    Horror on Tubi, a new 'Beef' and a shift change at 'The Pitt'

    Tubi or not Tubi? The streaming platform has found an interesting niche of programs, often starring social media influencers. One of the latest programs to drop is "Hive," a horror film featuring "Dancing with the Stars" winner Xochitl Gomez and Aaron Dominguez. Co-host Bruce Miller catches up with the pair. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then discuss the latest streaming programs: "Half Man" is a new HBO series from Richard Gadd, who found success with his breakout Netflix limited series "Baby Reindeer." Andie MacDowell is back with the fourth season of the Netflix series "The Way Home." And following the success of the Netflix limited series "Beef," the show has since become an anthology series with a new cast featuring Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan. They co-starred in the movie "Inside Llewyn Davis." The question is whether they can find the same chemistry. Finally, be prepared to hit pause and finish "The Pitt" if you haven't already. The final hour of season two has aired, and we have a spoiler-filled conversation about how things ended and what might be next for the cast.

    'The Testaments' brings viewers back to Gilead. Is it too soon?

    The final season of "The Handmaid's Tale" wrapped less than a year ago, yet here we are, back inside Gilead. "The Testaments," Hulu's spinoff series based on Margaret Atwood's second novel of the same name, takes viewers several years past the events of the final season. The red cloaks of handmaids are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we follow Plum Girls and Pearl Girls as a new generation of young women navigates this dystopian future, in a show starring Chase Infiniti as Agnes MacKenzie/Hannah Bankole. Infiniti is coming off her starring performance in the Oscar-winning "One Battle After Another." In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with Mattea Conforti (Becka Grove) and Rowan Blanchard (Shunammite), two of the new cast members, who share their thoughts on the current and former series. Additionally, co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the new seasons of "For All Mankind" and "Shrinking," the new film "Project Hail Mary," and AMC's switch from the annual popcorn bucket to its new Popcorn Pass.

    'For All Mankind' continues to expand on an alternate history

    Have you ever wondered how differently your life might have been had you made a different decision? AppleTV+ continues to offer an alternative to the 1960s space race, had the Soviets landed on the moon first through "For All Mankind," now in its fifth season.
