Episode 120: Red Alert for the NFL Red Zone and Christmas TV Dec 25, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the most disturbing TV news of the decade: after years of providing a near-perfect product, the NFL Red Zone has added... commercials. Cory Doctorow's belief that every good product goes bad as capitalism seeks to claw every red cent out of it is so far undefeated and its latest victim is Angelo's favorite NFL broadcast. Is it a big deal in the broader context of humanity? No. But, it does reveal a larger problem of the things that we love getting worse instead of better!
Then, Jay's son, Keane, joins the podcast to host a very special contest: Angelo, Jay, and Rhea each pitch him on a weird Christmas movie that he hasn't seen before and he judges to see who chose best. Angelo believes that he's the favorite... and he's probably right. Please write us and let us know who you think chose the best movie.
All that, PLUS: British corner, a discussion of the best Christmas episodes of television, and a review of Angelo's favorite show this year.
You GOTTA listen to this one!

Episode 119: Mr. Beast, Quentin Tarantino, and The Penguin Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the new controversies surrounding the new Mr. Beast gameshow on Amazon and whether it's possible to enjoy a show if you know that the person making it is a hypocrite. Can you watch shows like The Tonight Show, Ellen, or Yellowstone, even though it's a known fact that the people at the center of them are not exactly the most pleasant people? Or is all that matters the product on the screen?
Then, the gang discusses what TV lineup was the best of all time. Was it 1974? All in the Family, MASH, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Bob Newhart? Or 2010? Community, 30 Rock, The Office, and Parks and Rec? Or one of the many in between?
All that, PLUS: British Corner, Angelos' new FAVORITE SHOW, and a review of The Penguin.

Episode 118: Offensive Comedy and Out of Touch Critics Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss The Ringer’s list of Top Ten TV shows, which feels disconnected from the shows people are actually watching. Do art critics have a responsibility to reflect the zeitgeist, or is their time better spent trying to direct the conversation towards shows people SHOULD be watching?
Then, the gang follows up on Bones and All, the new Anthony Jeselnik special of Netflix and breaks down exactly how the comic is so deftly able to dodge being “cancelled” despite doing comedy that dances right on the edge of offensive.
All that PLUS: a rave review of Joy on British Corner, and a rare PAN from Jay!
It’s another CAN’T MISS episode!

Episode 117: The Box Office is BACK but the NBA is FLAILING Dec 04, 2024

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the amazing box office performance that Moana 2, Wicked, and Gladiator 2 had last week and whether or not it signals that the movies are SAVED (or if it's just a statistical blip). While they're on the subject, they discuss the weird path that Moana 2 took to get to theaters and how that might be bad news for movies going forward.
THEN, the gang talks about the insane drop in NBA TV ratings (DOWN 28% year over year!) and what might be causing such an astonishing drop in interest. The NBA made $76 Billion selling their TV rights... do the networks and streamers who ponied up that money regret it!?
All that PLUS: British Corner, a review of The Madness, and a CHALLENGE to our listeners!

Show notes

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back with a long discussion about the unbelievable debacle of a fight that Netflix (tried to) air on Friday night. From technical difficulties, to bizarre choices of announces (Rosie Perez!?), all the way up to and including that joke of a sanctioned fight, the gang breaks down every single one of the 1001 errors Netflix made.
Then, it's a discussion of Red One its absolute catastrophe of an opening weekend. Earning only $32 million on a budget of a quarter of a billion dollars, Angelo, Jay, and Rhea needed to discuss whether we can still consider Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson a legitimate movie star.
All that PLUS British Corner, Angelo's deep dive into AMC+, a review of Tulsa King, and EVEN MORE GREAT CONTENT.

Episode 114: Is David Zaslav the New Andy Reid? Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the absolute ABOMINABLE treatment that David Zaslav has inflicted on Clint Eastwood by dumping Juror #2 into 50 screens for an embarrassingly small limited run before coming to streamers in December. Angelo has a review of the movie and a well-deserved tongue-lashing of everybody's least favorite studio executive.
Then, the gang discuss the new documentary on Netflix, Dirty Pop, which tells the story of Lou Perlman and the boy bands that he discovered and helped blossom into stardom. At issue is the documentary's controversial use of an AI-generated Perlman programmed to look and sound exactly like the real one, reciting Perlman's own words from his autobiography. Is this an acceptable use of technology? Or is it another sign that we're headed even further into a world where you can't even trust your eyes.
All that PLUS: British and Teen Corner, a discussion of Kevin Costner's last days on Yellowstone, and the rise of The Great Sports Debate.

Episode 113: Young Tom Hanks, Cozy Crimes, and the World Series Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back with an in-depth discussion of the new Robert Zemeckis/Tom Hanks/Robin Wright movie Here. First, the gang has a talk about the controversial use of technology to de-age actors and whether or not that helps or hurts a movie. Then, Jay gives his review of the movie and the gimmick at its heart (a static camera, never moving, through entire picture).
THEN, The World Series scored monster ratings this year and the crew breaks down what the reasons for this were. Was it just because LA and New York are such big markets? Is it star power? Gambling? The Pitch Clock? All of the above? As always, it's never a simple answer.
ALL THAT, PLUS: British Corner, a review of Venon: The Last Dance, a review of the new Martha Stewart documentary, and much MUCH MORE!

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

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

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.
AND THERE'S EVEN MORE TO DISCOVER! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!
