Lucifer 603 = 604 “Yabba Dabba Do Me” & “Pin the Tail on the Daddy” 50:13

6d ago50:13

50:13

As season 6 progresses, the Guy sisters have some moments of joy and appreciation and quite a few quibbles for the writers. Though the cartoonified episode is in some ways delightful (Tracie wanted to be an animator when she was a kid), there are moments in the writing that feel either ableist or rushed (or both). The sisters note that it feels par…

Lucifer 601 + 602 “Nothing Ever Changes Around Here” & “Buckets of Baggage” 50:35

13d ago50:35

50:35

And so begins the Guy sisters’ rewatch of Season 6: Nobody’s favorite season. With these two episodes, the sisters spend considerable time lamenting the fact that there are no media role models for people who are childless by choice, including, it seems, Lucifer. We also are perplexed and perturbed by multiple details of these two episodes, from Lu…

1
Lucifer 515 + 516 “Is This Really How It’s Going to End” & “We Could Have Had a Happy Ending” 52:31

20d ago52:31

52:31

These two final episodes of season five pack and emotional wallup. With more than one major character death (though 2 don’t stay dead), the Guy girls both admit to shedding some tears, even in rewatch. The views we get of both Heaven and Hell have Emily and Tracie thinking deeply about the nature of punishment, the compatibility of justice with pai…

1
Lucifer 513 + 514 “A LIttle Harmless Stalking” & “Nothing Lasts Forever” 51:59

27d ago51:59

51:59

“A Little Harmless Stalking” & “Nothing Lasts Forever” are ripe for overthinking, and the Guy girls do. These two stories invite meditations on the reconciliation of adult children and their parents, a scene that has become common in contemporary pop fiction, and which Tracie & Emily dub psychological or family dynamic fiction: art that creates an …

1
Lucifer 511 + 512 "Resting Devil Face" & "Daniel Espinoza: Naked and Afraid" 47:52

1M ago47:52

47:52

“Resting Devil Face” is a delightful romp the sisters want to revisit more often. “Daniel Espinoza: Naked and Afraid” may be both of their least favorite. In “Resting Devil Face,” the celestial siblings’ relationship digs in to the very human experience of realizing one’s parent is vulnerable. In a satisfying dovetailing of the case-of-the-week and…

1
Lucifer 509 + 510 "Family Dinner" & "Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam" 50:25

1M ago50:25

50:25

“Family Dinner” and “Bloody Celestial Karaoke Jam” deliver both some of the funniest and some of the most poignant moments of the whole series. With a general appreciation for the relatableness of so much of what happens between characters in these two episodes and a very specific appreciation for Tom Ellis’ collarbones, the Guy sisters overthink t…

1
Lucifer 507 + 508 “Our Mojo” & “Spoiler Alert” 38:59

2M ago38:59

38:59

On rewatch, the Guy girls were reminded just how much they compartmentalize their memories about these two episodes. “Our Mojo” and “Spoiler Alert” provide delightfully fun and funny moments intermixed with grim details of the serial-killer-right-under-our-noses storyline. The sisters spend time teasing out the phenomenological and metaphorical mec…

1
Lucifer 505 + 506 “Detective Amenadiel” & “Blue Ballz” 41:28

2M ago41:28

41:28

“Detective Amenadiel” and “Blue Ballz” are the only two episodes in this whole experiment that the sisters watched while in the same room, and they contain some of their most beloved and most reviled of the whole series. In their meanderings, the Guy girls think about the metaphor of reflection as used both visually and rhetorically in “Detective A…

1
Lucifer 503 + 504 "¡Diablo!" & "It Never Ends Well for the Chicken" 50:01

2M ago50:01

50:01

The layers of meta-commentary in the episode about a TV show where the actual devil is a consultant with the LAPD is lots of fun, and has the sisters wondering if Lucifer would have been more offended on Chloe’s behalf by turning her character into a stripper-turned-detective who doesn’t seem to be particularly bright. And the return of Lilith in a…

