Today's Episode

For our 73rd review of the year, we’re checking out Apple’s latest drama, Last Seen, starring Patrick Brammall as a former detective still haunted by the disappearance of his daughter Mags.
On the podcast, we break down the first two episodes, “Last Seen” and “The Call,” discuss the grief, mystery, small-town secrets, and the insane amount of leeway Ian seems to get from the supportive community. We also compare the series to other missing-child thrillers, question whether the slow burn adds depth or just pads the runtime, and give our predictions concerning the ending cliffhanger.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and apparently it was also time for another adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities.
MGM+ and BBC One’s new four-part miniseries stars Kit Harington, Mirren Mack, and François Civil in a heavily reworked version of Charles Dickens’ 1859 novel. The premiere, “Recalled to Life,” throws Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton together almost immediately as news of Lucie’s supposedly dead father, a treason trial, and the beginnings of a love triangle collide.
On the podcast, we break down the first episode, compare Daniel West’s version with Dickens’ original story, and discuss some of its biggest changes, including Lucie's age-up, her dead proxy-father, and grave robbing. We also get into  the trial, the historical setting, other period-drama comparisons, and whether this show has impressed the critics.

Fred Has Problems is the latest animated comedy from Steve Dildarian, creator of The Life & Times of Tim and Ten Year Old Tom. The series is released directly on YouTube, about one episode a month.
On the podcast, we concentrate on the fourth episode, “Fred Nailed My Wife in the Pumpkin Patch,” which starts with a hazelnut allergy and leads to an office countersuit requiring penis slings and fighting old men. 
Tune in as we discuss a bit of Dildarian’s background, the show’s best and worst qualities, and whether we want to see more.
