Mids ·

2026/04/22

In podcasting, your most important tool—more important than any vocal technique, any technical skill—is your ability to twist the facts of a TV series to your own advantage. This week, we enter the world of USA Network for the mid-2000's spy comedy (?) Burn Notice. This is our first entry into "blue sky" television. We are thrilled to join Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan), Fi (Gabrielle Anwar), the mom (Sharon Gless), Bruce Campbell, and a Guy Fieri type guy as they do spy things in Miami, Florida

I want to shout out Deniz Gamze Ergüven for directing the episode of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale that we reviewed this week.

This episode deals with things a little heavier than our normal fare, but we never know what we're gonna get each week. We hope it is still a fun and interesting listen.I'll note that we recorded this several years ago so forgive us for not addressing how bad everything is.Shout out to Kate Bush
