Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this very special year
Speaker 1: end holiday prestige casting episode of Daley's I Say production
Speaker 1: of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: This is a podcast where we take a.
Speaker 1: Deep devnt American share consciousness, and our team is now
Speaker 1: taking a little break key so we are recording year
Speaker 1: end episodes way back in. We're recording this one on
Speaker 1: December eleventh. Little people behind the curtain and miles of
Speaker 1: them feeling well. But we've got an amazing roster. My
Speaker 1: name's Jack O'Brien and I'm surell to be joined by
Speaker 1: today's special guest co host, super producer, the inventor of
Speaker 1: prestige casting, the inventor of on a streaming corner, it's.
Speaker 2: On a hose ne.
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, Hi, So good to see Yeah, great to
Speaker 3: see you too.
Speaker 2: We're also there will be joined by a super producer back.
Speaker 1: At Ramos and the writer of our show, mister j
Speaker 1: M McNab.
Speaker 2: Hello, got like a wo spooky thing happened in.
Speaker 1: My bage in The writer of our show screwge.
Speaker 2: So this is the story of streaming.
Speaker 1: This is uh the streaming app where we look back
Speaker 1: at the year in TV shows that I did not
Speaker 1: partake in, but super producer on Jos is always on
Speaker 1: this ship and telling me why I'm a full for watching.
Speaker 2: I tend to if I have a free moment, I
Speaker 2: will watch.
Speaker 1: A film instead of a streaming show because streaming shows
Speaker 1: take longer. A lot of people complain about movies being
Speaker 1: too long. Have you seen these fucking streaming shows, man,
Speaker 1: since it take like fucking thirteen dang hours some freaking times. Anyways,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of fun stuff TV can do
Speaker 1: that streaming cannot. And so Anna, I will turn it
Speaker 1: over to you what happened this year in streaming?
Speaker 3: I would say we had a lot of great shows
Speaker 3: come out this year. I would say we had a
Speaker 3: lot of great shows end this year as well, So
Speaker 3: you know, we're in a bit of a renaissance of
Speaker 3: the TV era, which you know could mean anything. That
Speaker 3: literally means anything, it could also mean nothing at the
Speaker 3: same time. Isn't it incredible how like you can just
Speaker 3: say whatever you want? Anyway, I actually want to go
Speaker 3: through my list of just great shows that ended this
Speaker 3: year and then we can maybe talk about what you
Speaker 3: didn't watch.
Speaker 1: Which is everything, Yeah, basically everything except for Succession.
Speaker 2: Have you guys seen Succession? Have you heard about this.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Succession because you know everyone
Speaker 3: said season three or no excuse me, season four was.
Speaker 3: It started off so slow and then we hit episode three,
Speaker 3: and I just want to say episode three of Succession
Speaker 3: season four, which was the last season, was a real
Speaker 3: a feat in television making. I gotta say. It was
Speaker 3: one long, sort of consecutive shot for the most part,
Speaker 3: or at least how it was presented in the edit,
Speaker 3: but it was a devastating episode. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: spoil if you guys haven't seen it, but season season four,
Speaker 3: episode three is I think the pinnacle of television filmmaking.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, I think.
Speaker 3: For most of time, incredible television. And also it ended
Speaker 3: that was sad. Oh god, I loved Succession. It was
Speaker 3: so fun. It was so fun until it fucking wasn't. Dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it had us by the neck. And what did
Speaker 2: it say to us? What Succession when off? Okay, we
Speaker 2: get it, all right.
Speaker 3: You're a real Brian Cox, We get all right.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I didn't no, no, no impression,
Speaker 1: and nobody said anything.
Speaker 3: Go ahead say it again.
Speaker 2: No, that's all right, I got it. Let's let's move on.
Speaker 2: I have some impressions of Barry's catchphrases.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Barry ended. I will say Barry is a
Speaker 3: completely different show from when it started to when it ended.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did watch this one too, Holy ship Man.
Speaker 3: Was that the impression?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what was that? That? That's my impressure on
Speaker 2: me watching it? Said this is bleak. Oh he said bleak.
