Bill, & Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from
the last month including Disney Plus’s Echo, Hulu’s Only Murders
in the Building S1, FX’s Fargo, HBO’s True Detective: Night
Country, and Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho.

the month to Peacock after its all time best month in streaming
subscribers, its successful NFL Playoff game,
and its debut of Ted: The Series and Oppenheimer.

deal with the WWE for Monday Night Raw, NXT, Wrestle Mania,
Summer Slam and more, along with their continuing to
reign supreme in the total subs game.
