Basic Cable

Oh wow, you know what they say about riding a bike? Podcasting after an eight month hiatus is not like that. But Lucas and I got back on the mic to talk about some shows that frankly, just didn't do it for us, and shared what's been on our TV minds since April. It's not perfect, but when is Basic Cable ever the pinnacle of fine audio production? Bear with us as we get out podcast legs back. Special thanks to J, for being my expert of the week on all things FA!

Heyyo, welcome to day 3846238 of quarantine! Have you managed to watch every single show on every single platform yet? Of COURSE NOT. There are too many choices so of course you're just falling back on the comfort shows you can visualize with your eyes closed. But fear not, we're here to walk you through of Netflix's newest offerings like Too Hot to Handle, Outer Banks and the delightful Never Have I Ever. We're happy to be back so listen, share and send us an email saying hey!

Carlie and Lucas make their triumphant return to the pod after a long, strange trip with our new friend Vladimir Skyrizzi. We chat Jeopardy, The Challenge, Michael Jordan and The Last Dance. Carlie reveals her Grey's Anatomy misery index and friend of the show Matt Ski returns with a Netflix recommendation. We're so glad to be back. Thanks for sticking with us.

The Challenge is coming back with a long-anticipated team battle. (8:30) Food News features a dangerous new PBR drink. (12:45) 90 Day Fiance is back (21:35) and Euphoria wraps up. (34:10) We have a fiduciary responsibility to talk about Succession (50:20) and we wonder what the Happy Endings (54:00) crew is up to now.

Thanks to everyone who tuned into our special Jeopardy-centric episode last week. We're back with our regularly scheduled programming this week with a quick dip into the second week Jeopardy All-Star Games, a plea to save Netflix's One Day at a Time (10:50), the final season of You're the Worst (15:10), the start of a very likable new season of The Challenge (17:50), and the end of a very hateable season of True Detective (25:00).
