    Deli Boys Review: A Hilarious Dark Comedy
    2025/03/29
    In this episode of the Wicked Indulgence podcast, we dive into the world of delis and the new Hulu series "Deli Boys." I, Jessica, along with my co-host Kevin, reminisce about our favorite delis, with a special nod to Jimmy Dean's in Newhall, California, where I enjoyed the best turkey club sandwich and homemade mayonnaise. We also discuss our local deli options, including Titus Donuts and The Butcher Shop in Carmel, before transitioning to our main topic.We were drawn to "Deli Boys" after watching a captivating trailer that features a shocking scene where a character, Auntie Lucky, walks into a deli, reveals a gun, and shoots a man in the head, leading to chaos and comedic moments. Intrigued by this blend of humor and drama, we decided to give the show a try.As we explore the series, we establish a three-episode minimum rule for our reviews, allowing us to fully absorb the show's potential. From the very first episode, we were hooked by its nostalgic 90s aesthetic, clever editing, and engaging storytelling. The show follows the Dar family, particularly the two sons, Raj and Mir, who are thrust into a world of crime after their father, Baba Dar, passes away unexpectedly. Baba Dar, who immigrated to America with just three dollars, built a deli empire that the boys now have to navigate amidst shocking revelations about their father's criminal activities.We discuss the contrasting personalities of the brothers: Raj, the carefree, laid-back son, and Mir, the ambitious overachiever. Their dynamic is further complicated by the introduction of Auntie Lucky, who takes on a maternal role while guiding them through their new reality. The comedic timing and writing are top-notch, making even the most absurd situations, like disposing of a body, entertaining.Throughout the episode, we share our thoughts on the show's production quality, character development, and the balance of humor and drama. We rate the first three episodes an 8 out of 10, expressing excitement for what lies ahead while remaining cautiously optimistic about the show's trajectory.As we delve deeper into the plot, we reveal spoilers, discussing key moments such as the brothers' attempts to take over their father's deli, their encounters with the FBI, and the absurdity of their situation as they try to manage a criminal enterprise while maintaining their privileged lifestyles. The episode is filled with laughter, insightful commentary, and a genuine appreciation for the show's unique blend of genres.Join us as we navigate the chaotic world of "Deli Boys," exploring themes of family, identity, and the unexpected twists that come with inheriting a legacy.

  • Severance Season 2 Finale Review: It Actually Sucked

    Severance Season 2 Finale Review: It Actually Sucked
    2025/03/24

    In this episode of the Wicked Indulgence podcast, we dive deep into the controversial finale of Severance Season 2, comparing it to the infamous ending of Game of Thrones. As your host, Jessica, alongside my co-host Kevin, we explore our mixed feelings about the season's conclusion and the implications it has for the future of the series.

    We kick off the discussion by addressing the disappointment surrounding Severance's finale, particularly how it mirrored the letdown many felt with Game of Thrones. While we acknowledge that Severance has the potential for redemption in a future season, we express our frustration over the predictable and unsatisfying choices made in the last moments of the episode. We reminisce about the excitement and creativity of Season 1, contrasting it with the finale's lack of resolution and character development.

    As we recount our experience watching the finale with friends at a Lumen-themed dinner party, we share the collective shock and dismay that followed the episode's conclusion. We highlight how even our friend, who typically enjoys happy endings, was left feeling frustrated by the choices made in the finale. This leads us to a broader discussion about the importance of character consistency and logical storytelling, which we feel were compromised in both Severance and Game of Thrones.

    We then transition into a spoiler-free review of the episode before diving into the nitty-gritty details. We discuss the cinematography and production quality of Severance, praising its artistic direction while lamenting the storytelling choices that ultimately let us down. The episode opens with Heli's determination to memorize a map left by Irving, setting the stage for the tension that follows.

    Throughout our analysis, we dissect key moments, such as Mark's interactions with his outie and the revelations about Gemma's character. We express our frustration over missed opportunities for character development and the lack of answers to lingering questions from previous episodes. The conversation flows into the bizarre and theatrical elements of the finale, including the strange animatronic statue of Cure and the marching band performance, which we found both amusing and unsettling.

    As we wrap up the episode, we reflect on the overall impact of the finale on our investment in the series. We share our hopes for Season 3, emphasizing the need for coherent storytelling and character arcs that honor the groundwork laid in earlier seasons. Ultimately, we invite our listeners to join us in this passionate discussion, encouraging them to share their thoughts and feelings about the Severance finale and what they hope to see in the future.

Feyre's cleverness shines as she navigates these treacherous waters, ultimately escaping with Lucien and embarking on a journey through the various courts of Prithian.We highlight key moments, such as the battles they face, the alliances they form, and the emotional turmoil experienced by the characters, particularly Feyre and her sisters. The dynamics between Feyre, Tamlin, and Rhys are explored, showcasing the complexities of their relationships and the impact of past traumas.Throughout the episode, we touch on the themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the weight of war, as well as the lighter moments that provide relief amidst the chaos.
