Dreadful Thoughts: A Penny Dreadful Podcast

Listeners, the world has been filled with much turmoil since we last recorded.  Namely of course, Penny Dreadful got abruptly canceled and is now dead like so many dicks.  We're sorry for taking so long to release this episode, as our lives came crashing together and then apart.  That combined with the emotional shattering of the show ending left us all very tender, and it took a while for us to properly arrange our thoughts.  So our last episode covers the last three episodes of Penny Dreadful, while we all get wine drunk and rage about our emotions and issues with the ending. We want to thank all of our wonderful listeners who supported us over the last 2 years, you guys made the show so much fun to do.  We also want to thank everybody who made Penny Dreadful, the show that burned so bright and so fast.  Dreadful Thoughts will die as it lived, yelling about who should bang who, into the microphone. No but really, we have a new show in the works and you'll love it.  Listen to the episode for details. Your ho

On this episode of Penny Dreadful, we see some things that collective make us all let out the sails and sail out to sea in our "ship" ship. Our lovely Lyle comes back, only to break our hearts, Vanessa gets a new lady friend that we swoon over, and Ethan finishes dying his Edgelord hair black and sits down for what might be the most awkward family dinner. We also get into Dorian and Lily's prostitute army and how Justine isn't just lusty for blood, she's down right cray. This week we are joined by hosts Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), Nika Howard (@nika_howard), and you guys asked and she is back!-Kym Stonick (@kymcattys).

Listeners, if you had started to appreciate the academic and grown up vibe that we've been getting into this season then we are sorry (not sorry) for ruining it this episode.  Steph returns along with special guest Kym Stonick to spend an awful lot of time talking about cave fucking.  We also discuss how Rusk keeps his arm polished, Frekyll being dicks to each other, and manage to fit in some good discussion about this...questionable episode.

Welcome little scorpions to our padded room, where we invite you to join us as we scratch and weave our way through Episode 4 of Penny Dreadful's third season, titled "A Blade of Grass". In this episode we take a very intimate mental journey through Vanessa's hypnotic state and find ourselves locked away in the institution. We find out the true extent of Vanessa's past and how it entwines with Caliban and his human life. This week we also get very insightful and discuss a lot about life and death, good and evil.

Little scorpions we are here to bring you our discussion of Penny Dreadful's third episode this season, "Good and Evil Braided Be". In this episode we see Ethan and Hecate traveling through the desert and having deep conversations about good and evil. Malcolm and Kaetaney make up the distance between them and Ethan and discuss if Ethan can still be saved. Meanwhile in jolly ole London, Vanessa and Dr. Seward have a breakthrough and we learn a tasty secret from a person in Vanessa's past. Victor and Jekyll make a plan to become mad scientist partners, Caliban discovers his past, and Dorian, Lilly, and Justine start to wage war. There was a lot in this episode and your hosts, Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo) and Nika Howard (@Nika_Howard) take you through fun house and bathe you in blood.

Welcome little scorpions to the second episode of this season of Penny Dreadful. In this episode, titled "Predators Near and Far", we see what a Victorian dates with Ives and Dr. Sweet is like and what "getting coffee really means". Then we travel to Africa and meet up with Sir Malcolm and learn of how much he enjoys boats and get a treat sized bite of Ethan and Kaetenay's history through a drug induced dream sequence. And to top it all off we follow Renfield and find out a very sweet reveal! So grab your gravy boats, rejoice because the bells have stopped ringing for Tennyson, and get to listening!   Your hosts are Ashleigh Shadowbrook (@ShadowbrookAsh), Nika Howard (@nika_howard), Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), and Steph Kingston (@StephOKingston).

The day we've all (well maybe except Lord Tennyson) been waiting for has finally arrived! Season 3 is here and boy oh boy did it come in firing on all cylinders. Ives is in Murray Manor doing her best impression of an early 2000's emo teen, Sir Malcolm is in Africa, Ethan is in chains on a train, and Frankenstein has reunited with an old friend. If all of that weren't fantastic enough this episode also drops a huuuuge bombshell as it cuts to black. Daddy issues, stuffed animals and brigands abound and we're excited to talk about it with our special guest host. What are you still reading for, go listen. Or you could get your teeth fixed.    Your hosts are Ashleigh Shadowbrook (@ShadowbrookAsh), Nika Howard (@nika_howard), Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), and Steph Kingston (@StephOKingston). @Dreadthoughts on Twitter www.dreadful-thoughts-podcast.tumblr.com www.facebook.com/DreadfulThoughts @dreadthoughtspod on Instagram dreadfulthoughtspodcast@gmail.com

It's that time again, and with less than a week before the premiere (unless you checked it out online early) we thought we'd take one more crack at predictions for Season 3.

Our demonic daddy Lucifer has blessed us with not one, not two, but three new trailers for Penny Dreadful's third season.  Naturally we had to dissect them like Victor going at a hot corpse.  We theorize what Dorian and Lily are up to, why is Ives in an asylum again, and discuss the return of vampires.

After clearing the horrific questions of Yahoo Answers from our brains, Steph returned and Nika fucked off so we figured it was a good time to discuss season 3!  We discuss casting, locations, character theories, and literary references.  Important to note: when we recorded the episode the casting for Ethan's dad hadn't yet been released.  We also discuss GeeklyCon 2016, and what a rip roaring good time it's going to be.  Make sure to get your tickets at www.geeklycon.com Your hosts are Ashleigh Shadowbrook (@ShadowbrookAsh), Brad Brockway (@bsquared_yo), and Steph Kingston (@StephOKingston). @Dreadthoughts on Twitter www.dreadful-thoughts-podcast.tumblr.com www.facebook.com/DreadfulThoughts @dreadthoughtspod on Instagram dreadfulthoughtspodcast@gmail.com

For this offseason episode, we decided to delve in to the depths of insanity that is fan fiction! Steph is off nomming on a Vegemite sandwich in Australia so we also decided to take the time to see if we could answer the hard hitting Penny Dreadful questions over at Yahoo Answers.
