Manage episode 429567869 series 3385226
This week we cover IF, the penultimate episodes of The Acolyte and The Boys, and go off on reality TV, including Claim to Fame, Love Island, Arsenio Hall, Secrets of Playboy, and Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
Ok, this episode is different for sure! Sure, it starts of relevant with Andrew. and Kevin digging into the latest episode of The Acolyte. There are some philosophical differences (and some revelations discovered post-recording) but it's an excellent discussion about what this season has been and where it's headed for the finale.
After this, the gang swings hard into game shows, reality TV, and documentaries. Lauren discusses Claim to Fame, Kevin gushes over Love Island (yet again), Andrew takes us to the '90s with Dark Side of the '90s: Arsenio Hall, and then Lauren comes back with Gypsy Rose Blanchard: Life After Lockup.
The conversation steers away from reality TV when Kevin jumps in and talks about the recent family movie IF, starring Ryan Reynolds and written by John Krasinski. It's not a rave review but it's not the worst review, either. Overall, not a bad family watch, despite having it's issues.
Andrew and Kevin, feeling the episode nearing its end, jump in and talk about the latest episode of The Boys. It's a fantastic episode and even has a snappy jingle!! They are definitely getting excited for the finale, including a few predictions.
Just when you thought you were in the clear, Kevin entices Lauren to get back on the reality/documentary train with Secrets of Playboy. A very interesting look at the history of the empire Hugh built and some flashes back to the early 2000's with discussion of The Girls Next Door. It's a surprisingly interesting conversation and worth staying til the end for!
