Ep. 18: All the World's a Stage

In this installment, I explore the second season of Canadian masterwork "Slings & Arrows." I track the first couple episodes of "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," an outrageously good episode of "Family Guy" from 2005, a Christopher Guest submission "For Your Consideration" I'd completely forgotten about (along with a few even more forgettable entries).

My current collection turned up "Class," "Machete Kills" and another disc mishap. In what I've been watching, there's "American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace" and “grown-ish." "The X Files," grudgingly, does seem to be worth a look, "The Magicians" and "Happy!" continue nicely, there's a spinoff planned from "Supernatural," and the premiere of "The Alienist" on TNT.

Ep. 17: Enjoying a Few "Finallys"

In this installment, I correct a turn-of-phrase error from when I talked about “Pushing Daisies” last time. I go into some detail about 1999’s “Topsy-Turvy,” or the making of “The Mikado.” Other finds in my classic collection include “Drumline,” “The Twilight Zone” and “Swingers.” My current collection turns up “Pacific Rim,” “Mommie Dearest” and “The Campaign” and my catalog of “Supernaturals” enters season 11. Finally, in what I’ve been watching, we’ve got the “Doctor Who” Christmas special, the “Breaking Bad” 10-year celebration and the dark ages between my classic and current collections, comments on “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” “9-1-1,” “grown-ish,” “The X Files,” “Will & Grace,” “Superstore” and “Happy!” Plus I finally get to see “Hocus Pocus” all the way through -- fun!
