Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back with an idea: since Gen Z only seems to love horror movies, let's do a show about the scariest movies we've ever seen. The list is as distinctive and weird as the cast of the show is, so you know this is one you're gonna want to listen to.

THEN: Nepo Babies are everywhere, and they usually get a bad rap. But who are the GOOD nepo babies, the ones who took their privilege and did something amazing with it.

ALL THAT, PLUS: a review of the new stuntman movie on Apple TV, the death of PG-13, British Corner, and much MUCH MORE!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to talk about Nathan Fielder's towering masterpiece of a movie, the 3-hour reality-bending documentary You Can See Everything.

It's a 3 hour movie that stays with you for days, and it's so good it actually got Jay and Angelo to agree on something.

THEN: Troy Aikman might be out at ESPN and the gang debates whether he's still a good football analyst. Bonus conversation about the reclamation of Joe Buck, someone who had the biggest swing from "hated" to "beloved" of any sports announcer... maybe ever!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the crazy controversy going on with Sebastian Maniscalco. He recently took over Sirius/XM’s Raw Dog comedy channel and immediately revamped it to only feature famous comedians, meaning around 500 working comics just lost a LOT of income. You know where Jay stands on this, but what do Angelo and Rhea think?!

Then: Digger flopped bigger than any other movie in decades. The Gang does an analysis of what went wrong PLUS Jay has his review of the movie.

ALL THAT PLUS: Ted Lasso’s ending, Aaron Sorkin’s latest and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Primetime and just what a weird movie experience it is. Both Jay and Angelo liked it, but less as a telling of Chris Hanson's life, and more for Robert Pattinson's stellar performance and the weird, horror flourishes that the movie takes in the last third. This leads to a discussion about Gen Z and their love of horror and why that might be.

THEN, it's a discussion of the ghoulish new Willy Wonka gameshow and how it is using Gene Wilder's AI voice to host it. Angelo thinks that's just fine, but Rhea and Jay have their reservations.

All that PLUS: The time Kelly Ripa's dad wanted to punch Jay, teenyboppers who went on to make it big, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the premier episode of SNL and the fact that Jalen Brunson will be hosting. Lorne Michaels has said that the best non-actors to host the show are usually athletes, because they know how to perform under pressure, but that doesn't pass the sniff test so far as Angelo is concerned. To his mind, there are only THREE athletes who were ever good on that show... can you make a guess as to which three?

THEN, Donald Trump has had a contentious relationship with the press and the gang discusses their own issues covering sports in a town that's fanatical about them, and how hard it is to maintain the integrity of the first amendment while dealing with players and owners who have issues about what you've said in the past.

ALL THAT PLUS: Slow Horses, OJ Simpson, the best show of the 21st century, and much MUCH more!

Was John Mulaney the ONLY good thing about the Emmys?! Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Angelo, Rhea and Jay are BACK to discuss a lackluster Emmys that seemingly had only ONE breakout moment with John Mulaney’s hilarious introduction to the Best Actor in a Drama category. Ratings were down huge and the gang discusses whether the awards show is dead.

THEN: sideline reporters seem to have only one mandate: look good and find out next to ZERO information. Do they still have a place on TV? Did they ever?

All that PLUS: Primetime, British Corner, Tony, and much MUCH more!

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are BACK to discuss the new Betr commercial that stars Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier as characters that are exactly like Ari Gold and Vincent Chase who, for legal reasons, can't actually be called by those names. The creator of Entourage, Doug Ellin went onto Twitter to vent his frustration at characters that he created being used without his permission and the gang discusses the ethics of who owns TV characters 20-something years after their cultural moment.

THEN, our fans are MAD at us for disliking Coyote vs. Acme. Jay reads the email and then Angelo gives his verdict: was the movie good or not!?

All that PLUS Nathan Fielder's surprise new movie, a review of The Preacher's Wife, British corner, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss a guy who they've all interacted with at various points: Howard Stern. Angelo and Rhea used to compete against him in the Philadelphia market, and Jay used to write for him. Now comes word that he's taking what's left of his Sirius/XM show and turning it into a TV show on HBOMax and the gang is split on whether this is a good idea.

THEN: Jay has seen Coyote vs. Acme and, uh... could David Zaslav have been right, actually? The man who loves everything found it to be a slog, and the gang discusses whether the rapturous reviews might be because of hate for Zaslav than they are love for the movie.

ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, Untold, the most consistent TV series of all time, and much MUCH more!

THEN, the gang discusses Coyote v. Acme, the new movie... from 2022, rescued from the clutches of podcast villain, David Zaslov. The question? When suits try to stifle creativity, do we, as a viewing audience, have a moral obligation to support the work of those creatives?

ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, a review of Lanterns, the controversial new ADHD documentary, and much MUCH more...

As promised in the episode: Dolly Parton on Johnny Carson
