2023/07/28

We’re swapping shows and spending a night streaming in each other’s shoes: Will Chris jive with sad jazz law procedural The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix? And will Dianne boldly go where no Dianne has gone before watching a sci-fi rom com episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+? But first! In the predictably apocalyptic news: Comcast doesn’t want ESPN (we called it!) but maybe the sports leagues do? Marvel’s Secret Invasion was a bust, but Barbenheimer is a hit! What does that say

We’re gathered in the Streamageddon war room with a clear-eyed (panicked), sober (not), and thoroughly researched (hastily googled) analysis of the shocking double strike that seems destined to paralyze TV and streaming productions for months to come. In less than 40 minutes we promise to (maybe) explain: Why Netflix might be willing to throw their “peers” in the AMPTP under the bus Which shows are still in production (and why!) Who stands to lose the most with the shift away from residuals And why

Join us as we cruise through the week’s other big streaming stories sipping champagne with Conor and the gang (like the HBO loving coastal elite we know you are): The Mario Movie broke records, but finding it on streaming will only break your brain.

After over a decade off the air the comedy Party Down is back, but can it still serve the laughs?

Rian Johnson’s Poker Face is a sly new case-of-the-week detective series anchored by Natasha Lyonne’s performance as Charlie Cale, a woman on the run with one special skill: She can always tell when someone is lying. Oh, and everywhere she goes someone seems to die. Thankfully the lie thing usually helps her solve the murders, so it all works out in the end! The series is arguably Peacock’s first bonafide hit, but is it any good? We unpack the pros and cons of the show’s throwback format: Inspired

This week we’re coming at you with a double feature of deja vu starring a pair of reboots: Night Court (NBC/Peacock) and That 90s Show (Netflix). Do these spiritual successors capture the essence of their original runs? And honestly, should they? The original Night Court was horny on main years before we even had a term for it, and That 70s Show thrived in the cynical heyday of early 2000s Fox.