1
Lucifer 501 + 502 "Really Sad Devil Guy" & "Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer!" 42:12

2M ago42:12

42:12

In our conversation about “Really Sad Devil Guy” & “Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer!” we think a lot about the tropes and short cuts that come from soap opera storytelling. And we don’t hate it. Both sisters are impressed with Tom Ellis’s ability to make us believe he is, in fact, his own twin (even down to his butt cheeks!). Tracie picks apart a key plo…

1
Lucifer 409 + 410 "Save Lucifer" & "Who's da New King of Hell?" 45:09

3M ago45:09

45:09

“Save Lucifer” and “Who’s da New King of Hell?” allow the Guy Girls to overthink everything from acting vs. directorial choices, to the nature of sin and guilt, to the possibility of a “happy ending” for an immortal being in love with an all-too-human one. Tracie couldn’t wait to start the episode with her frustrations with Lauren German’s delivery…

1
Lucifer 407 + 408 "Devil Is as Devil Does" & "Super Bad Boyfriend" 47:46

3M ago47:46

47:46

“Devil is as Devil Does” and “Super Bad Boyfriend” give some hints that the writers were wrestling with their copagandistic vehicle. However, there were also moments in these two episodes, especially in Chloe’s voice, that oversimplify the “rightness” of human justice. That they made these explorations around the death of a Black teenager is all th…

1
Lucifer 405 + 406 "Expire Erect" & "Orgy Pants to Work" 50:05

3M ago50:05

50:05

“Expire Erect” (Die Hard, get it?) and “Orgy Pants to Work” turn out to be fantastic fodder for the Guy Girls’ particular brand of overthinking, and we did not hold back. Tracie had some THINGS to say about the mythology of Lilith (Maze’s mom), which led to some questions about who (and how) Lilith even is, and whether or not Lucifer could have bee…

1
Lucifer 403 + 404 "O, Ye of Little Faith, Father" & "All About Eve" 44:23

3M ago44:23

44:23

“O, Ye of Little Faith, Father” and “All About Eve” bring some of Emily’s favorite moments of the whole series. The first provides deeply satisfying dramatic irony through Father Kinley’s (Graham McTavish) web of deception, the whole of which, only we the viewers see. The second gives delicious comfort to a devastated Lucifer (Tom Ellis) who fears …

1
Lucifer 401 + 402 "Everything's Okay" & "Somebody's Been Reading Dante's Inferno" 42:53

3M ago42:53

42:53

“Everything’s Okay” and “Somebody’s Been Reading Dante’s Inferno” contain one of the sexiest scenes in the whole series, some really comprehensible character behavior, and some mediocre delivery of that behavior. The sisters spend a disproportionate amount of time gushing over the first several minutes of “Everything’s Okay,” only to ease into an a…

1
Lucifer 325 + 326 "Boo Normal" & "Once Upon a Time" 43:59

4M ago43:59

43:59

“Boo Normal” & “Once Upon a Time” interrupt the flow of the Deckerstar storyline. These two episodes, though both boasting solid storytelling, tend to get skipped, fast-forwarded, or otherwise maligned by fans who cannot wait to find out what happens after Chloe unequivocally learns the truth in “A Devil of My Word.” Tracie and Emily take some time…

1
Lucifer 323 + 324 "Quintessential Deckerstar" & "A Devil of My Word" 37:30

4M ago37:30

37:30

“Quintessential Deckerstar” & “Devil of My Word” are so packed full of goodness to unpack we had to make notes for our conversation to make sure we didn’t miss anything. When it comes to storytelling, these episodes provide some deeply satisfying (and tear-jerking) character development, especially for Dan (Kevin Alejandro), Charlotte (Tricia Helfe…

Welcome to the Sparkly Society! 3:50

4M ago3:50

3:50

Sparkly is the word I use to describe the unmistakeable shimmer in the eyes and heart of every Lightbringer. Lightbringers are those of us who feel our purpose in this life is to enlighten humanity and combat the forces of fear that work to pull people toward darkness. I believe there is a vast number of us working, all in our own way, to enlighten…

