And just like that, Peak Show Season 1 has come to a conclusion! Bree and some of the guests from the past year reunite virtually to discuss the year that was, the highlights from their episodes, what their favourite media events of the year was and what they’re looking forward to next year. Plus, Sam wants Jarrod to be his dad and Bree to be his… stepmom?

Take a look at podcast, audience! Bree is joined by her two swell pals Liz (@yanoforsure) and Mike (@bymikestephens) to discuss the incredibly high peaks and unfortunately low and kind of depressing valleys of the millennial staple Arrested Development. Is the show harder to enjoy with the Tambor of it all? Did the show get away with punching down a lot? How adorable and punchable is Michael Cera? And, is Jessica Walter the most gif-able performer of all time?

Bree is joined by her friend, podcast hobbyist/sandwich lobbyist/author Kyle Martinak (@kylemartinak) to discuss the portfolio of comedy juggernaut Judd Apatow. Did Katherine Heigl have a point about his movies and the gender of it all? Was working with the same actors over and over limiting, or did it create magic? Did he seriously not have anything to do with I Love You Man and we’re all just nuts? Plus, we answer the question nobody asked: Undeclared, or Freaks and Geeks? Buy Kyle’s...

Bree and Armchair Reactions co-host Gowsh (@GowshiganS) put on their bright white sneakers and take a trip back to NBC’s powerhouse Thursday nights in the 90’s with a look back at Seinfeld. There’s some clashing over their lasting impression of Season 4 and the NBC plot, discuss the meta-tragedy of Susan, reflect on how Michael Richards’ outright racism affects the Kramer character, unveil a sort-of-secret connection to the 00’s comedy romp Eurotrip and try to envision a version of Jerry and...

Bree and her birthday twin, journalist and editor Annie Grandlund (@anniegranlund) outline their high school fave, America’s Next Top Model as they discuss Tyra’s personality, traumatizing contestants, the difference between a fun bitch and a tragic bitch, the gimmicks and more. We talk about what made the series go sour (was it the show, or the industry?) and what kind of legacy Top Model has left in its wake.

Bree and producer/photographer Sam Brooks (@samuelgbrooks) crack open a cold one around the (virtual) campfire to discuss known good dudes and uber-millennial Hamiltonian scamps, (the) Arkells. We dive into the band’s evolution from college rockers to stadium fillers, the odes to southern Ontario, the difference Tony made in the band and whether the band is in dad-rock territory. We also talk extensively about Hamilton, shitmalls and Kyle Dubas, and somehow (we swear) it’s all relevant.

Bree chats with Twitter Canada head of comms Cam Gordon (@cam_gordon) about the prolific, influential and seemingly contemptuous toward their own fame, Radiohead. We discuss the musical influences of Radiohead, whether or not they evolved enough between In Rainbows and King of Limbs, the band’s relationship to the capitalist hellfire of the music industry and more. As a Gen X-er, Cam can verify what a live Radiohead show in the 90s was like. However, he can’t get you verified.

Entertainment journalist and author Frederick Blichert (@FABlichert) joins Bree for the long-anticipated Scream takedown. The highly meta franchise re-ignited the teen slasher genre in the 90’s before being derailed by real late-90’s mass tragedies – and then kinda-sorta coming back. When could Scream have stopped? When should it have stopped? Which characters should have survived? What, as a society, made us so obsessed with these movies? Fred discusses how the “survivor” aspect of Scream...

Bree and screenwriter/performer Kristy LaPointe (@kristylapointe) grab some JJ’s waffles and discuss the highs and lows of Parks and Recreation. Kristy brings her perspective as a comedy writer to discuss the places where Parks & Rec came up short, but also the ways that it comforted us throughout the years. We look at the positives – like the amazingly weird supporting characters – and the negatives – like this show’s seriously weird issues with fat people. Join us as we search through...

Bree and podcaster/hockey fan Kelsey Goldman (@kelseyrebecca) discuss the highs and lows of the Mighty Ducks trilogy and the recent live-action follow-up series. Does D2 undermine the underdogs premise? Would D3 have worked better as a Disney Channel movie? Has Aaron Lohr had the best post-Ducks life? Would Emilio Estivez have been Zdeno Chára’s snack? Plus, there’s a loooooot of naive, pre-draft, pre-free agency talk about hockey. You’ve been warned.

Peak Show’s Simpsons supermonth comes to a close with insight from return guest, YouTube pop culture and political essayist José! Bree and José put on their brave faces as they dissect the humour of the 20-something era of episodes, discuss the downfall of Itchy and Scratchy and get deep about Flanderization. Plus, there’s some singing.

The Simpsons super-month continues! Bree and Jason Edwards (@somethingfell) of Ruin My Life dive into the unpleasant turn of The Simpsons — the Scully years — and try to reconcile their fandom with the show while finding its peak.

The first of Bree’s three-episode Simpsons supermonth is here! Bree and Ottawa-based digital journalist Ted Raymond (@TedFriendlyGuy) begin to break down the buildup and the tipping point of The Simpsons. They discuss the effects that different showrunners had on the characters, the Futurama brain-drain and how Frinkiak changed everything. Next episode, Bree digs a little deeper with Jason Edwards!

Bree chats with Toronto-based audio engineer and music industry professional Luke Leveille (@lukeveille on Instagram) in this special episode devoted to finding the peak of Canadian indie rock and pop. We discuss the way Canadian broadcasters left musical acts hanging out to dry, how Spotify changed the game in all the wrong ways, the Junos’ tokenization of hip-hop and Black artists, venue closures and, of course, Scott Pilgrim. This show has a companion playlist! Listen to all the acts we...

Bree & Mynt break down the totally legitimate psychology of what made these films — and the whole torture porn genre — so popular.

Noted millennials Bree and Maggie dissect the perennially popular series The Office to determine the exact moment when the show could have (and should have) ended.

Bree and her hockey pal Liz, sit down to talk about their other big passion: dance (dance, dance, dance).

Bree sits down with known outrageous dude Mike Stephens to debate the peak of Mike Judge’s long-running phenomenon King of the Hill.

Bree is joined by YouTube political and pop culture essayist José to locate the peak of the underrated family sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle.
