Always Be Watching episodes

  • 30 Rock | Euphoria | Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story | American Graffiti | Good Afternoon Adelaide
    There are so many shows worth checking out right now that we crumbled under the pressure and instead spend our first 10 minutes talking about rewatching 30 Rock - a sitcom that absolutely still holds up really well.
    We also explore teens staying up all night in HBO teen drama Euphoria (thanks to drugs and partying) and American Graffiti (thanks to enjoying driving around in cars). Oh, and we delve into the Martin Scorsese doco Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story.
    Oh, and then we discuss the abstract comedy genius that is Good Afternoon Adelaide.
    This is too much podcast. Can you believe you're getting it for free?
