Summary

This week's podcast is brought to you by the McDonald's app.

This Week In Streaming is a new podcast on the Decoding TV podcast feed that will cover the most interesting shows available on streaming each week.

This week, Siddhant Adlakha and David Chen finish their conversation about Dead Ringers. How well did this show tie together all its disparate themes? What did we think of Rachel Weisz’s performance as the Mantle twins? Does the show have anything interesting to say about the hospital industrial complex or the nature of toxic codependent relationships? And how does it compare with David Cronenberg’s 1988 classic film, which serves as the source material for the show?

Next week we’ll be wrapping up our conversation about Mrs. Davis’ first season. Will This Week In Streaming cover more after that? That’s up to you. Please let us know what you think of the podcast and what you think we should discuss next at [email protected].

We’re going to try broadcasting This Week In Streaming live as often as possible, so please do follow us on YouTube and on Twitch and you’ll get notifications whenever we go live. You can watch our conversation about Dead Ringers right here.
