Ep. 47 - 'The Agency' Shows The Human Cost of American Espionage


Listen Later

David and Patrick discuss what’s happening in the world of TV, then dive into the third episode of Skeleton Crew and the first few episodes of The Agency on Paramount+.

What did we make of the first Simpsons/NFL crossover? Is Squid Game season 2 going to be, like, really really amazing? Is it worth your while to pay a visit to The Agency? And does Skeleton Crew show more or less promise after its third episode? Listen to hear us discuss all these questions and more.
