Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the guys are currently watching, commentary and analysis for this week’s episode of the BBC production Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, and our listener feedback. 

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we discuss the Jonathan’s stay in Venice and his desire to employ his own madness as a means to make a connection with a fairy. Norrell’s feelings about Jonathan’s new book and the fact that he’s left lead him to use a spell that not only prevents the public from reading about magic but puts on display his own prowess as a magician.

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave returns to the Royal Family in The Crown while Wayne sings the praises of the new Disney + streaming service and the opportunity to revisit favorites from his childhood.

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands wonders about the tear Mr. Norrell sheds and whether madness is truly the key to making a physical connection with the fairy world.
