In the very special Season 1 finale of Televisionary, Cody and Alayna share the first episode they ever recorded with you--Survivor! This childhood favorite of both hosts also happens to be one of the most influential shows of the 21st century. They take you through some of the show’s key moments (Richard Hatch in the nude, anyone?) and broaden the conversation to touch on reality show law, the “realness” of reality TV, and the response of reality TV to the darkness of actual reality.

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

Cody and Alayna finally talk about the one thing everyone wants to hear them talk about: the weather. Alayna shares a strange dream about cremation, and then Cody talks about Happy Endings, a three-season gem that centers on a group of friends (and is actually funny). Breaking the rules a bit, Alayna talks about the Kanye West short film Runaway, which somehow prompts a discussion about the new Kacey Musgraves album?

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!

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!
