We open with the headline everyone’s talking about: Saturday Night Live host Sabrina Carpenter dropping not one but two F-bombs during her performance. Was it an accident—or marketing genius? The crew recalls when saying that word on air could end your career (see: Charles Rocket, 1980) and marvels at how little anyone seems to care now. That morphs into a look back at TV’s most shocking live moments, including the Bud Dwyer tragedy, and a reminder that some things on television really can’t be unseen.

From there the discussion shifts to streaming supremacy. The consensus? Apple TV+ might quietly be the new number one. Between prestige hits like The Lost Bus, Shrinking, and Lessons in Chemistry—and now Brad Pitt’s F1 racing movie—Apple keeps outclassing competitors while HBO Max raises prices. Still, the question lingers: will F1 actually make Americans care about Formula One racing? Angelo’s doubtful, Rhea’s open-minded, and Glenn just wants to avoid another algorithm-driven flop.

Naturally, that launches a Philly-centric tangent: the upcoming TV series about the making of Rocky that’s currently filming around the city. The gang debates whether Sylvester Stallone’s absence from the project is a bold move or a missed opportunity. Either way, they agree the story—and the city—deserve another moment in the spotlight.

Jay’s standing question of the week then takes over: If you could make a “making-of” series about any movie, what would it be? Glenn picks Caddyshack, calling it the most chaotic comedy production ever. Rhea goes with The Birdcage, imagining the behind-the-scenes magic between Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, and Nathan Lane. The group riffs on how both films were equal parts brilliance and madness, the kind of creative chaos that just doesn’t exist anymore.

Before signing off, everyone shares their weekly watchlist. Rhea recommends Maigret on PBS Masterpiece—a stylish French detective show that’s surprisingly addictive. Glenn throws in And Then There Were None on Prime Video, an elegant Agatha Christie mystery, and The Lowdown on Hulu, a gritty noir starring Ethan Hawke. Angelo ends with The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix, a body-cam-style thriller that hits hard and stays with you long after the credits roll.

LISTEN NOW to stay up to date on all you need to know regarding the latest and greatest in television and the big screens.

A moment that’s been 180 episodes in the making: the entire crew finally recording in person. We start the show with a heartfelt discussion about the passing of Diane Keaton, whose legacy sparks both nostalgia and debate. From Annie Hall to Baby Boom to Something’s Gotta Give, the crew unpacks what made her such an everywoman icon. Would a “modern Diane Keaton” even be possible in an era of Botox and CGI storytelling?

We then pivot to something far less wholesome.... Jared Leto. We dissect the flop of Tron: Ares and Leto’s mysterious Hollywood staying power. How does he keep getting cast in roles? Rhea explains Leto’s insider connections at Disney, while Angelo draws parallels to other once-golden stars such as De Niro and Will Ferrell.

We then get into California’s ban on overly loud streaming commercials. Is this actually good for advertisers and is there already a way to fix it with your smart TVs? We then have a conversation about bad TV mixing, over-hyped anchors, and SNL's eternally off-balance soundboard.

The spouses join in..... with Christina Black and Gal Cataldi giving their takes on their partner's TV habits. 

THEN: BRITISH CORNER: Rhea introduces Karen Pirie, a Scottish detective series on BritBox. How does the writing and binge-friendly episode format contribute to the show;s success? 

Angelo then reviews The Lost Bus on Apple TV+. It is  raw, emotional, and, according to the crew, one of McConaughey’s best performances in years.

Jay sits back as Angelo reviews “Handyman from Hell", Lifetime's new movie written and executively produced by Jay himself! Where did Jay get his motivation for the film? What is Angelo's and Rhea's thoughts? ( 00:24:42- 00:32:00)

How much does the gang at The TV Show care about TV?  Angelo Cataldi joins Jay and Rhea despite having Covid!  It's called commitment people, look it up!

There's so much happening in the world of TV that Angelo couldn't help himself: the team discusses the recent end of the WGA strike and what that might mean for the era of "peak TV" that we're living in (HINT: HIGHER PRICES).  Further, they discuss which streamers they would drop if prices DO go up (sorry Peacock!)

