    Apple TV's great content, 'F bombs' on late night TV, Rocky's TV series, and MORE

    Send us a text We open with the headline everyone’s talking about: Saturday Night Live host Sabrina Carpenter dropping not one but two F-bombs during her performance. Was it an accident—or marketing genius? The crew recalls when saying that word on air could end your career (see: Charles Rocket, 1980) and marvels at how little anyone seems to care now. That morphs into a look back at TV’s most shocking live moments, including the Bud Dwyer tragedy, and a reminder that some things on television really can’t be unseen. From there the discussion shifts to streaming supremacy. The consensus? Apple TV+ might quietly be the new number one. Between prestige hits like The Lost Bus, Shrinking, and Lessons in Chemistry—and now Brad Pitt’s F1 racing movie—Apple keeps outclassing competitors while HBO Max raises prices. Still, the question lingers: will F1 actually make Americans care about Formula One racing? Angelo’s doubtful, Rhea’s open-minded, and Glenn just wants to avoid another algorithm-driven flop. Naturally, that launches a Philly-centric tangent: the upcoming TV series about the making of Rocky that’s currently filming around the city. The gang debates whether Sylvester Stallone’s absence from the project is a bold move or a missed opportunity. Either way, they agree the story—and the city—deserve another moment in the spotlight. Jay’s standing question of the week then takes over: If you could make a “making-of” series about any movie, what would it be? Glenn picks Caddyshack, calling it the most chaotic comedy production ever. Rhea goes with The Birdcage, imagining the behind-the-scenes magic between Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, and Nathan Lane. The group riffs on how both films were equal parts brilliance and madness, the kind of creative chaos that just doesn’t exist anymore. Before signing off, everyone shares their weekly watchlist. Rhea recommends Maigret on PBS Masterpiece—a stylish French detective show that’s surprisingly addictive. Glenn throws in And Then There Were None on Prime Video, an elegant Agatha Christie mystery, and The Lowdown on Hulu, a gritty noir starring Ethan Hawke. Angelo ends with The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix, a body-cam-style thriller that hits hard and stays with you long after the credits roll.

    WE ARE IN PERSON: Remembering Diane Keaton, Tron: Ares, loudness of streaming commercials, and MORE

    Send us a text A moment that’s been 180 episodes in the making: the entire crew finally recording in person. We start the show with a heartfelt discussion about the passing of Diane Keaton, whose legacy sparks both nostalgia and debate. From Annie Hall to Baby Boom to Something’s Gotta Give, the crew unpacks what made her such an everywoman icon. Would a “modern Diane Keaton” even be possible in an era of Botox and CGI storytelling? We then pivot to something far less wholesome.... Jared Leto. We dissect the flop of Tron: Ares and Leto’s mysterious Hollywood staying power. How does he keep getting cast in roles? Rhea explains Leto’s insider connections at Disney, while Angelo draws parallels to other once-golden stars such as De Niro and Will Ferrell. We then get into California’s ban on overly loud streaming commercials. Is this actually good for advertisers and is there already a way to fix it with your smart TVs? We then have a conversation about bad TV mixing, over-hyped anchors, and SNL's eternally off-balance soundboard. The spouses join in..... with Christina Black and Gal Cataldi giving their takes on their partner's TV habits.  THEN: BRITISH CORNER: Rhea introduces Karen Pirie, a Scottish detective series on BritBox. How does the writing and binge-friendly episode format contribute to the show;s success?  Angelo then reviews The Lost Bus on Apple TV+. It is  raw, emotional, and, according to the crew, one of McConaughey’s best performances in years. Finally, Jay wraps things up with a quick dive into Peacemaker, discussing the incredible season finale. Carter ( Rhea's son) gives his fresh take from a Gen Z perspective.

    Taylor Swift breaks the box office, SNL reveals new cast members, 'One Battle after Another' and MORE

    Send us a text We start the show by breaking down Taylor Swift’s box office takeover. Her new concert film pulled in over $33 million this weekend—crushing The Rock’s Smashing Machine and proving, once again, that Swifties might just be single-handedly keeping theaters alive. But is this really the path to saving cinema, or is it a one-off Taylor phenomenon? This leads us into a larger discussion on whether event-style experiences—like Barbenheimer—are the only way to get people off the couch and back into theaters. We pivot to Saturday Night Live’s season premiere and its five new cast members. Has Lorne Michaels officially hit the creative wall after 50 years? This leads us into a debate on whether SNL’s problem is the cast, the writing, or simply a show refusing to admit it’s run out of things to say. Angelo then gives his take on 'One Battle After Another'. Does he agree that it is as much of a cinematic masterpiece as Jay thinks it is? THEN: BRITISH CORNER: Rhea reviews season four Apple TV’s Slow Horses. Why does Rhea think the show is so "smooth" How does the pacing of the show contribute to her review? Angelo follows up with his review of Netflix’s Black Rabbit, starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law. Then, in response to Jay's movie recommendation last week, Angelo recommends a old time movie to remember what real storytelling looks like. What makes that older film feel more human, more emotional, and—frankly—more watchable than a $150 million modern epic like ' One Battle After Another'. We wrap up with one big question: Is Jay a cinematic visionary… or just a man who spent $15 to watch elephant poop on the big screen? Either way, tune in next week to find out who’s right—and whether SNL finally finds a punchline.

