Episode 112: The Sexiest Scene in History and The Five Worst Things About TV Oct 30, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back and as promised, Jay is giving his list of the 5 worst things about TV (and movies). Jay is the show's Pollyanna, seemingly happy just to be watching moving images on the screen: can he actually find five things he hates? Will you agree with them if he can?
And then, a discussion about the steamy new episode of Disclaimer leads into a conversation about the point of sex scenes and why Gen Z seem to be rejecting them.
All that PLUS: British corner, a discussion of Ryan Girdusky's disastrous CNN appearance, and a review of the fantastic new documentary No One Died.

Episode 111: The Wild Robot, SNL at 50, and Conan O'Brien's Worst Day Ever Oct 23, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss the question that's been on everyone's mind through all one hundred and eleven episodes of the show: Does Angelo Cataldi have a heart?! Well, Angelo's here with his review of The Wild Robot and the answer might shock you! (SPOILER: it won't.)
Then, the gang discusses the onslaught of SNL guest stars taking on the roles of political figures in the run-up to the election and whether or not that harms the show going forward.
All that, PLUS: a discussion of Conan O'Brien's worst day, reviews of Anatomy of Lies and the LISTENER SUGGESTED F is For Family, as well as British Corner and MUCH MUCH MORE.

Episode 110: Nick Sirianni, Clint Eastwood, and the Death of Satellite TV Oct 16, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Nick Sirianni's silly shenanigans, making angry gestures at the fans and then hiding behind his kids at the press conference. What other great TV moments about sports weren't captured on the field of play, but by buffoonery on the sidelines (or off of the field completely).
Then, the gang discusses their favorite topic: David Zaslav and his slow but sure dismantling of the once storied studio, Warner Bros. From dumping Clint Eastwood's new movie into only 50 theaters to being so hated by Christopher Nolan that Warner Bros wasn't even allowed to bid on his latest movie, could Zaslav be any worse for the company if he tried!?
PLUS: Rhea has British and Teen corner, Angelo makes another impassioned pleas for Wentworth and Jay wonders if the news that Direct TV bought DISH for $1 means the death of Satellite TV forever.

Episode 109: Joker 2, The Phillies, and Angelo's HUGE NEWS! Oct 09, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss the absolutely horrible debut of Joker 2, which somehow cost $200 million and only made $37 million on its opening weekend. Is this the biggest bomb in terms of box office performance as compared to anticipation? Just a few months ago, this was the can't-miss hit of the fall season, and now... nothing!
THEN, the gang discusses the start of the baseball playoffs on the heels of news that 11 of the teams in the MLB have LOST their cable partners for the 2025 season. Is baseball doomed? Can it survive in a world where cable TV is slowly dying?
All the PLUS: British corner with Rhea Hughes, Jay's review of The Wild Robot, AND: GIGANTIC NEWS FROM ANGELO.

Episode 108: Lorne Michaels, Vince McMahon, and Megalopolis Oct 02, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to review the riveting new Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix, Mr. McMahon. Is it possible to play a creep convincingly for so many years without actually being a creep? (SPOILER ALERT: NO)
Then, the gang discusses reports that a nearly 80-year-old Lorne Michaels wants to continue producing SNL despite the 50th season being the perfect stopping point for him and a chance to bring in some new blood. When is the right time to retire?
Speaking of retiring, Jay reviews the incomprehensible slog of Megalopolis, which even saying that, he still thinks you should go and see. Yeah, we don't get it either.
All that, PLUS: British Corner, a review of Nobody Wants This, and a special interview with wrestling expert, Vinnie Nardiello!

Episode 107: Vince McMahon, Chris Collinsworth, RFK Jr., and Agatha All Along Sep 25, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the INSANE amount of money that NBC is paying Chris Collinsworth through 2030. He's the least-loved color commentator in all of sports, so why is he worth so much money?
Then, it's a discussion of the new Vince McMahon documentary that also leads into a discussion of RFK Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi: can you hide your scuzziness from the public if you're on TV all the time? The gang doesn't think so.
ALL THAT PLUS: British Corner (with EXTRA BONUS DISCUSSION), a review of the new ABC show High Potential, and a look at what Jay thinks is the best TV Show of the fall season: Agatha All Along.

Episode 106: What TV Show Would You Teach If You Could? Sep 18, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss all the goings on at the Emmys, including how the Eugene and Dan Levy did as hosts, the simmering heat between Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, and the dumb move to cut off John Oliver in the middle of a moving story about his dog.
Then, the gang talks about Jay's daughter, who is currently being taught the first season of Lost in her English class. What other TV shows are worthy of the classroom experience? Angelo, Jay, and Rhea give their opinions and then ask you for yours!
All that PLUS: British Corner, a review of the listener-suggested Once Upon a Time, a deep dive into the Late Night TV landscape, and a review of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
It's way too much TV to fit in one half hour, but somehow we manage!

