    • 102 - The "Huh?" Episode

      What a week. Carl and Eitan are confused.

    • 100 - Maybe We Are Just Terribly Wrong

      Join Eitan and Carls for Stuck in Development's 100th episode!! (*insert celebratory music here*)

      The boys start this special episode by going through the WAAW segment for Triangle of Sadness, Ticket to Paradise, and Decision to Leave before checking in on the latest news in a galaxy far, far away.

      Then, they spend the rest of the time looking back at their journey through the last 99 episodes, sharing how they've seen themselves and each other grow, and how they've seen SID impact the way they perceive not only the entertainment industry but also the world at large.

    • 99 - The Cancel Culture Episode!

      Lydia Tár, BTS, Kanye West – everyone’s getting CANCELED!

      As promised last week, Carl & Eitan make a promised transition away from film criticism and into business strategy, but not before spending a few minutes in TÁR Corner. They discuss the government-mandated breakup of K-pop giant BTS, and they spend the majority of the episode digging into the twin horrors of a Ye-owned Parler and an Elon-owned Twitter. This also offers Eitan & Carl a chance to talk through the plausibility of WeChat-like “super apps” in an American market.
