High Fidelity is actually a really good show with a strong pilot. So why are we talking about it? Well, Hulu cancelled it after just one terrific season, so it qualifies for the pod. Special guest Alexa Serrano joins us to discuss Zoe Kravitz’s take on Rob, a character that John Cusack originally perfected as the blueprint for the modern day fuckboi.

Previous Episode

Murder in Small Town X

It's the summer of 2001. The Mummy Returns is killing at the box office. Nelly's "Ride Wit Me" is playing on every radio station. You don't have homework, so you're up late on a Tuesday night watching Murder in Small Town X, one of the most original, intriguing, and poorly executed reality competition shows ever made. Or at least that was this episode's special guest, Justin Ling, an investigative journalist and author of Missing From the Village.

Next Episode

The Mayor (w/ Catch Up)

In a very special crossover episode, Dan and Aidan are joined by James Rathbone and Jordan Sowunmi, the hosts of Catch up, a fantastic podcast about hip hop. Fittingly, they discuss The Mayor, a 2017 ABC comedy about a young rapper who haphazardly becomes the mayor of his hometown. Also mentioned: the pros and cons of holograms, bizarre rap appearances on The View, and the recipe for strong hip hop television.
