This week, we're talking about getting it done! And then undone. There's the push-pull of making The Godfather on The Offer on Paramount+. Then there's the use of time travel to deal with family trauma on the second season of Undone on Prime. 2:25-22:55 TV Diary 34:05-34:30 Stranger Than Fan-Fiction 35:10-47:28 The Offer (Paramount+) 47:55- Undone (Prime)

This week, we're talking about shows in their second seasons, with one notable exception that's been around a lot longer. And we're talking about characters who, like fine wine, get better with age. There's season 2 of Girls5Eva, with its comeback girl band heroines, on Peacock. There's season 2 of Hacks, with its intergenerational comediennes, on HBO Max. There's the wisdom of age, sort of, that has come to Hazel and her dad, in season 2 of Made for Love, also on HBO Max. And there's the new...

This week, we're talking about our new weird friends, who may or may not be from outer space. Maybe they're aliens from a water-starved planet like in The Man Who Fell to Earth on Showtime. Maybe they're an oddly familiar warlike set of aliens like on the premiere of Star Trek Strange New Worlds on Paramount+. Or maybe it's a possibly demonic baby, like in The Baby on HBO Max. 2:18-22:50 TV Diary 23:50-32:20 The Baby (HBO Max) 32:40-39:35 Man Who Fell to Earth (Showtime) 39:35- Star Trek...

There's the cops of David Simon's spiritual sequel to The Wire, We Own This City, on HBO Max. There's the snake killers of Killing It on Peacock.

This week, we're looking at past trauma! The final season of Better Call Saul is all about family trauma and what it does to people on AMC+. Roar on Apple+ has various explorations of trauma. Russian Doll on Netflix explores the nature of generational trauma through time travel. And Moon Knight on Disney+ gets dark in its penultimate episode, looking into the traumatic past of our lead character. Or maybe that should be characters. 4:20-29:10 TV Diary 29:10-39:05 Stranger Than Fan-Fiction ...

This week, we're gonna slow it way down. There's the deliberately paced tale of an American journalist in Japan in Tokyo Vice on HBO Max. There's the tale of bad cops and an unlucky athlete in 61st Street on AMC+. And there's another contender for worst show of the year in Netflix's Anatomy of a Scandal. Plus... Marc and Steven have quite the change of pace on this week's Moon Knight on Disney+. Check it out! 2:04-24:00 TV Diary 25:15-38:58 Tokyo Vice (HBO Max) 39:43-45:40 61st Street...

This week, we've got a lot of people doing some interesting work. There's the pioneering cooking show of Julia Child on Julia on HBO Max. There's cartoonist-turned-sneaker-activist Keef Knight on the second season of Woke on HULU. There's factory worker turned pro bowler Tom Smallwood on How We Roll on Paramount+. And then there's the motley crew of parolees on The Outlaws on Prime. Plus, of course, freelance archaeologist/grave robber/fist of vengeance Marc Spector on Moon Knight on Disney+...

This week, we're talking about failing expectations. There's the difficulty of being the perfect super soldier in HALO on Paramount+. The difficulties of being burned out or failed spies on Apple+'s Slow Horses. Or the difficulties of being insane narcissist capitalists on WeCrashed, also on Apple+. And of course we've got a very disappointed Egyptian Moon God in this week's dessert, Disney+'s Moon Knight! 4:10-31:40 TV Diary 31:40-46:00 Power Rankings 47:03-1:03:20 HALO (Paramount+) ...

This week... it's time to drop the curtain. There have been allusions to it in the last couple episodes, but it's true, it's all a ruse... Randy loves anime. This week, on the first of April, with encouragement from Nick and strong objections from Les, we're going all in and becoming The Anime Dudes! This week, we're talking about Demon Slayer, the final season of Attack on Titan, and Netflix's short series The Orbital Children from the creator of FLCL and Ghost in the Shell! 2:20-13:05...

This week, Les chats with actress Avery Konrad. Avery can currently be seen starring in Epix’s sci-fi horror series, “FROM”. The series unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town in middle America that traps all those who enter. Avery shines as Sara Myers, a wildcard among the town’s residents. We talk about the mystery and horror of the show, how she got into acting growing up in Vancouver, how her dance background impacts her performances, and much more. FROM airs Sundays on Epix.

