AlibiCast

Thank you so much for this lovely message, @katemacetak! I’m so glad you got such enjoyment out of the podcast. We definitely have some ideas about potential new podcasts in the future, and we’ll definitely announce here and on our twitter when we are ready for that. And yes, I’d love to do some random eps on the AlibiCast feed in the meantime about other shows and something about the new season of Good Girls would be fun. Keep an eye out! — Holly (I wanted to find a Rio gif for this and this one seemed weirdly perfect 😂)

I know we keep saying we're going to quit Shameless but it might stick this time. At the top of this episode, we chat about how the show isn't bringing us enough joy to keep doing regular coverage of it. We're not promising we'll never record again, but we are suspending regular recording for now. All past episodes will continue to be available. But this ep does contain one last episode analysis for you, on 10.5 "Sparky", which I think is important in understanding why we're so frustrated with the show. Thanks for all the fish!

Its the fourth episode of season 10 and we really didn't like much about this episode. Liam's ruining nice people for no reason, Debbie continues to be Frank Junior and Lip is treading water for an entire episode and Holly, Melissa, Serrae and V are here to chat about it.

Season 10 of Shameless is starting to pick up speed with episode 3, and we're already tired of Debbie. Holly, Melissa and Serrae are discussing Carl's gross boss, Liam's new relatives and, of course, Ian and Mickey's efforts to define their relationship as Ian's parole becomes a possibility.

Its the second episode of season 10 and we still hate Frank and Mikey! Luckily for us, there's some great Lip and Gallavich content to go with it. Holly, Serrae and Melissa discuss the problems with Frank, being disgusted by mayo now and much more!

Its the season 10 premiere! Holly, Serrae, and Melissa are chatting about "We Few, We Lucky Few, We Band of Gallaghers." Lip's having a baby, Carl is getting out of military school, Debbie is controlling the money, Liam is learning about Frederick Douglass, and we mostly have questions about chafing. 

Its almost time for Season 10! Holly, Serrae and Melissa got together to discuss where we left off in season 9 and what things we hope to see in season 10. There's some chatter about things we've seen in promo photos or trailers, but no spoilers!

The Shameless hiatus still has a couple months to go, but we're back with an episode to talk about the season 10 trailer that was released and some of the season 10 casting, along with our thoughts on the second season of a show we've talked about before, Netflix's Elite. Lots of spoilers for Elite here, so don't listen until after you've seen season two.

Shameless chat is up front, Elite discussion starts at about the 15 minute mark.

Its another bonus episode to get us through hiatus, as we got together with special guest, Carrie Raisler, to discuss the Netflix YA drama, The Society. This 10 episode show centers on a group of teenagers who are mysteriously transported to a version of their hometown where they are the only residents and they cannot escape. Instead, they must figure out how to survive and organize. Our initial discussion is spoiler free and we transition to spoiler filled discussion around the 27th minute mark.

As Shameless hiatus chugs along, we wanted to get together and talk about a show we're loving right now that might fill that Shameless hole in your heart until season 10: Good Girls. Just like Shameless, this NBC show mixes comedy and drama and might have you rooting for criminals. It follows the path of three moms in Detroit who break bad in order to take care of their families.

Its a special hiatus ep to cover breaking Shameless news! Holly, Melissa and Serrae got together to talk about Noel Fisher coming back to the show for season 10 and what that might look like and how we feel about it. We also talk a bit about the fake hack that Showtime used to announce it and also about Cameron Monaghan getting cast in a Star Wars video game.

Its the last podcast of season 9! We're covering the events of the last three episodes of the season: Debbie and Carl are in conflict over a girl, Lip might become a dad, Liam is ready to move out and Fiona is deciding where her future lies. Mostly, we just like Tami and Brad.

This week, we're chatting about two episodes of Shameless season 9: "Los Diablos" and "The Hobo Games." We're marching ever closer to the season finale, but the various plotlines are all pretty much a mess, as Fiona continues to spiral, Debbie and Carl develop a rivalry that your hosts hate, and Lip just has too many children to deal with.

This week the whole crew is back to discuss episode 9.9 "BOOOOOOOOOOOONE." We think we should be forgiven for thinking it meant "Bone" instead of "Boone." First up, we're talking about the season 10 renewal and associated news and then its on to the episode. We're still not fans of Lip's love life, we're never happy about Frank, and Kelly remains perfect.

Shameless is back from their first ever midseason hiatus and so are we! Melissa, Vee, and Holly are chatting about "The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Alibi." We've got complaints about pretty much everything except Carl and Kelly, who remain the best thing this season has going for it.

We've reached the midpoint of the midseason hiatus! After taking some time away to recover from losing an entire recording, we're back to re-discuss 9.7 "Down Like the Titanic." Its a classic Fiona spiral, y'all! Plus Lip's terrible love interest is back, we've got issues with Kevin and Kelly should stay forever.

In this new episode of the pod, we're chatting about "Face It, You're Gorgeous." Fiona's financial house of cards is falling down, Ford heel turns, Courtney Cox visits the Gallaghers and Frank chases Katey Sagal. And its time for the first Gallagher to leave our screens and the South Side, as we say goodbye to Ian and his Doug Ross.
