Blaine begins the episode with a welcome and overview (0:02) before he offers Adam and Donovan a recommendation and a nod to Apple TV's 'Stick,' featuring Owen Wilson, which has a surprising potential to charm us all—if it can manage to steer clear of its own sand traps (1:04).
From there and still in the non-spoiler section, Blaine and Donovan take a hard look at FX’s 'Adults,' a show that’s trying to capture an essence (3:37). Still in non-spoilers, all three hosts round it out with 'Bono: Songs of Surrender,' a documentary that goes beyond mere fanfare (7:07).
In the spoiler segment after the break, Blaine and Donovan get into the specifics of what makes 'Adults' fail miserably (15:53) as well as what allows for 'Bono: Songs of Surrender' soar above mere U2 history (28:18).
