May 05, 2025 San Junipero, Sinners, Deli Boys, and Frasier
This week, Rekha Shankar tries her first (well, not really) Black Mirror episode with San Junipero. She also dissects which Top Chef seasons have too much drama, how Frasier is the best sitcom ever, and why the Sex in the City movies shouldn't be canon. Ali Ghandour finds a parable about the human condition in an obscure Hungarian film, and kindred spirit in Telly from Sesame Street. Tawny Newsome is excited about the new season of 100 Foot Wave, Sinners, and introducing her co-hosts to befitting Star Trek episodes. Everyone loves Deli Boys and takes a look at the upcoming May premieres.
