This was ALMOST an emergency pod: Angelo, Rhea, and Jay discuss the implications of the huge mega-merger of Paramount/Skydance and Warner Bros/Discovery, a union that will leave the new entity with EIGHTY BILLION WITH A B dollars in debt.  Can it survive?  Should it survive?  And what does it mean for all our favorite shows?

THEN, Scrubs is back, and it's good, actually.  The gang discusses other successful reboots, and of course, Jay's choice is one that Rhea and Angelo would've NEVER considered.

ALL THAT PLUS: British Corner, A new Gordon Ramsay Doc, and much MUCH More!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the complete debacle of the BAFTAs, where a man with Tourette’s Syndrome screamed a slur during Michael B. Jordan’s time on stage and the powers that be DID NOT edit it out for broadcast. What could possibly be their thinking in this disastrous decision?  The gang is baffled but do their best to get to the bottom of it.

THEN Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show has done something very rare in today’s TV landscape: added viewers and young ones at that. Angelo and Jay wax poetic about Stewart’s unique abilities and then Rhea discusses if TDS is an aberration or whether young people don’t care about watching someone older so long as the talent is there.

ALL THAT PLUS: F1 on IMAX, a forgotten Rob Reiner gem, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Rose Byrne's phenomenal performance in the otherwise pretty terrible If I Had Legs I Would Kick You, and discuss the long legacy of great actors giving great performances in lousy movies.

THEN, Bill Lawrence has a new show coming out called Rooster, and the internet seems divided between excitement for a new show from the creator of Shrinking and Ted Lasso, and frustration that it looks like another show filled with his signature breezy schmaltz.  The gang talks about show creators who have an identifiable style and whether or not those styles can get grating.

ALL THAT PLUS: shows like Heated Rivalry that we just can't seem to get people to watch, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, whether or not Michael Corleone was hot, and much, MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the biggest controversy in TV this week: which Super Bowl halftime show to watch.  Now that everything is political, what singers we enjoy with our nachos has to be political too.  The gang discusses which performance was better and where the halftime show should go from here.

THEN: Piracy is back, with sales of the "superbox", a device you attach to your TV that allows access to all the streaming sites for free, booming.  Are the people who buy the superbox just thieves?  Or did the streamers price themselves into this situation and are getting what they deserve?

ALL THAT PLUS: Brandon Sanderson, British TV, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the NFL's dominating ratings through the regular season and the playoffs...right up to the Conference Championships, which were down around 7%.  Will the lack of a big market team mean the ratings slide will continue or was it a momentary drop due to the bad weather last week?  

THEN, the gang talks about Markiplier's Iron Lung, a movie that he self-funded, self-distributed, directed, starred-in, produced, edited, and probably did the Craft Services on.  It made a staggering $21 million at the box office this past weekend, and maybe just created a new paradigm for movies going forward.

All that, PLUS: the canceled British series Press, the documentary Mel Brooks: The 99-Year-Old Man, a review off the Marvel series Wonder Man and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the brand new Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy, and only one of them is really happy about it (hint: he's a huge nerd!). Is Academy the "Nu Trek" show worthy of the title of the new TNG?

THEN, the gang discusses Jimmy Kimmel's unprecedented shift from comedy to politics, something that late night has never really seen before.  Whether or not it's persuasive, it's certainly courageous!

All that PLUS: a review of Press on Amazon Prime, a discussion of the best TV Duos of all time, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the hottest new show on TV: Heated Rivalry and the bump in ratings that the NHL is seeing because of it.  Would a popular show about a sport make you interested in seeing that sport?

THEN, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck went on Joe Rogan's podcast... and it was good!?  How did that happen?  The gang discusses just how well the lifelong friends are able to break down the movie business and how good Joe Rogan can be when he gets out of his own way.

All that, PLUS, a review of Hijack season 2, a discussion of Netflix's "repeat the plot" rule, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss Sunday's Golden Globes and whether or not people actually care about awards shows anymore.  Other than One Battle After Another winning (thereby vindicating Jay), Sean Penn smoking, and Nikki Glaser's monologue, was there a single reason to watch?

Then, is a discussion of streamflation -- streaming prices jumped 20% in 2025 and at what point do we say "enough?"  What streamer is on the brink of cancellation for you?

All that, PLUS, a Harlan Corben mystery, a review of The Apartment from Keane Black, Pluribus's astounding ratings, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss whether or not there is a SECRET 9th episode of Stranger Things and what makes for a good final episode of a show.  Were things better in the old days when shows would just... end?

THEN, there's a new Chevy Chase documentary on CNN and whoooo boy, does he come off as bad in it.  The gang discusses the documentary, jerks in Hollywood, and where, exactly, the line is when it comes to no longer supporting a star.

All that PLUS: a reviews Night Sleeper, Boo-Ya, Stranger Things, and much MUCH more!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay take a look back at 2025 and pick out the best and worst shows of the year.  If you were looking for something to binge this New Years, they've got you covered!

THEN: Stranger Things is having an all-time run when it comes to interest and buzz this holiday season, with two volumes dropped a few weeks a part, and a finale that's set to air on New Year's Eve that has already sold out in theaters around the country.  Is this the future of how TV is going to be aired?

All that PLUS: The Top Five British Shows of the Year, a review of Marty Supreme, and much MUCH more!
