Crossing Streams

Craig Elsten, Beau Lynott, Justice Parman and Corey Stewart are back to sift through the biggest themes and biggest scenes from Season 3/Episode 4 of the best show on television, Succession. Why is "writing the unspoken" one of the key elements to Succession's success? Also, we replay the audio of the biggest scenes of the show, recap scene-by-scene, and offer our weekly awards such as Biggest Insult and Cringiest Cringe!

One of the pleasant surprises of 2021 is Only Murders in the Building, a show that was set up to be overdone and hacky, but wound up finding a sweetness and avoiding getting *too* campy. Craig Elsten and Liddy Loree reconvene to discuss (without spoilers, then with) what made Only Murders better than expected, and the greatness of that finale!

Craig Elsten, Justice Parman and Corey Stewart are back for another weekly installment of Full F*^%ing Beast, your Succession Season Three recap podcast! The battle lines have been drawn in the Roy family and Logan will manipulate whoever he needs to in order to win his power struggle against Kendall...but do his power tricks work against the federal government? And while Kendall feels like no one can hurt him, Shiv knows her words will cut far deeper than a comedian's. We go scene-by-scene through the episode, then offer our weekly category winners!

Last year, we kind of liked The Morning Show, or at least thought it was trying to say something interesting. Then, season two came along. Craig Elsten and Rebecca Lawson Gennaro do their best to explain what's gone wrong in season two, how the show can't pick on a solid topic to be about, and veers into weird and sometimes actively bad story and character choices. We hate-watched the show so you don't have to!

The Full F*^%ing Beast panel is back for a deep-dive recap of Episode 2 of the third season of Succession! Find out why FAMILY is the #1 theme for the second episode, and how familial ties are preyed upon throughout the episodes, especially sibling rivalries! Catch our top-two most important scenes from this week's show. Then our categories: #1 Boy, Biggest Insult, Biggest Move, Cringiest Cringe, and Tomlette with Gregs!

Craig is joined for the first time by Chappell, podcast host for #RHAP. First, they talk about Chappell's new podcast he is hosting with Rob Cesternino called "Nothing but Netflix". Then, a full review of the fascinating horror/spiritual drama, "Midnight Mass", airing on Netflix. We start with a non-spoiler segment, then get into the very big spoilers after the break (24:10)! Lastly, Craig and Chappell talk about the latest season of Survivor to date (at the 1:00:00 mark).

Craig Elsten, Beau Lynott, Justice Parman and Corey Stewart are back to go scene-by-scene through Season 3 Episode 1 of Succession. Who was this week's #1 Boy, who had the Best Insult, Best Move, Cringiest Cringe and more! Categories, clips and the best lines from a great week of television.

Ted Lasso's second season was one of the most anticipated television programs of 2021. Did it live up to expectations, or were the expectations unfairly set? Craig Elsten and Marisa Cali reconvene for their third Ted Lasso podcast of the season, going through each of the storylines they liked, and the ones they (really) didn't like.

The most anticipated show of 2021 is here, Succession Season 3 on HBO, and we are breaking out our Succession coverage into its own podcast on the Crossing Streams feed! Each week through the season, Craig Elsten is joined by official Crossing Streams Succession Correspondent Beau Lynott, LA filmmaker/writer Justice Parman, and San Diego legend Corey Stewart to break down the funniest, darkest and smartest show on television. In the Season Three preview podcast, the panel discusses what they love about Succession, look back at Season Two, and do a Power Draft of Succession characters for the upcoming season! Check back each Monday night for a new episode!

Craig Elsten is joined by resident film buff and Marvel/Star Wars expert Ken Gartin for a wide-ranging episode of Crossing Streams. First, the guys tackle the David Chase-directed Sopranos film prequel, 'The Many Saints of Newark', which has its hits and misses, and a lot to discuss. Then, the guys dive into what made Disney+'s 'What If?' a bit underwhelming, and the lessons it could stand to learn from a much more successful concept on the same platform, 'Star Wars: Visions'. Last but not least, Craig and Ken offer their recommendations of other shows they are watching, including a little talk about the first three episodes of 'Survivor 41'.
