Episode 100(!): The Rome Pilot

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! Candi makes her triumphant return to the
podcast to help me celebrate 100 episodes of the podcast! 
In honor of this special occasion, I decided to talk about one of
my absolute favorite series of all time - HBO's Rome.

Candi and I unpack the pilot episode of the series.  I was
delighted that she loved the show so much that she ended up
watching the whole thing! This episode focuses on the pilot only
and I think we make a convincing case as to why you should keep
watching if you are also new to the series.  We'll
definitely be revisiting more of it now that I know Candi loved
it as much as I did.

The episode kicks off with a few reflections on reaching 100 and
then we get into all things Rome.  As with all of our pilot
episode discussions, we reflect on character introductions,
writing choices, what we thought was effectively done, and we
close with the thirst segment.  I also sprinkle in a few
historical tidbits for a little razzle dazzle.

It was such a pleasure to mark this exciting occasion not only by
discussing a show that I love, but it was a great opportunity to
celebrate the amazingly talented Ray Stevens.  His portrayal
of Titus Pullo is truly the heart of this entire
series. 

Many thanks to each and every guest who has given their time to
the podcast.  It was an honor to speak to each and every one
of you.  And thank YOU, listeners, for your support.  I
love you and I appreciate you.

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, we use adult
language, and we have a great time.
