Not Quite Great Books: a TV podcast
TV & Film:TV Reviews
This week, John and Danielle are joined by their first MCU/Americans crossover guest, Lilly Goren! You last heard Lilly on Loki Episode 5 “Journey into Mystery” - now she’s back with your hosts for The Americans Season 2 Episode 9, “Martial Eagle.” This episode has so much going on, so John and Danielle are thrilled to have Lilly help untangle the different plot points. Together, they consider the role of deception throughout the episode - from the opening mission to the base, Paige’s continued obsession with church, and even between Sandi and Stan. They ask about Philip’s own personal journey throughout the series thus far, and contemplate Philip’s comment that this is easier for Elizabeth. In Glas, Lilly points out some powerful classical music cues, and together they consider the interaction between Stan and Gaad. We learn that Oliver North himself helped write this episode, and in the Cave, we get a powerful two-fer: Lilly offers some Nietzsche while John sneaks in some ‘Wages for Housework’. Don’t miss this one!
