Rectangles Podcast
Film-loving partners Janackeh and Nick get together each week to riff on everything from cult classics and hidden-gem documentaries to current blockbusters and trending series. Their conversations blend sharp observations, easy humor, and the kind of back-and-forth you’d hear from friends arguing over the remote.

Ep. 5 Rectangle to Own
This week on Rectangles Podcast, we head to the South Side of Chicago — by way of the rent-to-own hustle. We’re talking about South Side, the criminally underrated comedy that turns minimum-wage grind into maximum-laugh absurdity.
From repoing TVs and finessing job titles to getting baptized in Lake Michigan, South Side is a world where nothing is owned, but everything’s on display. We break down why the show’s hyper-specific Chicago storytelling hits different, how it flips capitalism into comedy, and why this might be one of the best sitcoms no one told you about.
