The Televerse (mp3)

Despite the holiday last week and the looming holiday season ahead, it’s this week that gives us our lightest TV load in quite a while. We kick things off with our week in TV, including the first season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Drunk History’s Christmas Special, a check-in on The Rundown with Robin Thede, and fun episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Broad City, Outlander, and Marvel’s Runaways. Afterwards, we head over to the spotlight section and welcome back friend of the show Dr. Elizabeth Bridges, co-author and editor of Nazisploitation!: The Nazi Image in Low-Brow Cinema and Culture, to break down the four-part CW crossover extravaganza, Crisis on Earth-X.Spotlight: Crisis on Earth-X with Dr. Elizabeth Bridges (54:59)Our Week in TVThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 1 (13:19)Drunk History Christmas Special (25:47)The Rundown with Robin Thede (29:06)Brooklyn Nine-Nine (32:09)Broad City (36:29)Outlander (39:19) Marvel’s Runaways (42:58)Music Featured: “I Enjoy Being a Girl” by Sutton Foster and Vince Giordano
