The latest live-action Disney Plus series to tell us what happened between Star Wars movies is Obi-Wan Kenobi, and first-time guest Simone Chavoor is here to discuss whether it's worth your time! Around The Dial takes us through Married At First Sight, Julia, Under The Banner Of Heaven, Magnum P.I. (the original), The Lincoln Lawyer, and Prehistoric Planet. Simone pitches us "Apéritif," the series premiere of Hannibal, for induction into The Canon. Then we name the week's Winner and Loser and close out with a Game Time that's fun for at least two closely-related members of the family. Make yourself a humble little bowl of stew and join us!
