Add This To Your List

Tom and Mark are freezing on the East Coast, but Funmi and the rest of Southern California are quite hot right now - in more ways than one! We've got another Scream 5 cast update, and NBC Peacock execs just might have listened to our Clueless episode, as they've greenlit a reboot. You'll find our signature segment - the list - at 12:25, and this episode we talk Vivarium, The Lost Husband and The Trial on Netflix, Succession and I'll Be Gone in the Dark on HBO, Brave New World from aforementioned Peacock, and Shudder's new, very scary flick Host. At 42:16, we play a special round of Tom's Trivia - this time focused on list items from our previous 100 episodes. 

We made it! Our 100th episode is here and it's the celebration your ears have been waiting for! First up at 2:05, we give you Housekeeping and Headlines, from our admiration for Regis Philbin to Netflix's Top 10 most-watched original movies to those exciting 2020 Emmy nominations. We discuss the surprises, the snubs, and who we think will snatch the trophies this September. Then it's time for our list of recommendations at 24:30 and we've got Greyhound on Apple TV+, The Old Guard on Netflix, Palm Springs on Hulu, Motherless Brooklyn on HBO, and new summer scares Relic and The Rental on demand. And lastly at 53:40, we invite some listeners to the party! Social media manager Sabrina, author Brad Shreve, Nurse Mel, Laurie, Do You Want to Make a Podcast? co-host Joe Godley, and Cassie say what they think about some of our recommendations over the course of 100 episodes. Thank you, fans!

This week, we’ve got a lot to catch up on during our Housekeeping and Headlines segment - from Halloween Kills and Candyman release delays to a slew of show cancellations, black casting excellence and new Academy voting rules. Plus, our signature list this episode features HBO’s Welcome to Chechnya, indie film Light from Light, Hulu’s Good Boy, Bravo's Camp Getaway, and Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries and The Baby-Sitters Club reboots. Then we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Clueless, and Tom and Mark have a special reenactment! 

We're not done debating Hulu's Love, Victor! Plus, there's more on the awards delay and cancel culture fronts. Our list starts at 16:50, so check it out to see if we loved, hated, added or skipped Elizabeth Moss in Hulu's Shirley, the Sundance darling Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You and Yvonne Orji's stand-up special on HBO, AMC's Quiz and the Netflix sensation Eurovision Song Contest with Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams. But if you're a Broadway fanatic, you may want to rush ahead to 46:30, where we talk about our favorite stage musical-to-film adaptations in anticipation of Hamilton dropping on Disney+!

Pride Month parades and marches may be cancelled, but we are so excited to welcome drag stars Alexis Michelle (RuPaul's Drag Race season 9, Dragnificent!) & Dusty Ray Bottoms (RuPaul's Drag Race season 10) to our show! They join us for a great conversation after we discuss our favorite drag queens and kings of cinema at 44:30. In other news, everyone from Stassi to "Cops" and "Live PD" are leaving our TVs - both Tom and Funmi don't know what "Live PD" is, which shocks Mark and the rest of America. And we were not prepared to have so many HBO apps in 2020! In our signature segment at 16:00, we share our thoughts on Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, the titillating 365 DNI, And Then We Danced, Just Mercy, Sweetheart, and Love, Victor. And a question to ponder for our next episode: is the new Hulu film Shirley good or garbage?

It's a hard time in the United States right now. We're all going through elements of pain and sadness, but it's important to find laughter and happiness amongst the sadness, so we're going to do our best to bring you fun content with our weekly list. This week, Funmi, Tom and Mark each found things to add, from A Secret Love and The Lovebirds on Netflix to Pixar's Out on Disney+ and Defending Jacob on Apple TV+, to getting dirty with USA's Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story and Amy Schumer Learns to Cook on Food Network. Plus, it's the time of year again --- Pilot season! We each pick and discuss the TV pilot scripts that stood out to us and wonder when/if they'll get made after Covid-19 runs its course. 

The three amigos are together again after a brief hiatus! We're starting to get some clarity on what broadcast networks are doing for Fall TV...and could that Amazon-AMC Theaters rumor have any weight?! At 12:20, we get into our lists. Funmi gushes over Michelle Obama's Becoming doco and was fully intrigued by Netflix's Trial by Media. Tom and Mark wish they could share the same enthusiasm for Netflix's Freud series, HBO's I Know This Much Is True and Showtime's Penny Dreadful sequel series. Amazon's Upload, however, gave Mark all the feels. We wrap up the episode doing a deep-dive discussion on Ryan Murphy's new Netflix outing, Hollywood, at 38:50. Is it all glitz and no glamour...or did we fall in love with this revisionist tale?

Disney+ is kicking butt with 50 million subscribers, the Rona has caused Globes and SAG to consider awards eligibility changes, and The Others is getting a modernized reboot?! Plus, in our signature segment, Funmi has a lot to say about FX’s Mrs. America, Tom shares his thoughts on the final season of Schitt’s Creek and Mark has some thoughts on HBO's new series, Run. Plus, we talk Unorthodox and Home Before Dark and share how much we loved the Will & Grace ‘I Love Lucy’ tribute. Then, Quibi is finally here! Hear our thoughts on the app and programming! 

The upside to cabin fever? We're watching a ton of content! Our list begins at 5:15, and this episode we discuss HBO's The Plot Against America, Netflix's The Platform, Amazon's Making the Cut, Dua Lipa's new music video for Break My Heart and...yes, of course...the infamous Tiger King docuseries! At the 35-minute mark, we throw it back to 2000 and talk about our favorite movies, music and TV shows from that transformative year. Stay healthy and sane, y'all!
