Bass Reeves is back! While Taylor Sheridan is off on his yacht making billion-dollar shows with NBCUniversal or whatever, Netflix has decided history needs a refresh. When a genius intern asked if someone could One Piece the Civil War, the idea was born, and now we have Paper Boi voicing half-man half-gun Bass Reeves.
On the podcast, we break down this version of Bass: Bass the bounty hunter versus Bass the lawman. Given the crazy genre mash-up, we've got comparisons, soundtrack, cyborg/android tech, and plot to talk about.

What if your mom wasn't your mom? That's the situation Sonny Cooke finds himself in after the two-episode premiere of Hulu's Phony, a coming-of-age comedy mixed with a potentially supernatural mystery. Connie Britton stars in a show that presents a dark situation with a Disney-lite backlit atmosphere.
On the podcast, we discuss what we think might be going on, where the show succeeds, and whether we'll keep watching. Is Sonny a reliable narrator? Who can we trust? Is this The Changeling in reverse, or something closer to The Truman Show? With Halloween tomorrow, everyone's getting ready to pretend to be someone else, this show feels pretty topical.
