As You Know

We're crossing the Atlantic again with the hit British crime/period drama Peaky Blinders. With serious acclaim and a star-studded cast, does it live up to the hype? Can we keep any of the characters in the finale? And is there a stupider name for a criminal underground organization than Peaky Blinders?

Halloween may be over, but there's always one final scare! In this case it's our discussion of MTV's Scream, which stretched the metatextual slasher franchise into TV series length, made a dumber mask, and had a hard reboot within three seasons.

Do you remember the longest podcast you've ever heard? Can a host do an extended bit that even he doesn't understand? Has a show ever started every episode with a different optical illusion? Prepare to toe the line between fiction and reality as we discuss the show you know from the memes.

Our methodology really pays off with the constantly changing TBS -> HBO Max dark comedy Search Party, which has an ending nobody could've predicted from the start.

We take a trip to the "twin cities" as we look at the definitive workplace sitcom, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, starring an all-time dime (Ed Asner) and a murderer's row of entertainment legends both on and off-camera.

We enter the game show genre with Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, which is apparently harder than it sounds. We get the most jarring "main character recast" ever with Jeff Foxworthy on one end and John Cena on the other. Find out if your hosts are dumber than a 10-year-old.

We reunite with podcast mother Connie Britton to discuss the ABC/CMT series Nashville. Join us at the honky tonk as we slander a character played by Whose Line alum Chip Esten because Travis tragically misread this show's TVTropes page.

It's time for another edition of "shows you haven't heard of unless you watch the NBA on TNT." Did you know they made a TV series out of the Australian indie film Animal Kingdom? And that it ran for six seasons? It just ended a few weeks ago. It's a grimy show about hanging out with your gross uncles and weird grandma.

Magic! Romance! Girl power! Somehow we're only just now during our first Aaron Spelling joint, the WB witch drama Charmed. It's got another one of those weird finales where everyone is time traveling or on a different plane or whatever.

We finally discuss Gunsmoke, which for a long time was the longest-running primetime television program. Except we didn't watch any of the show. We listened to a radio broadcast and watched the final TV movie, aired nearly two decades after the show's cancellation. So come join us as Matt completely breaks our format.
