The end of HBO's 'Hacks' got us reflecting on '30 Rock,' 'The Other Two,' 'The Studio,' and more.

Abdullah Saeed's crime comedy starring Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jagannathan returns to Hulu for Season 2. The six episodes deliver on what made Season 1 so fun, but we're hoping for extra depth (and more of one specific character) if there's a Season 3!

Co-creator of last year's breakout hit 'Adolescence' Jack Thorne is back with a new series on Netflix. This time, he's adapting the classic novel that Proma and Radhika both read in high school: ‘Lord of the Flies.’ They get into classic literature, art that pays homage to the 1954 book (like their beloved 'Lost' and 'Yellowjackets'), and whether this needed to be a four-hour adaptation. What did you think about the show?

Two of our favorite shows returned to Netflix in April — but how did Season 2 measure up to Season 1? Radhika and Proma get into the new seasons of Beef and Running Point, and might even have their first on-mic fight??#podcast #tv #netflix #springtv #tvcritic

Proma and Radhika are joined by theater critic and book lover Erin Strecker to talk us through spring’s hottest titles! If you love a romcom or a spicy memoir or a movie parody or Patrick Ball from ‘The Pitt’… there’s something for everyone.#theater #nyc #springbooks #podcast #entertainment

Somehow, we’re a quarter of the way through 2026 and that means there’s already been SO. MUCH. TO. WATCH. If you don’t know where to begin in catching up, Proma and Radhika bring you their Q1 faves right after a trip down memory lane to celebrate Michigan’s national championship. #goblue PromRad gets into titles like Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, Temptation Island, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, and more! 

Welcome to the first installment of PROMRAD RECOMMENDS, where we pitch a show that the other person hasn’t seen and hope to sell them — and you! — on watching. Today, Radhika discusses ‘Shrinking’ just in time for the third season finale, and Proma talks all things ‘St. Denis Medical,’ which is now streaming on Netflix in addition to its home on NBC!

With studio mergers and AI being the talk of Hollywood in 2026, Rebecca Roberts and Kurt Szarka have a vision for a different path forward -- one that's rooted in independent filmmaking. They joined Proma and Radhika to chat about their new venture, ReadyMade Productions, and the studio's first feature film 'Brother,' which Rebecca wrote based on her own experiences navigating a loved one's addiction.
