    Lights Out For Nocturne?

    The latest Nordic noir property to get an adaptation set in a majority English-speaking country is Apple’s Nocturne, about a serial killer preying on a small town in Pennsylvania. Is this jawn YOU need to investigate? The Hollywood Reporter TV critic Angie Han joins us for the first time to talk about it. Around The Dial takes us through S02 of The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins, It Gets Worse, and Quincy, M.E. Dave pitches the third episode of Scavengers Reign for induction into The Canon. Then, after naming the week’s Winner and Loser, we close up with a killer Non-Regulation Game Time. Grab your drip coffee with milk from a cow and listen!

    X: Should The Mob Sleep With The Fishes?

    Everyone wants in on the success of Traitors, which is based on a game called "Mafia"...which the "creative" team behind The Mob took literally, but except for all the cute(sy) nods to other Cosa Nostra properties and a VERY few contestants, the show doesn't work. We answered your burning questions about Rocky Horror and the murder of Liberty Biberty; Dave saluted 30 Rock's "Generalissimo" as a Tiny Canon pitch; and we named our Not Quite Winners And Losers for this week before boarding The Love Boat for Kim's Most Awesome Thing. To wrap things up, Listener Game Time twirled to the end of the month. Throw on the cheapest pinstriped suit you can find and have a listen! EPISODE NOTES https://extrahotgreat.com/eehg-436/

    Did We Love, Honor, And Cherish Newlyweds?

    After falling in love playing spouses in Madam Secretary, Tim Daly and Téa Leoni are co-stars again in Newlyweds, a multi-cam sitcom on NBC co-created by Jamie Lee Curtis (who also plays Daly’s character’s obnoxious ex-wife); we tell you whether it made us want to run off to Vegas and marry it, or run off to Norway, where it presumably does not air. Around The Dial clicks through S03 of Nobody Wants This and Netflix’s Tyson. Tara pitches the Girls episode “Flo” for induction into The Canon. Then, after crowning the week’s Winner and Loser, we close up with a Non-Regulation Game Time that’s NOT TV: it’s HBO. Settle in to your ex-husband’s hot tub and listen!

    X: Real Talk About Phony

    In Phony, Sonny (Sam Nivola) wakes up after a car accident convinced that his beloved mother Ellen (Connie Britton) has been replaced with an impostor; we tell you whether we were interested in watching her fake it 'til she makes it. Ask EHG requires us, among other things, to pitch the WORST possible roles to cast Joel McHale in and share the petty curses we would like to bestow upon our enemies. Tara pitches The Late Show With David Letterman’s 1996 Halloween costume segment for the Tiny Holiday Programming Canon. Then, after we name our Not Quite Winners and Losers of the week, we close things up with a Listener Game Time that kicks the (tin) can. Enjoy it all on your next Costco run!

    Making Some Cutting Remarks About Crystal Lake

    Did we need a Friday The 13th prequel? Probably not — and Dan Rogge returns to analyze why we may not need this particular prequel. Is the ratio of squishy kills to meditations on grief incorrect? Did it need fewer episodes and more murderous bears? Is it for fans of the franchise, or very much not for them? We went Around The Dial with a “Squid Jaws” update, the 9-1-1s, Matchbox: The Movie: The Car, and The Good Wife before Dave programmed a Canon pitch for Look Around You‘s episode on computers. Scott Bakula (bluh) won, Mary CAROLE McDonnell lost, and we gave theme songs a spin in Game Time. Take a break from woodland-charcuterie prep and have a listen.

    X: High On The Lowdown's Next Chapter

    Sterlin Harjo’s Reservation Dogs follow-up The Lowdown has returned for a second season on FX, bringing protagonist Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke) into contact with Tulsa public defender Ginger Lafferty (Betty Gilpin), among…many other world-class character actors new to the guest cast; we tell you why this one is just as unmissable as the first season was. Ask EHG requires us to list all the streaming services we subscribe to and the shortest length of time we lasted at a job. Sarah pitches a Ken Cosgrove performance for the Tiny Dance Break Canon. We name the week’s Not Quite Winners And Losers. Kari Race tells us about a Halloween episode of Jem. We close things up with a Listener Game Time that hits all the right notes.

    Should Cupertino Get Another Round Of Funding?

    The Kings are back on network TV with Cupertino, which basically transplants the signature qualities of the Good Wife-verse to Silicon Valley — and Margaret H. Willison is back to talk about whether that’s a good choice, the cameos we’re looking forward to, and how the show can loop other storylines into a tech-forward plot brief. We went Around The Dial with Below, Love Is Blind‘s Boston season, GBBO‘s audience episode, and Kill. Bury. Print., and Margaret hoped we’d crown an episode of the original King show, The Good Wife, for the Canon. Nicolas Cage won, Kelly Clarkson lost, and we tried to guess which hosts had the most (acting experience) in Game Time. Build yourself a hallway to the EHG conference room and join us!

    X: Adding Carrie To Our Bucket Lists

    Mike Flanagan of The Haunting Of Hill House has brought classic horror IP Carrie into the 21st century, and we're talking about whether it works (menstrual strat aside). We answered your Ask EHG questions about the cars that would eulogize us and shows we watch for the settings, and Dave gave us a tight five as his Tiny Funeral Canon pitch. We named our Not Quite Winners And Losers, and your fellow listeners competed for TV-trivia glory in Listener Game Time. Sew yourself up a chic sheet outfit and join us.
