This Is Crossing The Streams (Bonus Ep12) Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

Need TV binge suggestions? You've come to the right place. We've got you covered.

Crossing the Streams originated on this podcast in episodes 8 and 15. My idea was to record friends freely discussing TV shows (and movies) they binge on one of the many, many streaming services we all subscribe to.

Jeff Dwoskin, Howard Rosner, Ron Lippitt, Bob Philips, and Sal Demilio are your co-hosts and we're joined weekly by special guests. The assignment? We each come to the show with a TV binge suggestion. It might be a series, movie, or documentary but we'll give you the scoop so you can decide for yourself whether or not to dive in.

In this bonus episode we discuss a few great binge suggestions:

This is a Robbery (from live ep 23)
My Octopus Teacher (from live ep 32)
The Handmaid's Tale (from live ep 51)

Each segment is pulled from a show and shared as is in all its LIVE goodness.
