Punch Drunk TV

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

It's turkey week and, while you're stuffing your face while arguing with that crazy uncle of yours, enjoy sneaking an earbud into your ear to take a listen to our wild and crazy show.

Oh, and we ate some Crack Pie, courtesy of Momofuku Milkbar. And it was fuuuuckin' tasty.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:

  • "Big Mouth" has been renewed for a third season.
  • Jon Cryer has been cast as Lex Luthor on "Supergirl."
  • Benedict Cumberbatch was almost cast as Vampire Bill in HBO's "True Blood."
  • A "Jack Reacher" TV series is in the works at Paramount Television. According to TV Line, the books' author, Lee Child, said, “for all his talent, [Tom Cruise] didn’t have that physicality.” So, for the TV series, they’re looking for someone who more closely matches the books’ description of Reacher. Basically, to sum up, Tom Cruise is too short.
  • SYFY announced its first original late-night animated series, "Alien News Desk." Set to debut early 2019, the series is a weekly, half-hour topical animated series set in an extraterrestrial newsroom. Voiced by Will Forte (as alien news anchor “Drexx Drudlarr”) and “Saturday Night Live’s” Heidi Gardner (alien co-anchor “Tuva Van Void”), the 12-episode series will cover up-to-the-minute news and commentary about the universe’s most baffling species - the inscrutable Humans of Planet Earth.

AARON'S LOSERS: "American Horror Story: Apocalypse"JACK'S LOSERS: "Super Drags" AARON'S FENCERS: "Saturday Night Live," "The Kominsky Method" and "Dirty John"JACK'S FENCERS: "The Kominsky Method" and Origin" AARON'S WINNERS: "Salt Fat Acid Heat," "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown," "Supernatural," "Dogs" and "Sally4Ever"JACK'S WINNERS: "Dogs," "Daredevil," "Haunting of Hill House," "Sally4Ever," "Follow This," "The Other Side of the Wind Documentary" and "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"