Speaker 1: They just said, yeah, I think it's fun to say
Speaker 1: bleak in a high pitched voice too, you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean I felt like the first season was relatively grounded,
Speaker 4: as grounded as you can be when uh an assassin
Speaker 4: is trying to make it in Hollywood, and then the
Speaker 4: show just kept getting weirder and weirder and more esoteric,
Speaker 4: like he'd have these dream sequences on the beach and everything,
Speaker 4: and then, in a weird way, the final episodes did
Speaker 4: go back to that grounding in a very dark way,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, I wasn't really on board with
Speaker 4: a lot of the dream sequences, but I kind of
Speaker 4: wish we would go back because this is making me very,
Speaker 4: very uncomfortable. But it is like very prestige television.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it's very very dark. You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 3: I saw more of like, what's his name? Uh, what's
Speaker 3: the name of the guy, and Barry Barry, Phil Hayter,
Speaker 3: BARRYL was like, wait a second, this this could be Miami.
Speaker 3: And then it was just like should we just like
Speaker 3: put on the pedal, like no looking back? Yeah, And
Speaker 3: then you know, they were like, yeah, sure, whatever you
Speaker 3: want to do.
Speaker 1: Had he not want an Emmy yet or this could
Speaker 1: be like his the Emmy to end all Emmy's.
Speaker 3: I think this was the the sort of Emmy to
Speaker 3: uh like Oscar Dream Pipeline in a way, because he
Speaker 3: was like all of a sudden like no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I'm a serious actor and director.
Speaker 1: I hope he directs a film film soon because I
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot of heat, a lot of
Speaker 1: anticipage around what he would do with a film. I
Speaker 1: just I recently saw the Mister Robot Guys first film,
Speaker 1: I think, which I think I remember there being a
Speaker 1: lot of anticipation around that one, and this one might
Speaker 1: as well not exist like Mister Robot Guys. Sorry, sorry
Speaker 1: to take it back to film. That was the last
Speaker 1: episode we recorded. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like he would direct a really good action movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, I agree with that. I think you
Speaker 3: would do a great job. I'll give some Oh, you
Speaker 3: know what, Reservation Dogs also ended this year. I want
Speaker 3: to say the final season of Reservation Dogs was very
Speaker 3: beautifully done. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend
Speaker 3: checking it out. It was just so it was just beautiful.
Speaker 3: You know. It also sort of departed from its original
Speaker 3: sort of format I guess if you will, which was
Speaker 3: a little bit more sort of like, look at these
Speaker 3: sort of kooky characters in this reservation who are trying
Speaker 3: to make it and survive and deal with what life
Speaker 3: has handed them and the experience of the Native American
Speaker 3: in this country. And then I would say the final
Speaker 3: season was more introspective than ever before. I thought it
Speaker 3: was just like really well done, uh, looking at like
Speaker 3: the different characters in their lives and their backgrounds and
Speaker 3: how the older sort of elders of the group on
Speaker 3: the show came to be. And I thought they did
Speaker 3: a really great job of ending that show, even though
Speaker 3: in my opinion, it shouldn't have ended.
Speaker 2: But you know what, this industry's like, I do.
Speaker 1: I actually watched a lot of TV this year that
Speaker 1: us think about it compared to what I thought heading
Speaker 1: into this episode You've got white Lotus that happened to
Speaker 1: hear it? Yes, watch that ship count it Swish from downtown.
Speaker 3: You watch the Other Two which also ended this year.
Speaker 2: Which ended this year. That was good though, Man, that
Speaker 2: was what a what a season?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was I would say season three of was
Speaker 3: it season three or whatever I came up? It was
Speaker 3: a four I forget. But that final season of the
Speaker 3: Other Two was also a great feat in television filmmaking
Speaker 3: because once again they were able to sort of do
Speaker 3: what they wanted while at the end of the show
Speaker 3: having a hit piece come out about them. So, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 3: great job, great job all around, you get a hit piece,
Speaker 3: you put on an incredible season of television. That's how
Speaker 3: you wanted to hear.
Speaker 1: Your season of television was so damn good that they
Speaker 1: were scared of you.
Speaker 2: Your season of.
Speaker 3: Television was so damn good.
Speaker 2: There were hr complaints, you know, like it's too fucking
Speaker 2: good man. Yeah, Megan zaz Lot scared.
Speaker 3: Like the creators are becoming the characters television.