Then it's a bevy of reviews as Rhea breaks down British and Teen corner, Angelo has a review of The Saint of Second Chances, and Jay reviews the second season of The Murtaugh Murders, and the new Wham! documentary!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to discuss the quality of Thursday Night Football games and what it says about how much the NFL cares about the physical health of its players (SPOILER: NOT MUCH).

PLUS: Winning Time got ZASLOV'D (a word we just invented) and Bill Maher and Drew Barrymore got excoriated (rightly so) and we have takes on both events.  Rhea has British (German!?) and Teen corner, and Angelo has a review of Class Act and The Wrestlers.

We start the show by breaking down Taylor Swift’s box office takeover. Her new concert film pulled in over $33 million this weekend—crushing The Rock’s Smashing Machine and proving, once again, that Swifties might just be single-handedly keeping theaters alive. But is this really the path to saving cinema, or is it a one-off Taylor phenomenon? This leads us into a larger discussion on whether event-style experiences—like Barbenheimer—are the only way to get people off the couch and back into theaters.

We pivot to Saturday Night Live’s season premiere and its five new cast members. Has Lorne Michaels officially hit the creative wall after 50 years? This leads us into a debate on whether SNL’s problem is the cast, the writing, or simply a show refusing to admit it’s run out of things to say.

Angelo then gives his take on 'One Battle After Another'. Does he agree that it is as much of a cinematic masterpiece as Jay thinks it is?

THEN: BRITISH CORNER: Rhea reviews season four Apple TV’s Slow Horses. Why does Rhea think the show is so "smooth" How does the pacing of the show contribute to her review?

Angelo follows up with his review of Netflix’s Black Rabbit, starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law. Then, in response to Jay's movie recommendation last week, Angelo recommends a old time movie to remember what real storytelling looks like. What makes that older film feel more human, more emotional, and—frankly—more watchable than a $150 million modern epic like ' One Battle After Another'.

We wrap up with one big question: Is Jay a cinematic visionary… or just a man who spent $15 to watch elephant poop on the big screen? Either way, tune in next week to find out who’s right—and whether SNL finally finds a punchline.

Jay is back ashore and home just in time to referee a debate between Angelo and Rhea about the new season of The Lincoln Lawyer.  

Then, Angelo has FINALLY seen Oppenheimer, so of course Jay needs to spend a few minutes needing out about Christoper Nolan's monumental achievement (even though Angelo did think that it was about 90 minutes too long).

PLUS: Rhea has a throwback to the Blue Skies era on USA Network in with The Chelsea Detective, and Angelo has a CAN'T MISS recommendation with BS High.

All that AND an in-depth discussion about the curious reason why the NFL doesn't broadcast in 4K and whether or not that matters to the average sports fan.

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back for a discussion of the recent reveal that if ESPN was spun off into its own Direct-To-Consumer streaming service, it would likely have to cost somewhere between $30-40 to do the programming its currently doing and remain profitable.  The gang reveals whether they would ever pay $40 to watch ESPN (SPOILER: that's a big, fat NO!).

The gang then dives into cable TV and whether, for all the bellyaching we've done about it over the last 30 years, we were actually better off with a one stop shop for all our entertainment needs and which of the major streamers is best positioned to become the NEW cable.

PLUS: Rhea reviews the new Gal Gadot movie on British Corner, a look back at Stranger Things on Teen Corner, Angelo reviews the new season of Untold and the sitcom, Fisk.

All that and we haven't even mentioned the discussion of American Gladiators or famous sitcom retools!

Another action-packed episode recorded on the crystal-blue waters of Bermuda and it's a big one because it's JERK WEEK on The TV Show.  The Ringer made a list of the ultimate Pop Culture Jerks and Angelo, something of a jerk connoisseur, has a LOT of opinions about what makes a good jerk (hint: Larry David is NOT one, but Biff Tannen IS).

PLUS: The gang does follow-up on last week's discussion of Hijack, Rhea reviews season 3 of Only Murders in the Building, and Angelo has a review of Netflix's new show, Painkiller.

All that and even MORE with a discussion of whether reality show stars should be in SAG and just how dominant in the ratings pre-season football really is.

Angelo and Rhea are at the Jersey Shore and Jay is in Bermuda, but nothing stops this group of TV-obsessed podcasters from putting out their weekly show!

