Summary

This bonus episode is free but you can get all our bonus episodes by becoming a paid subscriber at DecodingTV.com!

We’re trying something new with Decoding TV this season. In the past when we’ve done bonus episodes, they’ve typically analyzed the pre-existing materials for a TV show (e.g. House of the Dragon, The Last of Us). Since Succession is original IP, it demands a different approach.

As such, I’ve invited David Cho to join me to do a few bonus episodes throughout the season. David Cho is a media veteran and has previously been the publisher of sites such as Grantland, FiveThirtyEight, and The Awl. His expertise is highly valued by media companies, celebrities, and global brands, and I’m pleased he’s sharing it with us here.

[David and I also co-hosts an ongoing podcast on my personal Patreon page, Dave on Dave, in which he critiques and provides feedback on my online work.]

In this bonus episode, we spoil and discuss Succession S4E01 - The Munsters, including how realistic the dealmaking was this episode, why it is that the Roys don’t really wear coats, and how rich people have feelings too.

0:25.8	Hello everyone and welcome to a special bonus episode of decoding TV. This
0:30.6	episode is called decoding decoding TV. Typically on decoding TV for bonus
0:37.4	episodes, what we've done is we've compared the TV shows that we're covering to
0:41.4	the source material. So in the case of House of the Dragon, we compared it to the
0:45.7	book that it's based on. In the case of the last of us, we compared it to the
0:48.3	video game. Well, of course that does not exist for succession. And so I was
0:53.1	thinking to myself, what can we do for the bonus episodes for decoding TV during this season
0:58.8	of succession? And I decided that a great way to approach this was by inviting someone
1:05.6	on who is a media expert to talk to us about how realistic the events of succession are.
1:11.8	Also, he can yell at me about the things that I got wrong during the main episode. David

1:38.1	And I'm so pleased he's sharing it with us here on decoding TV. David Cho, welcome to decoding TV.
1:44.4	No, I pitch this to you as like I feel like and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. A lot of people
