    X: Traveling To Blue Mountain State

    Lingonberry threw a Hail Mary for this month's Forcening -- an episode of Blue Mountain State featuring Reacher and crotch shots. Did the panel think it was a wiener? We answered your questions about superstitions and public-domain Netflix pitches; Tara took a deep dive into Mianus culture for the Tiny Sketch Canon, and we listed farty UK show titles and controversial TV portraits. Then Sarah boldly went to the far corners of the IMDb for a ST: TOS Game Time. Unhand that Jack Russell terrier and hit play on an all-new EEHG! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-409/

  3. X: Going Undercover With Legends

    X: Going Undercover With Legends

    Margaret Thatcher needed a win; British Customs needed to infiltrate a heroin ring to give it to her; do YOU need to watch Legends, on the regular-guy and -gal agents assigned to the operation? We discuss process, pacing, Steve Coogan's dramatic chops, and great needle drops. Ask EHG asks what's in our wallets and which famous TV robots need guest-star gigs, plus our Oreo preferences. Tara wants to know whether her commercial pitch for the Tiny Canon is a headliner. We listed Not Quite 11 bad 1950s show titles and recast roles for John Legend, and Stephanie Early Green screened The Real Housewives Of Rhode Island before the panel power-ranked the top cast of Family Ties.

    Lake Diving, Squid Battling, And Avocado Peeling

    Two past and future EHG guests and one listener are showcased in this special episode. First, the good: Mlle. Caroline's pitch for the fourth episode of BBC's 1995 Pride & Prejudice, and Dan Cassino deep (sea) dive on Iron Chef's "Squid Battle." Bringing up the rear is Wendy's Nonac pitch for The Great British Bake Off's infamous "Mexican Week." Warning: might make you hungry for a giant ham, squid pizza, and "TACK-os."

    X: Ferrying You To Widow's Bay

    AppleTV's newest dramedy pairs The Heat screenwriter Katie Dippold with Matthew Rhys as the beleaguered mayor of a dying island town; we tell you whether you should book your stay at the creepy local inn. Ask EHG invites us to share, among other things, which current show desperately needs a zombie apocalypse and the words we find aesthetically pleasing. Sarah pitches Omar Little's first rendition of "The Farmer In The Dell" from The Wire for the Tiny Whistling Canon. We name the week's Not Quite Winners And Losers. Finally, we end on our picks for the Sky Mall gifts our favorite TV characters most need to receive. Settle in to your table at The Salty Whale and join us!

  6. Sitting Center Court For Running Point

    APR 29

    Sitting Center Court For Running Point

    Krystal Farmer helps us keep turning EHG into a hoops pod by coming back to talk about Running Point's second season: why it works, what it (perhaps wisely?) hand-waves, whose idea it was to cast such short kings as NBA players, and whether a certain former WB heartthrob is getting a back-door NHL pilot. We went Around The Dial with Call The Midwife, a Jerry West documentary, and Killing Grounds: The Gilgo Beach Murders before Julie did a song-and-dance routine on behalf of a final-season Mad Men episode for the Canon. Good reporting won, a bad Housewife lost, and Game Time once again asked us to guess the horny hearts of the average IMDb user. Was there a buzzer-beater? You'll have to listen to find out.

    X: Does Columbo's Mind Over Mayhem Compute?

    Once a month, Club members get to pick what we watch, and this time Monty's submission came up: "Mind Over Mayhem," a Columbo episode revolving around a think tank and featuring a very recognizable robot (or, as Jose Ferrer's Dr. Cahill calls it, "RO-butt"). Listen to find out whether it gave us a lot to think about, or tanked. We'll go ahead and own it: Ask EHG has a theme this week. Dave pitches Pachinko S01 for the Tiny Unskippable Credits Canon. We name a handful of Not Quite Winners And Losers. Kim tells us why the first-ever Battle Of The Network Stars was The Most Awesome Thing She Watched On TV This Week. And we end on an Extra Credit topic straight from the deck of the Pacific Princess herself. Power down YOUR MM7 and join us! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-406/

  8. Is Beef Season 2 A Prime Cut?

    APR 22

    Is Beef Season 2 A Prime Cut?

    Beef has returned with more than twice the beefs (or beeves, if you will); Phillip Maciak has also returned to talk about whether it still sizzles. Around The Dial takes us through S05 of The Boys, Saturday Night Live, and Untold: Jail Blazers. Phillip pitches the New Girl episode "Normal" for induction into The Canon. And we close things up with the Winner and Loser of the week, skipping Game Time out of respect for Dave's frail constitution. Slather up with some of that fancy Korean sunscreen and listen!
