Televisionary

Dear Listeners…we’re just going to rip the band-aid off–we are taking a break from releasing new episodes. We will be taking a few months to watch some TV shows and compile some research so that we can bring you the kind of high quality podcast that you deserve! Televisionary has been a labor of love from both of us, and is still a passion project that we are dedicated to on top of our “real life” responsibilities. We have some big plans for the next season of the show, and we’re excited to be bringing them to you in the not-too-distant future. Until then, follow us on Instagram and TikTok for all of your Televisionary needs.    FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY ON TIKTOK @televisionarypod https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

BUT, as we enter our off-season, we’ll be working diligently to bring you an even better version of this podcast complete with more groundbreaking TV show deep dives, even more up-to-date commentary on current events, and of course more of our witty banter!    Thanks guys for getting us this far!

This week, Televisionary welcomes avid listener Gabby Kennedy to the pod to discuss one of her favorite shows, Our Flag Means Death. This HBOMax cult hit is more than just a show about gay pirates–it’s boundary pushing blend of historical fact and over-the-top silliness that imagines a world where queerness simply exists without prejudice. Gabby leads Cody and Alayna through an examination of the historical accuracy of the show and its themes, takes a stab at their favorite characters, and dissects why the show has gained such an ardent and active fanbase.    Check out our TikTok @televisionarypod   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

Dear listeners, we’re finally revealing the TV shows that we cannot STAND. Cody hulks out in his hatred for Friends, while I reveal my personal vendetta against those who have forced me to watch Impractical Jokers. We bond over our shared hatred of CSI-like procedurals, disagree on Maury, throw it back to the Lawrence Welk Show (and the strange SNL sketch it inspired that has haunted me for years), and critique the eyebrow comedy of Steve Harvey on Family Feud. Then, Cody takes us to church with an unforgettable roast of the ladies of The Talk.  - Alayna   WATCH TODAY'S MINISODE   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA   FOLLOW US ON TIKTOK   @televisionarypod   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY   https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/

It’s Sex and the City Part 2, and this week Cody and Alayna are diving deep into cultural legacy of this show.

In this episode, Cody shares his hatred of the awkwardly titled American Horror Stories (and Alayna makes it clear she doesn’t know how to spell “stories”). Then in true minisode fashion, the two discuss their shows of the week. Alayna talks all about The Great, a miniseries-turned-regular-series loosely based on the life of Catherine the Great. Cody praises Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a musical comedy series that tackles mental illness in a way never done before on television. Then...a shocking revelation you’ll have to listen to find out!   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY   https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA FOLLOW ALAYNA   https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/ FOLLOW CODY   https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/

American Horror Story popularized the anthology series format and made the miniseries cool for maybe the first time ever. It also brought horror to television screens in a way that hadn’t ever been seen before, with a diverse cast of characters that broke stereotypes of what a horror hero looks like. The show challenged standards of what was acceptable to show on TV (as Cody says, “It’s a total butt-fest.”) while also paying homage to long-standing horror traditions in it’s gimmicky marketing.    Learn about all of this and more in this week’s episode of Televisionary!   FOLLOW TELEVISIONARY   https://www.instagram.com/televisionarypodcast/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5iqK4n7fNvy6BqeV5JDWLA     FOLLOW ALAYNA   https://www.instagram.com/alaynah12/     FOLLOW CODY   https://www.instagram.com/thecodyhoffman/
