Have you felt completely overwhelmed when deciding what new show to watch these days? Us too. There's just so much content out there between network TV and numerous streaming platforms. Each week, we're going to try to break through the noise with TV watchers who can point us to the must-sees and steer us clear of the shows that maybe don't live up to the hype. This week, Larry talks television with Inkoo Kang, TV critic for the New Yorker, and Dominic Patten, senior editor & chief tv critic for Deadline. This week's shows include: This Fool [Season 2] (Hulu) Good Omens [Season 2] (Amazon Prime Video) Dark Winds [Season 2] (AMC) Twisted Metal (Peacock) Harley Quinn [Season 4] (Max) The Righteous Gemstones [Season 3] (HBO & Max) Survival of the Thickest (Netflix) Secret Invasion (Disney+)
No Labels, which pitches itself as a centrist movement to appeal to disaffected voters, has secured a considerable amount of funding and is working behind the scenes to get on Presidential ballots across the country. The group has yet to announce a candidate, but “most likely we'll have both a Republican and Democrat on the ticket,” Pat McCrory, the former governor of North Carolina and one of the leaders of No Labels, tells David Remnick. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are reportedly under consideration, but McCrory will not name names, nor offer any specifics on the group's platform, including regarding critical issues such as abortion and gun rights. That opacity is by design, Sue Halpern, who has covered the group, says. “The one reason why I think they haven't put forward a candidate is once they do that, then they are required to do all the things that political parties do,” she says. “At the moment, they're operating like a PAC, essentially. They don't have to say who their donors are.” Third-party campaigns have had significant consequences in American elections, and, with both Donald Trump and Joe Biden historically unpopular, a third-party candidate could peel a decisive number of moderate voters away from the Democratic Party. Plus, three New Yorker critics—Doreen St. Félix, Alexandra Schwartz, and Inkoo Kang—discuss why so many scripted and reality shows use psychotherapy as a central plotline.

Inkoo co-hosts the All About Almodovar podcast, and has previously written about film, TV, and culture for Slate, MTV News, Los Angeles Times, Atlantic, and many other places.

Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder discuss two of Almodóvar's most controversial films. First we talk about 1993's Kika, its uncontrollable plot, and how oddly the only scene that seems to work is the one where Almodóvar attempts to make rape funny. Then we get into 2011's The Skin I Live In, the film that divided us the most. We go through the chilly horror of it all, the movie's approach to the physical body, and why it made the skin Daniel lives in crawl.Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder.
Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder discuss Almodóvar's latest work, the short film The Human Voice. We talk about all the references he makes to his past films, how he's been obsessed with the subject matter his whole career, and the Tilda Swinton of it all.Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder.
Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder are joined by critic Alonso Duralde to discuss 2019's Pain and Glory, Almodóvar's most autobiographical work.
