It's been a long time coming, but in this episode, Steve and I look at some of their best of the year.... the year of 2018 that is! Again, it's been a long time, but we still have some good stuff here, including some of the best films, comics, tv and more as usual from the year, including a different format for this where the fellas talk about three of their favorite aspects and items of the year (female directors and their perspective, DC Comics' Mister Miracle, BBC America's Killing Eve, Netflix's Aggretsuko, Spider-Man representation and The Simpsons memes). There's also breaking down Jordan Peele's Us (cause it was seen recently by the time of this recording) and much more. Catch up with us, as we catch up with time itself! Also, huge note that can't be overlooked; this episode was recorded on Steve's birthday in 2019! 1. Van Lathan and Rembert Brown were the guests on The Bill Simmons Podcast when they were discussing Nipsey Hussle's death before this episode was recorded. 2. The narrative of Chloe Zhou's The Rider takes place in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. 3. There are 8 episodes in each of the two seasons of Killing Eve.
The executive who oversees AMC, BBC America, SundanceTV and IFC discussed the tangible and intangible benefits that come from fielding a sleeper hit like BBC America's "Killing Eve." The AMC Networks entertainment president also discusses the company’s use of "forensic" audience tracking data to better understand how to make the most of its programming across its linear and digital platforms. Barnett says her goal after being promoted in November to the group-level role is to keep AMC Networks "punching above its weight" as a purveyor of high-end content.

This week, Allison and Clint (along with Kate Kulzick) are joined by New York drag queen extraordinaire Sutton Lee Seymour to discuss that most hallowed of RuPaul's Drag Race holidays - Snatch Game! Together, we discuss the tops, bottoms and everything in between for season 10's iteration of the classic Drag Race challenge, and also hearken back to Snatch Games of yesteryear. Along the way, we find new ways to gush about BBC America's Killing Eve, gab about the remixed fourth season of Arrested Development, and get a crash course in Steven Universe lore from Kate.
