WARNING: this episode contains spoilers for later episodes of The Umbrella Academy Season 2! In the first half of another two-parter, Josh and Mia are joined by the wonderful Cesar to discuss their take on The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Episode 9, ‘743’.

WARNING: this episode contains spoilers for the whole of Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy! In this special festive episode, Josh and Mia attempt to explain the plot of last year's one-shot from Dark Horse comics, 'Hazel & Cha Cha Save Christmas: Tales from the Umbrella Academy'. We speculate about how it would look as a Netflix episode, whether a character is based on Gerard Way, and what the ending really means... PLUS we dive into Santa's Sack for some verbal treats from...

Since we recorded this episode, Elliot Page, the actor who plays Vanya Hargreeves, has announced that he is trans, and uses he/they pronouns.

Content note: this episode also contains discussions about homophobia.  Part 2 of our episode on ‘Öga for Öga’ is...

WARNING: this episode may contain spoilers for later episodes of The Umbrella Academy Season 2! We’re releasing this episode in two parts, so you lucky listeners get double the fun for Season 2 Episode 7 of The Umbrella Academy, ‘Öga for Öga’.

But don’t worry, we also talk a lot about Five, The Handler, why Ben is like a weeping angel, and we have a special...

WARNING: this episode contains spoilers for the whole of Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy! Content note: this episode also contains discussions about homophobia and racism. In this episode, Josh and Mia kick things off with the theory Josh formulated about The Handler and the Hargreeves after watching Episode 3 for the first time, and commiserate another measly sparrow spotting. But this episode of The Umbrella Academy also gives us a lot in terms of Lila’s backstory, Dave before Klaus, and...
