Add This To Your List

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.

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

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. 97: Pride Party with Drag Stars Alexis Michelle + Dusty Ray Bottoms!

Pride Month parades and marches may be cancelled, but we are so excited to welcome drag stars Alexis Michelle (RuPaul's Drag Race season 9, Dragnificent!) & Dusty Ray Bottoms (RuPaul's Drag Race season 10) to our show! They join us for a great conversation after we discuss our favorite drag queens and kings of cinema at 44:30. In other news, everyone from Stassi to "Cops" and "Live PD" are leaving our TVs - both Tom and Funmi don't know what "Live PD" is, which shocks Mark and the rest of America. And we were not prepared to have so many HBO apps in 2020! In our signature segment at 16:00, we share our thoughts on Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, the titillating 365 DNI, And Then We Danced, Just Mercy, Sweetheart, and Love, Victor. And a question to ponder for our next episode: is the new Hulu film Shirley good or garbage?
