Back on the Block

Doug has thoughts on James Holtzhauer while Karen has thoughts on “Jeopardy” as a show. Plus, reviews of “Rocketman,” “ Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune,” “Happy Talk,” “ Feral,” and "Something Clean.”

So much champagne! Amanda makes her big power play at D & D, Syd makes some curious business decisions, Jo continues to fall for Jess, and Kimberly continues to lose it. Also, what’s up with Matt’s new man?  

On a very special “Hollywood Boulevard,” special guests Alyssa Maher and ultimate "Game of Thrones" nerd Joseph Gabriel help us ruminate on the series finale - and the full eight seasons -  of “Game of Thrones.”

Doug and Special Guest Star Alyssa dissect the New York theatre season in full and respond to the Tony nominations. With reviews of “Beetlejuice,” “Gary,” “Socrates,” and “BLKS.”

Viewers are the real victims as the writers make out-of-character choices for Stalker Michael, Dumb Jo, and Dumber Alison. Also, Syd somehow becomes a CEO! With Special Guest Star Alyssa Maher.

We dive into the big Battle of Winterfell on “Game of Thrones” and look at the FX shows “Better Things,” “Fosse/Verdon,” and “What We Do In the Shadows.” Plus: remembering John Singleton.

There’s no Jane or Matt, but plenty of Syd showing up where she doesn’t belong? Do we like it? We love it. Also, Alison is super bad at her job, and dumb enough to hire Amanda back.

Special guest star Alyssa Maher joins a marathon discussion about the latest and maybe greatest on Broadway. Discussion includes reviews of “Hadestown,” “Oklahoma!,” “Burn This,” “Tootsie,” and “Hillary and Clinton.”

Doug and Karen disagree about this episode! Decide for yourself. Between Jess coming to town, Michael ping-ponging between Amanda and Kimberly, and Allison being the worst boss ever, is it too much groundwork-laying or is there some good stuff here?

Karen and Doug do their first podcast from the same room! There’s TV talk about the series finales of “Broad City,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” and “You’re the Worst.” (SPOILER ALERT!) And theater talk about “Mrs. Murray’s Menagerie,” “Oklahoma!,” “King Lear,” and “The Lehman Trilogy.”
