Summary

As we count down to the official premiere of Starz's previously sneak-peeked new J.K. Simmons vehicle Counterpart, Eve Batey and Tim Ehhalt join us to discuss all the twists, turns, and...twins? Around The Dial takes us to new series Alone Together and Dr. Pimple Popper; limited series Wormwood; and returning fan favorites The Magicians and The Fosters. We debate the induction of the Justified episode "Brother's Keeper" to the Canon, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a non-regulation Game Time (RIP Sarah) (just kidding, she'll probably live). Grab a nostalgic funnel cake and join us!