    HBO's 'Task', Kimmel-Colbert simulcast, does screen size matter? and MORE

    Send us a text We start the show by giving our thoughts on HBO’s ‘Task’. From the same creators of “Mayor of Kingstown’, how do feel it matches up against the long running HBO franchise? This leads us into a discussion as to whether we grade shows differently based on if we know the area it takes place in. Kimmel and Colbert had a joint simulcast on each other shows the other night. This leads us into a discussion about the overwhelming uproar on Kimmel and Colbert‘s suspensions. From our conversation last episode, is the recent Jimmy Kimmel situation (and the outcry that occurred from it) a clear indication that the first amendment is here to stay due to the self policing by the American people? Likewise, whatever happened to the late night host hating each other? Do we miss this and, most importantly, do we want it back? Despite filming not finished, Christopher Nolan’s new movie, The Odyssey, has already has begun selling out in IMAX theaters across the country. This leads us into a short discussion on whether the screen size affects our movie going experiences. Are movies being made today even worth seeing in bigger screens, such as IMAX? Our answers might surprise you. THEN: British Corner. Rhea reviews the sixth season of ‘Unforgotten’ on Acorn. As one of her favorite British shows of all time, why did she wait until the whole season came out to review it? What does this have to say about how Acorn, and British shows as a whole, release their content? Why is this murder mystery, in particularly this season, so intriguing and such a must watch in Rhea’s eyes? Angelo reviews Netflix’s 'Black Rabbit'. What about Jason Bateman‘s performance in this show makes it a must watch? He also give a cliff hanger for a British Rom- Com for Rhea to review next week. Jay finishes up the show by giving us, what he believes, is the best movie of this decade. What movie is it and why must you go see it this weekend? How does the director play into this glowing review? LISTEN NOW to stay up to date on all you need to know regarding the latest and greatest in television and the big screens.

    The state of the first amendment, Jimmy Kimmel returns, and MORE

    Send us a text We start the show with a heartfelt message regarding the Jimmy Kimmel situation and the current state of the first amendment in our country. We dive more into the details of the situation, the first amendment as a whole, and give our thoughts and opinions on the situation. We then get into Jimmy Kimmel's return itself. His opening monologue, statements, etc. Are we more impressed by what he DID NOT say than by what he did say? We then get into which prominent figures stood up on the issue and who didn't. Lastly, we answer the hardest question of them all. Where where do we go from here? We then switch to a more lighthearted subject……BRITISH CORNER: Rhea reviews the dark mystery series ‘The Crow Girl’ on Acorn . What makes this show so “layered”? Angelo finishes the show with a recommendation of his own, the Netflix documentary ‘aka Charlie Sheen’. Will this documentary give you a different view of the controversial actor?

    Emmys recap, Paramount might buy Warner Bros, and MORE

    Send us a text We start by giving our thoughts on the Emmys. The ‘The Studio’ wins big on Sunday night. What made this show perform so well? As a show that highlights show business, is this an example of "navel gazing" or something more. Then….. Nate Bargatze did not prep for the big night. Do we agree with this? Do we think he was a good choice to be host? What were our thoughts on the acceptance speeches at the Emmys? We break down everything from the timer to the role of politics in the speeches. Lastly, Noah Wyle was another big winner, closing a major gap from his last Emmy nomination from his time in E.R 26 years ago. With this nomination, Jay breaks down the top 5 list of actors with the widest gaps in Emmy history. Paramount owners are considering purchasing Warner Brothers and HBO, combining the two entities. Do we think this is good for the industry? What could this new merger look like and what will it mean for its consumers? THEN: British Corner. Rhea tells us why we should be watching the remastering of ‘The Inspector Lynley Mysteries’ on BritBox. What made her revisit this old time show after all these years? NEXT: Angelo reviews the second season of “Platonic” ( Apple TV), and “The Girlfriend" (Prime). Which one is he on the fence about and why? Jay finishes the show by giving a nod to the new platform for famous TV critic, Alan Sepinwal. https://alansepinwall.ghost.io/ LISTEN NOW to stay up to date on all you need to know regarding the latest and greatest in television and the big screens.

    The current state of NFL broadcasters, great shows that never won an Emmy, lack of deals for current subscribers, and more

    Send us a text We start with NBC's disappointing coverage of this week’s Sunday Night Football game and the handling of the weather delay. We criticize the lack of preparation by sports broadcasters, and compare past incidents like the 2013 Super Bowl blackout. This then leads into the debate on the current state of NFL commentators as a whole. Who do we like? Who do we not like? What is the impact of star commentators like Tony Romo and Tom Brady? We finish our football talk discussing the insertion of ads into the NFL Red Zone. We highlight IMBDs list of their 250 user rated shows. Specifically, we compare this list to shows that have never won an Emmy. Which shows from the list never won the coveted award? We then get into the discussion of businesses ( namely subscription services) offering better deals to new customers/subscribers than current customers/subscribers? Is this right? What do businesses operate this way? THEN: BRITISH CORNER: Rhea reviews season 2 of ‘The Marlow Murder Club’ on PBS. Having previously reviewed season 1, what made her come back for season 2? How does Rhea feel this season compares to the last? Angelo and Jay finish the show by giving their thoughts on the season finale of ‘Dexter Resurrection’, 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox' (both on Hulu) and the book ‘All About Me!: My Remarkable Life in Show Business’ showcasing behind the scenes stories and thoughts about the career of Mel Brooks.
