Tara: [2:12] Thank you so much to everyone joining us. He is a professor and a poet you've heard with us many times. It's Robert Crott. And he knows it. Dave: [2:20] Yay! Sarah: [2:21] Woo! Bobby: [2:22] Thanks for having me. You always make me feel so fancy when you introduce me, so thank you very much. Tara: [2:28] We are here to get your suggestions and, of course, all of ours for the summer TV preview. We are going to do this the way we always do. Everyone is going to go around with something they're into. Next category is something you should be into but aren't. Something no one should be into in our opinions. And finally, good for you, which is the more for you, not interested but not mad. Basically, right? This is your edition. Dave: [2:57] That's right. More for you. Tara: [2:59] Yes. Dave: [2:59] Happy that you can enjoy this. Keep me out of it, please. Tara: [3:02] Very much. Dave: [3:03] AKA the Doctor Who category. Tara: [3:04] There it is. Not applicable in this round, but you know, it's always lurking around the corner. Dave: [3:10] It sure is. Tara: [3:11] That's what he does. Dave: [3:12] Yep. Tara: [3:14] Let's go around. We'll go in first initial alpha order. So Bobby, that means you're up first. We're going to go by your nickname. Bobby, what are you into watching this summer? Bobby: [3:28] Well, strangely, I actually, you know, looking at the list, there was something I was excited about. But even before that, when you emailed me about being on, I was all excited, rubbing my hands together because I thought the new Sterling Harjo show, The Lowdown, was coming on over the summer. And then I saw it falls right outside of summer. So I had to recalibrate. And then I found that FX has another show coming on that I am actually excited about, which is the Alien Earth show. Yes. I am somebody who thinks that Alien didn't need any sequels. It's kind of one of those franchises that just kept spiraling out into nothing. I mean, by the time it was Alien Covenant after Prometheus, I thought, I'm washing my hands of this and not watching anymore. But that being said, Noah Hawley, who did Fargo and Legion, is doing this new series. And I thought the last season of Fargo was one of the best, if not the best, in the top two or three. So I'm excited to see what he does with this. And I just watched the trailer this week and I was like a kid staring at the screen. So this could be the show that convinces me that there's a reason for all these alien spinoffs and looks pretty great. Looks very good to me. Dave: [4:35] What I like about that guy, the show creator, is that he's so up his own ass 100% of the time that sometimes it actually yields good results. He's like the rare exception to him. Like, oh my God, this guy. Like sometimes, not all the time, But sometimes he really provides, he really delivers. And this feels like it might be good. Timothy Oliphant's hair aside, which every time I see it in a trailer or whatever, I'm like, is that what they meant it to be? Like, I know it's supposed to be unique and stand out, but it does in a way that I feel Wig Cop's head will explode four times every time she sees it. Tara, thoughts? Tara: [5:12] I actually haven't seen the trailer yet, but I did have this in my category of should be into, but I'm not. I just think he's, I'm the opposite of you, Dave. I think Noah Hawley is so full of shit. Dave: [5:24] Yeah, okay. Tara: [5:24] I hope to be wrong. I'm sure we'll talk about it on the podcast. I hope for Bobby's sake that I'm wrong about this and that this is one of the times he pulls it out, like Fargo seasons one and two style. Dave: [5:37] I had that on my list as well. So I'll tag on with Bobby on alien earth. And then I had three others. So the one I'm actually going to pick just because I find it the most unique, something I haven't seen before. And I'm saying this with like all the asterisks and caveats in the world because it's on Apple TV. And we know that usually means, but I think this being a historical drama might actually be okay on Apple TV. and that's Chief of War with Jason Momoa. It's the story of warring Hawaiian factions of late 18th century, I think, when Kamehameha is trying to unify everybody and everybody's like, I don't know. And then he's one of the leaders of one of the four kingdoms. And it looks appropriately epic, but the question will be, will it have teeth? A show like this could go either way on Apple TV. So hopefully it'll be what it needs to be. Tough, hard bite, but we'll see. But I find the premise intriguing. I find it's something we really haven't seen on screen before. It's a story we don't hear about a lot here. But, you know, having lived in Hawaii, I kind of know it. So I'm intrigued about what they're going to do with it. Tara: [6:50] All right. Sarah. Sarah: [6:52] I stuck mostly to true stories, even if they were scripted. And that is my pick for the one that I'm into. unspeakable, colon, the murder of John Penney Ramsey. I have case fatigue as badly as anyone with this case, but this is really stellar casting. Melissa McCarthy as Patsy Ramsey is genius, honestly. The rest of the cast is really smart as well. There's a case figure, the DA, John Eller, who was known as sort of like a hippie socks with sandals type. And playing that role is Rory Cochran of Dazed and Confused, which- Perfect. Shed's kiss. The director does have experience in the genre. Very British Scandal, the Claire Foy season. I'm hoping that this can do something new with the case. Slight, like a couple of points off in the hope department because it's on Paramount Plus. And sometimes that stuff can just get watered down or like the Waco project that they did. I had such high hopes. And then it just had no momentum at all. There is no premiere date at this writing, but they say it is the summer. So I'm guessing it's probably mid-August. And again, Paramount Plus, unspeakable. Tara: [8:09] I didn't have anything new in this category. They're all returning shows that I'm into, but I'm going to highlight first and foremost, the one that I think is probably the least known and deserves it the most. And that is season two of Platonic. It's coming to Apple TV Plus on August 6th. We brought this up last week when we were talking to Taylor about the studio, because this is the other Seth Rogen Apple TV Plus show. He plays, oh my God, why can't, Will. He plays Will. Rose Byrne plays Sylvia. They are friends from college who are now in their late 30s, early 40s, and they lost touch years ago when Will married someone that Sylvia didn't like and said so. And as soon as she finds out that they're getting divorced, she sends them a text like, hey, we should reconnect. And they do, and it doesn't go great. And then they try again, and it goes super great, like maybe too great, but not the way you think. It's basically about the two of them being chaos friends who support each other's worst impulses all the time. So if you like the two of them in the Neighbors movie series, you will like them here. And I think I mentioned when we brought it up last week that Dave is watching it through for the first time. It's so funny. It's so undersung. And I'm really excited for it to come back. And I hope it gets its due this time because this is the kind of thing that people say no one's making comedies like this anymore. And people are. They just are on Apple TV Plus and no one knows they exist for that reason. Bobby: [9:37] So glad that you mentioned that, because I forgot about that show. Like you said, it's on undersung and I'm a few weeks behind on the podcast. So I didn't hear what you all said about the studio, but I love the studio. I mean, I ended so amazingly. And I think Rogan has turned out to be such an interesting, great comedy figure where so many people have curdled and gotten grumpy about, we can't be funny anymore. It's, he said, no, I'm just going to do what I want to do. And studio is hilarious from what I, now you're saying, this is great. It's like, It's just amazing to see how he's grown. And just last week, we were lucky enough to go to an Emmy event where the studio cast spoke and everything. And just seeing him in person, you want to root for him. He's so funny and endearing in real life. So it's just nice to see what seems like somebody with real talent and a good person doing such interesting things. Tara: [10:26] Yeah, he seems like a good dude. There's a version of him where he could have just leaned hard into the, I'm a stoner thing and just been that. And instead, he's a really interesting performer still and also a great producer. He produces The Boys and lots of other stuff, too. So I think he, yeah, he deserves more credit than he gets. Dave: [10:44] All right. Let's talk about our alts. Bobby, what else did you have that you're into for the summer? Bobby: [10:51] I have a returning show, The Ugliest House in America, which I watch no HGTV stuff. I'm not someone who, like, goes around Zillow staring at houses, but started watching this because of Retta, who is kind of born to be a host on things. She's a great actress too, but she's so good as a host. And after a season, I found myself kind of drawn into these very strange houses. And it's just a really, it's a half hour. So it's tight, it's funny, and they're weird houses and it's comfort viewing. And I'm very happy it's coming back. Dave: [11:22] All right. Sarah, what else you got? Sarah: [11:24] I have a couple of more new ones. One is The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. That's the Hulu limited series that had Margaret Qualley as Knox since replaced by Grace Van Patten. Amanda Knox is executive producing this alongside one Monica Lewinsky. So at the very least, I don't think it's going to be a completely thoughtless treatment. Knox is a pretty hilarious follow on socials if you're into that kind of thing. And that drops August 20th on Hulu. And then honorable mention to Hazardous History with Henry Winkler. I just feel like that's going to be funny. kind of silly thing that you watch when it's too hot to move and the family can't agree on anything else at the vacation cottage. And that's on the History Channel, June 15th. Dave: [12:06] Thank you. Tara, what do you got in the reserve pile? Tara: [12:10] All returning shows, as I said, Gilded Age Season 3 is on HBO June 22nd. Sharpen your blade for the Portrait Wars! Portrait Wars this year! Sarah: [12:20] Apparently that's what it's going to be. Dave: [12:21] Enjoying the Portrait Wars? Tara: [12:24] Exactly. Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3 is coming to Paramount Plus starting July 17th. The one of the new era of Star Trek shows that I think gets it right. Other than Lower Decks, which we also like. The one of the live action shows that is actually fun to watch and not a slog. Season two of Peacemaker coming late in the summer. That's on Max starting August 21st. Whatever to John Cena. I'm here for Freddy Stroma as Vigilante. He is so funny in that part. Yeah, love him. Dave. Dave: [12:55] All right. Just have a couple to mop up. Nobody else has mentioned. I hate myself that I feel like I'm looking forward to the final season of Squid Game, but here we are. Tara: [13:04] Yeah. Dave: [13:04] It's totally unnecessary, but I know I'm going to watch it just because of the ludicrousness of the whole thing. I've accepted it. I'm curious about King of the Hill revival. I wasn't like a huge, huge King of the Hill watcher, but I did enjoy it. And I love the fact that they're actually making up for the lost time and updating the series. That's something most will not do. So I'm intrigued to see. And the intro that they teased at ATV Festival, you were there sort of showing that the hills disappeared for a while from the day when they came back. What's that all about? You already mentioned Platonic and Peacemaker and Star Trek. Absolutely. And Gilded Age. You know, Tara, we're starting Gilded Age watch parties here at EHGHQ. And when we did our Doctor Odyssey watch parties, everybody had captain hats on. So for this one, everybody's going to be wearing engineer hats. We're buying super cheap Chinese look at it And they'll fall apart hats Six dollars for a gross And everybody's going to be wearing a metal hat. Tara: [14:07] I'm excited for that. Dave: [14:08] All right, let's move on to our next category, Tara. Tara: [14:10] Yes, the shows you think you should be into, but you aren't. Bobby, I agree with you on this pick, but start us off. Bobby: [14:19] Well, you know, one of my big pet peeves in life is people who are contrary for no reason. Like you see a great movie and they immediately don't like it because you recommended it. So I say this with full awareness that this is what I'm doing. but very early on with the bear everybody I knew was like you have to watch it you have to watch it you have it was like the Seinfeld episode where it's like you have to see the baby. Tara: [14:41] That's what it became like and. Bobby: [14:43] I was and the cast is incredible and I'm sure I would like it but I just put my walls up so I've never watched it and now. Tara: [14:51] Everyone's like it's. Bobby: [14:52] So intense I don't need intense. Tara: [14:54] Right now you know so I'm. Bobby: [14:56] Sure people love it not for me all the best to everybody. Dave: [15:00] It's your firefly. Tara: [15:01] Yeah i mean spoiler we are going to be talking about it on extra extra hot grade at the end of the month i feel like a monkey's paw about this because there were so many years when i really wanted someone to make a show that showed intense stakes but was not like a hospital show or a legal show and this is like it you know it delves into real human drama that somehow just got all the way up its own ass in season three like they put themselves in such a deep hole with me. They're really going to have to right this ship for me to be into season four. And I'm going to have to watch it for the podcast, but also for Cracked. And I just feel so dispirited about it. And this should be the end. And I feel like it probably will be because they're just not going to be able to hang on to this cast for very much longer with everything else they're doing. Sarah: [15:50] I think that's true. The good news for Bobby is that you waited it out long enough that people kind of turned on it after season three. So I think you're okay. Bobby: [16:00] What a relief. Dave: [16:01] But here's my suggestion. You don't need to watch the whole series, but season one was great. Tara: [16:07] Yeah. Dave: [16:08] I would watch season one, and then there's a big thing that happens at the end, and you can say, that's the end of the story, and you pull the curtain, and that's it for you and the bear. Tara: [16:16] Season two is good, too. Dave: [16:17] Yeah, but season one, I thought was like, chef's kiss, as it were. Tara: [16:22] Yes. Sarah: [16:22] And then, yeah, season three's premiere was one of the most... beautiful meditation experiences that i've had watching television and then the rest of the season i was like fuck you. Dave: [16:35] So yeah season three premiere was the most beautiful presentations of something something that i fucking hated so much i was so mad at the end of it a land of contrast we are yeah well so something you should be into but are not my choice is going to be the arson investigation drama Smoke on Apple TV, starring Kingsman. What's his name again? Elton John? Tara: [17:02] Taron Egerton. Dave: [17:03] Thank you. I have fond memories of the stupidity of Backdraft from Ron Howard, starring Robert De Niro and some of the Baldwins or a Baldwin. Real dumb movie. The police inspector was the arsonist all along. Oh, my God. So when this came up, I'm like, oh, it's Backdraft, the series. That could be interesting. And then it's like, oh, it's Apple TV. And like, the fucking coin flip of an Apple TV drama, where is it going to land? Is it going to be one where Apple TV bought it because it's Apple TV, or is it the one that got through the cracks? You don't know. Then I watched the trailer. I'm like, oh, this feels like it has no, oh my God. Sorry. Sorry for what I'm about to say. I feel like it has no spark. I didn't mean that. Virally. Watching the trailer, there's a lot of like, oh, this turf is mine. We'll never work together because I need what why do you need to have this turf war between you the fire department and the police investigator just fucking work together and catch this arsonist who's killing people. Tara: [18:04] Also, Dave, what if I told you it was based on a podcast? Dave: [18:08] Oh, I didn't know that. Sarah: [18:10] All right. Dave: [18:11] Well, then I know exactly the trajectory the season is going to take. And you can watch episodes one and two and then tune back in for seven and eight. And you don't need to watch what's in the middle. The podcast show. Tara: [18:23] Yep. Dave: [18:23] All right. Who's next? Sarah: [18:24] The Gilgo Beach Killer House of Secrets. It dropped as we're recording this today on Peacock. And I have said before, and I stand by it, I do like Peacock's, not RAF-ish exactly, but sort of a fuck it, let's start researching and go through our NBC archives and see what fits it and see how far they let us get on the streamer no one's paying that close attention to approach to true crime content. it throws off some compelling shit sometimes that would seem likely to make this particular medicine go down easier. Evidently, the series has Rex Hoyerman's family's cooperation slash participation in the project, but I feel like we as a culture need to pause production on properties about the case until the trial has even started. Everyone go read a copy of Robert Colker's Lost Girls, the one with the afterword, and just cool it until we have a verdict or a plea deal. Anyway, as noted, that is underway June 10th on Peacock, and I feel like I'm supposed to follow along with this case, which I am doing, but in the headlines. So I don't know why this seems to be now. Dave: [19:38] What was the title of that game? Sarah: [19:39] The Gilgo Beach Killer, colon, House of Secrets. Dave: [19:43] You think Retta would like to host that one too? maybe alright Tara what do you got. Tara: [19:48] I'll go with something new. I have a lot of returnees in this one, but long story short, coming to Netflix on August 27th, this is the follow-up by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, who created BoJack Horseman. I'm sure it will be good. This is more like I'm into it. It's just hard to get super psyched about something you're pretty sure is going to bum you out hard. It looks sad and not in the way that BoJack Horseman was like sort of goofy and then it got really sad much later. But, you know, when your first three words of the logline are a dysfunctional family, it's like, OK, got it. I guess this is setting my expectations to be in the blue, the blue gel. But I'm sure it'll be great. Dave: [20:33] Yeah, I get it. Sarah and Tara have alts here. So Sarah, what's your alt? Sarah: [20:37] My alt is project runway which is now on freeform you know let's be real i'm gonna watch it but every time it moves networks it seems to leave an essential piece of itself in the transporter so to speak and i didn't miss some of the uh staff who are returning i'm not gonna lie about that that is on freeform july 31st and i have a feeling tara agrees with me for those reasons Almost. Tara: [21:04] Exactly what I have in my notes. I'm definitely going to watch it, but it's going to make me so sad. Like, I just, I have, we all, I think, are still scarred by the Red Robin challenge, and I feel like it's only going to get worse on Freeform. Dave: [21:20] Oh, wrong one. Well, I thought I had it on my soundboard. Bobby: [21:23] That's unfortunate. Tara: [21:26] So, yeah, season 21, oof. Yay! Sarah: [21:31] Oh, brutal. Tara: [21:33] The only other new show on my list of should be into but am not is something called The Hunting Wives. It's based on a novel. It's got Brittany Snow and Mullen Ackerman. It's sort of like a reverse siren slash perfect couple. It's one of those, except it's someone going from the East Coast to deep Texas, which is kind of