The Televerse (mp3)

Kate’s on location once again, so it’s another truncated podcast this week. After a brief discussion of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop casting announcements, Noel and Kate kick things off with their week in TV. Veep is back for its final season, black-ish still has a Dre problem, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is riding high heading into its series finale, and Fresh Off the Boat gets in on the musical fun. Then there’s the dramatic final episodes of Terrace House: Opening New Doors, an Olympic-themed RuPaul’s Drag Race, wrestling-centered episodes of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and, in its midseason premiere, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and a statuary-centered Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. Afterward, we move to the spotlight section, diving in with season one of Amazon Prime’s adaptation of the teen assassin movie Hanna.