This week, Angelo, Rhea, and Jay celebrate the first Eagles game of the (pre)season with a discussion about the current state of NFL announcing and whether we think Tom Brady is ever going to make it as a color analyst.

Then, a new Ringer article has the crew talking about whether or not quality matters more than quantity when it comes to streaming services.

PLUS: a discussion of a possible Trump trial coming to TV, Angelo reviews the terrific new AppleTV+ series Hijack, Rhea does British and Teen corner, and the Bermuda telecom service somehow manages to keep the zoom connection strong through the entire show!

We lost two major figures this week and the gang talks about both of them: first Sinéad O'Connor, rightly or wrongly, is best remembered for ripping up a picture of the pope during her live SNL appearance in the 90s.  Angelo, Jay, and Rhea discuss her legacy, how they felt about the event then, and how they feel about it now.  This leads to a broader discussion of live TV controversies that they witnessed with their own eyes (SPOILER: Angelo has seen A LOT OF THEM).

The gang also discuss the loss of Paul Reubens, a comedic genius also taken down by a controversy in the 1990s.

PLUS: British and Teen corner, a discussion of Suits, a review The Beanie Bubble, a preview of the August TV we're most excited for, and LOTS MORE!

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back with reviews of both of the new blockbusters blasting through the land like the fallout from an atomic bomb: Barbie and Oppenheimer!

PLUS: Angelo and Rhea give us an in-depth look at what it was like working at WIP, which was a partner with the NFL, at the same time they were honestly assessing what they saw happening in the NFL.  Let's just say that the Eagles were not always thrilled at some of the things they had to say about them! 

And, as always, we have British corner, a retro TV pick from Angelo (and it's a great one), and much MUCH more!

It feels like old times as the gang discusses the effect that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike might have on football ratings this year.  Will more people watch because there will be less new television?  Or will the NFL remain in a bubble unto itself?

PLUS: Angelo reviews the new Wilt Chamberlain documentary on Showtime, Rhea reaches back into the early 2000s for British corner, Jay reviews Mission Impossible 7, and the team gives their best reality TV show picks to see you through the strike!

And to think, they managed to do all that even WITH Angelo's technical difficulties!

The AV Club put out their list of "The 30 Best Sketch Shows of All Time" and BOY did they ever make a few mistakes (SNL is number 13?! Really AV Club?!). The gang discusses sketch shows, which one is the best ever, and Jay makes a strong case that everyone should be watching I Think You Should Leave.

PLUS: The gang talks about how the WGA strike might be affected by the fact that there is SO MUCH TV to watch right now.  Jay takes a walk down memory lane (did you have a subscription to TV Guide and examine it like the Talmud every Fall?), Rhea does British Corner, and Angelo and Jay's daughter both agree that Judd Nelsons' nostrils are TOO BIG (trust us, it makes sense in context).

It's another ACTION PACKED episode and you're not gonna want to miss it!

We start the show by giving our thoughts on HBO’s ‘Task’. From the same creators of “Mayor of Kingstown’, how do feel it matches up against the long running HBO franchise? This leads us into a discussion as to whether we grade shows differently based on if we know the area it takes place in.

Kimmel and Colbert had a joint simulcast on each other shows the other night. This leads us into a discussion about the overwhelming uproar on Kimmel and Colbert‘s suspensions. From our conversation last episode, is the recent Jimmy Kimmel situation (and the outcry that occurred from it) a clear indication that the first amendment is here to stay due to the self policing by the American people? Likewise, whatever happened to the late night host hating each other? Do we miss this and, most importantly, do we want it back?

Despite filming not finished, Christopher Nolan’s new movie, The Odyssey, has already has begun selling out in IMAX theaters across the country. This leads us into a short discussion on whether the screen size affects our movie going experiences. Are movies being made today even worth seeing in bigger screens, such as IMAX? Our answers might surprise you.

THEN: British Corner. Rhea reviews the sixth season of ‘Unforgotten’ on Acorn. As one of her favorite British shows of all time, why did she wait until the whole season came out to review it? What does this have to say about how Acorn, and British shows as a whole, release their content? Why is this murder mystery, in particularly this season, so intriguing and such a must watch in Rhea’s eyes?

