Episode 131: Meghan Markle, Mickey 17, and Netflix's $320 Million Bomb Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Netflix's new $320 million turkey of a movie, The Electric State, and the mistakers that streamers keep making with these gigantic budgets and flat premises. For the price of a single Electric State, Netflix could have funded a year's worth of Anora-sized movies, releasing one per week. Would we all rather see that instead of Chris Pratt in a silly mustache?!

THEN, the gang discusses Meghan Markle's new TV show and the internet nerds who insist on review bombing it.

ALL THAT PLUS, A review of Mickey 17, a discussion of The Studio, the new Apple TV+ show that is being called the "best new comedy in years", and much MUCH more!

All that PLUS: British corner, a roundup of reviews from Angelo, and a discussion of the excellent new biography about Lorne Michaels.

It’s another CAN’T MISS episode!

Episode 129: RIP James Bond, British TV, and MLB Feb 26, 2025

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss the capitulation of the Broccoli family, turning James Bond over the Amazon, and what that might mean for the future of the franchise. One thing is for certain, it means the end of the character as we currently know him and that the “Marvelization” of James Bond has begun.

Then, the gang talks about MLB and ESPN parting ways and whether or not there’s a place for Major League Baseball at the big kids table of professional sports in America.

ALL THAT PLUS: Rhea’s thoughts on Daniel Mays comments about the death of British TV, a review of Day One and more thoughts on The Gorge!

Episode 128: SNL at 50 Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to talk about the giant SNL 50th birthday show, the future of the Saturday Night mainstay, and the notable absences in the star-studded lineup.

THEN, the gang discuss Paradise, the new sci-fi thriller on Hulu, and whether or not twists can be overdone. A good one, like Paradise can get people talking, but a bad one feels like a betrayal!

All that PLUS: British corner, a review of the new season of White Lotus, a review of the new Captain America movie, and much MUCH more!!

Episode 127: The Big Game Feb 12, 2025

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back to discuss the Super Bowl in all its glory. From the broadcast -- how did Tom Brady and Tubi handle themselves -- to the commercials to the big game itself, it's an examination of the biggest TV event of the year from a TV perspective!

Then, Rhea reviews Prime Target, Angelo has a review of the new Hulu show, Paradise, and Jay warns you to stay far, FAR away from Love Hurts.

Episode 126: The Super Bowl Preview Show Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Angelo, Jay, and Rhea are back, with Angelo fighting through the flu, to have a super-sized discussion of the TV event of the year. Will Tom Brady live up for his $330 million paycheck? Will the surprise announcement that the game will be simulcast on TUBI, for free, improve the game's ratings? And, finally, will Fox regret their decision to put The Floor in the prime after-Super-Bowl slot?

Then, the gang discusses the up-coming shows starring Kate Hudson and Robert DeNiro on Netflix. Has the line between "movie star" and "tv star" been completely eliminated? Are there any movie stars that you can't ever picture taking a job on TV?

All that PLUS a great new show on British corner, a look behind the scenes at SNL, and a fantastic new movie on Netflix.

It's another ACTION PACKED episode!

Episode 125: Are the Eagles the GOOD GUYS of Super Bowl LIX?! Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

Angelo and Jay are joined by guest host Glen Macnow to discuss the growing sentiment that this year's Super Bowl features an underwhelming match-up. Outside of Kansas City and Philadelphia, it seems like the whole world was rooting for a Commanders/Bills Super Bowl and there are some fans even talking about a boycott. Will it affect ratings? Are the Chiefs officially the bad guys of the NFL? And, does that make the Eagles... the good guys!?
THEN, a discussion of the weird choices made by this year's Oscars and whether or not the critics are out of touch with mainstream society (HINT: THEY ARE!)
All that PLUS, a review of Severance Season 2, a discussion of Netflix's price hike, AND a dramatic reading by Glen Macnow of his character in The Player's Club of Swathmore's staging of Network.

Episode 124: AI Adrien Brody, Bob Uecker, and The Man Who Wants To Live Forever Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the controversy surrounding The Brutalist. The movie is a critically beloved Oscar contender that has been tarnished in recent days as news has come out that Adrien Brody's Hungarian accent was help along by an AI. We all know that AI is coming to replace us, but it seems like using it to adjust an accent is the stupidest kind of controversy to court: who cares how his Hungarian accent sounds?
THEN: Rhea tells some great stories about the late Bob Uecker while Angelo does his best to rip both him and David Lynch. He wants you to know that he is available to give a eulogy!
All that, PLUS: a review of the new documentary on Netflix, Don't Die, a review of a trio of Sebastian Stan movies that just dropped on streaming, and Rhea's British Corner review of Kiera Knightly's new Netflix series!

Episode 123: Tom Brady's Conflict of Interest and Better Man's Complete Failure Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss whether or not Tom Brady's minority ownership of the Raiders makes it impossible for him to call games for Fox Sports. We already know that he's not even a middling analyst, but when you factor in the restrictions placed on him by other teams for being an owner, it's safe to say that Brady is stealing a large part of that 1/3rd of a billion dollar deal that he signed.
THEN, the gang talks about the complete and utter failure of the bizarre Robbie William's biopic Better Man, in which the title character is played by a CGI monkey. The critics seem to think it's a bold and innovative way to tell the same old story, and, indeed, the people who have actually seen the movie appear to enjoy it, but this week it earned $1 million against a budget of... ONE HUNDRED AND TEN MILLION! How does something like this happen?
ALL THAT, PLUS: A discussion of Lockerbie and shows that hit too close to home, a review of Severance season one ahead of season two's upcoming release, and much MUCH more!

Episode 122: The Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser, and The West Wing Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to do a break down of The Golden Globes. Are Awards shows worth watching anymore? How did Nikki Glaser do as a host, and what in the world were they thinking giving any awards to The Bear?
THEN: the worst man in show business, David Zaslav, is up to his old tricks. This time, he's taking The West Wing off of Max for no good reason. The streaming era was so promising, but are things worse now than they ever were with cable?
ALL THAT PLUS: Rhea’s British TV pick, a debate about what makes a good movie, and a review of the new Elvis documentary on Netflix.
