Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV 404: Did We Buy Into We Own This City?
The fact-based cop drama We Own This City brings co-creator David Simon back to Baltimore and to HBO; it also brings Santiago Melli-Huber back to the podcast to discuss this take on Baltimore's Gun Trace Task Force scandal. Around The Dial takes us through even more true crime with WeCrashed, Captive Audience, and Gaslit, plus The Baby and RuPaul's Drag Race. Santiago pitches the WandaVision episode "Previously On" for induction into The Canon; then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that might make players a bit crabby. Strap on your Kevlar vest and join us!