Speaker 1: Baby, right, Yeah, or they were just mean to people,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, or maybe.
Speaker 3: The show was so real that they themselves were the
Speaker 3: other two and thus the characters are manifest manifested from
Speaker 3: a very deep place of insecurity and why the show
Speaker 3: was so good and ni every single aspect of being
Speaker 3: sort of like a sort of societal and industry reject.
Speaker 2: So anyway, your show is so good.
Speaker 1: I stuck around and watched you guys get interviewed and
Speaker 1: talk about the show after every episode, and so therefore
Speaker 1: I cannot believe you would be mean to people and
Speaker 1: love you.
Speaker 3: I believe it. That's why the show was so good. It's
Speaker 3: because they were just playing themselves.
Speaker 2: But they were just writing. It wasn't the act. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was the no But if you look at.
Speaker 3: Photos of the creators, you're like, this is just them?
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, yeah, all right, what are what are
Speaker 1: the other ones?
Speaker 2: Like? The Idol was a big story this year for
Speaker 2: just being offensive and bad. But what what was the
Speaker 2: thing though?
Speaker 3: Like how bad was it really? Because you know, the
Speaker 3: weekend did donate a bunch of money to Gaza, So
Speaker 3: I'm not here being like I don't know, maybe them
Speaker 3: was good? What am I mad at? I watched it.
Speaker 3: I was definitely like, holy shit, what is happening on screen?
Speaker 3: It kept my attention so you know what, I don't.
Speaker 3: You're back, baby, I'm willing to go back. I'm willing
Speaker 3: to go try it. I was. I'm not mad on it.
Speaker 3: Maybe pro I don't know. Also, I just want to
Speaker 3: give a quick shout out to how To with John Wilson,
Speaker 3: which ended. I thought that was a.
Speaker 1: Great ending for a show I watched the first time
Speaker 1: the penis enlargement episode that obviously didn't come out this year.
Speaker 2: But uh oh no, that's the difference. Is that? Is
Speaker 2: that how To with John Wilson? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't recall that episode, so it must.
Speaker 5: Just pop up on your brows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how should tone it down a little?
Speaker 1: It was it was the one that was like about furniture,
Speaker 1: like where it's following people who keep their furniture in
Speaker 1: wrapped in plastics. Yeah, how to cover your furniture? How
Speaker 1: To with John Wilson. And then it takes a turn
Speaker 1: into a guy who's like a obsessed with penis enlargement,
Speaker 1: and then you're just seeing him laying playing on his
Speaker 1: bed with a.
Speaker 2: Weird strap on his penis.
Speaker 3: No, it's that show really takes you places.
Speaker 1: It really takes you places like holy shit, how To
Speaker 1: Do with John Wilson is an incredible work of art.
Speaker 3: It really is. And like when he's at the Emmys
Speaker 3: and he's not even on the list for the uh
Speaker 3: HBO after party even though his name is literally like
Speaker 3: on his show. Incredible stuff, like the absolute disrespect for
Speaker 3: that show.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 3: Good for him, he created incredible television. They couldn't handle
Speaker 3: the truth so loved it.
Speaker 1: As a father of children, I got to give a
Speaker 1: shout out to Bluie, which continues to be great. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if they had a new episodes. This
Speaker 1: is a you know, it's relevant. I think I think
Speaker 1: it's up some new I mean.
Speaker 3: I've heard wonderful things about Bluey Blue.
Speaker 1: It's you can watch it with your kids and they
Speaker 1: don't like like a lot of the ship that they watch.
Speaker 1: They they're just like a little bit worse after you
Speaker 1: watch it with them, like your soul has like been
Speaker 1: corrupted by whatever you just watched.
Speaker 2: And then Bluey it's just like Pow Patrol, Paw patrol.
Speaker 1: Yes, very bad they cops or Cayu.
Speaker 2: We're not We're not.
Speaker 6: A Kyu family had to pet sit a dog named
Speaker 6: Kyu for the holiday, but the family spelt it see
Speaker 6: a y O U with an accent over the U.
Speaker 6: So interesting choice was made there.
Speaker 1: On what what are some other shows from this year
Speaker 1: that they you feel like people might have missed?
Speaker 3: Yeah, some shows that haven't aired in.
Speaker 2: A minute because I watch everything, But other.
