    TV Reviews: Springing Into a New Crop of Emmy-Contending Television

    TV Reviews: Springing Into a New Crop of Emmy-Contending Television

    This week at the Water Cooler, we’re springing (we love a pun) into the final gasp of the 2024 Emmy season. Late February / early March typically emerges as the prime window to launch television series. It allows voting members of the Television Academy to absorb newer series and keep them fresh in their minds ahead of voting in June. Believe it or not, there’s a science to launching Emmy contenders — and high-profile winners typically don’t launch in May. So, this week, we look at the latest crop of contenders including FX’s Shogun, Apple TV’s Manhunt and Palm Royale, Netflix’s Girls5Eva, and Peacock’s Apples Never Fall.

    As always we close with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

    Oscars Telecast: Taking In the Show From Home and From Inside the Dolby

    Oscars Telecast: Taking In the Show From Home and From Inside the Dolby

    We’re saying goodbye to the 2024 Oscar season this week at the Water Cooler. Megan just returned from attending the 96th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater, so we thought it would be an interesting experiment to compare experiences watching at home and watching in the room. We review the highlights and lowlights of the show and talk about the surprising day-after ratings.

    As always we close with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

    ‘The Regime:’ Will Winslet Win Another Emmy For This Divisive Political Satire?

    ‘The Regime:’ Will Winslet Win Another Emmy For This Divisive Political Satire?

    This week, we dive into the eagerly anticipated HBO limited series The Regime. Starring Kate Winslet, the Stephen Frears-directed satire takes the audience into an unnamed European country in the grasp of an unstable authoritarian regime. The series seems to have polarized both audiences and critics alike on its tone and performances, so we weigh in and take stock of its 2024 Emmy chances.

    As always we close with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

    We kick off the podcast with a look back at the weekend’s big guild awards – the Producers Guild Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. What do the winners tell us about the 2024 Emmy race? Then, we launch into our first analytical look at the 2024 Emmy season, starting with the Limited Series categories. What that has premiered so far will be remembered when Emmy voting begins in June? And what upcoming Limited Series will we need to look out for as we evolve our predictions?

Finally, Megan leads a conversation about Peacock’s Ted, a prequel (limited?) series to the 2012 film of the same name from Seth MacFarlane.

    The Claws Are Out: Grammys, ‘Argylle,’ and ‘Feud’ Duke It Out For the Cattiest Experience

    The Claws Are Out: Grammys, ‘Argylle,’ and ‘Feud’ Duke It Out For the Cattiest Experience

    We’re talking cats and swans this week at the Water Cooler but sadly without Megan. First up, Joey and Clarence briefly discuss the Grammys ceremony and the online aftermath where the claws were most definitely out. Then, we take a look at Matthew Vaughn’s latest film Argylle, featuring a bevy of stars including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Henry Cavill, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O’Hara, Bryan Cranston, and more. But do all the famous faces engaged in this trippy international spy thriller make for a fun movie?

    Finally, we dive in on Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, the latest in the limited series dedicated to famous fights in pop culture. This installment focuses on Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) as he lands on the wrong side of New York high society wives (the titular swans) played by Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Calista Flockhart, Chloë Sevigny, Demi Moore, and Molly Ringwald.

    As always we close with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
