| 29. April, 2016

Queen Bey in the North

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David celebrate a weekend where even non-subscribers had access to HBO. That means everyone got to check out the Season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones, maybe television’s last great watercooler show. They reflect on the loss of Prince in a mini-segment, then dig into Beyoncé’s HBO visual album Lemonade.

AUDIO APOLOGIES – Due to internet issues, parts of Segment 3 switch to a backup MP3 track recorded raw off Skype. Our apologies. Blame Time Warner.

Huntsman

With returning guest Joe Reid of Decider!

This week, Katey, Patches, and special guest Joe Reid of Decider and the Extra Hot Great podcast gaze into the magical mirror of their local AMC multiplex and wonder, “Mirror, Mirror, on the 60-foot wall, which fantasy franchise is the fairest of them all?” The answer is not The Huntsman: Winter’s War. Plus, your answers to our Elvis and Nixon-themed lightning round question.

It’s a review menagerie!

This week, Kitty Rich, Matt Pooches, and David Ehrliphant brave the wild for Disney’s reimagined Jungle Book. Jon Favreu’s live-action take wants to be like the original, wants to walk like the original, and wants to talk like the original. FITWR’ll see if it’s true. Plus, answers to our talking animal lightning round question.