an interesting twist. But then you get to the cast list and see Katie Lowe's is in it. And it's like, no. Sarah: [21:59] Thank you. Tara: [22:00] Not interested. Sarah: [22:01] Bye. Tara: [22:02] Returning shows, Buccaneers season two. Dave: [22:05] Coming to Apple TV on June 18th. I hope to catch a man. Tara: [22:11] Yeah. Season one didn't hit. You know, I think it was going for a Dickinson thing, but like minus the charm, even Rachel Bilson is not enough to get me in for season two. Squid game, I feel about it. Like I feel about the bear. Let's just get this over with. And especially now that we've finally started the Devil's Plan, it probably costs like a tenth as much as Squid Game. And I like it ten times as much. Dave: [22:36] Agreed. Yeah. Tara: [22:37] It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 17 coming to FX on July 9th. On paper, I should like this show. I've tried. We watched it for years. I'm just not there. I'll probably watch at least the premiere for the Abbott Elementary crossover. Maybe that'll get me back in. But it's always like we said the last time we had a cannon pitch on. And it's like, there's always a taste problem in every episode where it's like, it keeps me from getting all the way hooked. That's all my else. Dave: [23:04] All right, let's move on to something no one should be into, a show no one should be into, Bobby. What do you got? Bobby: [23:12] Well, I've actually, I've talked on this very podcast before about the first time we met in person, I admitted that I watched Big Brother. And the two of you had such a sad look in your eyes that I admitted this. So I've discussed this already. So, with my public voice, let me say, no one should watch Big Brother. It's too long. There's too much. It's a bunch of dummies on TV. Julie Chen is putting a lot of quasi-religious platitudes into her comments now, too. Oh, God. So, no one should watch this. Now, with my private voice, I will be watching all of this all summer. I know it's the dumbest thing in the world. I don't know why we got hooked on it at some point. But now we watch it with one of our best friends across the country and talk about it. It's the dumbest thing on the planet, and yet I will be watching it, but no one should watch it. Tara: [23:59] This is in my good-for-you category, because if this is your bag, you get so much of it, and I think that's beautiful. Bobby: [24:06] So much, too much. Tara: [24:08] Well, you know, that's between you and your conscience, I guess. Bobby: [24:12] Yes. Dave: [24:13] Something no one should be into i'm gonna put sandman up here i hope yes that. Sarah: [24:19] Was my old fuck that guy. Dave: [24:20] Obvious not a bad show unto itself but seriously fuck that fuck harry potter for the same reason don't watch it don't give it your eyeballs don't give it the money that's how it works you vote with your wallet and i'll add to that a show on its own merits you probably shouldn't watch is Dexter Resurrection. Tara: [24:40] Yep. Dave: [24:40] Don't give a show that ended so badly another chance, Hollywood. They should be shunned. Like, you shouldn't have such a shitty conclusion to a well-liked series and then get money to make another one years later. I feel the same way about Game of Thrones even though I didn't give a shit about Game of Thrones but so many people were so mad about how Game of Thrones wrapped up and then House of the Dragon, Dragons, plural, came in and they're like, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num. Give me more, give me more, give me more. Like, no, no, don't do that. You're just encouraging them to put out poopy product and you're going to eat it. Tara: [25:17] Had that exact thing in my notes. Dave: [25:20] All right. Tara: [25:21] Stop encouraging them. Dave: [25:22] All right. Tara: [25:22] Sarah. Sarah: [25:23] This is another one that I'm going to watch anyway, because let's be real. I'm nothing if not a non-fic masochist, but American Prince colon JFK Jr. year like like the gilgo project there are better projects out there on the subject of this man cnn has been known to get a good one off they've done a couple of good watergate miniseries but this particular production outfit seems to have done mostly sports documentaries and like game day musicale stuff and the fact is we all want to know exactly what happened in the plane that day, and we're not going to. Except that John John should not have been flying, and very few non-Kennedys would have thought otherwise and gotten their wives and in-laws killed. Read Maureen Callahan's Ask Not. Read Terenzio's oral history of JFK's brief and inglorious life. It'll be more satisfying. Am I going to follow my own advice? Absolutely not. If you would also like to not listen to me, American Prince begins August 10th on CNN, but don't do it. Just don't do it. Tara: [26:29] All right well there was a show i guess still is on amazon prime video called the terminal list it starred chris pratt is like a navy seal guy or something and the reason i don't know is because i didn't watch it and i challenge you to find anyone who did i mean maybe your dad if you're our age it started as a. Dave: [26:51] Movie right didn't we watch it. Tara: [26:53] No, that was something else. You're thinking of the one where they go back in time. Dave: [26:57] Right? Tara: [26:58] Yeah, no, that was something different. Dave: [26:59] Oh, that's not this? Tara: [27:00] No. Dave: [27:00] Oh, okay. Tara: [27:01] And so now coming to Prime Video on August 27th is the Terminal List colon Dark Wolf. And I just refuse to believe anyone watched the original enough to warrant a spinoff. This is a tax dodge or a mob front or something. Like, it's just something is not right about this. I've never heard any person talk about the Terminal List. Dave: [27:22] Wow. Tara: [27:22] And here it is getting a spinoff. This is some Citadel shit, and I won't stand for it. My alts, Revival, coming to Sci-Fi this very week, June 12th. This is a low-budget zombie show, definitely shot in Vancouver because the star is the woman who played Winona Earp. It's a Sci-Fi original. I just find it hard to believe anyone is left that can get it up for one of these shows. Dave: [27:46] Truly. Tara: [27:47] We already talked about Sandman, but speaking of Cursed, Bachelor in Paradise, whichever season this is, starting July 7th, like I didn't think we were doing this anymore. And then also on July 7th, coming to NBC, something called Survival Mode that as far as I can tell is just a Twitch stream, but it's a network primetime show. And I do not consent to this being on real TV. Dave: [28:10] We're there, are we? Tara: [28:12] Right. Sarah: [28:12] No, overruled. Not okay. Dave: [28:14] Wow. All right. Tara: [28:15] All right. Dave: [28:16] Yeah, final category, something that's good for you, a.k.a. the more for you category. Bobby, a show you're not interested in, but you don't begrudge others for watching. You don't judge them like you do other shows they watch. Bobby: [28:32] That's fair. That's fair. I was looking through the list of stuff that came out, and I immediately jumped out at one because when I was a kid, remember I got a gift certificate for B. Dalton in the mall for my aunt and uncle, and it was for $50. and I was 10 so it seemed like so much money and I was so into sci-fi stuff at that time and I went to the store and I got the novelization of V if you remember that the novelization of Return of the Jedi and then I asked the guy who was working there if he had any other good sci-fi recommendations and he said anyone who likes science fiction needs to read Foundation by Asimov and I bought Foundation book I started reading it, and I just couldn't. It was just, I've never, since I was 10, I've never opened it. And now that there's a TV show of it, my brother is constantly saying, like, it's good. You need to watch the show. I just can't. I'm glad my brother loves it, and it brings him joy, and that there's people who love it. But it's just, for as nerdy as I can be about things, Foundation is kind of where my line stops. Dave: [29:30] Ditto everything you said but the Bible. Tara: [29:33] Well, speaking of which, Chosen Season 5. Dave: [29:36] Chosen Season 5. Praise him. Tara: [29:39] Foundation is where the hard sci-fi community and the horny for Lee Pace community find common ground. And that's great. Dave: [29:49] Heavy admission for the Lee Pace people, though. Tara: [29:52] It's well, I suppose. Sarah: [29:53] Yeah. Dave: [29:54] I'm going to put Ironheart here. I'm not exactly sure what it is inside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I know it's like your tertiary character TV series for a franchise that I absolutely do not care about anymore. It really has to be something incredibly visceral or stupid like Deadpool versus Wolverine to actually make me want to watch. Nothing else is really going to put me in the theaters. Never mind this sort of like, where's Thor? Oh, Thor. He's taking the shit. He'll be back in one series time. We're not going to see him here in Ironheart. He's taking an Asgardian-sized dump. He'll be back in three weeks. so if you're complete is for marvel i get it i don't agree but you know more for you sarah. Sarah: [30:50] Look i definitely don't begrudge anyone who is into this based on the title because i get the reference but if you don't get the reference before you know anything else about it it sounds so shady this is an investigation discovery joint called they know what they did, and uh it's really making me like one of its executive producers jennifer love hewitt even more for pitching it to narrate it yes it's a play on i know what you did last summer sort of and i know it's not going to be a bunch of cops and talking head interviews all manson girls oh they know what they did which is why i'm not actually going to watch it myself the log line sounds very just boring and like in a new twist it's a group of interconnected individuals haunted by a murder like that's really not a twist that is 92% of true crime programming and it's never going to live