Podcast appearances and mentions of rhea hughes

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back and this week Hugh Laurie said the quiet part out loud, and the internet still hasn't recovered. After a freelance critic named Janet Murray posted on X that House has "the same narrative every episode," Laurie responded with a thread so sarcastic it went viral — cataloguing every alternative structure they tried, comparing the formula to Bach and Frida Kahlo, and closing with "I look forward to your first novel." The internet mobbed Murray immediately. But here's the thing: she's not wrong. House is formulaic — that's what procedurals are. Laurie's real defense wasn't "no it isn't." It was that if all you see is the formula, it wasn't meant for you. Is that the most honest thing a creator has ever said in public about their own work, or is it exactly what every creator thinks and should never, ever say out loud?THEN: Spielberg's Disclosure Day opens Friday. Reviews are calling it his best film in 20 years, with box office projections between $35 and $59 million. For Spielberg. Three of his last five films lost money (West Side Story, The Fabelmans, The BFG) roughly $380 million in losses combined. The Fabelmans is one of the best films of the decade and grossed $25 million total. Is Spielberg the most underrated working director in Hollywood right now?ALL THAT PLUS:  George R.R. is FROZEN OUT of The House of the Dragon, Angelo reviews Riot in Cell Block 99, we get a report from Tribeca by Keane Black, and much, MUCH more!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay are back — and this week there are three numbers that have shaken Hollywood to its core: $81 million, $100 million, and $52 million. That's what three YouTube kids just grossed at the box office... a 20-year-old with Backrooms, a 26-year-old who turned $750K into Obsession's biggest second-weekend spike in modern box office history, and Markiplier, who walked out of a gaming channel and grossed $52 million on $3 million. The film school brats gave us Scorsese and Coppola. The VHS kids gave us Tarantino and Rodriguez. Is this the YouTube generation?THEN: Scott Pelley walked into a meeting and told his new boss, Nick Bilton, to his face that Bilton and Bari Weiss are "murdering 60 Minutes" to placate Donald Trump. CBS is still waiting on federal approval for the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger, Bilton has zero broadcast background, and Pelley just lit a match on his own legacy.

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea, and Jay — and they're leading with a question nobody in late night wants to answer: what happens when you spend your final week trying to "kill it" instead of doing what made the show great? Stephen Colbert's finale gave Billy Crystal, Ben Stiller, and Robert De Niro thirty seconds each, closed with green screen gimmicks, and ended with an 83-year-old Paul McCartney — who can't hit the notes anymore — turning off the lights on 11 years of television. Angelo, who hosted for over 30 years, gets unexpectedly honest about the ending he wishes he'd had. The gang debates whether any live show has ever actually nailed its goodbye... and the answer might surprise you.THEN: The Mandalorian and Grogu opened to $100 million over Memorial Day weekend.  That makes it the lowest-grossing Star Wars debut in franchise history, and Jay, a lifelong fan, chose a Gordon Ramsay burger over buying a ticket. Meanwhile, a $1 million horror movie called Obsession has made $75 million on word-of-mouth alone, and Backrooms, made by a 20-year-old YouTube creator, is tracking for a $50 million opening. Is this the year audiences stop showing up for IP and start demanding good movies?ALL THAT PLUS: The FCC is threatening to reclassify The View as a news program, Rhea recommends I Fought the Law on PBS Masterpiece, Angelo brings Crime 101 on Amazon Prime, and much MUCH MORE!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

Send us Fan MailAngelo, Rhea and Jay are BACK together to discuss The Crash, which follows Mackenzie Shrilla, convicted of murder after driving 100 mph into a wall and killing her boyfriend and his friend. And when cameras caught her father on film basically blessing his teenager's drug use, the internet — and Angelo — had thoughts.

Send us Fan MailJay Black and Rhea Hughes are back — and filling in for Angelo today is Philadelphia sports media legend Glen Macnow — and they're leading with a number that should terrify every executive at Disney: The Mandalorian and Grogu is tracking at $80 million for its May 22 opening, which would make it the lowest-grossing Star Wars debut in franchise history (below Solo, the movie the whole industry agreed was a catastrophe). Disney has been flooding its streaming service with Star Wars for years, and audiences have simply burned out: are streamers so desperate for content that they're systematically dismantling every billion-dollar movie brand Hollywood has left?  And does anyone actually watch the shows they get in return?THEN: Stephen Colbert's final episode airs May 21 and Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers, Oliver are rallying around him. It's genuinely touching. But it also made Jay think about Leno and Letterman (who loathed each other) and Carson freezing Joan Rivers out for life after she dared to get her own show. The whole industry is so aggressively supportive of each other now: is that warmth actually good for culture, or did we lose something real when TV rivalries died?ALL THAT PLUS: The Cannes Film Festival, Glen and Rhea bond hard over Deadloch, and Glen is wants everyone to watch Jury Duty: Company Retreat.IMPORTANT NOTE: Glen Macnow and Ray Didinger are going to be LIVE talking about patriotic sports movies on May 27th, at the Ritz Theater in Haddon Township, NJ.  If you don't get your tickets right now, you will spend the rest of your life explaining to people why you missed the greatest night of sports cinema conversation ever assembled!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to $77 million domestic and $233 million worldwide, proving that 125 million Americans over 50 — mostly women — will absolutely show up if you give them something worth watching. The question is whether the movie actually delivered: Angelo thinks Meryl Streep is chewing the scenery so aggressively she's a structural hazard, Jay thinks she's the only thing holding it together, and both of them agree Emily Blunt deserved a better movie than the one she got. Is this proof that Hollywood has been leaving a fortune on the table by over-indexing on teenage boys and Marvel sequels?THEN: SNL is the only late night institution the Trump administration hasn't gone after and the gang has theories about why.

Send us Fan MailJay and Rhea welcome Philadelphia Inquirer sports columnist and author Mike Sielski to the show — and they're leading with a number that should terrify every sports league in America: Peacock lost $432 million in a single quarter, with cumulative losses now north of $11 billion since 2020. The gang breaks down the real culprit: younger audiences don't watch sports the way Gen X and Boomers did, and streaming kills the "channel-flipping" behavior that created casual fans in the first place. Meanwhile, NHL playoff ratings are surging on basic cable while the NBA tanks on Amazon — and nobody in power seems willing to say the quiet part out loud.THEN: Michael opened to $200 million worldwide with a 40% critic score and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes — one of the widest gaps in movie history. Is this proof that professional film critics have completely lost the plot? The gang debates whether audiences go to biopics for journalism or for the music, why Bohemian Rhapsody set this template a decade ago, and what it means that newspapers like the Philadelphia Inquirer no longer even employ film critics.ALL THAT PLUS: Mike Sielski on why letting your subject have editorial control turns biography into whitewashing — and how he kept his independence writing about both Kobe Bryant and Sylvester Stallone.
