Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

431: Checking Into The White Lotus


Listen Later

The White Lotus is back on HBO for a second season of subjecting rich jerks to various indignities (now in Italy); Joe Reid returns to discuss, among other things, which guests may deserve better than they're getting, and who that season premiere corpse might be. Around The Dial takes us through Love Is BlindThe Vow, and the series premiere of You. Sophie makes the case for our inducting The X-Files episode "Pusher" into The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that may have you seeing double. Make yourself an Aperol spritz and join us!