Speaker 3: They haven't aired in a minute, so you might have
Speaker 3: forgotten about them. But like Yellow or excuse me, White
Speaker 3: Lotus like you said before, Yellow jackets Queen Charlotte if
Speaker 3: you're a sort of a horny shondaland fan.
Speaker 2: Oh that was the queen from the Bridgerton Yes, yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting? Uh some other Oh remember Beef? Yes, really hard,
Speaker 3: You've got buried hard unfortunately due to the contriversity, which
Speaker 3: is unfortunate because I did really enjoy that show.
Speaker 6: But you know, yeah, I feel very conflicted watching it
Speaker 6: because I did really enjoy it, but I felt like
Speaker 6: the cloud of David Show could not not ruin it
Speaker 6: for me.
Speaker 3: So they did, in a way curse themselves by casting
Speaker 3: David Show. But yeah, what you hey, you know what,
Speaker 3: you make your choices.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and continue to talk about shows that took the
Speaker 1: streaming world by storm over you're right back, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and we are thrilled to be joined by our resident
Speaker 1: Suits expert super producer Becca Ramos.
Speaker 2: Yes, Suit, did you watch Suits? Remind me, did you
Speaker 2: watch Suits when it was first on?
Speaker 3: Yes? Okay, So.
Speaker 6: My TV journey is that I think I used to
Speaker 6: watch a lot of TV when I was younger, and
Speaker 6: now I kind of share the same opinion as Jack
Speaker 6: is that if I'm gonna have time for something, I'm
Speaker 6: going to watch a movie. I'm not going to watch
Speaker 6: a TV because I think I get overwhelmed. But there's
Speaker 6: so much TV now with streaming, and there's a zillion
Speaker 6: seasons and things are super long and binging, and it
Speaker 6: just it's too much and I just need If I'm
Speaker 6: gonna watch TV, I'm zoning out. I'm watching a syndicated television.
Speaker 6: I'm watching House, I'm watching Suits. I'm watching Law and
Speaker 6: Order SVU. Okay, you can catch me watching Stage nineteen.
Speaker 6: I if it is syndicated, I'm watching it, and or
Speaker 6: I am watching reality TV. So when Suits came back
Speaker 6: into popular demand, what was it the summer? I think
Speaker 6: on Netflix because they dropped on Netflix. I rewatched that
Speaker 6: Bad Boy and I was like, this shit is wild.
Speaker 6: I came on to TDZ I remember to talk about it.
Speaker 3: It was fun.
Speaker 6: I actually kind of did give up on it a
Speaker 6: little bit quickly in because I just felt like the
Speaker 6: tension between Mike and Are Yeah, I was like our Dutchess,
Speaker 6: Megan Marcle people, our people's queen. I felt like it
Speaker 6: was too much for me. I was like, I just
Speaker 6: hate that they're fighting. And I stopped watching because he
Speaker 6: was mad. I think I quit right after she was
Speaker 6: mad that he wouldn't cheat for her on her el
Speaker 6: SAT or her whatever Logsam that tracks.
Speaker 1: Based on the fifteen second trailer that I saw over
Speaker 1: and over every time I turned on Netflix. There, I
Speaker 1: might want to try out suits. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: like suits. Yeah, but that seemed to be like there's
Speaker 1: a non linear thing happening where it's like, not only
Speaker 1: are people like not watching whatever is on TV at
Speaker 1: the moment, like on cable TV or linear TV. People
Speaker 1: aren't watching things that came out this year, like the
Speaker 1: number one show seemed to be suits. Every time I
Speaker 1: looked at the ratings. And yeah, I talked before about
Speaker 1: how that dinosaur show that came out last year, there
Speaker 1: was like a David Attenborough show. It came out on
Speaker 1: Apple TV, and it just like didn't exist because it
Speaker 1: came out on Apple TV.
Speaker 2: They're just like, no, what, shut the fuck up? No,
Speaker 2: nobody like that.
Speaker 1: Then Netflix did the basically the exact same thing, used
Speaker 1: a David Attenborough like production team, but gave the voiceover
Speaker 1: work to Moriam Freeman. It was like a competing project
Speaker 1: and it like The New Yorker wrote a profile on it.
Speaker 1: It was like this massive hit because it was on Netflix.
