Summary
On this mini-episode of The Questlove Show, Questlove dives into the rules (and risks) of “TV monogamy,” from a breakup sparked by secret binge-watching to how episode “hall passes” can save relationships. Questlove also talks about TV as constant background “aquarium,” his accidental reality TV rabbit hole, and why one cult classic TV show (that only lasted a single season) quietly reshaped The Roots’ jam-band approach.
