In this week's bonus episode, host Bobby Finger talks to the star of the new Netflix original series Bonding, Brendan Scannell. During their chat, Brendan discusses how he came to the role of a dom's assistant/bodyguard, the importance of creating a family of friends in one's life, and the importance of pride in communities of people who grew up thinking of sexuality as something to be ashamed of. He also gushes about some recent queer TV and film, including Gregg Araki's series Now Apocalypse and the film God's Own Country. And, duh, he loves I Think You Should Leave as much as everyone else.

Bonding is now streaming on Netflix.

This week, host Bobby Finger has New York Times Books Review columnist Jaime Green and comedian Emmy Blotnick to the studio to hop on the horse and discuss the inspirational new Netflix film Walk. Ride. Rodeo.–what it does well, what it does not-so-well, and what blintzes have to do with all of it–as well as the baffling and wonderful Australian competition series Instant Hotel–which needs a U.S. adaptation immediately. We also discuss our other current obsessions: the lovely and life-affirming Amy Adams vehicle Junebug (Bobby's), Britain's serene gardening show Big Dreams, Small Spaces (Jaime), Bob Ross's timeless The Joy of Painting (Emmy), and *checks notes* Russia's Toughest Prisons (also Emmy).
