Having spent a week at the Cannes Film Festival, we are now in withdrawal. Nat’s watching Marvel shows with her guys — and though she loves a good action TV show, she's missing the nuance. Bec is filling the hole with The Pitt — with a beefier Noah Wyle. Which brings us to our guest: Michel Ghanem, better known as TV Scholar. He's French, he's smart, and he does some serious research on the TV that’s out there and worth watching. We talk about how he left academia for television and his column for The Cut, “Appointment Viewing.” When he comes back to Toronto for TIFF we're going to hang out and figure out a follow-up conversation with our new friend — because he’s just that kind of TV expert that we need to talk to again.