up to the title so that's why it's more for you but hewitt well done. Tara: [31:49] More for you. FUBAR season two, Netflix, June 12th. That's exactly what my editor at Cracked said when I put it on the June entertainment calendar. Yes, they're still doing that. Again, if this is the kind of thing you're into, I've certainly seen it executed worse. Dave: [32:06] What they should have done is taken his character from Commando, and it's 2025. You know, he's still out there. He's back at his cabin in the woods having his daughter, Alyssa Milano, feed deer. Tara: [32:18] And. Dave: [32:19] Then he's he's got to get back into shit. Tara: [32:21] And he. Dave: [32:22] Does and that's the series sure this food bar series was terrible i can't believe they're doing a second season and paying arnold schwarzenegger whatever he wants for that. Tara: [32:31] Amazing well i mean now that arnold and patrick schwarzenegger are doing interviews about their acting careers together i'm sure netflix is just like holding on to this long enough for them to try to book him for a potential season three but you know i'm permanently scarred by citadel and because they came out around the same time it's just like this was the better version of that awful idea i you know i'm not gonna watch it but whatever speaking of same thing the chosen season five that was not a joke so many prime video june 15th more chosen than ever food network has a show starting june 16th called super mega cakes which is basically what if cake but large not something i'm interested in but what if one. Dave: [33:12] Person a season dies under the weight of a falling cake. Tara: [33:15] I think that's interesting okay. Sarah: [33:17] Great they know what they did. Tara: [33:18] Noah's ark with a c the movie coming to paramount plus june 20th this is like a horny gay romance series love this for the community happy pride hope everyone gets whatever their way they want out of it noah's full frontal uh-huh but. Dave: [33:35] It's also a gay romance. Tara: [33:36] I think there's a person named Noah in it, and that's like the pun. Dave: [33:40] Oh, it's not the story of Noah's Ark. Sarah: [33:42] No, no, no, no. Tara: [33:43] No. Dave: [33:44] Well, then why are we here? Tara: [33:45] That's why it's Noah's Ark with a C, I said. Dave: [33:48] Here's the movie. It's Noah's Ark with the biblical Noah. Tara: [33:52] Right. Dave: [33:52] And he is gay, and he brings Charles with him. And they don't really think it over, and they bring two animals of every, but the animals are also gay, and then the Earth is no longer populated with animals. Tara: [34:05] They already did that on Futurama. There's parts of the Bible I like and parts I don't like. Sarah: [34:10] What about Ark with the Sea where they're just doing like advanced geometry? Tara: [34:14] Or welding. Sarah: [34:16] Naked? Bobby: [34:17] Yeah. Sarah: [34:18] All right. Dave: [34:19] Who's got an alt for this category? Sarah D. Bundang, let us know. Sarah: [34:22] Okay. Well, I might watch this, Force 2, but there's a show called King's Court from Holly Robinson and Rodney Peet in which kings are helped to find love and a question mark. except these celebs include Carlos Boozer, who one of the best names in sports commentary, but I don't need to watch this process. Good luck to him. And also Tyson Beckford can't get it in by himself. Tara: [34:49] It seems improbable to me. Sarah: [34:51] He's a supermodel. Tara: [34:52] Yeah. Sarah: [34:53] There's got to be another twist. I won't be finding out, but as with they know what they did, if I'm missing out, let me know. But yeah, King's court. Dave: [35:02] All right. I'll wrap it up with an all that I'm surprised nobody mentioned i know we're going to cover it at some point as a lead show but the waterfront yeah from what's this nuts who did dawson's creek kevin williamson yeah so what do you guys think of this what do you think about this show existing it. Tara: [35:17] Looks like watery ozark from what i. Dave: [35:19] Can tell. Tara: [35:20] And um i wasn't interested in the original but you know we're gonna at least watch one for podcast purposes. Dave: [35:27] All right quickly let's do our plugs i know around the dial this week because as we just did around the dial about 20 times. Tara, what do you got the plug? Tara: [35:36] We started a Patreon membership campaign on our sister podcast again with this. Our first goal is about $500 away. You could get a sticker set, including a holographic who fucked and Dawson crying that you've always needed. Again with this podcast.com slash campaign. Basically the big goal is for us to do regular recap episodes of short run, Dawson's Creek 90210 Melrose Place adjacent shows. So like you're my so-called life's your young Americans is you're dying for sexes, etc. So if that's something you're interested in, hit us up over there that URL again, again, with this podcast.com slash campaign, it will also be in the show notes. Dave: [36:20] All right, Bobby, what do you got? Bobby: [36:21] Well, I've mentioned on here before, I have a couple books available, and I have a new one coming out this fall, but it's not available for pre-order or anything yet. But more importantly, I'm sure everyone knows what's been going on here in LA, and I just thought I would put a link to a positive place to donate some money. It's the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. There are real people involved with what's going on right now, so if you can make a donation there, I think it's a really good use of your money. Tara: [36:45] Thank you. Dave: [36:45] Absolutely. Sarah? Sarah: [36:46] I review a lot of the true crime stuff I just blew off in the previous segment at my blog, bestevidence.fyi. That includes the other Gilgo series that came out last month, as well as that Kennedy book that I just mentioned, Ask Not. That link will be in the show notes or just head to bestevidence.fyi and search around. We've got years and years of archives. Dave: [37:11] All right. Coming up on Extra Extra Hot Great this Friday.

So if you would like your own space show logo t-shirt, that's where you can get it. Buy one and support the podcast. Dave: [37:54] It is time for the extra hot, great canon presenting this week. It is I, and now we're presenting Southside season two, episode one, treat yourself for hopeful induction into the canon. Just to set up what this episode is about. It is, quote, as warm as clam chowder in Chicago during this episode. And we're going to be tracking two separate journeys about people trying to notch those small wins in life. I'm going to run through the two storylines and hopefully demonstrate through the power of the recap why this is one of the smartest dumb comedies we've had in years. The big note reasons why I think this is canon worthy. A, the precision execution of the character work. and b the amount of comedy it rings out in one simple premise and one weird premise all inside of about 25 minutes so we're going to go through the a plot and the b plot arbitrary a b they're kind of in equal measures here but let's talk about the stake a plot first there's a staff meeting at the main setting of the show rent to own employee j mal discovers the thermostat he's been adjusting for this meeting isn't connected to anything. Tara: [39:18] Stats keeps kids busy gives employees the illusion of control. Dave: [39:22] So this is the kind of workplace we're dealing with and then we're outside of rent to own by the entrance there is the laziest attempt to deliver a box of omaha steaks the delivery guy sort of just like dances on his tiptoes up to the door makes the gentlest of taps with one hand as he places a like sorry we missed you sticker on the window with the other. It's sort of like Indiana Jones at Reyes Lost Dark swapping the bag of sand for the idol. It's like such a fluid motion. He then like scurries off with this box of Omaha steaks back to his van, and he starts listening to Temptation Church audiobook as he drives away. She imagined Deacon DeAndre inside of her. Tara: [40:14] Anointed hands. The floor was wet, but it wasn't holy water. Drip, drip. Dave: [40:23] So that Boise here in the background there is Simon, one of the lead characters of the show. He is giving chase on foot from Rent to Own. He finally flags down the van. There's a quick combo about porch pirates stealing steaks, which the driver says, steal steaks. And then there's like a one half second camera pan to the back of the van where there's like a ready to go grill all set up. It's really great. Tara: [40:49] So good. Dave: [40:51] So after the fantastic theme song credits, we are back at the RTO meeting. Simon is back. He's cradling his crate of steaks like a baby next to Kareem, a.k.a. Kay, who you're going to hear in this next clip. What's in the box? Nanya. Actually, what's in this box is two filet. Tara: [41:15] Tartlets. What are tartlets? Man, you don't know what a tartlet is? No. Fuck you. Dave: [41:24] For a deep dive on that exchange, you'll want to listen to the tiny anchor cannon in extra, extra hot grade 323. Ordering the steaks proves for assignment to be like winning the lottery. Everyone feels titled to some of his winnings, but this is Simon's once-in-a-year treat. Nobody gets anything. I work hard as fuck. So once a year, I treat myself to something nice. Last year, it was strip his own ice. It was cold as hell. So Simon and Kay take out the delivery trucks for their rounds. There is a detour because Simon wants to drop off the steaks at his house, but then the truck breaks down. They quickly take the L train instead, where everyone on the car is lasered in on getting something from that box of steaks. Sarah: [42:26] Crazy old dice. Tara: [42:28] Anyway, I just got back from Vietnam. What? Literally just came back. Sarah: [42:34] I was in that POWK's longer than McCain. Them white boys taught me Morse code wrong. Apparently, ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Tara: [42:43] I'm loving it here. Let me stay. So that's why they left me there. You know what kept me going