TV Break: July 2020 - Hamilton on Disney+, HBO's Stacked Summer, Emmy's Predictions, & A Return to The West Wing

Pop Break’s Television Editor Alex Marcus is joined by
editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and senior columnist Josh Sarnecky
to talk about the happenings in television.


Here’s the format of the show:


The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex,
Bill, and Josh talk about a show/episode/event we liked from the
last month including and they go very HBO heavy by recommending —
Watchmen, Perry Mason, I’ll Be
Gone in the Dark and I May Destroy You.


The News You Need to Know – Alex, Bill, and Josh
discuss the impact COVID-19 has had on Emmy Awards campaigning
and how that may ultimately impacted who gets
nominated later this month.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh picks a
streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows
airing/upcoming shows announced etc. and whether it was Disney
Plus, Netflix, Amazon, or another streaming platform that came
out on top. Obviously, Disney’s stream of Hamilton was the big
winner.


Featured Review – Alex, Bill, and Josh go in the
way back machine to review the pilot of Aaron Sorkin’s
presidential drama The West Wing. The West Wing can be streamed
on both Netflix and HBO MAX currently.
