We begin this week's episode with some spoiler-free thoughts for those considering watching the new Amazon Prime Video series The Consultant, which stars Christoph Waltz (2:58). From there, we have different ideas on the film Tár, which is now streaming on Peacock and in the running for a few Academy Awards (6:23). After the break, some of us more than others are excited for the new season of the HBO show Perry Mason (25:42). To wrap, we give brief thoughts on the sixth episode, "Kin," from the HBO show The Last of Us (26:37).
