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 42: TAOT Lucifer S3E09

    December 30th, 2020  |  1 hr 4 mins

    For the last episode of 2020, we are coming back to the expected metaplot of season 3, The Sinnerman.
    And to say we had opinions is an understatement. We recorded for nearly 4 and half hours, had many exchanges that just couldn't make it in here, so please if you do want to hear this weeks bonus, do join our Patreon on the Believer level.

  • Episode 41: TAOT Lucifer S3E08

    December 23rd, 2020  |  1 hr 1 min

    At some points during this recording, it felt like we watched two very different episodes. At other points, we were reading each others notes without realising. This episode is full of polar opposites, so strap in for a wild ride!

  • Episode 40: TAOT Lucifer S3E07

    December 16th, 2020  |  1 hr 34 secs

    We are on a roll! Another non-meta plot episode that we thoroughly enjoyed and had much to say about!

    Taking a step back all the way to when Lucifer just started working with Chloe, we meet Reese, the soon to be ex-husband of Linda, get to experience Maze in all her season 1 glory, and finally learn a bit more about Linda's background.

    We would not be us if we didn't still find things to disagree upon though, so strap in for some fun times as usual!

    Episode 39: TAOT Lucifer S3E06

    December 9th, 2020  |  1 hr 3 mins

    It has been a while since we had this much to say. From birthday cakes and presents, to Candy appreciation, including Ella backstory demands and wild theories, all the way to deep analysis of cinematography and prop use - this episode really made us happy.

    Episode 38: TAOT Lucifer S3E05

    December 2nd, 2020  |  1 hr 47 secs

    As the episode name suggests, Tricia Helfer is back in a new role! Some random guy drowns in pudding (that definitely does not look like a pool of semen) and Charlotte is back to switch sides and help Luci and Chloe with the investigation.
    We LOVED this episode. We talked about Dan's love for pudding, Chloe and Luci actually working together for change, the unbelievable acting skills of Tom and Tricia... We talk about Lina's love for fine print and Vero investigates Trixie's aging.

    Episode 37: TAOT Lucifer S3E04

    November 25th, 2020  |  1 hr 2 mins

    Apparently if neither of us likes an episode, the resulting recording will be WILD - to put it mildly!
    From our shared hatred of Pierce, to our exasperation with Lucifer all the way over to both of us appreciating Dan and praising the final scene in all its heartbreaking greatness.

    Episode 36: TAOT Lucifer S3E03

    November 18th, 2020  |  1 hr 59 secs

    This week is all about that Maze. We get a 'filler' that ends up being one of our favourite episodes yet. We laugh and cry, rejoice and despair, we come up with a random cosplay.
    To cut this short, if you enjoy us LOVING stuff, this is an episode for you!

  •

    Episode 35: TAOT Lucifer S3E02

    November 11th, 2020  |  58 mins 37 secs

    This was The Episode Of Assumptions. While we managed to not disagree on everything, both of us made all assumptions on character motivations, plot developments and each other. Which lead to curious discussions.

    Episode 34: TAOT Lucifer S3E01

    November 4th, 2020  |  59 mins 42 secs

    Welcome to Season 3 of Lucifer, make yourself comfortable, we're gonna be here a while!
    In the season opener Chloe is being weird, Luci is being typical Luci, Ella is being amazing and Maze isn't even there. We get to meet a new character, Lieutenatnt Pierce and we get to throw a lot of hate in his direction.

  • Episode 33: TAOT Summoning Episode 2

    October 28th, 2020  |  1 hr 18 mins

    It is time for us to summon our opinions on season 2 in general. We talk about character developement, relationships, favourite episodes and songs, we read emails from our listeners and answer some VIQs (very important questions).
    To make this even better, we talk about our weekly polls, Patreon, and end the whole thing trying to figure out, what we remember and what we hope happens in the upcoming season.
    We are sorrynotsorry. Have fun.

  • Episode 32: TAOT Lucifer S2E18

    October 21st, 2020  |  1 hr 4 mins

    Finally. The finale of season 2. WE HAD SO MUCH TO SAY and it was really hard to cut it down to an hour - so please excuse any weird seeming transitions between scenes!

  •

    Episode 31: TAOT Lucifer S2E17

    October 14th, 2020  |  1 hr 6 secs

    The penultimate episode of season 2 gives us jokes, real life references, a convincing undercover performance by Chloe, several disagreements between the two of us and a slightly less intense cliffhanger than we expected.

  •

    Episode 30: TAOT Lucifer S2E16

    October 7th, 2020  |  1 hr 3 mins

    In this father heavy episode we get to hear what are Mother's favourite things about Earth, and we get to speculate what are Ames's. We share a lot of feelings towards Maze and Lina appretiates Chloe's greyness.
    But most importantly we get to debate one of our favourite actors, Timothy Omundson!

    Episode 29: TAOT Lucifer S2E15

    September 30th, 2020  |  59 mins 44 secs

    The best of the forgetable episodes! We really really liked some elements of this one, like the entire Chlaze plotline, but overall we kept forgetting what the case of the week was.
    Tune in to listen to Vero ranting about education system, Lina loving literally everything Maze does, while Lucifer is batteling his emotions and Chloe gets an unexpected inside into Trixie's fears.

  • Episode 28: TAOT Lucifer S1E14

    September 23rd, 2020  |  1 hr 3 mins

    After the epic mid season finale we covered last week, we get a strong comeback from Luci. With a wife. We instantly fell in love with Candy, unlike Chloe. We debate if Mom is starting a redemption arch, and how badly Chloe is taking the whole situation. We wonder if Ames ever thinks for himself and praise Dan for being mature and supporting for once.
    We mention The Heavy Woolies, the band of the co-showrunner Ildy Modrovich. Link to their spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1jBx8OtTfIsonYaK37hbhS and Iink to her tweet https://twitter.com/Ildymojo/status/1155233939146981376?s=20
    There was one youtube only song Lina really liked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNU7eepmTj0&ab_channel=TheObscurities

    Episode 27: TAOT Lucifer S2E13

    September 16th, 2020  |  1 hr 42 secs

    This mid-season (or rather two-thirds season) finale had everything we could ask for and then some. We have so many questions - some get answered. We have so many opinions - on some we even agree! We got distracted so many times - some of that even made it in the regular episode!