Episode 105: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and Jackson Lamb Sep 11, 2024

Jay returns from his time asea to join Angelo and Rhea for a discussion about Tom Brady's NFL commentator debut and how maybe Fox shouldn't pay someone a third of a BILLION dollars if they're completely untested at their new job.
THEN, the gang talks about last night's debate. Famously, Angelo predicted after the debate in June that Biden was done, and he was proven correct. What were his feelings about how it went from Trump last night? You'll have to listen to find out.
All that, PLUS: Rhea finally prevailed on Angelo to watch the sneaky-best TV show currently airing Slow Horses. Angelo talks about his feelings on the show while Rhea reviews Season 4. ALSO in this episode: Friday night football, Nicole Kidman's face, and the new Sopranos documentary.

Episode 104 - Politics, ESPN and the Best Sitcom of All Time Sep 04, 2024

With Glen subbing for Jay again, the gang prepares for the live TV event of the year, the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Sept. 10. What are the best and worst live-TV moments in our lives?
ESPN actually did a sports event that Angelo enjoyed -- the Little League World Series. Why does the No. 1 sports network in the world so often intrude on events it carries?
Is The Office the best sitcom of all time? Glen make a case for it. Angelo and Rhea disagree.
Don't miss these topics and another dramatic recreation of a famous scene by Glen. He even explains what F-U really means.

Episode 103 Aug 28, 2024

Don't miss the debut of Glen Macnow, who is subbing for boat-bound host Jay Black. Glen gives a dramatic reading of a famous TV monologue, along with a great TV tip. Rhea checks in with British and Teen picks, along with a fascinating take on the diva-behavior of Blake Lively. Meanwhile, Angelo tries to remember how to host a show.

Episode 102: Vince Vaughn, Jimmy Kimmel, and The Most Dramatic TV Moment of the Year! Aug 21, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the most dramatic TV moment of the year, and it isn't even close. Angelo takes you through the entire story and explains exactly what made it so compelling and the moment is so huge that Jay even admits to once watching a four hour YouTube documentary about the history of The Family Feud. It all makes sense in context. You won't want to miss this discussion!
Then, the gang talks about the new Vince Vaughn show, Bad Monkey, and the joy of watching stars just be themselves on screen.
Also discussed this episode: who should be the host of next year's Oscars, the amazingly fun Guy Ritchie film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and the new season of Industry.
As always, the show is jam-packed with content and you're gonna want to listen!

Episode 101: Elon Musk, SNL, and Tom Cruise Aug 14, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Donald Trump’s recent interview on Twitter (does ANYONE actually call it “X”?) and whether or not social media has finally surpassed TV as the place where the most eyeballs land when something important happens.

Then, it’s a discussion of the brand new SNL movie coming October 11th — the preview has sparked a lot of debate online as to whether or not this thing looks worthwhile and the gang weighs in with their thoughts on the matter.

PLUS: British and Teen Corner, a discussion of the filmography of Doug Liman, and, on the 20th anniversary of Lost, a quick list of our favorite pilot episodes of all time!

Episode 100: The Hundredth Episode Spectacular! Aug 07, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back for the one hundredth time to talk all things television with you! Jay is performing on a cruise ship, out to sea, for the entire month, but that doesn't stop him from going into a in-depth discussion of how important 100 episodes used to mean in the era of broadcast TV. Further, with the diminished importance of the all business model (broadcast TV for 100 episodes and then syndication until the heat death of the universe), the gang delves into how that affects the type of shows that gets made.
Then, Jay reads a piece of fan mail in its entirety (a new segment, so make sure you send your fan mail in at the link above to get your words on the show), which leads to a discussion of the dumbest reasons we've ever disliked a celebrity. It won't surprise you that Angelo leads the way in that department.
All that PLUS, British and Teen corner, Angelo's Top Five shows to Binge, and a discussion about what makes for a great SNL actor.

Episode 99: The Olympics, Deadpool, and Pete Rose Jul 31, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the incredible increase in ratings the Olympics have been getting and what the reason for that might be. Angelo, though, is not one of the millions watching, however, and he tells the story of why he'll never watch the Olympics again.
The gang also discusses the new documentary, Charlie Hustle, about the life and times of Pete Rose and his desperate attempt to make it in the hall of fame. It's a sad story that you have trouble feeling any emotion about because Pete Rose is such an unlikeable guy.
All that, PLUS: a review of Deadpool and Wolverine, a discussion of Siskel and Ebert's contribution to television, and a review of the new Louis CK documentary, Sorry Not Sorry.

