0:00.0	Hello, welcome back to House of R. I'm Joanna Robinson, and no. This is not an episode of the Prestige TV podcast. This is an episode of House of R. But joining me today, as he has with every alien episode that we've covered on this feed,
0:23.3	it is Rob Mahoney. Hey, Rob, how are you doing? Joe, I'm doing fine. But I'm looking at my monitor. Yeah. Have you gotten a signal for the tracker or the AV feed on Mal today? Oh, listen. Last I saw there was an eyeball with a bunch of tentacles headed her way, and I'm sure she's fine.
0:40.4	No, Mallory has a bit of a migraine today, so we are doing our best of soldier on without her. We will miss her dearly. She wanted to give her fond regards to Tootles via me. But the good news is Rob and I know how to talk about television together.

1:23.8	series Task with Bill Simmons. So it's a great show. Really, really good show.
1:30.6	Completely. And of course, by that, I mean our podcast. And then the TV show is also pretty good.
1:37.2	Question for you, Joe. If in the finale of task, Mark Ruffalo goes to Wawa. Yeah.
1:46.6	And mayor from mayor of East Town shows up.
1:46.9	Uh-huh.
1:51.7	Is it the level of cinematic universe that would then qualify it to be on House of Art? I think so.
1:52.7	Does it need a genre component?
1:54.3	It depends who scores the like,
1:57.7	dun, dun,
