In Episode 79, we are back to our regularly scheduled programming after breaking down the Oscars last week. In the Snack Bag, we discuss the down ratings for the Oscars and the return of Gordon Bombay to the ice.
In the Premiere Topic, we continue our mini-series on “The Popped Cast” that we do from time to time called “Pilot Review.” Always on the hunt for a new show to watch together, we watched a pilot for a show we’ve never seen and decide whether or not it’s worth the time to continue watching. After trying "Cheers" last time, the Showtime hit “Episodes” is up next. We discuss our thoughts on the pilot, the good, the bad and whether or not we will keep watching. (You can currently watch “Episodes” on Netflix.)
PLUS, in our teasers, Maureen recommends a Netflix documentary/reality TV series and Josh recommends season 40 of a CBS stalwart.
