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

0:04.1

I'm David Chen.

0:05.1

Joining me as usual is Patrick Kleppick.

0:07.1

Patrick, we got a lot of kind comments about our conversation about Wonder Man last week.

A lot of people love that show.

0:14.8

Are you still keeping up with Wonder Man?

0:16.4

0:18.3

I've not watched further.

0:19.8

I was out of town briefly last

0:21.0

week which got me behind the eight ball and then catching up on neticine kingdoms but i mostly is

0:25.6

going to want to rewatch the first as i mentioned i think at the end of our conversation this was so

0:30.1

good i need to catch up with my wife and i know she told me in a text message like i'll catch up

0:35.7

while you're gone david that doesn't happen that does not happen like that never'll catch up while you're gone. David, that doesn't happen.

0:37.7

That does not happen.

0:38.9

Like, that never happens.

0:40.2

So what do you have to do?

0:41.4

1:01.5

and so that i was some version of that is going to happen frankly tonight like we're recording

1:06.0

this on like on a wednesday afternoon like tonight will be the night where like the wonder man

1:10.7

catch up happens so that i can get back into going further into the show because I'm very excited to. Indeed. Well, I just want to give Wonder Man another shout out. And also Patrick and I will probably have a bonus episode discussing the, uh, the whole season. Uh, but I don't think, um, there's a lot of promotion for the show out there.

And again, check out our conversation from last week and look forward to the bonus episode coming up. Today on the podcast, we've got a stacked agenda. We've got a bunch of TV news to get to.
