Welcome to Wallowing in the Shallows, the podcast that skirts the perilous drop-off of a deep dive into television and movies. We are two friends and academic nerds aspiring to become TV and movie geeks. We draw on our opinions and research to review television and movies, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Shakespeare. We think of it as sitting around the dinner table bs-ing with friends about what we watched that week. Wallowing in the Shallows can be reached at witstvpod@gmail.com.

WITS chats 'The Mandalorian & Grogu' | dir. Jon Favreau | 2026
<p>Rebecca and Tori are joined by Nancy and Jeff to chat their initial thoughts about Jon Favreau's, 'The Mandalorian & Grogu.' We recorded a few days after the movie was released, so we really do wallow in the shallows.

WITS chats 'Good Omens' S3 | dir. Rachel Talalay | 2026