Episode 98: Joe Biden, Skip Bayless, and Jake Paul Jul 24, 2024

Rhea and Angelo join jay from their respective shore houses to discuss Joe Biden dropping out of the race for president: how TV had an impact on his decision and what having a newer, younger candidate might do for the ratings of the Democratic National Convention.
Then, it's a discussion about Jake Paul's transition from Disney star to YouTuber and now to boxer. His upcoming fight with Mike Tyson (yes, 59 year old Mike Tyson) will be on Netflix in November and the gang tries to figure out what this means in terms of the health of professional boxing.
All that PLUS: British and Teen corner, a review of both Love on the Spectrum and Twisters, and a deep dive on Skip Bayless being let go from FS1 and apparently unwelcome on ESPN.

Episode 97: Morning Joe, Billy Joel, and Howard Eskin Jul 17, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the insane decision by MSNBC to take Morning Joe off the air in the wake of the attempt on Donald Trump's life. Angelo discusses his various run-ins with "suits" who didn't want him to discuss certain things on air before uncontrollably diving into the latest controversy at his former employers! You WON'T want to miss this!
Then, Angelo reveals what The Bear has taught him about television and, surprisingly enough, Jay agrees with hit on it, giving the two of them a moment of unity about that show.
All that PLUS: Billy Joel's Vienna is a surprise hit among the teens, Rhea's British corner, MLB's All Star game, and Angelo actually went to the movies!

Episode 96: Box Office, The Bear, and Beverly Hills Cop Jul 10, 2024

Rhea Hughes is BACK and ready to discuss with Angelo and Jay the big news about the box office: movies are popular again, with Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 earning huge grosses. But the news isn't all rosy -- last week, out of the $150 million earned at the theater, only 8% went to movies that weren't a prequel or a sequel. We keep saying that people want original movies with good stories... but maybe we're wrong?
Then Rhea is moved to tears talking about The Bear -- but not for the reasons you think. It's honestly one of the most touching and poignant moments in the history of the show and it's a must listen.
All that, PLUS: the return of British and Teen corner, a review of Ezra by Jay, a discussion about the Paramount/SkyDance merger, a list of TV shows that became great when nobody was looking, and Jay feels bad about his Judge Reinhold joke (seriously).

Episode 95: The Bear is Back! Jul 03, 2024

Angelo and Jay are alone this week to discuss the strange new direction that The Bear has decided to take in Season Three. Here's a spoiler: one of them loved it and the other hated it. The discussion about the show is spoiler free up until 7:40. Then there are light spoilers through until minute 14, so if you don't want any hints at all about the season, you'll want to skip ahead.
THEN, Angelo gives a breakdown of Biden's debate performance last week, the boys have a discussion of The Wonder Years and the brand new stand-up comedy movie, Ezra, and Keane Black joins us to discuss the new Emma Stone movie, Kinds of Kindness.

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back with a discussion about the reports that Stephen A. Smith is on the verge of signing a $90 million deal with ESPN, even as the sports giant continues layoffs in front of and behind the camera. Is he worth that kind of money? Angelo and Rhea have thoughts!
Then, the gang discusses the upcoming presidential debate and the decision by CNN to run commercials during it. Does this undermine the impartiality of a newsworthy event, or were commercials always an inevetibility?
All that PLUS the Emmy's decision to include some YouTube programming in their awards, British and Teen corner, and a review of the new documentary about Penthouse Magazine.

Angelo, Jay and Rhea discuss the flailing NBA ratings (and the surprisingly good NHL ratings) and try to get to the bottom of why people aren't tuning in just as the NBA is on the precipice of signing a $76 Billion broadcast deal.
Then, the gang discuss the weird review bombing that's happening for shows like Star Wars and The Boys. Nerds are unhappy at the perceived politics of these shows and they're making the screechy voices heard... do review sites have an obligation to police these manipulations?
All that PLUS British Corner, Teen Corner, a review of Presumed Innocent, a discussion of the economics of NBC's decision to drop the band from Seth Meyers's show, and much MUCH more!