Speaker 1: So it's just I feel like being on Netflix give
Speaker 1: is giving shows like a whole second win. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like that, Oh, your show doesn't really exist until
Speaker 1: it comes out on Netflix.
Speaker 5: I feel like it's been like that for a while though.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I feel like Netflix because what they'll do is just
Speaker 6: like serve it up in that new I think they
Speaker 6: rechanged their I don't know what to call it, their homepage. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think they changed out the format of their homepage recently,
Speaker 6: the way it serves you things. So then it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 6: you gotta watch suits, even though the show super old, you.
Speaker 2: Gotta watch suits.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: And I don't feel like Hulu you get that as much,
Speaker 6: but maybe because I'm watching SVU right now, I'm getting
Speaker 6: a lot of ads on Hulu specifically, it's like, you
Speaker 6: want to check out CSI New York, like that really
Speaker 6: old shows in New York.
Speaker 3: What's that It's now on Hulu.
Speaker 2: Our numbers say you do, so you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God damn, they're really It's hard to find the
Speaker 1: Nielsen ratings for like the most streamed shows of the year.
Speaker 6: I know, I was trying to find something before we
Speaker 6: got on, and even if it was like Rotten Tomatoes
Speaker 6: or something, but it just kept giving me premiere dates
Speaker 6: like of episodes or shows, and I was like, no,
Speaker 6: I'm looking for, like, what were the top shows this year?
Speaker 4: Because does Nielsen track like streamers like Netflix, and I
Speaker 4: think they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're like keeping it a secret. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: weird wild Uh Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean there were when I was looking up what
Speaker 5: TV show this year for this episode, there were so
Speaker 5: many shows I'd never heard of. And then there are
Speaker 5: also like shows I'd watched half of that I'd completely forgotten,
Speaker 5: Like I honestly like forgot i'd watched them until I
Speaker 5: saw that today googling it like that seth Rogan show
Speaker 5: that was on Apple Patonic.
Speaker 3: Oh, I actually watch a great I have a list
Speaker 3: of great Apple TV shows that were slept on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a good show. I just like forgot
Speaker 5: about it because I never turn on Apple TV.
Speaker 1: This whole streaming world like makes no sense. Bluie is
Speaker 1: at number one as we speak, and but it's like
Speaker 1: hasn't released new episodes and forever.
Speaker 2: It's just people are like, I don't know, they're at
Speaker 2: home with their kids.
Speaker 1: It's just like it's not a suits is continuing to
Speaker 1: be in the top ten. They haven't released episodes in
Speaker 1: seven years. It just it's not a event based thing anymore,
Speaker 1: which seems like it sucks. Like it seems like it
Speaker 1: sucks for the industry and they should be I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they should like bury the shows that people actually
Speaker 1: want to watch, and I'm sure that's like more cost effective,
Speaker 1: but it does feel like you would want to like
Speaker 1: make shows coming out and being watched by a bunch
Speaker 1: of people an event that people like paid attention to
Speaker 1: and like market it. But instead they're just it's all
Speaker 1: kind of in this weird between area where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well if it comes back out on Netflix, or like
Speaker 1: it hits the Netflix algorithm again, it will kick back up.
Speaker 4: I feel like they do that for things that they
Speaker 4: could turn into like an amusement park, like I know,
Speaker 4: Last of Us got so much shit, and just recently,
Speaker 4: in like Halloween Horror Nights, there was a Last of
Speaker 4: Us maze. I don't know how you could do like
Speaker 4: a horror maze of beef or something, you know, or
Speaker 4: the rehearsal. It just doesn't fit that way, and therefore
Speaker 4: they can't market it in that way.
Speaker 1: The beef needs to like turn into a fast and
Speaker 1: furious style thing where it's just like road Rage, the
Speaker 1: TV show road Ridge the Ride.
Speaker 5: That's true, The Last of Us was huge. That was
Speaker 5: a huge show this year.
Speaker 2: That huge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that can't be true. You guys are all right because.
Speaker 6: It was in the summer. I remember because my partner
Speaker 6: sister was staying with us this summer and she was
Speaker 6: loving or not, she's a big fan of show. She
Speaker 6: was checking in every week.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: I am gonna continue to not believe you.
Speaker 2: Anna.
