Should You Press Play On Tetris?
Episode 453, Apr 05, 2023, 09:00 AM
Monty Ashley on the new "thriller" from Apple+, plus a Moonlighting Nonac submission and the return of 19 Questions!
Monty returns to talk about Apple+'s rights-clearance/Cold-War espionage tale, Tetris, and how it stacks up against the actual game. Spoiler: most of the panel would have preferred playing to watching, but we did like some of the performances, and Sarah didn't mind a certain true-crime trifecta. Next, we went Around The Dial with Unstable, The Exhibit, Yellowjackets tasting notes from our esteemed colleague Eve Batey, and a Perry Mason credits game before Monty asked "will they or won't they" about a late-season episode of Moonlighting. Gehrig won, Fleiss lost, and we interrogated the origins of various TV objects in another Game Time round of 19 Questions. Grab a lawyer and your passport, it's an all-new Extra Hot Great!
