Episode #29 – It’s The End Of TV As We Know It

This week Ryan is the one off galavanting around Europe but don’t be alarmed Loren brought in a ringer. Jen’s back on the show to talk all about TV and how it’s a-changing.

  • We get a Clue to possibly the worst remake yet.
  • COPS heads to theaters, sort of.
  • Rock Johnson on the Jumanji reboot-quel.
  • The Queen is dead, long live the Queen; Ben Queen exits NBC’s Powerless.

  • Arrow gets a new (Human) Target.
  • The not Matchbox 20 guy brings us The Lost Boys.
  • The Nightly Show says goodnight.
  • Enrico Pallazzo and Iron Man bring you Perry Mason, that’s the weirdest thing you’ll read today.
  • It’s pilot season over at Amazon.
  • Did someone trick the Joker?

ABC

Downward Dog

Loren: This looks sadder than it probably should. Also just weird. Won’t last.

RDT: Ok, if it’s just 4th-wall breaking and the dog (Walter) is addressing the audience directly, why do his lips move? It bothered me. Also,  agree with Loren, it looks really sad. Alison Tolman deserves better.
