Anne Rice source material is back on TV, and Best Evidence's Eve Batey is back to talk about Mayfair Witches, the latest Rice IP to hit the small screen. Listen and find out whether anyone on the panel is going to keep watching, how realistic an Alexandra D'Addario neurosurgeon is, why Interview With The Vampire works better than this one, and when to stop reading Rice. We also went Around The Dial with Harry & Meghan, Slow Horses, The Circle, and "randomized" show Kaleidoscope, before Mlle. Caroline urged us to bet on Supernatural for the Nonac. Abbott Elementary won, various Housewives lost, and Rob Hartmann scrambled our brains with Game Time. Grab your thickest blue gel: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great. GUESTS
It's time again for a visit with Midday theatre critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of Maryland's regional stage. Today, Judy shares her thoughts on Macabaret, the whimsically macabre musical revue now on stage at Baltimore's Stillpointe Theatre. Written by Scott Keys and Rob Hartmann, Macabaret is a collection of darkly humorous story-songs dealing with everything from murderous spouses and evil cows to the Andrews Sisters and OJ Simpson. The Stillpointe Theatre cast is directed by Amanda Rife, with musical direction by Stacey Antoine. Macabaret continues at Stillpointe Theatre through December 10.

As yet another Margaret Atwood novel gets a TV adaptation, Allison Lowe Huff and Extra Hot Game Time impresario Rob Hartmann join us to talk about Alias Grace, Netflix/CBC's period prison drama. Tara and Allison discuss whether Mike Rinder has become The Pierce of Leah Remini: Scientology And The Aftermath, or if Remini and her nails are already an unstoppable team without him. Around The Dial takes us to At Home With Amy Sedaris, Shetland, Stranger Things, and Pickle And Peanut(and to a mea culpa regarding recent episodes of Little House On The Podcast). We ponder whether "Missing Time" is a Nonac-worthy episode of Miami Vice, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that knows its worth.

As Better Call Saul returns for its third season, Jeff Drake joins us to discuss the slow-burning premiere (with a few peeks ahead at its showier second episode, shhhh). Around The Dial clicks through the series finale of Switched At Birth, Amazon's under-the-radar spy show Patriot, and American Experience's three-part series, "The Great War." Jeff presents his case for the induction of Monty Python's Flying Circus's series premiere, "Whither Canada?," to the Canon. And after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we all learn that some demented maniac (you know you are, Rob Hartmann) has gamified F/M/K. All rise! TOPICS Lead Topic:

Our esteemed colleague Chris is back to talk about Iron Fist, a show only he among the panel managed to get more than a couple episodes into -- and what exactly the show's problem is, from bad fights to worse accents. We went around the dial with Catfish, Love, Happy Endings, and a violent vintage cologne ad before Caroline tried to "extract" a Canon victory from us for a Golden Girls episode. RuPaul won, Rita Ora lost, and Rob Hartmann took a letter in this week's Game Time. Kick your shoes off, put on some grimy pajamas, and settle in for an all-new Extra Hot Great. TOPICS Lead Topic:

Our esteemed colleague Monty Ashley covers most of the comic-book shows on Previously.TV, and he's back to talk about superhero TV from Arrow to, er, Zagents of SHIELD. We wrapped Project Project Greenlight, recommended Maura Murray materials in The Blotter Presents, and went around the dial with ballet, buried treasure, Survivor's eternal allure, Aussie TV recs, and Cheese of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. Monty made his pitch to put an It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode in the Nonac; Jones won and Trump lost; and the rule of threes ruled Game Time in another Rob Hartmann creation. Who saved the day and who got stuck in the phone booth? Listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great and find out! GUESTS

Now that Playing House's second season is well underway, we've invited Nick Rheinwald-Jones, one of its staunchest fans, to join us for a discussion of how things are going so far.

Around The Dial stops at Regular Show, Show Me A Hero, Drunk History, Project Greenlight, Hannibal, and the apparently infinite galaxy of Star Wars toy ads from the '80s. Nick makes a case for the induction of the Veronica Mars episode "Spit And Eggs" into the Canon, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, we dive into Rob Hartmann's latest diabolical Game Time.
