Summary

Monty returns to talk about Apple+'s rights-clearance/Cold-War espionage tale, Tetris, and how it stacks up against the actual game. Spoiler: most of the panel would have preferred playing to watching, but we did like some of the performances, and Sarah didn't mind a certain true-crime trifecta. Next, we went Around The Dial with Unstable, The Exhibit, Yellowjackets tasting notes from our esteemed colleague Eve Batey, and a Perry Mason credits game before Monty asked "will they or won't they" about a late-season episode of Moonlighting. Gehrig won, Fleiss lost, and we interrogated the origins of various TV objects in another Game Time round of 19 Questions. Grab a lawyer and your passport, it's an all-new Extra Hot Great!

Before we start talking about the Apple TV Plus movie Tetris, let us do some quick site business follow up from last week about our new Patreon campaign.

1:04.7

I want to let you know two things.

1:05.8

One, we are very close to that first goal in which the second episode starts in earnest.

after. Woo, very close. And on that note, I do want to say one weird quirk about Patreon. I've never

1:35.6

quite understood why they couldn't figure it out, but it falls on us, the creators and you, the patrons

1:41.8

to actually make it work is that the only way you it work, is that the only way you get
