BoJack Horseman dropped another season last weekend -- along with practically every other streaming show, but this simultaneously hilarious, dirty, and dark animated dramedy is the one we chose to discuss, along with the correct amount of Todd; background hilarity; and spot-on guest casting. We went Around The Dial with Forever, The First, Deutschland 83 and 86, the newest American Horror Story, and a years-in-the-making verdict on whether Dave hated Troy: Fall Of A City, and Adam hoped to declare mission accomplished on his submission of the Alias two-part second-season finale for the Canon. Aaron "Todd" Paul won, the Downey/Burnett household lost, and we went through the stages of TV relationships in a quotable Game Time from Caroline. Don't be a neigh-sayer: give Episode 219 a listen!

Yes, Telly Dot Click is back. Hurrah etc. And our talking points this week? Well, since you ask, they include (if only fleetingly) Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, Electric Dreams, Britain's Brightest Family, Troy: Fall Of A City, Bullseye, Call The Midwife, Civilisations, The Ruth Ellis Files, augmented reality and smartphone addiction.
In this anticipatory episode of WATCHING TROY FALL I speculate on which character from the Trojan War epic will serve the role of “sympathetic male lead” in the Netflix/BBC production TROY: FALL OF A CITY. I first review the resumes of the major Greek contenders – Agamemnon, Menealus, Achilles and Odysseus – before concluding that...
This entire “anticipatory episode” of WATCHING TROY FALL is dedicated to history’s original weapon of mass destruction: the Greek warlord Achilles. Achilles is the most challenging character from the entire Trojan War Epic to “translate” to contemporary audiences. The screenwriters (and actors) of TROY: FALL OF A CITY will encounter massive editorial and acting decisions...
Fall premiere season is upon us, and since we know you rely on us to advise you as to what to watch and what you can skip (you do, right?), we've invited Jeff Drake to join us for a discussion of the season: what we're into; what we probably should be into but aren't, or have given up on; and what no one should be into. We move from there into Liv's report on the latest apocalyptic Face Off, and then into Sarah's look at the specials marking the 20th anniversary of the O.J. Simpson murder trial verdict in The Blotter Presents. We take a moment to speculate in a special Will Dave Hate These? segment covering both Troy: Fall Of A City and a just-announced reboot of The A Team. Then Jeff makes his case for "The Germans" episode of Fawlty Towers to be inducted into The Canon, from which point we name the week's Winner and Loser, and then wind up with a thrilling installment of Game Time. Put on your gloves and earmuffs and then take off your earmuffs and listen! GUESTS