Speaker 1: You said that Apple TV had some had some hits
Speaker 1: that people are sleeping on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I thought so, Like uh, jam said
Speaker 3: Platonic then there was shrinking The Big The Big Door
Speaker 3: Prize was really fine.
Speaker 1: That's just a random assortment of words.
Speaker 2: Hello tomorrow, what is the Big Door Prize?
Speaker 3: I literally was googling it. Cru so down show that
Speaker 3: was like really interesting kind of sci fi but also
Speaker 3: like really funny and well written. I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: So it's like because that, I thought that was going
Speaker 1: to be a game show, but instead it's like is
Speaker 1: it about a game show?
Speaker 3: No, it's about this like machine that shows up in
Speaker 3: this small town and it like the machine, if you
Speaker 3: put your information in it, it prints your like destiny,
Speaker 3: and so it like throws this small town for a
Speaker 3: loop because all these different people learn like what their
Speaker 3: destinies are. And it's a very interesting show. I really
Speaker 3: enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: That sounds great and truly I can't believe it exists.
Speaker 2: That's so weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm telling you. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: great Apple TV shows that were slept on, uh like
Speaker 3: the purpose.
Speaker 2: They just like don't want people to.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I think people just don't have
Speaker 3: Apple TV.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think a people don't have Apple TE I'm
Speaker 6: very intrigued by this trailer, just because I feel like
Speaker 6: every trailer for an Apple TV show looks the same now, Like, am.
Speaker 2: I like I have like a house style?
Speaker 6: Yeah, which I'm sure is part of Apple's branding, But
Speaker 6: I just realized how like formulaic these trailers are looking
Speaker 6: coming out of Apple TV.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of people on nice cotches facetiming other people.
Speaker 6: Well, it's like the camera angles and the coloring. Because
Speaker 6: I was watching this one on mute when as we
Speaker 6: were talking, and I'm like, it reminded me of the
Speaker 6: midnight Shyamalan show that was on Apple TV too, even
Speaker 6: though it's like a wildly different genre.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I watched that show too, which one I don't
Speaker 5: remember what it was.
Speaker 3: Called, but it was like a baby that was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh servant, that was weird.
Speaker 1: Didn't come out this year, right, that's no, no, no, okay,
Speaker 1: but like that might as well have come out this
Speaker 1: year if The Last of Us.
Speaker 2: Came out again. I don't believe that it did, but like,
Speaker 2: if you know, I.
Speaker 6: Feel like the only thing I finished this year was
Speaker 6: Netflix's House of Usher.
Speaker 3: I okay, has anyone the House of Usher? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Fall that the prequel, just the House.
Speaker 6: Of Usher, Yes, the Fall of the House of Usher.
Speaker 6: The Mike Flanagan, I don't know, thriller, horror thriller. He
Speaker 6: has done it like the past few years, He's had
Speaker 6: like four I think with Netflix now. But I felt
Speaker 6: like it was kind of mid in comparison to his
Speaker 6: other I love a Mike Flannagan project, but I felt
Speaker 6: like the comparison he did the Haunting of Hill House,
Speaker 6: the Haunting of Black manor uh, he did Midnight Mass.
Speaker 6: I think he did this other one that's like, I
Speaker 6: don't know. It was more of like a kid's thriller
Speaker 6: or not kids team.
Speaker 2: Midnight Club, Yes, Midnight Club. I was like night It
Speaker 2: all has to be named after like a house of
Speaker 2: some sort or a building.
Speaker 6: But I feel like Haunting a Hill House will always
Speaker 6: be the best. Like I feel like it was top tier.
Speaker 6: It was like story element, script acting. It was like
Speaker 6: the best of the best of all of the pieces.
Speaker 6: I felt like it was the most intense in terms
Speaker 6: of like connection, and it felt very like vibrant and sad.
Speaker 6: But the rest of them have been kind of like
Speaker 6: up and down campy. They're all fun and enjoy and
Speaker 6: if you love like a halloweeny, spooky thriller type of thing.
Speaker 6: All a fun watch, but I felt like this one
Speaker 6: kind of fell flat if you're thinking of like Hunting
Speaker 6: of Hell House and Midnight Mass to Me were his
Speaker 6: top two but the only project I didn't I don't
Speaker 6: even think I finished Beef. I didn't finish Bear. I
Speaker 6: didn't finish Daisy Jones in the sixth Even though I
Speaker 6: enjoyed all those things, I got overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the only.