Angelo reviews Netflix’s 'Black Rabbit'. What about Jason Bateman‘s performance in this show makes it a must watch? He also give a cliff hanger for a British Rom- Com for Rhea to review next week.

Jay finishes up the show by giving us, what he believes, is the best movie of this decade. What movie is it and why must you go see it this weekend? How does the director play into this glowing review?

Angelo, Rhea, and Jay are back to continue discussing the best TV show of the The Bear, which leads to a discussion as to whether it's better for a series to drop its whole season at once or if it's better to dole them out one episode a week.  

And THAT leads Jay into the most demented monologue he's had on the show, yet.  In Rhea's words: "Your family needs to come home from Europe AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!" You won't want to miss it.

PLUS: Angelo reviews Fatal Attraction, British Corner, Teen Corner, and a sneak peek at next week's craziness!

Then, Jesse Watters is taking over for Tucker Carlson and the big question is whether any personality can save Fox News's nosediving ratings.  Angelo, Jay, and Rhea try to determine whether there are any other personalities so big that they could take a whole network down with them.

PLUS: British Corner and Teen Corner, a review of You Hurt My Feelings AND No Hard Feelings, and an in-depth discussion of which streaming service won't be around 12 months from now!

PLUS: The gang discusses Brett Baier's amazing interview of Donald Trump and what makes for a good interviewer (Angelo is one of the all-time best interviewers, so his insight is much appreciated on this!)

The crew also do a DEEP DIVE on the the debacle that was The Flash and whether or not an actor's personal life affects whether we'll see the movie or show.  Jay does a retro review of The MIddle, Rhea reviews Dead Loch, and Angelo reviews the first episode of the new season of Black Mirror.

PLUS: a review of the new Eva Longoria movie Flamin' Hot and a discussion as to whether or not a "true story" needs to be "true" for it to be "good".

American Idol had an audience of 38 million a generation ago for its season 2 finale. On Sunday night, it got under 6 million for the last show of the 2023 season. Why is it still on?

Also Rhea gives us tips for British TV and teens, and Angelo has some great news about two shows that you will love (he hopes.) . Also, don't forget to watch the final episode of Succession on Sunday night. Jay Black will be back next week to obsess over it.

We start the show with a heartfelt message regarding the Jimmy Kimmel situation and the current state of the first amendment in our country. We dive more into the details of the situation, the first amendment as a whole, and give our thoughts and opinions on the situation.

We then get into Jimmy Kimmel's return itself. His opening monologue, statements, etc. Are we more impressed by what he DID NOT say than by what he did say? We then get into which prominent figures stood up on the issue and who didn't. Lastly, we answer the hardest question of them all. Where where do we go from here?

We then switch to a more lighthearted subject……BRITISH CORNER: Rhea reviews the dark mystery series ‘The Crow Girl’ on Acorn . What makes this show so “layered”? Angelo finishes the show with a recommendation of his own, the Netflix documentary ‘aka Charlie Sheen’. Will this documentary give you a different view of the controversial actor?

Rhea Hughes is back and not a second too soon as she joins Angelo Cataldi and Jay Black for a rollicking discussion of the disastrous moves being made by Discovery Networks as it makes a set of baffling decisions regarding HBO Max (oh, sorry, it's just "Max" now).

PLUS, the gang discusses all the drama going on with Love is Blind -- not only did Netflix's second attempt at a livestream fail utterly, but there is word from behind the scenes that the cast is being sleep deprived and being coerced into making dumb decisions (the dumbest of which is simply being on the show!)

We're joined again by Succession expert (and Angelo's wife!) Gail Cataldi to talk about this week's all-timer of an episode.  SPOILER ALERT, we talk a lot about what happens in S04E03 of Succession, so, if you haven't seen it... now would be the time to watch!

PLUS, with Rhea attending to her sick dog (let's all say a prayer for Judy!), Angelo fills in for both British Corner AND teen corner. 

All that, plus Jay reviews Air, we do a deep dive into The Hollywood Reporter's discussion of all the problems at Prime Video, and we talk about YouTube's INSANE pricing scheme for The Sunday Ticket.

It's an action-packed episode and you're not gonna want to miss it!