1
Lucifer 321 + 322 "Anything Pierce Can Do I Can Do Better" & "All Hands on Decker" 44:35

4M ago44:35

44:35

When you aren’t binging, “Anything Pierce Can Do I Can Do Better” & “All Hands On Decker,” are painful episodes to watch. Lucifer’s obliviousness is torture to Chloe Decker, who simply wants to be seen and loved. Tracie gets her Toms mixed up, Emily cannot abide the notion of a 20-min delay in Los Angeles, and the incongruous hair texture of actor …

1
Lucifer 319 + 320 "Orange Is the New Maze" & "The Angel of San Bernardino" 41:30

4M ago41:30

41:30

“Orange is the New Maze” and the “Angel of San Bernadino” provide some interesting character development for Maze and some reminders that Lucifer is, in fact, the devil. Emily explores the ADHD-esque behavior of both Lucifer and Maze (hyper-fixation, missing social cues, etc) while Tracie appreciates Lauren German’s acting (for once). In true Guy G…

1
Lucifer 318 + 319 "Let Pinhead Sing" & "The Last Heartbreak" 39:08

5M ago39:08

39:08

“Let Pinhead Sing” & “The Last Heartbreak” make for some satisfying overthinking. Tracie and Emily delve deep into literal and figurative mirroring in the show, the sociological and evolutionary benefit of Tom Ellis’s devastated face, and the need for another character to alert the audience to the so-called romantic chemistry between Pierce (Tom We…

1
Lucifer 315 + 316 "High School Poppycock" & "Infernal Guinea Pig 42:54

5M ago42:54

42:54

“High School Poppycock” and “Infernal Guinea Pig” are fun episodes with some serious overthinking potential. In conversation about “High School Poppycock,” Emily relates her experience unhinging her jaw and swallowing the Twilight series whole. In fact, that brief conversation on Emily’s thoughts about Twilight became the pilot for the Guy Girls’ o…

1
Lucifer 313 + 314 "Til Death Do Us Part" & "My Brother's Keeper" 38:06

5M ago38:06

38:06

“Til Death Do Us Part” and “My Brother’s Keeper” provide some delightful storytelling and some missed opportunities around the world’s first murderer and his relationship with the devil. In the first of these paired episodes, Emily notes the similarities to an X-Files episode where Scully and Mulder pretend to be married in suburbia, and both siste…

1
Lucifer 311 + 312 "A City of Angels?" & "All About Her" 41:28

5M ago41:28

41:28

“City of Angels?” and “All About Her” have us thinking a lot about tv writers’ short cuts and senses of humor. The first, a pre-season-1 prequel, provides some believable and some less-believable canon origins for show staples. On the plus side, we get some mostly-naked scenes of Amenadiel (DB Woodside), but there is no interaction between Lucifer …

1
Lucifer 309 + 310 "The Sinnerman" & "The Sin Bin" 38:38

6M ago38:38

38:38

Tracie and Emily agree that though there is some satisfying humor in “The Sinnerman” and “The Sin Bin,” these are not two episodes that either like to revisit. Not only does the plot in both episodes fail to hang together, but Tracie has a visceral reaction to eye-related injuries, and the sisters struggle with the lack of accountability for Chloe,…

1
Lucifer 307 + 308 "Off the Record" & "Chloe Does Lucifer" 45:29

6M ago45:29

45:29

“Off the Record” and “Chloe Does Lucifer” provide a pattern interrupt, but keep things moving forward in season 3. Emily and Tracie find that “Off the Record” hits some satisfying storytelling notes, including big reveals, dramatic irony, and some meta-commentary about hell loops from within a hell loop. And while “Chloe Does Lucifer” gives us some…

1
Lucifer 305 + 306: "Welcome Back, Charlotte Richards" & "Vegas with Some Radish" 37:27

6M ago37:27

37:27

“Welcome Back, Charlotte Richards” and “Vegas with Some Radish” give us some interesting back story on pre-Goddess Charlotte and card-counting Ella. We also get a nice blend of physical humor and satisfying writing. In the episode 305, We see our writers having their cake and eating it too as they critique the over-sexualization of consumer adverti…