Speaker 3: TV scripted TV.
Speaker 6: I watched a lot of unscripted television this year. American
Speaker 6: Horses Story. I watched Concardashian's American horror story.
Speaker 2: That was Kardashians fun.
Speaker 6: I think she kind of ate not gonna lie, but
Speaker 6: don't like that she was a scab for it. So
Speaker 6: how to reevaluate myself after realizing that when I was
Speaker 6: watching it?
Speaker 2: Wow, I know, I.
Speaker 6: Didn't know until I was like halfway through the season.
Speaker 6: So then I stopped watching.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do one more break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and give our final thoughts on the year and streaming.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and Anna, do you have like a
Speaker 1: top three shows of the year that you want to
Speaker 1: shout out that you feel like people for sure, sounds
Speaker 1: like you don't.
Speaker 3: Please, it's literally me.
Speaker 2: Have you met me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, have you met me? M Okay, So
Speaker 3: then how dare you ever a question that I would
Speaker 3: have a top three shows I would recommend top shows
Speaker 3: of the year. I would say one Jury Duty, Yeah,
Speaker 3: incredible television, A joy, a joy. I also I would
Speaker 3: love to give some love to Righteous Gemstones. They're not
Speaker 3: doing it like they do it on Righteous Gemstones. Let
Speaker 3: me tell you who's not doing it like they do anyone?
Speaker 2: Like no one.
Speaker 3: No one's doing it like Danny McBride is doing it.
Speaker 2: Facts.
Speaker 3: And I don't just say that because I like work
Speaker 3: with Adam Devine all the time, because I would say,
Speaker 3: like he's fine in the show, like it's all about
Speaker 3: like Judy, Judy Gemstone. Let's give some love to our
Speaker 3: girl Edie Patterson show.
Speaker 6: I really love character and I've tuned into it. Oh
Speaker 6: you would love the South and Loves Comedy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great show. And then I you know,
Speaker 3: of course I have to give absolute love to ABVIOD Elementary,
Speaker 3: great television, great television. So those are my top three
Speaker 3: right now, and then you know, just some quick love
Speaker 3: to the Curse the Bear, Ahsoka, this fool only Murrs
Speaker 3: in the Building, Monarch, that monster show. I actually have
Speaker 3: enjoyed The Bucketeers if you want a sort of a
Speaker 3: Bridgerton adjacent to style show. Look, there's so much great
Speaker 3: television out there. You know, you could be watching if
Speaker 3: you weren't Jack.
Speaker 1: You know, I actually ended up like watching more than
Speaker 1: I thought. I watched The Bear, which I enjoyed. Jury Duty,
Speaker 1: Dury Duty, and The Bear probably near the top of
Speaker 1: my list.
Speaker 2: And yeah, let's go with the.
Speaker 1: Come back to me for the third one. Anybody else,
Speaker 1: anyone want to call out a show? Oh in the
Speaker 1: season three of the other two?
Speaker 3: Oh, the other two always incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, Succession, that's the first Succession in there. Instead
Speaker 2: of The Bear.
Speaker 5: I would like to give a shout out to the
Speaker 5: new Scott Pilgrim show.
Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great. It's I've heard from a lot of
Speaker 5: people that didn't watch it because they thought it was
Speaker 5: just going to be like a remake.
Speaker 2: Of the literal story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's so different and it's really interesting. It's
Speaker 5: not quite a remake, it's not quite a sequel. It's
Speaker 5: kind of a reimagining, but there's like a narrative reason
Speaker 5: behind that, and yeah, it's basically it's also just an
Speaker 5: interesting thing because it's clearly they went back to Brian
Speaker 5: Lee O'Malley, who wrote the original comics, and it's you know,
Speaker 5: it's the product of like when you ask a guy
Speaker 5: who's older now to go back and work on the
Speaker 5: story that he wrote when he was, you know, in
Speaker 5: his twenties or however old he was, it's you're not
Speaker 5: going to have the same perspective on that. And I
Speaker 5: think it was actually a really interesting show as a result.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna wisened. Yeah, because I love.