This week we're asking... Are you sure that's a good idea? There are any number of bad ideas surrounding the uploading of consciousness into the cloud after death, the concept at the core of Upload season two on Prime. Trusting a Borg Queen to take you into the past to fix the meddling of Q seems a bit dodgy on the second season of Picard on Paramount+. And launching a feminist magazine on the backs of nude male pictures might be genius... or it might not be such a good idea, we'll find out...

This week on the TV Dudes, almost nobody knows anything. Nobody knows what's up with Toni Collete's past in Netflix Pieces of Her, Sam Jackson doesn't know if he can keep his memory long enough to solve a murder in Apple TV's The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, and the lovable crew of idiots in Peacock's Bust Down just don't know much, period. Plus we don't know where Randy is!  4:23-28:43 TV Diaries 28:43-35:57 Last Days of Ptolemy Gray 35:57-45:07 Pieces of Her 45:07- Bust Down

This week is full of ill-advised plans and other mishaps! Something like faking a medical breakthrough to become a billionaire as in The Dropout on Hulu. Pretty much everything Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin have done in their lives, and maybe the idea of adapting Tiger King into fiction, as in Joe vs. Carole on Peacock. Becoming a gentleman pirate like in Our Flag Means Death on HBO Max. Or any number of poor decisions made under stress in Yellowjackets on Showtime. 2:05-31:40 TV Diaries ...

This week... who's in charge here? Is it the FBI, CIA, NSA, or is it a super-criminal in The Endgame on Hulu? Is it the lovable pooch in charge of security on Cat Burglar on Netflix? And the Sheriff definitely thinks he's in charge in From on Epix, but we're not so sure. 1:56-29:05 TV Diary 29:05-44:00 Power Rankings 45:00-55:10 The Endgame (Hulu) 55:38-1:06:25 Cat Burglar (Netflix) 1:06:25-1:24:24 From (Epix/Prime) 1:24:24- Afterparty (Apple+)

This week, we're talking about being new to town! You might be an ex-military drifter like Jack Reacher in Reacher on Prime. You might be a band of horny, violent, and stupid adventurers like Vox Machina in the Legend of Vox Machina, also on Prime. Or you might be West Philadelphia born and raised, but one little fight and your mom got scared and you wound up in Bel-Air like Will Smith in Bel-Air on Peacock. 2:57-15:43 TV Diary 20:55-33:35 The Legend of Vox Machina (Prime) 34:15-48:11...

This week we have shows that are offering up some surprises. Like the talking CGI penis in Hulu's Pam & Tommy. The decisions alien Harry comes to after his change of heart in season 2 of Resident Alien on Peacock. Or the surprises sprung on all the guest stars in Murderville on Netflix. There are also big reveals on Peacemaker and maybe not so many surprises in the finale of Book of Boba Fett. 3:09-16:57 TV Diary 18:48-32:46Pam & Tommy (Hulu) 33:04-39:31 Resident Alien (Peacock) ...

This week we're talking about some weird mysteries. The mystery of a fire and some old footage and maybe a cult in the podcast-based Archive 81 on Netflix. The maybe a little too dead-on parody of a Lifetime Mystery that is The Woman In The House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window, also on Netflix. The shifting narrative murder mystery that is The Afterparty on Apple+. And of course, the mystery that gives away its twist with the title, Wolf Like Me, on Peacock. Plus the mystery of...

This week, we chat with Reagan To, who plays the English-dubbed voices of both the “red light, green light” doll and Ga-yeong in the wildly popular Netflix series "Squid Game". Her role in the show has become a viral phenomenon, and SNL even did a recent skit featuring her character. Reagan has multiple credits including skits on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and we discuss how she found her love for acting, what it was like to find yourself a part of a hit like "Squid Game" and much more.    ...

This week, the shows we're watching are a mess, and they're all on Hulu. There's the woman trying to put her life together in Single Drunk Female on Freeform. There's the messy single lives on display in How I Met Your Father. And there are the three women turning their lives upside down after the death of their friend on Pivoting on Fox.