through. Sarah: [42:51] All of this? Ha, let me guess. Steaks? The thought of steaks. Dave: [42:57] Then on the l train the introvert's worst nightmare happens when the stalled train is witness to the arrival of the get fresh crew who encourage you to get fresh it's like a train-based audience participation version of stomp happening right in front of you this happened to me a few times the new york subway and it was like one of the worst moments of my life and i had to relive it here during the number the box of steaks is round housed and explodes meat everywhere in their individual package everyone in the car scrambles to get one of the steaks including one woman who jumps on a steak likes a grenade and just like never gets up again, simon manages to save two steaks and but they're rapidly thawing in the heat the last chance to save these steaks is to take them to the nearby Washington Steakhouse and bargain for their immediate preparation. The chef at Washington agrees, but explains what's going to happen. All right, I'm gonna cook this steak for you, but I'm gonna do it my way. Nick, give me that. Tara: [44:15] Excuse me. Hey, who worked at Ruth Chris? Who was the first person to ever be fired from Ruth Chris. Sarah: [44:21] For being too creative? Dave: [44:25] Of course, since nothing's going Simon's way today, the chef faints cooking his steak in this heat wave, and Simon is led to the kitchen like parents to the morgue on law and order, complete with towel reveal of the dead patient, his poor, burnt to a crisp steak. We'll come back to Simon's last scene after we deal with the B plot. And the B plot is the steak out plot. Tara: [44:51] Hey! Dave: [44:53] It's the second weirder journey that happens in this episode. And it is the tale of the by the book, but underachieving Officer Goodnight and fashion forward Sergeant Turner, who is trying to locate an elusive local business. Tara: [45:35] Obrigado, bro. Dave: [45:38] Oh my God. While they are parked in their cruiser, goodnight whoops whoops the siren as a car with expired tags drives by. Turner is adamant that the cruiser's door stay closed to keep all the cool air in. So she turns on the PA and tells the driver of this car to come to the cruiser for her ticket instead today. I love the actress playing the driver here. It is such a good performance. It is such a great scene. Tara: [46:04] Mm-hmm. Dave: [46:04] Trying to get out of the ticket, the woman tells them what they should be doing instead of harassing her. Why are y'all messing with me? You know what? Y'all need to be doing stuff like paying attention to that house over. Sarah: [46:32] Going to let you off with a warning. Okay. So thank you. Uh, for cooperating with the police. Oh, I'm not coo- I cooperated with you pulling me over. That's it. That's the only thing- You cooperated just now, though. Ah, I'm not cooperating. There you go. Thank you. Okay. Tara: [46:46] Appreciate it. Feel free to put your hands down. Ah, that sound like a trap. Dude, use Google Maps. Use Google Maps. So you can see the whole thing. Seriously, thank you. Thank you, white car, white Buick, for your help. Sarah: [46:57] For informing us. No! Please don't call me that. Everybody should know this is how you- Tara: [47:07] This is what it means to be. Dave: [47:09] A community policeman. Tara: [47:11] You trying to get me God out here. Dave: [47:17] A sentence to pay attention to. Word on the street is they trapping in that house. Goodnight over explains that he's going in to turn her into this house that he just heard about. He hears, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, but as we see, as an out-of-focus Goodnight sort of attempts his ingress, blurred in the background through the car windows as Turner is talking. We discover that Turner's on the phone with a girlfriend. She's talking about booty calls and licking booty on some reality show called Black Ink. 20 minutes later, Turner kind of realizes it's been a long time since she's last heard from her partner. Turner swaps her wig out, a running gag on the show. She's always got some very ornate involved wig on. Tara: [47:59] Never the same wig twice. Dave: [48:01] Never the same wig twice. So she opts for something a little more tactical and goes into the house to see what's up. When she enters the house, it's sort of like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs meets the house from Seven. It's dark. There's pine tree car air fresheners hanging down from the ceiling. There's caged animals everywhere. Skunks, rabbits. I think there was a label for a capybara somewhere in there. You name it. It's in here. Turner hears a straight voice say, help me. and she finds goodnight in like this door-cum-iron-maiden-homemade trap. It's like sprung on him. The nails are like almost impaling him. Only his flashlight braced against the wall is keeping him from death. His facial expressions here are amazingly funny. Tara: [48:48] So funny. Dave: [48:49] So good. Trying to help, Turner triggers her own trap like a metal rope trap and now they are both stuck in this house. Back from break, the resident comes home. He's dressed like he's from the end of Lord of the Flies, but also kind of fashionable. He's got like fur sandals and like a fur vest on. And we meet him here in this clip. Bobby: [49:26] No, no, no. All sweat has a little urea in it and urea in a lot of trouble. Oh, really? Dave: [49:35] So the resident frees Turner from her trap. And when she asks what all this creepy shit is about, he explains. So what is all this? What? This, let me show you. This is how. Tara: [49:58] Guilty as charged. This is the fur house. Respect. Uh, disrespect. Okay. Ignore him. Bobby: [50:04] Anyway. Dave: [50:06] Word on the street is they trapping. She is oddly impressed with this whole set of them. turner is a happy neighborhood fur customer and good night after percy falls through one of his trap doors he forgot about is freed and then proceeds to get both of his hands almost immediately one at a time trapped in the couch looking for revenge violations to write percy up on turner decides to help percy by selling the furs to keep them out of police custody to do this she decides to keep goodnight locked in the couch trap and as they leave he struggles and kicks a crate open and there is something inside that starts to screech hours later we're back at the house turner and percy return to hear terrible noises as we pan over to a crazed goodnight obviously at the end of a very long battle killing some sort of varmint with his blood-soaked teeth All right, Pete Nipples. You know you ain't getting in my car with rabies. Oh, look. It is such a deranged ending to this plot. Tara: [51:23] I absolutely love it. Dave: [51:26] So back to Simon. The whole episode ends on kind of a hopeful note. Simon decides, after losing all his steak, to treat himself, ordering another batch, hopping in a cab for an extended, for a sitcom, Michael Clayton-style silent ride ending. And that is where the episode ends. I absolutely love this episode and the show. We talk a lot about joke density here on the podcast, especially for the crazier comedies that we watch. And Southside, I think, really delivers here. The character work is great, even when the acting isn't. I don't think Kareem Young as Kay is going to get an Emmy anytime soon. But I absolutely love him in this show. And I can't imagine the production working any other way, except with all these people. the whole show has a made by friends vibe like they all met in college and now they're making this tv show and it goes through the whole series and it's a stronger for it, The relatable actions of a man trying to eke out a win against an indifferent universe and the hopefully unrelatable tale of getting got in the do-it-yourself-for-your-literal trap house blend together here in a very satisfying way. They shouldn't mix, but they do. I explain them one at a time, but of course, they're all cut together. The show is personal, outrageous, and always funny. This is a hilarious episode of TV and captures everything I love about Southside. Plus, getting sweared at for not knowing what a title it is. Tara: [52:55] Thank you so much, Dave. Bobby, you chose this. Start us off. Bobby: [53:00] Well, I was so glad to see this on the list of possibilities because I had watched the first season and I loved it. But what happens, I think, for a lot of people is these shows that are on streaming networks, sometimes they get buried a little bit if they're not kind of in the larger public consciousness, if they're not being nominated for Emmys and things like that. Sometimes you don't remember them because I'm not scrolling through Macs all the time. So this was an excuse to go back to it. And it's one of the things that I like about the canon so much is that you have some shows like Seinfeld or 30 Rock where everyone knows these shows. So they deserve to be in the canon. But then sometimes there's shows like this that maybe kind of get ignored or forgotten like this or the other two. Or My Lovely Life Partner did a Pen15 episode one time for the canon. And it's like, it's a way to remember that these shows are out there. And this was so funny. I mean, I would vote for it just on the woman that they pull over, who keeps saying, like, do not. But the hardest I've laughed at a TV show in ages is when they're in the trap house, and the guy's going to let him out, and he clicks the button that opens the trap door, and he just goes, here we go. And he falls down. Bobby: [54:11] I watched it six times, and I laughed that hard. I would go for it for that two seconds alone. But it's nice to kind of revisit this show. And one last thing. It was interesting. We just were watching Broad City again, another show that people kind of forget about because nothing's on in reruns anymore. And this show reminds me of Broad City in a lot of ways, too. The two guys just going about their day with these steaks. And it's just absurd at times. I loved it. I can't wait to watch the rest of the second season now. And the third. Tara: [54:40] Yes, there's so much waiting for you. Sarah, why don't you go next? Sarah: [54:45] I mean, every time I hear, you don't know what a tartlet is? Bobby: [54:49] Fuck you. Sarah: [54:50] I mean, just flawless. Like TV and line deliveries and everything can just stop because we've heard the best one. And also it's that it's a tartlet. Like everything about it is just perfect. But there's so many good line deliveries in here that had that like Detroiters like desperate wail of comedic despair vibe to them like goodnight wailing that he is still trapped. The furrier, the regular degular furrier and his Travolta's costume in staying alive, but fashion outfit. So good. And he really gets at that sort of like babbling that citizens get around the cops, but also that he's like excited to show off his wares and the combinations of things that he's using, like the ferret and the inside of a garden hose. that I actually paused it to look and I was like yeah that's that's credible like I buy it. Sarah: [55:54] So so good and I really did I really like the get fresh crew comes in and I was like oh who has not been there and just been waiting for a new item to be brought into the show and destroyed and sure enough RIP most of the stakes and that lady who might actually be dead but probably is just really committed to the bit this was extremely joke dense extremely well edited to go back and forth between these scenarios that really are like the funny version of that dream where you're just trying to get across a crowded space to get back to your bag and then there keep being and it's like why is this still not the final boss someone wake me up i hate it here but this is funny and i mean And Dave's point about the character work, like even though I'm not as familiar with the show, I've seen this episode a couple times and you really get so much from just this episode in terms of like their responses, in terms of Turner just like complaining about cheap ass cop clothes and having like the reserve tactical wig. Sarah: [57:08] It's so good. It's such an enjoyable show. And there's also like so much texture to it. It's not funny, but then it makes it funnier because it's shot in such a way that you really get a broader sense of this neighborhood, these workplaces, and these people. This was a delight and great presentation. Thanks, Dave. Tara, take us home. Tara: [57:32] It's not possible to say enough good things about this show. I was lucky enough to be able to interview Bashir Salahuddin. He plays Goodnight and also co-created the show with Diallo Riddle, who's not in this episode, but has a recurring role as a local politician. Dave: [57:47] Yeah, that's one of the three big areas of the show that's not in here. So that's like the political sphere of the show. Tara: [57:53] Yeah. Which, because it's Chicago, is like, you know, fucked up and corrupt and terrible, too. Sarah: [57:58] Mm-hmm. Tara: [57:59] So it is made by friends, for sure. Riddle and Salahuddin were writing partners. They met in college, and then they were, before this, wrote on The Tonight Show, or I think Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, like half of the cast are siblings of Bashir Salahuddin. The guy who plays Simon is his brother, a woman who works at the store is his sister. They're just all over the show. So made by friends and family. When I talked to him, and I think I said this when we were talking about this for the Tiny Cannon 323, he said, when they made the show, they were huge Simpsons fans and they wanted it to feel like The Simpsons, And it does. And in the sense that like when you watch season one, it sort of it builds out from core group of characters to like fill out the world. An episode like this couldn't happen early on. It has to you have to know the characters first before you can see how they're interacting with like these, you know, absolutely insane local higher Chicago actors doing the dumbest, weirdest, stupidest stuff you could possibly imagine. Sarah: [59:00] Oh, no, no, don't. Tara: [59:02] Yes. Incredible. And, like, the cops watching this, now that Texas is fully in, like, ass-crack heat all the time, really brought extra resonance to the scene where the cops... And the suspect are arguing over who's going to have to get out of their car and their air conditioning to complete the transaction because no one wants to leave. And it's like, I get it. The guy on the train, like an accompaniment, like not sides. He's like gives them the respect that they deserve saying accompaniments. The line about you don't know that he could be Portuguese. I've watched this episode. This is probably my fifth time. I don't think I ever heard that line before. Like, it's just every time you discover this show, there's something new. And you're so right about the way that it's it intercuts the two storylines of like two different ways your day can go wrong in the height slash depth of summer. When you just wish you were dead. All you're just trying to find one thing to look forward to. For Turner, it's a beautiful fur. For Simon, it's a steak. and one of them gets satisfaction. Well, they both do in the end, ultimately. But yeah, it's a gorgeous episode. There's so much to love about it. I could go on, but I won't. Brilliant case, brilliant episode. Dave: [1:00:27] Yeah, great show. All right, let's put this to the official vote. Bobby, what say you, Kenan worthy or not? Bobby: [1:00:33] Oh, yes, definitely. Dave: [1:00:34] Sarah? Sarah: [1:00:35] Absolutely. Dave: [1:00:37] And Tara? Tara: [1:00:38] Of course. Dave: [1:00:39] All right, so that means... That's Southside Season 2, Episode 1, Treat Yourself. You are hereby inducted into the Extra Hot Grey Camp. Dave: [1:01:04] It is time to discover who is the winner and loser of the week. Sarah has this week's winner. Sarah: [1:01:14] Yes, she does. I'll not keep you in suspense. As discussed to an extent earlier in the episode, The Bear co-stars Jon Bernthal and Eben Moss Bacharach making their Broadway debuts next year in Dog Day Afternoon. Sort of related to my topic selection, but also related to how much longer can they keep this cast. I have a feeling that sort of like centrifugal process has already, uh, has already begun. Dave: [1:01:42] And loser of the week, Tom. Tara: [1:01:44] Uh, we talked about this show on extra, extra hot. Great back in, I believe April canceled the prime video after one season, despite a two season order, a 12, the Amy Sherman Palladino slash Daniel Palladino ballet show. that looked expensive yet cheap. It was a very weird walk of the line, dance of the line between those two extremes. It's such a fuck you. And my heart goes out to people who like the show. I certainly was not one of them, but I know the pain of thinking you're getting more show because the news said so, and then it gets snatched away from you. I'll never be over Glow, and I truly can't say it enough. I don't know why they made the show in the first place. This is not really a huge surprise to me. Sarah: [1:02:30] So yeah, Mama's no new hats for Mama, I guess. Dave: [1:02:35] First of all, the show is called Elote. And then I did the math for you. So according to my calculations, the next Sherman Palladino ballet show, if the pattern follows, will be in 2038. So you have that to look forward to. Tara: [1:02:49] Great. Sarah: [1:02:49] Great. Tara: [1:02:50] Okay. Dave: [1:02:50] Speaking about looking forward to, do you know what time it is? Tara: [1:02:53] It's time. Sarah: [1:02:53] It's time. Dave: [1:02:54] Yeah. Okay, time. welcome back to game time everybody this is our fifth of the season the scores are tara with one sarah in the lead with two and value guests with one today we are playing there once was a man from TV, from yours truly, in which I will read you a limerick about one of TV's one-season shows. These are all culty shows and or infamous selections. You'll get a guess, and if you don't get it, we're going to move on to the next person in the chain for their answer, repeating to the third player if necessary. If we do reach the last person, they will also get the debut year and network of the show in question. Bobby, you're welcome. I did some poetry for you. Bobby: [1:03:54] This is what my new book is, so this is kind of perfect. Dave: [1:03:57] Oh, this is awkward. Bobby: [1:03:58] Limericks about one-season TV shows. Who knew? Tara: [1:04:01] Finally. Dave: [1:04:02] Let's throw it to the pickies. He's going first. All right. So we're going to start with our resident poet, Bobby, then we'll move to Sarah, then to Tara. We've got 24 limericks here in play. We'll do a Grossworth Equalizer Challenge Zone right in the middle for two possible points. Every correct answer during the game is worth one. Are we ready to play There Once Was a Man from TV? Tara: [1:04:27] Yes. Sarah: [1:04:28] Yes. Bobby: [1:04:28] Yes. Dave: [1:04:29] All right, Bobby, I will read you a limerick about a one season show. You name the show. If you don't get it, we're going to move on to Sarah. He woke in a village so bright, but something about it felt tight. They stripped him of name, insisted on shame, and Bubbles would chase him on sight. Bobby: [1:04:48] Oh, one of my favorites, and I know one of yours, The Prisoner. Dave: [1:04:51] That is The Prisoner, yes. That is worth one point, Bobby on the board. Sarah. Sarah: [1:04:57] Yeah. Dave: [1:04:57] She mopes through the chaos of class. In flannel, unsure how to pass. Their kisses are brief, in heat and in grief, by pipes in a room full of gas. Sarah: [1:05:09] Oh, wow. That is beautiful work. Congratulations. I believe that this is my so-called life. Dave: [1:05:16] It is my so-called life. Sarah on the board as well. Tara. Tara: [1:05:20] Yes. Dave: [1:05:20] The sketches are bombing again. The writers play games with their pen. A castmate gets snapped for jokes poorly mapped while his brothers held hostage by men. Tara: [1:05:34] Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Dave: [1:05:36] You are correct. Everybody has one point for their first question. Back to Bobby. He's home with