Ep. 95: Take Me to Ryan Murphy's Dreamland

05/20/20 • 52 min

The three amigos are together again after a brief hiatus! We're starting to get some clarity on what broadcast networks are doing for Fall TV...and could that Amazon-AMC Theaters rumor have any weight?! At 12:20, we get into our lists. Funmi gushes over Michelle Obama's Becoming doco and was fully intrigued by Netflix's Trial by Media. Tom and Mark wish they could share the same enthusiasm for Netflix's Freud series, HBO's I Know This Much Is True and Showtime's Penny Dreadful sequel series. Amazon's Upload, however, gave Mark all the feels. We wrap up the episode doing a deep-dive discussion on Ryan Murphy's new Netflix outing, Hollywood, at 38:50. Is it all glitz and no glamour...or did we fall in love with this revisionist tale?

Ep. 96: Sometimes You Need Laughter Amongst the Sadness

It's a hard time in the United States right now. We're all going through elements of pain and sadness, but it's important to find laughter and happiness amongst the sadness, so we're going to do our best to bring you fun content with our weekly list. This week, Funmi, Tom and Mark each found things to add, from A Secret Love and The Lovebirds on Netflix to Pixar's Out on Disney+ and Defending Jacob on Apple TV+, to getting dirty with USA's Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story and Amy Schumer Learns to Cook on Food Network. Plus, it's the time of year again --- Pilot season! We each pick and discuss the TV pilot scripts that stood out to us and wonder when/if they'll get made after Covid-19 runs its course.
