Chad Powers- OMG. I listen to some shows while I exercise in the morning, and it is not good to do that with Chad Powers. I’m in the middle of trying to get my step in while laughing uncontrollably. There were so many great lines. The wolves carrying the babes off, or “I think he is of the woods”. I would renew this show immediately. This is something special. Glen Powell is getting that Emmy nomination.

High Potential- This AD could be so much better. I feel like I gave a company a lot of shit, and they just changed their name. It’s like eating out and getting food poisoning, and then spending your time blasting Wang’s Sushi online only to one day find out that in the same location with the same employees is Wong’s Sushi. “We’re not the same! We changed the A to an O!” yes, but your product is still liquid shit.

The Gold- I had a deja vu feeling when I saw PBS was starting a new show with Hugh Bonneville. But I checked it out on the app with audio description, and sure enough. I’ve seen this. I still watched part of it, until my memory was fully jogged. It even has the audio description track Media Access made for Paramount Plus. It actually says Paramount Plus. On PBS. LOL. This is what happens when we defund public broadcasting. they become the third run home for a British show that went to Paramount Plus first, and then over a year later to PBS.

The Runarounds- Wyatt’s useless mother sold the Runarounds out for drugs.So, they have to get their gear back from a dealer named Spider who is the kind of dealer who hits back with thug references to things like the NPR podcast Fresh Air. LOL. what? He’s a dangerous drug dealer, but he’s also really interested in current events, and supports his local broadcasters. did he get the tote bag?

The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox- Finished the series, which has Amanda seeking closure from the prick who got her sent to jail. This was a solid show, i intend to review it. I might not, so if I don’t, you know that I liked it, and I’m never travelling to Italy.

the Daily Show-Jon Stewart does his usual magic in the first half, and spends the second half talking to a guy about the dangers of AI. Stop using an algorithm as your friend. it isn’t a real person. AI would be fine, if people weren’t using it for therapy.

Only Murders In The Building- Meryl Streep is back! As is the robot. Oliver gets to spend some much needed time with his new wife whose apartment had a fire, so she lost basically everything, and Mabel needs to make up with The, and Charles is over sharing. Special guests include Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Dianne Wiest, and Tea Leoni.

Say Something!
