    Episode 36: Fall TV Check-In - Designated Survivor, Pitch, This is Us and A 'Divorce' Break-up

    This week, Joanna and Sarah discuss which new TV shows they're digging, and which ones they're breaking up with. Sarah remains obsessed with Designated Survivor, whereas Joanna goes to bat for Pitch. But, they both can't quite figure out if This is Us is great, or just really manipulative. Also - Kim's Convenience is still great.

    Episode 33: Fixing 'The Girl on the Train;' Divorce, Designated Survivor, and 'Allied''s future

    This week, Joanna and Sarah talk about what they would fix about the so-so 'The Girl on the Train,' before delving into HBO's 'Divorce,' whether 'Designated Survivor' is (intentionally?) sexist, and how the Brangelina split might affect 'Allied''s Oscar campaign. Also, we love Tom Hanks. And 'That Thing You Do.' 'Kim's Convenience' talk is coming next week!