no plans and no calls, just sandwiches, game shows, and sprawls. His mom's out of sight, the house feels just right, while Sue Ellen cries in the halls. Bobby: [1:05:57] Lou Graham. Dave: [1:05:58] That is incorrect. We go to Sarah. Or a possible steal. Sarah: [1:06:03] Would you mind reading it again, please? Dave: [1:06:05] He's home with no plans and no calls. Just sandwiches, game shows, and sprawls. His mom's out of sight. The house feels just right. While Sue Ellen cries in the halls. Sarah: [1:06:23] Dallas 2525. I don't know. Dave: [1:06:26] We now move to tara this show debuted in 1999 on nbc. Tara: [1:06:33] Inside schwartz wow. Dave: [1:06:36] That poem was about bill haverchuck on freaks and geeks he's home with no plans and no calls just sandwiches game shows and sprawls yep oh man all right so no points for that one server back to Sarah the case would begin with a pun then corpses fell over for fun the camera would stall no one moved at all except for the guy with the gun remember one season TV shows only police squad police squad is correct yes no one moved at all referencing the freeze frame of every ending of that show and then of course the title was a pun for each one tara yes the future was choking on ash so folks see a portal and dash now dinos abound and secrets are found as rebels make plans in a flash Oh. Tara: [1:07:37] God, what was it called? God, I can picture everything about it. I can't remember what it's called. I don't know. Dave: [1:07:52] This one goes to Bobby for a pickup. Bobby: [1:07:54] Now, if I think I'm right, this is named after right by where you all lived when you lived in L.A. Is it La Brea? Tara: [1:08:02] That got two seasons, believe it or not. Sarah: [1:08:04] Yeah. Bobby: [1:08:05] What? All right. Dave: [1:08:06] Sarah D. Bunting, I can let you know this show started in 2011 on Fox. Sarah: [1:08:13] Terranova? Tara: [1:08:13] Terranova is correct, yes. Good job, Sarah. Bobby: [1:08:17] Wow. Sarah: [1:08:19] Brutal watch, but... Dave: [1:08:20] They fled from an oppressive fate with shiny foes fueled by hate. Their ships form a line. They search for a sign. A planet in myth lies in wait. Bobby: [1:08:34] Oh, is this Firefly? Dave: [1:08:37] It's not Firefly to Sarendi Bunting. Sarah: [1:08:42] I'm sorry. Can I hear it again? Dave: [1:08:44] They fled from an oppressive fate with shiny foes fueled by hate. Their ships form a line. They search for a sign. A planet in myth lies in wait. Sarah: [1:08:56] Land of the Lost? Dave: [1:09:00] Tara, this show started in 1978 on ABC. Tara: [1:09:03] Oh, it's not at all what I thought it was then. Was the original Battlestar Galactica only one season? Dave: [1:09:10] It was only one season. There was a follow-up series called Galactica 1980, but it is not the same show. Tara: [1:09:16] Okay. Dave: [1:09:17] Serity Bunting. Sarah: [1:09:19] Yep. Dave: [1:09:20] She slacks among the tourists in a haze, while trinkets give cryptic cliches. They whisper and nag, she much rather lag, but fate has designs on her days. I think the most important part is your first two lines. So I'll read them again for you. She slacks among the tourists in a haze while trinkets give cryptic cliches. Sarah: [1:09:55] Tourists in a haze. Yeah, I just don't. Dollhouse? Dave: [1:10:00] Moves to Tara. Tara: [1:10:01] That got more than one season two. Wonderfalls. Dave: [1:10:04] Wonderfalls is the correct answer in the 2004 series. Tara, here is your full poem. She's hired by fax to repel a plague of zombie mackerel. He's square and drinks white. The android can fight. And lucha ghosts scream out in hell. Tara: [1:10:25] Oh, my God. I mean, I heard mackerel, so I have to guess surface. Dave: [1:10:32] It's incorrect. we go to Bobby for a steal oh. Bobby: [1:10:36] Dear god I have I'm gonna just say like a space show name that I've heard expanse. Dave: [1:10:41] Incorrect Sarah D Bunting for the steal the show started in 2008 on ABC family and I'm gonna let you know the show was also I believe in the canon I think it's in the canon or at least was pitched for the canon, Could have been a foresighting, but I think it was a can. Sarah: [1:11:02] Humans? I don't know. Dave: [1:11:05] All that zaniness is from The Middleman. Tara: [1:11:08] The Middleman. Dave: [1:11:09] The Middleman. Sarah: [1:11:10] Oh, okay. Dave: [1:11:11] All right, back to Bobby. He tracked a reptilian brute, then faced down a corpse in a suit. The cops made a mess, dismissed all the press, but it's better than the 06 reboot. Bobby: [1:11:26] Oh, is this Kolchak the Night Stalker? Dave: [1:11:28] It is Kolchak the Night Stalker. Nicely done. Sarah: [1:11:30] Wow, nice. Dave: [1:11:31] Severity Bunting. He washed up alone on the sand, with lungs built for sea, not for land. His past is a blank, too ancient to rank, from cities long drowned under the strand. I like that poetic use of the word strand there, Bobby. I had to look it up. Sarah: [1:11:51] That was very nice. Oh, my God. I can't remember the... Oh, no. You know what? I think it's actually John from Cincinnati. Is it? Tara: [1:12:02] That's what I thought. Sarah: [1:12:03] No, it's the other one with bullet head. Dave: [1:12:04] All right, Tara, your steal. Tara: [1:12:07] He washed up. Dave: [1:12:09] Washed up alone on the sand with lungs built for sea, not for land. His past is blank, too ancient to rank, from cities long drowned under the strand. Tara: [1:12:18] I don't remember any merman show, so I'm out. Bobby. Dave: [1:12:22] All right, Bobby, I'll let you know this show started in 1977 on NBC. The National Broadcasting Company. Bobby: [1:12:30] Oh, wow. Sarah: [1:12:31] The Nautilus Broadcasting Network? Dave: [1:12:33] Not yet. Sarah: [1:12:35] The Naval-y. Bobby: [1:12:36] 77. Was there an Aquaman show that I don't remember? Dave: [1:12:42] There is no Aquaman show, but you're close. This is The Man from Atlantis. Sarah: [1:12:48] Oh. Dave: [1:12:48] With What's-His-Nuts from Dallas. Tara: [1:12:50] Oh. Dave: [1:12:51] Patrick Duffy. Tara: [1:12:52] Oh, really? Sarah: [1:12:53] I thought it was What's-His-Nuts from Prison Break. That was something else. Dave: [1:12:57] All right, Tara, this will take us into our score break. We'll be halfway through. He dreamed of a rocket from scrap to land where flags took their nap. He launched from the ground, then circled around and sold moon debris from a map. You really had to be paying attention to a very, very short part of the past episode to even stand a chance. Tara: [1:13:20] Oh, OK. Dave: [1:13:22] But it is a very infamous one season show for its premise. Tara: [1:13:27] None of that sounds familiar to me at all. So I'll say Enterprise. Dave: [1:13:31] All right, Bobby, any idea here? Bobby: [1:13:35] Was that the tick? Dave: [1:13:37] Sarah D. Bunting, this show started in 1979 on ABC. Sarah: [1:13:46] Greatest American Hero? Dave: [1:13:49] Incorrect. This show is called Salvage One. It is about a man who builds a homemade rocket in order to pick up pieces of destroyed satellites and moon rockets and stuff on the moon to bring back to sell to Earth. Do you remember who the lead here is? Tara: [1:14:07] No, but now that you say that, I know we've talked about it before. Dave: [1:14:10] We have briefly talked about it as something I would love to force and everybody to watch at some point in the future. The actor just fell out of my brain. It's Matlock. Tara: [1:14:19] Oh, Andy Griffith? Dave: [1:14:21] Andy Griffith is Salvage One lead. Bobby: [1:14:23] What? Dave: [1:14:23] Yep. Sarah: [1:14:23] Right, right, right, right. Tara: [1:14:24] Right. Sarah: [1:14:25] All right. Dave: [1:14:26] We're halfway through. Tara: [1:14:27] Fuck. Dave: [1:14:28] Let's hear the scores. Bobby: [1:14:29] It's pretty close. Tara: [1:14:31] Sarah and I are tied with three points each. Bobby has two. Dave: [1:14:34] All right, Bobby, that means you are in the Grossworth Equalizer Challenge Zone. Bobby: [1:14:39] Yes. Dave: [1:14:45] All right, Bobby, we got lots and lots of Trivial Pursuit and related card games for you to choose from. Do you have any preference here? Too bad. You got to pick a number. Bobby: [1:14:57] Pick a number, two, one, and seven. I'm six. Dave: [1:15:01] I regret to inform you, you have picked the off-brand generic television trivia game set. That's the bad news. The good news is there's only five questions. So you have to go through instead of six, three of five for your points. And if you sweep it with only five questions, we're going to give you a whole bunch. All right. So two questions at stake. If you sweep it, four, which is a lot of points for a one-point game. Tara: [1:15:23] Good luck. Dave: [1:15:24] All right. Sarah: [1:15:24] Good luck. Bobby: [1:15:25] Thank you. Dave: [1:15:25] Each question is for a particular decade. We're gonna go from the most recent to the least recent for you. 1990s and above. In Seinfeld, who revealed that Kramer's first name was Cosmo? Bobby: [1:15:41] Um, his mom. Dave: [1:15:42] His mom is correct. Yes. One point. 1980s. Who played Arnold on different strokes? Bobby: [1:15:50] Gary Coleman. Dave: [1:15:51] Who? Bobby: [1:15:52] Gary, uh, Gary Coleman. Dave: [1:15:54] Gary Coleman is correct. Bobby: [1:15:56] I thought there was some way I had to pronounce it because of the apostrophe in the tongue. Dave: [1:15:59] I heard a J when I wanted a G, so I just wanted clarity. 