1
Lucifer 303 + 304 "Mr. and Mrs. Mazikeen Smith" & "What Would Lucifer Do?" 28:38

6M ago28:38

28:38

These two episodes serve as a pattern-interrupt and then re-establishment of Lucifer’s dickishness in Season 3. Turns out there were very practical reasons for the pattern interrupt (they were filmed out of sequence) and also some storytelling beats that affected their reception (some of the choices and dialogue in 304 make sense only when looking …

1
Lucifer 301 + 302 "They're Back, Aren't They?" & "The One with the Baby Carrot" 40:47

6M ago40:47

40:47

The first two episodes of many fans’ least favorite season have the Guy Girls meandering on a wide range of topics. We move from some straightforward continuity questions (How is Lucifer able to be sunburned? And how did he not lose Amenadiel’s necklace when he was kidnapped?) to observations about the treatment of faith and hope (Ella humansplains…

1
Lucifer 217 + 218 "Sympathy for the Goddess" & "The Good, the Bad and the Crispy 38:09

7M ago38:09

38:09

These final two episodes of Season 2 have Tracie and Emily taking long walks tangential from the episodes themselves. These include Tracie geeking out over the nature of divinity in the Hebrew scriptures, Emily waxing poetic about the fashion of the 1990s, and both sisters drooling a little over the Morningstar boys. They also spend some time think…

1
Lucifer 215 + 216 "Deceptive Little Parasite" & “God Johnson” 34:51

7M ago34:51

34:51

An episode featuring a murder set in an exclusive private school sets off some OPINIONS from Emily about what really matters in education and the inherent classism built into mom-shaming. She also shares the surprising theory that children are really just three puppies in a trench coat. Meanwhile, an episode in which an emanation of the Divine inha…

1
Lucifer 213 + 214 "A Good Day to Die" & "Candy Morningstar" 35:00

7M ago35:00

35:00

In discussing these two deeply satisfying episodes Tracie and Emily have deep resonance with some plot points as well as moments of downright confusion. The delightfully complicated and not-who-she-seems Candy Morningstar (Lindsey Gort) makes it clear we should never underestimate women just because they fit into a stereotype. This makes the moment…

1
Lucifer 211 + 212 "Stewardess Interruptus" & "Love Handles" 30:12

7M ago30:12

30:12

Sometimes, Tracie and Emily have so much overthinking to impart, they make lists so as not to miss anything. This is one of those times. “Stewardess Interruptus” and “Love Handles” have one of Lucifer and Chloe’s sweetest moments and one of their sexiest. These episodes force characters and audience rearranging mental furniture around Lucifer’s sex…

1
Lucifer 209 + 210 "Homewrecker" & “Quid Pro Ho” 26:16

8M ago26:16

26:16

“Homewrecker” and “Quid Pro Ho” have us thinking about the inherent chaos of the goddess of creation and destruction, and the nature of chaos. How much of chaos is simple messiness, and how much of it is destruction? Or is it something else altogether? We’re also struck by how refreshing it is to see a competent woman on screen just being her badas…

1
Lucifer 207 + 208 "My Little Monkey" and "Trip to Stabby Town" 31:50

8M ago31:50

31:50

“My LIttle Monkey” and “Welcome to Stabby Town” offer both humor and pathos, and have the sisters deep in our feelings. Lucifer continues to flail in these episodes after Dr. Linda’s reaction to his devil face in the last episode. Her reaction, which he reads as rejection, is confirmation of his own self-loathing, which Lucifer himself articulates …

1
Lucifer 205 + 206 "Weaponizer" & “Monster” 31:44

8M ago31:44

31:44

In really good television this season, we meet some new folks and new relationships. The Weaponizer/Body Bag franchises become a pillar of background ideas and images–and the initial basis of Lucifer and Dan enjoying one another’s company. The short arc of Uriel the angel/villain leads to a reflection on what makes a “good” villain, what a fantasti…

1
Lucifer 203 + 204 "Sin-Eater" & "Lady Parts" 37:12

8M ago37:12

37:12

These two episodes of Lucifer prove to be the jumping-off point for intense conversations. Recorded not long after Kyle Rittenhouse (the white teenager who crossed state lines and killed Black Lives Matter protesters) was acquitted, Tracie and Emily are thinking about punishment, justice, and the ways in which inherited paradigms can sometimes obsc…

