Episode 354 Snowpiercer S01E01 First, the Weather Changed

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis for the pilot episode of the TNT series Snowpiercer, and our listener feedback. 

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the long awaited TNT addition to the world of Snowpiercer starring Daveed Diggs as Layton and Jennifer Connelly as Melanie, the voice of the train. Wayne mentions initial difficulties divorcing the events of the pilot episode from those of the film, but once that was accomplished, both hosts give “First, The Weather Changed” high marks.

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave binges the first season of The Last Kingdom, and while he’s not ready to pronounce it better than Vikings, it’s at least in the conversation. Wayne goes international with the Netflix drama Fauda, a series that explores the human side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands reminds us that even though he wasn’t able to watch the series opener in time for the podcast, the film piqued his interest.
