Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in
television.

Bill, and Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from

ABC’s Abbot Elementary;AppleTV Plus’s The Afterparty; CW’s
Superman & Lois; and Netflix’s Peaky Blinders &
Demonslayer.

news that Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron First, The
Defenders, & The Punisher (along with Agents of SHIELD) have
all moved from Netflix to Disney Plus, along
with some enhanced parental controls for user profiles.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a
streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows
airing/upcoming shows announced etc. This month, Josh gives it to
Disney Plus, on the heels of the Netflix series news along with
their help in fueling Encanto’s utter dominance
with the under 10 demo and the home viewing premieres of West
Side Story & Free Guy. Meanwhile Bill throws Netflix a bone
on the back of their strong awards season game this
year, the debut of The Tindler Swindler & Inventing
Anna; and The Adam Project trailer crashing the Big Game. Last
but not least, Alex tries to give a hand to Peacock for
successfully pulling off the Big Game and the Olympics while
landing the rights to the Palm Springs writer’s follow up series
The Resort and the hit reality series Love
Island.


New Series Spotlight – Alex, Bill, and Josh
watched Ben Stiller’s dystopian workplace conspiracy thriller
Severance starring Adam Scott, Patricia
Arquette, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Britt Lower, Zach
Cherry, and Dichen Lachman. Check out the three episodes now
