About the show
The Apple of Truth is a bi-weekly podcast that covers every episode of Dirk Gently, where we try to figure out the web of sexy coinci-dink and learn how everything and nothing is connected.
Beware! There will be swearing, poking fun at religion, general overabundance of fangirling and probably pointless discussions, but since we have shitloads of fun with this, we hope you can laugh with us.

Episode 88: TAOT Lucifer Summoning E5
March 9th, 2022 | 2 hrs 5 mins
We did it, we broke the two hour mark. Woohooo.
We cover our usual bases with most/least character development, favourite relationship, top3 for episodes and songs, music stats, general thoughts on the season, our questions for season 6, going through the stuff we monitor and of course talking at length about the feedback and questions we received.
THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6 from timestamp 1:53:34 all the way to the end, so please make sure you turn off the episode if you do not want to get spoiled!
Enjoy our enjoyment, there is no other way of putting that! -
Episode 87: TAOT Lucifer S5E16
February 23rd, 2022 | 1 hr 15 mins
This is it. The finale. We had so many emotions, we were confused, we were delighted and we could not stop talking.
Strap in for some random references and totally obvious parallels to other shows - Supernatural, Buffy, She-Ra, the Good Place and even Hannibal make an apperance this time around. Lina as per usual still found some things to complain about, but all in all we were both incredibly happy with this finale and cannot wait to get into season 6 with you all. -
Episode 86: TAOT Lucifer S5E15
February 9th, 2022 | 1 hr 2 mins
The sad episode. The painful episode. The episode of hurt. All of these apply here, so even though there are many things we really liked, we were in a world of pain for most of this recording. Join us in counting and reviewing the speeches and complaining about the pain.

Episode 85: TAOT Lucifer S5E14
January 26th, 2022 | 1 hr 15 mins
We had.. opinions. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, arguments and debates. We praise Chloe and then disagree on her actions (also Vero fixes a huge issue for Lina with a revelation), we feel for Ella and then disagree on "the Darkness", we rejoice at Mom's return and then get into a debate about leaving your kids behind.

Episode 84: TAOT Lucifer S4E13
January 12th, 2022 | 1 hr 25 mins
This episode may not be Lina's favourite, but that doesn't mean we don't have many words to say about it. We share opinions on Linda's situation, on why should Lucifer approach her differently, and much more. But it's not all bad in our TAOT land. We get to share our love for Maze and her development and Dan and Ames being best bros again is definitely bringing a smile to our faces.

Episode 83: TAOT Lucifer S5E12
December 29th, 2021 | 1 hr 9 mins
Welcome to Lina's favourite episode of Lucifer (so far).
Join us for approximately 500 callbacks, count concussions with us, debate the tiniest details of Operation Payback Dan, see the several moments Dan should have realised this was a setup and most importantly share the love we have for Dan and this episode. -
Episode 82: TAOT Lucifer S5E11
December 15th, 2021 | 1 hr 9 mins
Join us in finding new and better reasons to hate Dad! And we found a whole bunch. We talk about parental issues and try to figure out why we feel a little unhappy about this specific episode. There is singing, there is complaining, there is loving, there is hating. THERE IS EVERYTHING!

Episode 81: TAOT Lucifer S5E10
December 1st, 2021 | 1 hr 12 mins
We have reached the musical episode and we are not sorry to say, we might have done our own fair share of breaking into song.
Aside from torturing your ears more than usual, we have so much behind the scenes info on this one (did you know there was a song that did not make it into the episode?), we debate strongly various points of this episode (is Wicked Game even part of the Musical or just Lucifer singing?), rage some more against Dad (no surprise there), agree on some points, agree to disagree on quite a few more points, create our own headcanon and all in all have an amazing time with this episode. -
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!