1970s. Get this one and you'll have two points. What was the exotic tropical island where visitors' dreams come true? Bobby: [1:16:12] Fantasy Island. Tara: [1:16:14] You now have two more points. Dave: [1:16:15] Get these last two, and we'll double it. 1960s. What was the name of the fort that soldiers were stationed at in F Troop? Fort something. Bobby: [1:16:32] Fort Lincoln. Dave: [1:16:36] Fort Courage, but you still got two points. So let's update the scores. Bobby: [1:16:40] I'll take the two. That's good. Tara: [1:16:41] Okay. Everything is different now. Sarah and I are tied with three points, but Bobby's in the lead with four. Sarah: [1:16:49] Nicely done. Dave: [1:16:50] A strategic retreat by Bobby in the first half gave him the equalizer zone and now the lead. And also he starts off round two. Just to let you know, I've swapped out the order of follow-ups just to keep everything sort of on balance there. Here we go for Bobby. He'd shimmer, then drop to all fours, while fur tore through blazers and pores. He'd pounce, then he'd flee to return casually with garb unwrinkled as before. Tara: [1:17:21] A Dave fave. Bobby: [1:17:22] Oh my goodness. This is, if this is what I think it is, this was my 11th birthday sleepover viewing. Dave: [1:17:29] Is it manimal? It is manimal. Of course it's manimal. Bobby: [1:17:32] Yes. Dave: [1:17:33] Severity Bunting. A band of outcasts on call. One zapped through the streets like a squall. She moved things with thought. He shrank when he ought. And none of it made sense at all. Sarah: [1:17:50] I don't know. It's not the Tomorrow People, is it? Dave: [1:17:54] It is not. We move to Bobby now for the steal. Bobby: [1:17:58] I think I know this, and as someone who hasn't watched any Marvel stuff in a long time, I'm impressed if this is right. Is it New Mutants? No. Okay, then I'm not impressed. Dave: [1:18:09] It is not New Mutants. We move to Tara. This show is from 1985 on NBC. Tara: [1:18:14] Is this Misfits of Science? Dave: [1:18:16] Misfits of Science is the correct answer. Yes. Sarah: [1:18:19] I thought they had more than one season. Tara: [1:18:21] Yes. Dave: [1:18:21] A star from the tabloids was dead, but floated near someone instead. She'd knock down a plate, then rattle the gate and leave him bright red as he pled. I think this is the toughest one. Tara: [1:18:37] Okay, good. Because I have no idea. A star from the tabloids was dead. Dave: [1:18:42] You've mentioned this show before. so you know it exists. Tara: [1:18:47] Well, it can't be the ghost in Mrs. Muir because Mrs. Muir is presumably the alive one, but I'll just say that anyway. Dave: [1:18:54] Incorrect. We go to Sarah for a steal. Sarah: [1:18:58] Uh, my mother, the car. Bobby: [1:19:02] Good guess. Dave: [1:19:03] Bobby, this show started in 1983 on NBC. Bobby: [1:19:08] Oh, no. I had an idea, and it's definitely not from 1983. Dave: [1:19:11] What was your idea? Bobby: [1:19:13] I wasn't, wasn't Courtney Cox on a show about tabloid people where there was a kind of central crime? Tara: [1:19:19] Oh, yeah, dirt. Bobby: [1:19:19] Yes. Dave: [1:19:20] It's not that. And dirt is not in the quiz. Bobby: [1:19:23] Just so you know. Oh, okay. Dave: [1:19:24] All right, guess here. Bobby: [1:19:25] Guess here. A-Team spinoff. A-Team CSI. Dave: [1:19:32] That's not the B-Team. Sarah: [1:19:33] A-Team Eternal. Dave: [1:19:34] This show is called Jennifer Slept Here. It is about a Marilyn Monroe-style ghost that haunts a boy. Tara: [1:19:41] Wow. Dave: [1:19:42] But nobody else can see, and she's always crazing mischief, and he has trouble with all of that going on. Sarah: [1:19:49] Yeah. Tara: [1:19:49] Jennifer. Dave: [1:19:50] All right, back to Bobby. They warned of a jet and a scheme. Dismiss as a crank hacker team. They once backed a weird fed who chased what we dread. They died but came back upstream. Bobby: [1:20:06] Is this the Lone Gunman? Dave: [1:20:09] It is the Lone Gunman. Tara: [1:20:10] Correct. Dave: [1:20:11] With their weird 9-11 episode a few months before 9-11 itself in 2001. Sarah: [1:20:17] Oh, Jesus. Yeah, that's right. Dave: [1:20:19] All right, this is question 17. Tara: [1:20:21] It's pretty good. Dave: [1:20:22] It is for Sarah D. Bunting. He looked like a kid in the hall, but wasn't from Earth at all. He'd glance and you'd float, then mind read your goat while dodging the feds after roll call. Sarah: [1:20:40] If I get this right, I may have to retire. Dave: [1:20:43] Okay. Sarah: [1:20:44] From game time. Is this The Powers of Matthew Starr? Dave: [1:20:49] It is The Powers of Matthew Starr from 1982. Sarah: [1:20:54] That kid was so cute. It came on before Knight Rider. I will not be taking questions. Dave: [1:21:01] All right, Tara, you ready? Tara: [1:21:03] Yes. Dave: [1:21:04] He dashed through a lab in a blast, got muscles and spandex real fast. He punched out a tank, then just jogged to the bank. That kid from the creek called him dead. Tara: [1:21:17] The Flash. Dave: [1:21:19] The 1990 version of The Flash from CBS. Back to Bobby, this is question. They gathered with fondue and cheese, dropped car keys with casual ease. Some rules were unspoken, some vows were just broken, and marriages swayed in the breeze. Bobby: [1:21:44] Oh, I can picture this show. What was it called? Oh, it's driving me crazy. I'm just going to say The Ice Storm. Dave: [1:21:58] Tara Ariana, what's this show? Tara: [1:22:01] I don't know either. Dave: [1:22:03] Don't know? Tara: [1:22:04] Giving up? Dave: [1:22:04] Like that? Tara: [1:22:05] Okay, read it again. Read it again. Dave: [1:22:07] Okay. They gathered with fondue and cheese, dropped car keys with casual ease. Tara: [1:22:12] Oh. Swingtown. Dave: [1:22:15] Swingtown is correct, yes. Bobby: [1:22:16] Yes. Could not remember the name of that. Dave: [1:22:18] A swing town somehow on CVS. Back to Sarah. A headache would knock him askew. Then time spun and altered his view. His timelines would bend. He'd fix them, but not mend. While breaking the life that he knew. Sarah: [1:22:40] Before I answer, was I supposed to get this one? Dave: [1:22:43] It's just random. Sarah: [1:22:45] Oh, uh-huh. Okay. Dave: [1:22:47] As far as you know. Sarah: [1:22:48] Journeyman? Dave: [1:22:49] Journeyman is correct, yes. 2007 NBC. Sarah: [1:22:53] Mm-hmm. RIP. Dave: [1:22:56] Each time that his heart ceased to pound, he'd wake up alone, water-bound. A scalpel in hand, he tries to understand why death left him always around. Tara: [1:23:07] Forever? Dave: [1:23:08] Forever, yes. The immortal medical examiner show with that guy, Horatio Hornblower. Tara: [1:23:15] Yohan Griffith. Dave: [1:23:16] That is forever from 2014. All right. Everybody's last question is here. So let's get the scores. Tara: [1:23:24] Okay. It's still really close. Sarah's got five. Bobby's at six. I have seven. Dave: [1:23:29] All right. So mathematically, anybody can get into the end game here. Let's start with Bobby. Here you go, Bobby. A ship full of strangers at sea saw patterns where none ought to be through doors in the mined and codes refined, t'was more in RAM than reality. A one-season show. Bobby: [1:23:54] Now, I have not watched this show to know if this happened, but is this Dr. Odyssey? Dave: [1:23:59] It is not. Tara: [1:24:00] It's not canceled yet, okay? It's just extremely likely to be canceled. Bobby: [1:24:06] That's true. Dave: [1:24:07] Tara, can you pick this show up? Tara: [1:24:08] No, I have no idea what a boat, other boat show would be. Dave: [1:24:13] All right, Sarah, this is yours to steal. I can also let you know this show debuted 2022 on Netflix. Do you want to hear the poem again? Tara: [1:24:22] Oh, I don't remember what it's called, but now I know what you're talking about. Sarah: [1:24:24] Yes, I do. Dave: [1:24:26] A ship full of strangers at sea saw patterns where none ought to be through doors in the mind and codes refined. Twas more in RAM than reality. Sarah: [1:24:41] I thought it was one of those like mid aughts number shows that was on like TBS and they were trying to do sci-fi and shit like that. And now I can't get my mind unstuck from that, even though it's not that. Maybe they remade it. Who knows? The 4400? Dave: [1:24:58] Well, you're right about the number part. Sarah: [1:25:00] Really? Dave: [1:25:01] This is 1899. It was a show about... Sarah: [1:25:05] I don't think I ever heard of it. Dave: [1:25:05] We watched the first episode, remember? Tara: [1:25:07] Oh, God, it's so boring. I don't think we finished it. Dave: [1:25:09] So the end of it, and spoilers, oh, the end of it is it was all a computer making this simulation. Sarah: [1:25:15] Huh. Tara: [1:25:15] Did we even get to the end of the pilot? Dave: [1:25:17] Oh, the pilot? I don't think so. matrix okay this is so full of artifice we cannot stand it so sarity bunting are you ready for your last show she married then crashed in the sticks with dancers all chasing their kicks the chatter was fast their pirouettes vast but quirks never pull in the clicks. Sarah: [1:25:41] Elote? I don't know. Is it A12? Dave: [1:25:46] All right, Bobby, she guessed Elote. So I'm just asking you to think about it. Bobby: [1:25:51] Okay. I hate to make you do this, but will you read it again? Dave: [1:25:55] She married, then crashed in the sticks, with dancers all chasing their kicks. The chatter was fast, the pirouettes vast, but quirks never pulled in the clicks. Bobby: [1:26:07] Is this? So I'm going to go one back. Dave: [1:26:11] Yeah oh okay go ahead no no i was i was egging you on to make a good decision. Bobby: [1:26:18] Oh wait is it that at wall.

Dave: [1:26:26] Heads yes fine heads oh good steal all right tara yeah last question on regulation he bought a jalopy on a lark but sense something weird in the spark. It nags through the dash, block every crash. Truly a backseat matriarch. Tara: [1:26:44] Is this my mother of a car? Dave: [1:26:46] This is my mother of a car from 1965. Bobby: [1:26:48] That's a grand finale. Sarah: [1:26:50] I can't believe that actually won anyone anything. Tara: [1:26:54] Sarah finished with five.

Tara: [1:27:04] Congratulations. Dave: [1:27:06] Let's hear the tiebreaker. Limerick, first person to shout out the answer, wins a steam meal for future use. Are you ready? Bobby: [1:27:14] Yes. Dave: [1:27:15] It barreled through plots on a track with stories no charm could unpack. A nuclear ride where logic had died and budgets derailed off the back. Tara: [1:27:27] Super Train. Dave: [1:27:28] Super Train is correct. From 1979, NBC, Love Boat on a nuclear power train. Tara: [1:27:34] Another TM Dave fave. Sarah: [1:27:44] Well done, Tara. Well done, Dave. Tara: [1:27:46] Well done, everybody, especially Dave. Dave: [1:27:48] That one was for Bobby, because he's a poet. Bobby: [1:27:51] It means a lot to me. Thank you very much.
