Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Primetime and just what a weird movie experience it is.  Both Jay and Angelo liked it, but less as a telling of Chris Hanson's life, and more for Robert Pattinson's stellar performance and the weird, horror flourishes that the movie takes in the last third. This leads to a discussion about Gen Z and their love of horror and why that might be.

THEN, it's a discussion of the ghoulish new Willy Wonka gameshow and how it is using Gene Wilder's AI voice to host it.  Angelo thinks that's just fine, but Rhea and Jay have their reservations.

All that PLUS: The time Kelly Ripa's dad wanted to punch Jay, teenyboppers who went on to make it big, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the premier episode of SNL and the fact that Jalen Brunson will be hosting.  Lorne Michaels has said that the best non-actors to host the show are usually athletes, because they know how to perform under pressure, but that doesn't pass the sniff test so far as Angelo is concerned.  To his mind, there are only THREE athletes who were ever good on that show... can you make a guess as to which three?

THEN, Donald Trump has had a contentious relationship with the press and the gang discusses their own issues covering sports in a town that's fanatical about them, and how hard it is to maintain the integrity of the first amendment while dealing with players and owners who have issues about what you've said in the past.  

ALL THAT PLUS: Slow Horses, OJ Simpson, the best show of the 21st century, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea and Jay are BACK to discuss a lackluster Emmys that seemingly had only ONE breakout moment with John Mulaney’s hilarious introduction to the Best Actor in a Drama category. Ratings were down huge and the gang discusses whether the awards show is dead.

THEN: sideline reporters seem to have only one mandate: look good and find out next to ZERO information. Do they still have a place on TV? Did they ever?

All that PLUS: Primetime, British Corner, Tony, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are BACK to discuss the new Betr commercial that stars Jeremy Piven and Adrian Grenier as characters that are exactly like Ari Gold and Vincent Chase who, for legal reasons, can't actually be called by those names.  The creator of Entourage, Doug Ellin went onto Twitter to vent his frustration at characters that he created being used without his permission and the gang discusses the ethics of who owns TV characters 20-something years after their cultural moment.

THEN, our fans are MAD at us for disliking Coyote vs. Acme.  Jay reads the email and then Angelo gives his verdict: was the movie good or not!?

All that PLUS Nathan Fielder's surprise new movie, a review of The Preacher's Wife, British corner, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss a guy who they've all interacted with at various points: Howard Stern. Angelo and Rhea used to compete against him in the Philadelphia market, and Jay used to write for him.  Now comes word that he's taking what's left of his Sirius/XM show and turning it into a TV show on HBOMax and the gang is split on whether this is a good idea.

THEN: Jay has seen Coyote vs. Acme and, uh... could David Zaslav have been right, actually?  The man who loves everything found it to be a slog, and the gang discusses whether the rapturous reviews might be because of hate for Zaslav than they are love for the movie.

ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, Untold, the most consistent TV series of all time, and much MUCH more!

Angelo is BACK to join Rhea and Jay for a discussion about Dolly Parton's legacy and about how her rise to fame took place at a very particular place in TV history that could never be replicated today.

THEN, the gang discusses Coyote v. Acme, the new movie... from 2022, rescued from the clutches of podcast villain, David Zaslov.  The question?  When suits try to stifle creativity, do we, as a viewing audience, have a moral obligation to support the work of those creatives?

ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, a review of Lanterns, the controversial new ADHD documentary, and much MUCH more...

As promised in the episode: Dolly Parton on Johnny Carson

Angelo is on assignment, so it’s only Jay and Rhea this week to discuss the new inductees to the TV Hall of Fame. But what’s MORE interesting is the people NOT in the Hall… Jerry Seinfeld, Tina Fey, and… DAVID LETTERMAN?! How is that POSSIBLE?!

THEN: Nielsen has revealed the top 20 most streamed shows of 2026 and, like, half of them are OLD SHOWS.  Why are people uninterested in “Prestige TV” in favor of reruns of Friends?

ALL THAT PLUS: British Corner, more on Ted Lasso, the new Beatles biopic, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss a truly bizarre story. Jessie Cave played a significant role in the Harry Potter movies and she recently revealed that she made more money on an adult website in one year than she did in her entire time in the movies.  She joined Drea DeMateo and Jamie Presley, both doing the same thing as her. The gang discusses whether this is empowerment or a sign that there’s less money in acting than we thought (or both!)

THEN: Ricky Gervais and Will Ferrell both have shows getting torn apart by the critics… do successful comedians eventually get too rich to be able to relate to their audiences?

ALL THAT PLUS: Ted Lasso, David Zaslov, Pan Am, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to talk about Spider-Man’s absolutely earth-shattering box office and whether or not it deserves all that attention. Rhea has seen it and has a review!

Then: it’s the results of our “pick a show for the other two to watch” experiment and the results… aren’t pretty. In retrospect maybe Jay should have reconsidered his Rick and Morty choice!

All that PLUS: British corner, Hawai’i, Angelo strikes out, and much MUCH more!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to make ALL of the money this weekend, just a few days removed from The Odyssey also making ALL of the money. Both movies star Tom Holland and Zendaya, but what’s amazing is that while the entire world is convinced Zendaya is a capital-M MOVIE STAR, the jury is still out on Tom Holland. The gang discusses why that might be and what it is that differentiates a good actor from a star.

THEN: LeBron James is coming to The Sixers, which inspires Angelo, Rhea, and Jay to discuss shows that had a character addition late in their run that sparked it to new heights.

ALL THAT PLUS: British corner, our favorite suggestions, a review of The Odyssey and much MUCH more!
