Getting Into The Ring With Heels
With your co-host panel still smarting over the death of Netflix's wrestling dramedy GLOW, Starz has dared to bring its own scripted wrestling project to the screen in the form of Michael Waldron's Heels; Joe Reid -- a fan of both wrestling AND TV -- joins us to talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through Reservation Dogs, The White Lotus (briefly), Fantasy Island, Big Brother, Animal Kingdom, and What If...?. David Ellis Dickerson challenges us to create a TV series that will use the talents of both January Jones and David Duchovny to the fullest advantage. Joe presents the Girls5Eva episode "Cease And Desist" for induction into The Canon. Then we name the week's Winner and Loser, and head straight into a Game Time that gets a little romantic. Get into your spangliest leggings and listen!
