It's SpOoKy season, and we're heading back to the creek for some bewitching fun! This week, Andrea and Jodie watched Dawson's Creek Blair Witch Project spoof, "Escape from Witch Island." They remark on the lasting influence of The Blair Witch Project, wonder why the show even bothered to include Andie in this episode, and thank the TV Gods that Pacey and Jen came along on this field trip so we didn't just have to watch Joey and Dawson sulk at each other for an entire episode.Next week, it's Halloween in the rust belt as we watch Season 1, Episode 9 of My So-Called Life, the aptly titled, "Halloween."Follow:The Watchers on Instagram (@WatchersPodNJ)Andrea on Instagram (@AQAndreaQ)Jodie on Instagram (@jodie_mim)Our sister show, New Jersey Is the World, on Instagram (@newjerseyistheworld)Thanks to Kitzy (@heykitzy) for the use of our theme song, "No Book Club."
This week Mandy is joined by Cix Hamlett of the Dumpster Dive podcast to chat this VERY exciting week in Bravo! They discuss the explosive first two minutes of #RHOSLC, which Mandy and Cix believe has been sent to us by the reality TV Gods, and wonder why so many women are interested in Austen in the Winter House trailer. Mandy and Cix unpack this week's Potomac, questioning Gizelle's statistics on cheating, and continue to be shocked by the Beverly Hills dinner party from hell part 2.

You may have to adjust the volume on this one (sorry for the technical difficulties), but it's an episode you don't want to miss. We virtually travel up the highways to the DMV area to get the latest from the PR Goddess herself, Chandra Gore of Chandra Gore Consulting. We talk how to secure TV coverage when it's highly competitive or oversaturated with content - and she keeps it all the way real with just how much time this whole "PR'ing Yourself" thing will really take you. Be sure to keep up with Chandra on social media: facebook.com/chandragoreconsulting, facebook.com/chandragore01, instagram.com/cgoreconsults, instagram.com/conversationswithchan, Instagram.com/shopwithchandra, twitter.com/cgoreconsults, linkedin.com/in/chandragore, linkedin.com/company/chandragoreconsulting, https://linktr.ee/conversationswithchan, www.amazon.com/shop/cgoreconsults, Anchor.fm/conversationswithchan
In a change of pace, this week we took listener questions from Twitter and answered them live on the air! Why? Because we were three days late and didn't have enough time to do a real episode?? NO! And frankly that kind of attitude is not welcome in the Bad Reception Recording Bungalow™️. It's because we love our fans and want to know what you want us to talk about. Including why Ross from Friends sucks, what TV shows we would make if we had the chance, what shows have been banned from the podcast, details of Mike's movie obsession, criteria for double long pilots, our favorite cancelled Matthew Perry joint, and movies that would make better TV shows. Plus Morgan digs deep into our relationship with the television and Mike learns how to use the pitch modulator. It's the feel-good hit of the summer, and you're not gonna want to miss this one... Or just come back next week when we watch more bad TV.

The TV Gods give and the TV Gods taketh away. That’s right, it’s time for upfronts, which means the networks are in the midst of announcing their renewals and cancelations for the coming year. Fortunately, after we recorded, they reconsidered one of the hardest hits of the recent announcements, with NBC picking up Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a sixth season. However, that’s only the start of the conversation this week, with lots of shows delivering compelling, emotional, and fun episodes. First up, Noel and Kate dive in with the comedies and reality, including the (series?) finale of Atlanta, the finale of Mom, The Last OG, a dramatic Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Then we move over to drama and genre, including the premieres of Vida and Sweetbitter, super tense episodes of The Americans and Killing Eve, character-redefining episodes of Timeless and Agents of SHIELD, and an alternatingly beautiful, sad, and shocking Steven Universe two-parter. Afterward, we round out the podcast by spotlighting the interesting and funny documentary series Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas, currently flying under the radar on HBO on Friday evenings.Spotlight: Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas (1:32:54)Our Week in Comedy and Reality Atlanta finale (14:19) Mom finale (22:45) The Last OG (25:41) Brooklyn Nine-Nine (28:07) RuPaul’s Drag Race (32:44)Our Week in Drama and Genre Vida premiere (44:16) Sweetbitter premiere (48:09) The Americans (53:17) Killing Eve (56:14) Timeless (1:00:42) Agents of SHIELD (1:03:58) Steven Universe (1:10:05)Music Featured: “I Shall Be Released” by Nina Simone; “That Distant Shore,” performed by Jennifer Paz in Steven Universe’s “Can’t Go Back”
Big Screencast! It's been long enough - the guys do a full spoiler discussion of Marvel's smash Black Panther. They also thank the TV Gods that Atlanta is back on FX.
Hello There, If you know us, then you know that March is not only about basketball, it’s about pilot season and the pilot pickups. You could say this is like Christmas for us and we are eager to see what’s under the TV tree. Now, we should warn you, we may end up with a few pairs of tube socks, but we have faith in the TV Gods and are sure somewhere under that TV tree will be something even better. There just has to be, cause it’s pilot season for goodness sake! In episode 39 we bring you up to speed on a few of the pilots that ABC has in the works. Are we blown away? You will have to listen to the show to find out. Enjoy!
