Ignore the weak title and marketing that tells you nothing about this new TV show on FX/Hulu - the show is really good. It's a difficult show to market - because what's great about it is really in the details of the execution. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, the pilot is directed by the directing team from Little Miss Sunshine, and features a witty, funny, modern take on re-entering the dating world as a divorced man (with kids). This is a low-concept show that manages to somehow feel relatable and accessible despite being about super-rich people (they make fun of Jesse Eisenberg for being "only" a doctor). Unexpectedly risque as well, at least from the pilot, this is almost like Sex In The City starring Jesse Eisenberg, and is about as funny and awkward as that description would suggest. Really curious to hear what you think of this one.

Apple+ brings their usual carte blanche budget production value and stellar ensemble of actors to this new military thriller series starring Michiel Huisman and Luke Evans, from Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty, Triple Frontier). Well-written, well-acted, well-directed, this is familiar genre material executed at a high level. Recommended for fans of the genre.

An under-the-radar gem for those with off-kilter taste, the sci-fi film Dual is currently streaming on Hulu. Karen Gillan stars as a woman who commissions a clone of herself she must later try to kill when the clone threatens to take over her life. Riley Stearns has been making critically acclaimed indie movies for years now (Faults, The Art of Self-Defense) and this film clearly demonstrates a unique authorial voice with its bizarre but very engaging and effective tone. Pete Abeyta of the Middle Class Film Class podcast joins the show to discuss his pick for what to watch tonight (which I loved). You can follow Pete @TheRealPeeeete on Twitter, and find the Middle Class Film Class podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts (also on Facebook at Facebook.com/mcfcpodcast).

To give you something you can't get elsewhere, I tracked down the screenplay for Training Day, and this episode, I bring you the most interesting things in the script for Training Day that were not in the final film. Did you know Jake was from Santa Clarita? And that his parents were junkies? And that there was an alternate ending, at Jake's house? Training Day is an all-time classic, and I found some intriguing nuggets that are just as good as the movie which were cut from the final film. Leave us a five-star rating if you're enjoying the podcast, and thanks for listening.

A worthy successor to Lost. It only took 18 years. Seriously, 1899 is that rare combination of a great, spooky, intriguing premise, with a diverse, complex, ensemble cast, and an anything-goes sensibility that makes every turn of the plot more deliciously exciting. I love this show. Shout it from the rooftops (it's already #1 on Netflix). This is your new binge-worthy TV series.

The gateway drug to Korea cinema. One of my favorite films of all time. By one of the leaders of Korea cinema (Park Chan-Wook) and starring one of its most accomplished actors (Choi Min-Sik). Includes incredible displays of cinematography, a haunting score, and one of the all-time WTF endings in film history. If you enjoy this film, check out the other films of Park Chan-Wook and other Korean superstar filmmakers like Bong Joon-Ho and Na Hong-Jin).

Continuing their winning streak, Hulu has another really funny half-hour comedy series, with This Fool. A simple but winning premise (straight-laced man who works in ex-con rehabilitation takes in his ex-con cousin), clever writing, and good-natured humor incorporating Latino culture. This and Reboot are two winners in half-hour comedy, and both are available now on Hulu.

There was no way I wasn't going to do an episode on Tulsa King. I have been excitedly awaiting this show since it was announced - Terry Winter (The Sopranos) and Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown) working together on a show about a mobster starting over in Tulsa, starring Sylvester Stallone? How could this NOT work? Well... it breaks my heart to say, there are some issues. There's so much talent involved that this show is worth discussing, debating, and I'd love to hear what YOU think of it.

Recent events in California gambling have shown that the film Casino is not out of date. This movie, an unlikely cable TV all-star (how many times did this air on TNT? 10,000 times?) is one I understand more as I get older, particularly in regard to DeNiro's terrible bet on Sharon Stone's character (justice for Ginger? I find myself empathizing with her more and more on revisiting of the film). Pesci, Scorsese, DeNiro, Stone - this film is often considered the more minor entry in Scorsese's gangster oeuvre but I've watched it more times than any of his other films.
