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

Show notes

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 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?!

Show notes

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?
All that, plus British Corner, Teen Corner, reviews of The Girls on the Bus and Ripley by Angelo and a review of Monkey Man by Jay!
