Heating Things Up With Our Summer TV Preview

Episode 459,   May 17, 2023, 09:00 AM

First-time guest Phillip Maciak joins us to discuss what we're looking forward to (and...not).

The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are nearly upon us, and there's only one thing on all our minds: what shows are we going to be watching? The New Republic's TV critic Phillip Maciak joins us for the first time as we all share our picks for the shows we're into; the shows we SHOULD be into, but aren't; and the shows we feel NO ONE should be into. Philip makes the case for the pilot of The Americans to be inducted into the Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that may require parental guidance. Make yourself a nice Arnold Palmer (or a Negroni; you're an adult) and join us!
