Today's Episode

Half Man is like A24’s 21 Jump Street. Richard Gadd’s latest kicks off its six-episode run with a queasy coming-of-age story. Episode 1 sets up two timelines, focusing on the relationship between a brother-esque duo as they navigate dysfunctional authority figures, warped bullying power dynamics, and the psychosexual chaos of adolescence. On the pod, we unpack, in lighthearted conversation, what this dark comedy-drama has in store: standout moments, performances, comparisons, and our thoughts on Gadd and his previous series, Baby Reindeer, plus what the reception has been so far.

Despite seven spinoffs and an eighth on the way, NCIS still found time to make a “Reboot” of sorts. Rather than rolling out the stars of yesteryear, Season 23, Episode 17 presents a long-overdue database update led by tech wiz Kasie. Naturally, a murder happens, people are kidnapped, and Gary Cole shows up with donuts...
On the podcast, we break down our first impressions, what we were able to sus out, the plot’s strengths and other weirdness, as well as what LL Cool J adds to the mix, and finally, our rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

Has anyone ever made you feel small? Well, maybe check out The Miniature Wife and you’ll feel a little better. From Ronny Chieng’s self-absorbed billionaire persona, to Matthew Macfadyen doing his own gloriously narcissistic science-guy routine, to Elizabeth Banks falling victim to her husband’s invention gone wrong, in this episode we review the best and worst of the 39-minute pilot, “Lady Tomato and Mr. F. Tomato-Head.”
Tune in to hear our comparisons, how the show defied our assumptions, some of the broader differences from Manuel Gonzales’s original short story, the critical reception, and where it lands on our rating scale. Welcome to today’s episode!

Mr. Middle is back and now with grandkids! Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair is less reboot and more of a four-episode special as Hulu and Disney resurrect one of the biggest comedies of the post-Y2K era. On the podcast, we break down the long-awaited return of the dysfunctional, outlandish, and sometimes caring family.
There is plenty of good and bad to go around, from the massive viewership to the polarized fan reception. We do spend more time than we should reminiscing about the original series, though it all comes together as we reveal our ultimate rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

If Halt and Catch Fire was AMC’s first lesson in tech, The Audacity is what happens when that world metastasizes — a look at how money, power, and ego rot the core of 2026 Silicon Valley. Billy Magnussen stars as Duncan Park, a data-mining mogul doing a tightrope walk over a cliff, dragged down by his own hubris.
On the pod, we break down the sprawling ensemble (Sarah Goldberg, Meaghan Rath, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg…), touch on plot points including blackmail, NDAs, insider trading, and Wallflowers stuck in basements... Finally, we conclude whether the show has potential or if it is just a cheap Black Mirror rip off. Tune in, and Welcome to Todays Episode!