1
Lucifer 201 + 202 "Everything's Coming Up Lucifer" & "Liar, Liar, Slutty Dress on Fire" 33:48

9M ago33:48

33:48

The first two episodes of season two we meet new, key characters: the Goddess of Creation (in Charlotte Richards’ body) (Tricia Helfer) and Ella Lopez (Aimee Garcia). We also get the first appearance of Lee Garner, a.ka. Mr. Said-Out-Bitch (Jeremiah Birkett). As we dig into these two episodes we go deep into the source material for the notion of a …

1
Lucifer 112 + 113 “#TeamLucifer” & “Take Me Back to Hell” 34:19

9M ago34:19

34:19

In these beautifully paired episodes, we get to relish in the villainy of Malcolm (Kevin Rankin), aka “Detective ‘Stache,” giggle at the caricature of Lucifer the Satanists present (there’s a lot of goat imagery!) even as we feel for the bereaved in the case-of-the-week procedural story-arc. Betrayal is a key theme in these two episodes, with many …

1
Lucifer 110 + 111 "Pops" and "St. Lucifer" 29:30

9M ago29:30

29:30

In episodes 110 + 111, the devil’s ‘daddy issues’ are made much more human, and we get titillating glimpses of naked Lucifer. We commiserate about our shared vulnerability for untrustworthy narrators, especially when they happen to make us say “hominah hominah,” and follow a side thread into the depths of Gehenna (a sort of not-Hell afterlife). The…

1
Lucifer 108 + 109 "Et Tu Doctor?" and "A Priest Walks Into A Bar" 33:49

9M ago33:49

33:49

There's a lot to unpack in two of the most beloved episodes of the Lucifer canon. Lucifer grapples with unfamiliar feelings of jealousy and we posit that his emotional immaturity makes sense from someone who's lived the existence he has. We also appreciate the seemingly authentic connection between Lucifer and Father Frank, and music as the anchor …

1
Lucifer 106 & 107 "Favorite Son" & "Wingman" 38:27

10M ago38:27

38:27

In this conversation about episodes 6 and 7, we talk about the subversion of expectations in making the angel, Amenadiel (DB Woodside) an untrustworthy character. The sisters dig deep into details revealed in these episodes, investigating the meaning of the Hebrew names, and the dos and don’ts when meeting someone who doesn’t resemble their family …

1
Lucifer 104 & 105 "Manly Whatnots" & "Sweet Kicks" 30:11

10M ago30:11

30:11

This week Tracie and Emily discuss episodes 4 and 5 of season 1. In "Manly Whatnots," we see the first instance of Lucifer's physical vulnerability in Chloe’s presence–which happens to follow his first instance of emotional vulnerability with her–while in "Sweet Kicks," we enjoy the unexpected alliance between Amenadiel and Maze. From big thoughts …

1
Lucifer 102 & 103: "Lucifer, Stay, Good Devil" & "The Would-Be Prince of Darkness" 36:56

10M ago36:56

36:56

This week, Tracie and Emily take a look at the second and third episode of season 1. In Lucifer Stay, Good Devil, we learn more about the tragic coda to Chloe’s Hot Tub High School film debut, and in The Would-Be Prince of Darkness, we get some of the very first glimpses of Lucifer’s self-loathing. We also begin to peel back the layers of the show,…

Lucifer Pilot 37:29

10M ago37:29

37:29

In this very first episode, Tracie & Emily discuss their rewatch of the Lucifer pilot. Originally aired in 2016, the pilot is how the world was introduced to the handsome devil, Lucifer (Tom Ellis), and his hard-boiled, reluctant love-interest, Chloe Decker (Lauren German). With attention to details small (Tom Ellis' chest hair) and large (the natu…

Lucifer is more than just an escapist TV show. Join sisters Tracie and Emily, as we unmask the unique allure of this series. Based on Neil Gaiman's comic book, Lucifer offers captivating storytelling, a blend of humor and gravitas, and an intriguing mix of celestial beings and everyday humans. In this teaser episode, learn how each of us fell head-…
