Atypical

I'm David Axel and joining me online is Gary Snow.

Today we're delving into the Rogue Reviews archive and releasing an episode we recorded back in 2022 of the sci-fi miniseries Delete, which aired in 2013 and can still be watched on Prime Video.

Directed by Steve Barron, the story follows a young hacker and a reporter as they slowly discover the world is being taken over by a powerful artificial intelligence.

With the help of an FBI agent, they must race against time to put a stop to this malevolent entity.

which is currently an unpublished episode.

And finally, if you're new here, the first part of our review will be spoiler-free, and any in-depth plot details we do want to talk about will be saved into a spoiler discussion in which we give plenty of warning.

So this was a miniseries you suggested, Gary, when we were looking for some streaming content to review.

There was a time where we were struggling to get to the cinema, so I gave you a list of interesting looking movies and TV series to review.

And I was this cool hype kid.

And my first TV job was a jock on Atypical.

I know! A jock? You're judging me so hard right now.

No, that was not the role that I pinned for you.

Like, you know, guys are getting, like, speared through the chest in that movie.

And it's, like, not really shying away from showing you some gnarly shit.

Like, the beheadings are all kind of crazy, you know.

That's very true.

And I kept checking like, oh, you know, I want to see it eventually.

And then finally Odyssey left 70 millimeter there.

So they have the big screen for a couple showing.

So and it sold out.

Recently, she hosted the Jack and Jill of America, Inc.

Incorporate.

But Brody was like that.

And then you had the same thing.

When you was on Atypical, you wasn't like, yeah, I'm out here, man.

Don't talk to me like that.

And I wanted to bring a TV show which I am obsessed with at the moment.

It's called Atypical.

And I think you said you've heard of it before.

Yeah.

They were good in I Saw the TV Glow.

And if you hadn't seen it, they were also in Atypical.

one of their earliest, I just really enjoyed that this is a space where people can lean into their own identities, like actual lived identities, rather than have to do the binary of I'm playing a girl, I'm playing a boy, like they are non-binary and therefore you've got that.

And it was so androgynous.

Talking about how older slasher films were so problematic.

But if you are open-minded and you love... horror films and you love that you found your identity through some kind of film or series and you just want to be able to film and go hey i'm kind of human then this is the movie for you

Hello, friends and listeners.

You have a brand new episode of Watch Skip Plus.

She was great.

And then recently Netflix's The Abandons.

It's a Western series.

Thoughts on the amazing Gillian Anderson, who, by the way, very feminist very woman-centered she's got her own sort of like uh soda alternative drink and she's consistently talking about the yoni and embrace the vagina the power of the vagina i love jillian what are your thoughts on her

Jack, who was not yet going by that name, had just starred in Gabriel Abrante's film Amelia's Children.

They were, at the time, probably best known for their role in the TV series Atypical.

And I have thought about this interview so many times, um, in the...

God, has it been years? It's been years since I had this conversation with Jack, and in particular, their, um, observational expression about Harry Styles at one point in this conversation has left me laughing out loud to myself many times since 2024.
