Dan : On this episode we discuss Serenity
Elliott : Based on the hit show Firefly
Dan : No not that one
Elliott : Oh wait what is–wait what did we watch?

Official Show Notes[]

We discuss something that’s been on our want list for a while: the genre-hopping bonkers twist-em-up, Serenity. And to do so, we are joined by the delightful Jenny Jaffe, whose attachment to this film can surely be described as “healthy.” Meanwhile Stuart explains costume-care in the stripper industry, Elliott introduces his new hit character “Crawdaddy,” and Dan’s reaction to the film is a real twist ending!

A fishing boat captain juggles facing his mysterious past and finding himself ensnared in a reality where nothing is what it seems.

Baker Dill is a fishing boat captain who leads tours off of the tranquil enclave of Plymouth Island. His peaceful life is soon shattered when his ex-wife Karen tracks him down. Desperate for help, Karen begs Baker to save her–and their young son–from her abusive husband. She wants him to take the brute out for a fishing excursion–then throw him overboard to the sharks.
