The Apple of Truth: Dirk Gently Podcast

Episode 80: TAOT Lucifer S5E09

November 17th, 2021  |  1 hr 8 mins

As the episode name may suggest, we will be talking about family a lot. Linda gets to meet her child's grandfather, Maze asks God for a soul and gets rejected, Luci gets to hang out with his favourite twin and even more favourite father and we get to go on complainathon about God.
Lucifer closes this episode by dropping a bomb on Chloe and we lovingly reminisce watching that scene in the S5b trailer.

Episode 79: TAOT Lucifer S5E08

November 1st, 2021  |  1 hr 10 mins

What a mid-season finale! We do not agree on Maze, we do agree and feel horribly for Ella, we share our love for Dan and Kevin who directed this episode.
We also judge Ames strongly for being speciest, argue about the whole I Love You business and ponder what actually was Michaels plan in the end.

Episode 78: TAOT Lucifer S5E07

October 20th, 2021  |  1 hr 23 mins

This week we want to invite you to a praise-fest. We praise Maze for her soul searching, Ames for being a good friend, Lucifer for being willing to ask for help or Linda for being a superhuman.
We rant for a bit about Michael and Chloe, chat about motivations and end on The Best Cliffhanger EverTM.

Episode 77: TAOT Lucifer S5E06

October 6th, 2021  |  1 hr 15 mins

Our balls were blue, our hearts were softened and our minds were blown in this multi-layered episode. Join us for multiple praisings of return-director Richard Speight Jr., appreciation of the hunkiest hunks (inside and outside), squeeing over Deckerstar and Lucifer interacting with his nephew, cheering Ella's choice for the dorky journalist and breaking hearts for Dan's revelation under evil Michaels manipulation.

Episode 76: TAOT Lucifer S5E05

September 22nd, 2021  |  1 hr 16 mins

We were thinking, since we now release biweekly, that we might make our episodes a little longer.. And boy did we deliver this time. Get ready for a lot of love for all of our characters, actors and writers.
Chloe is struggling with being a gift, Maze is struggling with abandonment issues and we struggle with keeping it together. So please. Enjoy. Hope you find it as mindblowing as we did.

TAOT Special: Lucifer Season 6

September 17th, 2021  |  1 hr 15 mins

For the third and final time, we get ahead of ourselves and talk about the new and last season of Lucifer: Season 6.
Once again you will hear us talk about all our likes and the few dislikes we had, though this time we go through it episode by episode. Then we have some questions - because of course we do. And as usual, we both wrap up our very own final thoughts on this. We talked so much, there even is a bonus episode for all of our Patrons, should you simply not get enough of this final season of Lucifer ;)

Episode 75: TAOT Lucifer S5E04

September 8th, 2021  |  1 hr 8 mins

This episode did not only have the fandom in two minds about it, but also the two of us were on very different sides once again.
Vero loves a special and really enjoyed this episode while Lina took issue with a lot of things.
Join us for praises of Trixie and Tricia Helfer, appreciation of songs, musings about Lucifer-verse lore, theories about Lucifer as a narrator, comparison of parallel upon parallel, judgement of careless immortals.

Episode 74: TAOT Lucifer S5E03

August 25th, 2021  |  1 hr 15 mins

MORE META STUFF! This week Lucifer finally comes back to Earth to deal with Michael, so not only we get to see the two of them interacting, Lina finally gets her wish of Chloe being fully informed, we debate Ella more, than the actual episode itself and Vero gets to mention her coffee machine again. And let's not forget the case of the week, as we often did throughout the episode!

Episode 73: TAOT Lucifer S5E02

August 11th, 2021  |  1 hr 6 mins

They are doing horrible wonderful things to us!
We complain, we theorize, we worship, we argue - so pretty much business as usual, but it feels more like usual.
Join us for curious side notes, Chloe/Lauren appreciation, complaints about repetitive writing/narratives, worrying about various relationships, praising of Tom Ellis' acting, puns and alliterations, theories about Michael's sexuality, and so much more.

Episode 72: TAOT Lucifer S5E01

July 28th, 2021  |  1 hr 14 mins

HEYO! IT'S SEASON 5! S E A S O N F I V E!!
We're not gonna lie, this is an excelent episode, but it has its issues. They are all worth it for the final twist, and the episode concept. So get comfy and enjoy Lina's conspiracy brain and Vero's complaints about Hell loops.

Episode 71: TAOT Lucifer Summoning E4

July 21st, 2021  |  59 mins 1 sec

Short season - short-ish summoning! It's probably totally unrelated to the fact that we stayed relatively sober this time...

We cover our usual bases:

• There is talk focussing on season 4 content-wise: Best/Worst character development, best pairing, favourite episodesand so on.
• We talk a bit about the music! We compare season 4 to previous seasons and ponder if the cancellation and subsequent being saved by Netflix made it an even better show than it could ever have been at FOX.
• Due to the wonkiness of the timeline and timings in season 4, we also go into quite some detail there. And we obviously close out with the stuff we monitor just like we did for the previous ones. But this time, Lina gets her mind blown! Since season 5 is pretty fresh in our brains, you do not get a spoiler part this time around!

Episode 70: TAOT Lucifer S4E10

July 14th, 2021  |  1 hr 7 mins

THE SEASON FINALE IS HERE!!
Time to figure out why Chloe behaves the way she does, how sexy Lucifer's devil voice is and Lina even tells us her time sharing solution to the whole 'Luci leaving Chloe behind' thing.

Episode 69: TAOT Lucifer S4E09

July 7th, 2021  |  1 hr 7 mins

The spiraling continues into a full body devil transformation, but sadly not the sexy kind even though this is episode 69 for us!
Join us this week for extensive wardrobe commentary (the scarf, Lucifer's outfit, the mask!), exasperated discussions about Ella and her not being appreciated enough, different takes on the whole Eve/Maze dynamic, the now nearly standard praising of Chloe, some (more or less) obvious parallels and so much more!

Episode 68: TAOT Lucifer S4E08

June 30th, 2021  |  1 hr 2 mins

CW/TW! In this episode we touch upon police brutality and racism. If you wish to avoid that bit, it starts at 27:59 and you want to skip ahead 5mins to 32:54.
This week Ames struggles with humans, while Lucifer struggles with break ups, Vero struggles with emotions and Lina struggles to get Vero to cry. In an episode with some real topics, we hope we managed to find some lightness and humour as well.

Episode 67: TAOT Lucifer S4E07

June 23rd, 2021  |  1 hr 7 mins

Lucifer continues his descent into the darkness and we are joining him. Come along as we debate our different expectations for various scenes, argue about Dan, agree about Ella, make random references and praise the writing and directing in this episode.

Episode 66: TAOT Lucifer S4E06

June 16th, 2021  |  1 hr 10 mins

This week we agreed, that episode 6 felt like a mid season finale. We also agreed we didn't like the name... And that is about where our agreement stopped.
Daniel is douchier than ever, Ella doesn't get enough development, but most importantly Vero comes up with a headcanon, which involves Lucifer's mental state. And speaking of Lucifer, he goes proper Dark side in this one.
