  • Renew The Acolyte vs Bridgerton Season 3 (Deleted Scenes).
    Jul 4 2025

    How can one show get 85,000 Signatures to save the entire show, and another get 75,000 Signatures just to get some deleted scenes put back into a show? In this episode we explore the contrasting fandoms of Disney's 'The Acolyte', and Netflix's 'Bridgerton'.

    This is not yet another "Bash the Acolyte" podcast episode (those are boredom personified), instead we take a look at how quality programming energises a fandom in ways that middling programming does not.

    • 'Bridgerton' (S3 Deleted Scenes) 75,154 Signatures: https://www.change.org/p/netflix-restore-deleted-scenes-bridgerton-s3?utm_source=National-media&utm_campaign=BridgertonS3&utm_content=Entertainment&utm_term=1000+&utm_medium=National-petition

  • Buffy's Worst Episodes Ever. "Even One of the Best Shows Ever had some Real Stinkers in the Mix".
    Feb 19 2025

    Listen & Share the Show: https://www.gonnageek.com/show/on-the-bubble/

    Audience Question: What episodes of Buffy does Josh feel are the worst?

    In this episode Josh dives into Rolling Stone's Worst-to-Best 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' Episodes Ever List: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-ranking-every-episode-worst-to-best-sarah-michelle-gellar-joss-whedon-1234735428/

    Josh's List of Worst Buffy Episodes:

    • Beer Bad - S4E5.
    • Where The Wild Things Are - S4E18.
    • Inca Mummy Girl - S2E4.
    • Teacher’s Pet - S1E4.
    • Retile Boy - S2E5.
    • Him - S7E6.
    • Bad Eggs - S2E12.
    • Never Kill A Boy On A First Date - S1E5.
    • I Robot, You Jane - S1E8.
    • Goodbye Iowa - S4E14.

    Josh's sleeper pick for worst BTVS episode is Into the Woods - S5E10. This was Riley’s goodbye episode was sadly, completely unaffecting. For a break up / goodbye episode that directly impacts our main character (Buffy), we really should’ve felt more for Riley and a lot more for Buffy. I think I’m not alone here in saying that, it was like: “OK, thank the gods that’s over....next”.

  • 'Person of Interest' on CBS, was it being "watched" enough? - #13isnotenough
    Feb 11 2025

    Listen & Share: https://www.gonnageek.com/show/on-the-bubble/

    After 4 season’s ranging from 22 to 23 episodes, 'Person of Interest' fans became aware in the first half of 2015 that CBS had only put in an order for 13 episodes for the show’s upcoming 5th Season. This launched a massive fan effort featuring Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Blogging and Podcasting initiatives to get the show a full season run for Season 5, at minimum. #13isnotenough
