Hello everyone and welcome to decoding TV, a podcast about television.

0:04.3

I'm David Chen.

0:05.7

Joining me as usual is Patrick Lepick.

0:07.6

Patrick, any Memorial Day plans this weekend?

0:10.8

Yeah, getting as far away from my computer and video games as possible.

0:13.9

The pools are open.

0:15.4

David and I plan to be in them with the beer by my side and my children splashing as well.

0:21.2

So that is, if I'm not in a pool, I'm thinking about being in a pool is what my approach is going to be for the next couple days.

0:28.6

I will tell you what I'm planning to do on Memorial Day, nothing at all, because it's not a thing here, apparently.

0:39.9

Apparently they don't celebrate Memorial Day here in Portugal.

0:45.9

But, you know, all of my collaborators are taking the day off. So maybe I'll find a way to relax on that day.

0:50.9

On that note, next week's episode of the podcast, you know, we've been releasing these shows on Monday.

0:55.5

But because of Memorial Day, we are going to be delaying that by a day to accommodate some recording schedules. So just FYI, next week's episode of the podcast,

1:01.5

will come out a little bit later than usual. Thank you so much for sticking with us.

1:06.1

I also want to let people know kind of what is coming down the pike. This week, obviously,

1:10.3

we are covering Euphoria of Season 3, episode 6, and our show of the week is Lord of the Flies on Netflix. Next week, our show of the week's going to be the Burroughs, and the week after, it's going to be Spider-Noar. Coming to in June, also Cape Fear is a show that we plan to be covering as well. So those are just a few of the things that we have coming. I have to say after quite a massive drop of shows this last month, there are not that many shows that reveal themselves to be an obvious week-to-week show for us here on Decoding TV. Obviously, House of the Dragon will be covered by a cast of Kings, and so we won't necessarily

1:48.2

be covering that here on Decoding TV.

1:50.7

But yeah, if you have any suggestions for shows that you want us to cover week-to-week,

1:56.7

let us know at DecodingTV at gmail.com.

2:00.2

And again, this is a show that needs to be released episodically and not binge style.

2:05.5

So keep that in mind if you have any suggestions for us again at DecodingTV at Gmail.com.

2:10.3

All that said, Patrick, let's start off this podcast by talking about our show of the week and then getting to TV news before we get to