Speaker 3: The original Scott Pilgrim.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, it's you should definitely check it out.
Speaker 5: It's great. And yeah, like on I said, the Curse
Speaker 5: is is very good. I actually saw the beginning of
Speaker 5: it in the in a theater and seeing it with
Speaker 5: an audience just like like literally cringing in their seats,
Speaker 5: going oh like audibly reacting. So the discomfort was was
Speaker 5: pretty special.
Speaker 4: I can imagine I know the scene where you could
Speaker 4: feel how uncomfortable everyone was in that episode. So I'm
Speaker 4: the opposite of Jack. I realized that I watched almost
Speaker 4: no television this year. All of my picks were like,
Speaker 4: Better Call Saul, which came out last year, and then
Speaker 4: the Rehearsal, which also came out last year. So I'll
Speaker 4: just give a shout out to the Curse also because
Speaker 4: oh and Fargo. Fargo is back this year, and I
Speaker 4: didn't really like last season. But it's really coming back
Speaker 4: pretty hard.
Speaker 3: Is it. I am so in and out with Fargo
Speaker 3: because I'm like, what are we doing here? Are you
Speaker 3: good this season? Or are you not good this season?
Speaker 3: Up your mind?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 4: It feels like it's going back to its roots, and
Speaker 4: especially it like the first shot is the definition of
Speaker 4: what Minnesota nice is, and so they're really leaning in
Speaker 4: hard with the extreme violence mixed with the awe heck
Speaker 4: of it all, you know. So yeah, so I'm I'm
Speaker 4: really enjoying it so far. I'm a little behind, and
Speaker 4: not to spoil, but there is like an R rated
Speaker 4: version of Home Alone just in the middle of the series.
Speaker 4: So it's pretty fantastic.
Speaker 6: Oh is that what that like clip of like McCaulay
Speaker 6: culkin that goes viral is about?
Speaker 2: No, I don't know, it's it's just like somebody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is like a bunch of like trap, but
Speaker 4: they show what the real world effects would have been
Speaker 4: and it's pretty it's pretty special.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, like a some like guy
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere will home alone his house,
Speaker 1: but with like real weapons, and it's frequently a disaster.
Speaker 5: Oh, poker Face came out this year too. Once you
Speaker 5: mentioned poke, Did poker Face come out this year?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a long year.
Speaker 2: Poker Face was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite first episodes of a show, Like
Speaker 1: the first couple episodes of the show are really great,
Speaker 1: great performance, great. We talked about how Colombo was getting
Speaker 1: a lot of flowers from people this year, and this
Speaker 1: show felt specifically like indebted to Colombo in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways.
Speaker 2: But yeah, poker Face is awesome.
Speaker 1: Did people watch Colombo this year that that was the
Speaker 1: thing that happened, right, I'm not making that up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't know anyone else did.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of people talking, like there was
Speaker 1: a thing where someone was talking about how they're the
Speaker 1: family tree of like the best TV writing that ever happened,
Speaker 1: Like you can trace it all back to Colombo, like
Speaker 1: it all like all the people who made the greatest
Speaker 1: prestige TV of all time were people who.
Speaker 2: Either worked on Colombo or worked for people who worked on.
Speaker 5: Colombo because they all quit because Peter Fauk was a
Speaker 5: maniac and went to different shows.
Speaker 2: I think he was.
Speaker 5: I think he was very controlling of the character. And yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: actually that was my favorite TV of the year was
Speaker 5: by far watching DVDs of Colombo with my son when
Speaker 5: we all had COVID. I was like, and he was
Speaker 5: wasn't able to sleep, so it's like, sure, you can
Speaker 5: watch this with us. So we all watched Colombo and
Speaker 5: uh yeah, because I was like, I guess it's appropriate
Speaker 5: for kids. You know, there's no blood or swearing, and yeah, great.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the number one show of twenty twenty four. Colombo.
Speaker 1: It's gonna NEI people are gonna be.
Speaker 2: Like, have you guys seen this fucking thing? Colombo? All right?
Speaker 2: On any final word before we.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I really enjoyed television and I'm excited
Speaker 3: to see what's next year because with the strikes, anything
Speaker 3: can happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah hell yeah, all right, Well, thank you guys so
Speaker 1: much for joining us.
