In episode 5, we get to at least briefly hang out with all of our characters, and especially Amanda with the Rowdy 3 are making Lina very happy. There is some general disagreement about Friedkin, but mostly this was a very chill and fun episode. Disclaimer, we are convinced, that this tv show is happening in California, so please don't yell at us for being so shocked, that Bart is in Seattle. If you do want to write us anyway tho, send your emails to [email protected] . You...

Join us as we ponder the possibilities of Gordon Rimmer's intentions, debate the destinies of our main four and ramble about the ramifications of acts commited in this episode.

WE ARE BACK! After some much needed rest, we are back with vengance AND a new show. We are diving into Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, produced by Netflix in 2016! And because we are still us, this episode will be extremely chunky, because there is much to be discused and introduced. Prepare for new segments, loads of freeze framing and many theories based on Vero's 6 episode binge in the middle of the night, many months ago. Throwing ourselves into a new project brings us a lot...

At the end of the season, we go a bit chaotic (okay, more chaotic than usual) and wrap up everything in our very own way. Welcome to the first Summoning episode for The Sandman.

It is time to finish the extra episode for this season, with "Calliope" and oh myyy we enjoyed this. Join us with a bit of all the emotions, as we agree on many things, except the thirst moment obviously, or certain ways to read a scene, but all in all this was a joy to record. What an amazing end to this season. But it is not the end for our season, next up is the Summoning episode and so do send us your feedback either using the email [email protected] or either of our social...

Be aware: This is only the first part of the bonus episode of season 1, Calliope will be released in two weeks. This will probably also feel quite a bit different than the previous 10 episodes. We started this episode with very different thoughts and feelings but while talking about it, we came to see more and more parallels and metaphors in this and if we had taken them out, the actual coverage would feel incredibly disjointed. So join us for this hour and see how we manage to bring voice...

IT'S FINALE TIME! Strap in, it's a long one! In this episode, we mostly actually agree on things, which was a welcomed surprised, but it also comes to show how well the season ended up working. We debate Dream's development in length, Lina cries over the Corinthian and Vero blows Lina's mind on several occasions. Most importantly, we add many new questions to our ever-growing list. If you, too, would like to add things, thoughts or essays to our podcast, now is your opportunity! We will be...

Once again we did not know how to talk less. Not only because we were seeing very different motivations in various characters, but also because there simply is a lot to talk about in this episode. So join us for some more Corinthian thirst, some Stephen Fry appreciation and some very odd agreements and disagreements between the two of us. The finale is next and thus the Summoning episode is happening soon, so if you have want to share your thoughts with us (or weigh in which one of us it...

In this episode, we learn much new information about Rose, Vero finally stops suspecting Lyta of treason, and Lina brings some extra covert insight, because she had accidentally watched the wrong episode in preparation. Of course we throw in some burning questions and wild theories, because what are we, if not consistent. Speaking of consistency, expect some disagreements, as we continue to read character motivations in very oposite ways! Are you siding with one of us? Please let us know!...

This is a long one, so get some tea (or something stronger) and settle in. There is A LOT of thirsting in this episode, curtesy of more Corinthian screentime, there are quite a few disagreements about various character motivations, there are some funny misunderstandings, there is the usual amount of debating incredibly important sidenotes and after a long time we finally have some language lessons again! And while this might seem long, there was so much more, so if some bits seem a tiny...

The duality of this episode worked really well for us, with essentially two separate stories and two new characters introduced, we had few reasons to complain. That being said, we still found some. However the mutual enjoyment was much more important! We did bring some guesses and hot takes though, so if you want to give us some feedback on those, here's where you can find us: If you have want to share your thoughts with us, please send us an email to [email protected] You can...

Our final John episode and Lina is very sad. But aside from that, we really loved this one! Vero has some interesting feelings about this, Lina is a bit confused, there are some special moments for each of us and despite staying mostly on track, we still managed to go on longer than planned.

As Lina says at one point of this episode, at least one of us liked every part of this episode. Be prepared, be warned, the same points get brought up over and over, and even though there are a few moments of acceptance, this is one of the most divided eps in a good while. So please, let us know who's side you're on, because you better believe we're counting! So please, reach out at [email protected] You can also use either of our social media accounts: Twitter: ...

We're getting into our grove with this one and it is becoming clear: We love the episodes - just very different parts! So listen while Vero keeps cheering for Joanna Constantine and Lina has all the curiousness and understanding for John Cribbs. And yes, we still have some arguments, but most are fun this time :D Enjoy! Support The Apple of Truth: The Sandman Podcast

After Dream finally escapes his prison, he starts a search for his items of power, as Lina searches for ways to excuse The Corinthian, and Vero falls for a new character. We were a lot more in harmony, than last time, but there's still a lot to talk about, so we hope, you enjoy!

New show, who dis? We are venturing into the Dreaming and one of us has never been there! Strap in for probably our longest regular episode yet, where we learn many things about each other and manage to get into arguments about the most random things.

The final episode covers all the rest and of course includes our final thoughts. We realised that we'll probably do it the other way around in the future, when and if we cover the next book/movie or book/show combination. We also realised that we're really enjoying it when only one of us knows stuff and the other does not. So we shall see how and if at all that influences us in the future. But for now strap in to join the good fight and see what wonderfully random tangents we come up with...

A very happy new year to all of you! Remember how Vero said we never shut up? Yeah, she was right. Part Two is obviously not the final part, we barely make it through chapters 5, 6 and 7.

After talking endlessly about Coraline, the movie, we can't move on without getting deep into the book as well. Part One covers the first four chapters. This is the first time Vero has read the story, so be prepared for some wild theories she came up with! Lina is back with her 'this is all in Coraline's head!' and of course, we dive deep into our own childhood, so get ready for some trauma/fun, we have experienced ourselves! Enjoy part 1 of this extravaganza! You can reach us via email...

The final part of our Coraline coverage! And oh myyy are you in for something. We realise we don't dislike a single character in this (how weird), we feel with and for Coraline, we keep praising the Cat, we debate if just maybe the other Mother is simply misunderstood, we theorize about the potential locations of the parents, Lina continues with her great theory that Vero hates and at the very end Vero gets to make some predictions about the Book. Let us know if you watched along with us,...

Spoiler: we did not manage to finish it this round. So enjoy the juicy middle part of our Coraline coverage, where we talked about penis shaped flowers, ponder if the other Mother truly loves Coraline, Lina keeps harping on about her theory, we debate if the other puppets eat, argue about the reasoning of Shakespeare, make up a few solid theories together and find more layers to this than you probably wanted. So, hopefully you will have fun! You can reach us via email at...

Before we get started on the next series, we really wanted to talk about Coraline. Not only because it is an amazing movie, but also because Vero had never seen this one! So strap in for Part One where we manage to cover half an hour of this movie... We have THEORIES, we have OPINIONS and because we are us, we also have TANGENTS. (If you want even more tangents, you need to listen to the bonus stuff). Let us know what your first time experience watching this movie was! In the beginning Lina...
