Show Notes

Blaine begins the episode with a quick welcome before offering an overview of the episode's discussions (0:01).

Once Adam and Donovan join the podcast, the three say hello to some specific listeners (1:16). They then have a brief tangent on celebrity deaths prompted by the recent passing of George Wendt (5:13). From there, they run down a list of possible streaming television shows that could be worth your time (8:36).

Continuing the non-spoiler section, they broadly discuss 'The Studio' and its completion on Apple TV+ (24:21) as well as the season thus far of HBO's 'The Last of Us' (27:51).

In the spoiler section, the hosts break down why 'The Studio' works so well as a deeper comedy (30:39) and how the thematic shift in 'The Last of Us' may be more natural than they realized (51:51).