Episode 91: Will Smith, Caitlin Clark, and Charles Barkley Jun 05, 2024

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss whether or not Will Smith's new movie -- and first major release since "The Slap Heard Round the World" -- will make money this weekend. The Bad Boys franchise is certainly beloved and the Box Office is certainly desperate for a hit, but will audiences return to watch Will on the big screen after we saw his true nature at the Oscars?
Then, they dive into the Caitlin Clark controversy that is gripping the WNBA and the collateral damage that it's doing to commentators on ESPN who don't know how to keep their big mouths shut.
And old friend of the pod, David Zaslov, makes another appearance in the ongoing series of "stupidest decisions a media company exec has ever made" as it looks like Charles Barkley and the NBA have possibly made their last appearances on TNT.
All that PLUS: the British and Teen Segment from Rhea, Angelo's review of a movie that he calls one of the best he's ever seen, Jay is desperate to try to watch some Phillies games despite being a cord cutter, and even MORE GOOD CONTENT!

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back for a discussion about CBS's decision to cancel So Help Me Todd, despite the fact that it ended its second season on a huge cliffhanger and, as per usual, Angelo has some strong ideas about how all shows should treat season finales.
The gang then discusses the passing of Morgan Spurlock and the legacy of his landmark 2004 documentary, Super Size Me.
And then, Jay has a review of Furiosa and Angelo thinks he's absolutely insane for liking the Mad Max movies. Did you see the movie? Did you love it as much as Jay did? Click the link above and let us know your thoughts!

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to do discuss a topic suggested by YOU, our listeners: Francis Ford Coppola's brand new movie is Megalopolis, a $150 million, self-funded passion project that debuted at Cannes this week. It just so happened that also debuting this week at Cannes was Horizon: An American Saga, Kevin Costner's $75 million, self-funded passion project. The gang discusses whether these men, at the ends of the careers, are being brave or foolish... or both.
(If you'd like to suggest a topic, click on the "send us a text message" button at the top of this page and tell us what you're interested in!)

Then, The Office is getting a spinoff on the ailing Peacock network. Is this a desperate play to save a dying streamer or a chance to revisit some of our old friends from Scranton? The gang discusses the few details that have been released and tries to make sense of the decision.
ALL THE PLUS: Tom Brady's first day as an announcer has been revealed, we discuss Anne Hathaway's new movie and try to figure out why she's such a hated figure, Rhea has British and Teen Corner, and Jay makes a DESPERATE PLEA for you all to go see The Fall Guy while it's still in theaters!

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea have a knock-down, drag-out fight over Unfrosted, the new Jerry Seinfeld Netflix movie that wastes about 10 million megawatts of star power on a thin premise and an even thinner script. Who hated it? Who loved it? You'll have to listen to find out.
PLUS, we dig into the reports that the NBA is about to get a record payday. Is their average of 3 million viewers per playoff game really worth the second-richest deal in TV history?
Rhea has British and Teen Corner, and Angelo has a review of an intriguing new documentary on Hulu called The Contestant. Also, we talk A Man in Full and Equalizer 3.

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss Jerry Seinfeld's comments about comedy getting too politically correct -- is the left making it more difficult to be funny?
Then, they discuss the NBA's insane decision to schedule Thursday's game between the Sixers and the Knicks at 9 PM. These are two east coast teams, so why would the powers that be have them finish play at midnight?!
Plus, Boomer and Phil Simms are out at CBS, does this signal a shift towards a younger demographic for NFL pregame shows (whose commentators have an average age of approximately 211 years old)?
The gang also discuss the 50th anniversary of The Sting, discusses Netflix's Boiling Point, The Boys on Amazon Prime, Elsbeth on CBS, The Sympathizer on Max, and MORE!

From there, the gang discusses OJ's death and the impact that his trial had on TV back in the 1990s.
Then, it's Jay's favorite topic: Billy Joel and CBS's boneheaded decision to cut his concert short -- DURING PIANO MAN -- to air the local news!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay do a deep dive on everything involving the series finale of Curb -- was it so good that it retroactively made the much-maligned Seinfeld finale better?! Should Larry David be put in the pantheon of great TV creators? And, where does Curb rank on Angelo's all-time list of great TV sitcoms?
Then, the gang discusses the walloping that the women's NCAA finale gave the men's final in the ratings. Was this a one-time thing or is there something deeper at work with how the networks schedule these events?

Our first episode has us coming strong out of the gate with a discussion of why we love TV, The Bear, the highest and lowest points of the Emmys, Rhea's British TV corner, TV shows that we can watch with our kids, Cobra Kai, and an impassioned plea for everyone to watch Welcome to Wrexham!
Plus, Jay says things that will probably get him divorced, Rhea showered for nothing, and Angelo threatens to leave the show after one episode.
