470: Don't Let Reservation Dogs Lie

Reservation Dogs is back on FX/Hulu this week, and Variety's Alison Herman is back on EHG to talk about the show's final season: realistic teenage-character arcs, spiritual cousins to Atlanta, and the meanings of "home." We went Around The Dial with This Fool, Minx's second season, and Hunted, aka "the darkest Amazing Race" (which we completely forgot we covered the American version of in a long-ago episode) before Tara took the solo on a Girls5Eva Canon pitch. The Glovers' future won, the former Arrow lost, and we set our minds to siblings of the small screen in Game Time. The bus is leaving, so charge up your phone for an all-new Extra Hot Great.

469: Should You Revere Praise Petey?

Ex-SNL head writer Anna Drezen teamed up with King Of The Hill co-creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge on Praise Petey, the story of a New York girl boss taking over her late father's doomsday cult; we tell you whether it's...well, doomed. Around The Dial takes us through the re-re-revived Futurama, the spinoff XO, Kitty, and the true crime miniseries Myth Of The Zodiac Killer. Mlle. Caroline presents the Abbott Elementary episode "Candy Zombies" for induction into The Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time we can really sink our teeth into.

468: Should You Visit Justified: City Primeval?

Justified is back, and so is Kathryn VanArendonk to talk about it: vibes versus process, when you can't replace Walton Goggins, what great villains know about themselves, and whether (...sigh) Kentucky was a character in the original. Then we went Around The Dial with The Real Housewives Of Jenna Ly-- er, New York, Project Greenlight, Dennis Quaid's Full Circle coif, and Hack My Home before Tara made the case for a second-season Detroiters episode as a Canon gem. Streaming shows won, Zaslav lost, and "band name, called it!" took on new meaning in a tube-tunes-adjacent Game Time from Rebecca. Curl up with a German Shepherd on steroids, take off that clip-on nose ring, and get comfy for an all-new Extra Hot Great.

467: Dishing On The Horror Of Dolores Roach

The Horror Of Dolores Roach has evolved from a one-person Broadway play to a podcast to a Prime Video series; Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence.com joins us to discuss the story's final (?) form. Around The Dial takes us through Couples Therapy, My Adventures With Superman, and Last Call. Erica pitches the Star Trek: Lower Decks episode "Terminal Provocations" for induction into The Canon.

465: Do The Stars Align For I'm A Virgo?

Sorry to Bother You creator Boots Riley is back with a delightful Marxist fairy-tale dramedy (...right? Let's just go with it) on Amazon Prime, and Dan D'Addario is back in the guest chair for the first time since EHG Mark 1 to talk about it: how much overt Marxism it gets away with given where we're watching it, the care of the world-building, Jharrel Jerome's storytelling superpowers, and more. We went Around The Dial with Judge Steve Harvey, And Just Like That..., and McEnroe, and Mlle. Caroline was NOT a crackpot for thinking we don't need pilot episodes anymore. After Tara crammed us all into a phone booth for her Saved By The Bell (2020) Canon presentation, Ryan Seacrest won, Will & Grace lost, and we all made sure to park wheels-in for a Bay-Area-based non-regulation Game Time. Don't let silence happen -- it's an all-new Extra Hot Great!

464: Reflecting On Black Mirror

Black Mirror has returned for Season 6 with five new episodes of (as usual) varying quality; Brandi Brown has also returned to discuss and rank them! Around The Dial takes us through The Righteous Gemstones; Ovation as a background cable channel; Season 2 of The Cleaner on BritBox; and an important line reading from a Camp LeJeune-related class-action legal solicitation commercial. Sarah makes the case for the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Avatar" to be inducted into The Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that's really into labels. Pause the latest hit Streamberry drama and listen!

463: Should You Hang With The Full Monty?

More than a quarter century after The Full Monty unexpectedly charmed movie audiences, the boys are back for a limited-series TV sequel -- and not everyone on the panel is as charmed by Round 2. Mo Ryan returns to the guest chair to talk about unmitigated in "dramedies," whether TFM: The TV Show started as a feature-length sequel, and the correct amount of onscreen nudity. We went Around The Dial with Never Have I Ever, I, Tina, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds before Tara hoped a second-season episode of Reservation Dogs would get adopted into the Canon. Bill Hader won, The Crowded Room lost, and Game Time had us scouring the index of Mo's book. Grab a bag of chips and run: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great!

Prime Video's newest international import is Deadloch, an Australian comedy that parodies the tropes of dark season-long murder mysteries from national treasures Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan. Actual Australian Anthony Farrell joins us to talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through The Ultimatum: Queer Love, Fear The Walking Dead, and 30 For 30. Julie presents the thirtysomething episode "Mr. Right" for induction into the Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that has us hearing double.

461: Sticking Around For I Think You Should Leave

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson is back on Netflix for Season 3, and actor/comedian/media mogul Will Hines is also back to talk about the season's best sketches, unique sketch-show rhythms, and whether Robinson is still TV's best screamer. We went Around The Dial with Platonic, The Night Agent, and Primo, and then relaxed by the pool with Chris's Lodge 49 Canon submission. Kenan Thompson won, Andy Cohen lost, and we rolled the dice in TV real estate during Game Time. Hop off the zipline and listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great!
