanne) took his place to discuss the latest season, its place in the series, and just what the DJ did to deserve it. As always, you can listen below, here, or on iTunes here.

Although the endgame is upon us, the action is still hot as ever inside the BB7 house, and joining us to make sure the corresponding takes follow suit is Survivor Historian Paul Asleson. Watch along to see Chilltown develop a more genuine bond with Santa NPH than with anyone in the house all summer, then listen on the player below, here, or on iTunes here.

As an homage to the overarching theme of the year 2017, our final podcast is the trashiest yet as Haley Strong, Matt Liguori, and Brian Scally join Colin to draft the cast of MTV's The Challenge: Vendettas before Tuesday's premiere. Impatient listeners can find the complete results here and purists can listen on the player below, here, or on iTunes here.

As debate rages over the twists and turns (mostly the twists) of the Survivor finale, we look at why this season ended the way it did and the implications for future seasons. How 'deliberate' was Ben's win, and how tainted is the season - and the franchise - by it? With this new final four format for the foreseeable future, how can and should players adapt to it? And, with Chrissy apparently inspiring mothers everywhere, what will it take for one to finally win Survivor? All this and more on this season's final show, available below, here, or on iTunes here.
