360: Bouncing Into Physical

Author: Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV June 23, 2021 Duration: 1:29:28

The latest new series from AppleTV+ is Physical, starring Rose Byrne as an aerobics addict in 1981 San Diego; Jeb Lund joins us to discuss whether the first three episodes left us wanting more, or...wanting more of GLOW (R.I.P.). Around The Dial takes us through Cruel Summer, Holey Moley, Exterminate All The Brutes, American Barbecue Showdown, the I'll Be Gone In The Dark special, and Epstein's Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell. Tara and Sarah share a Tiny Triumph (thanks, Slate!), and Shan takes to Extra Credit to have us gender-swap TV detectives. Jeb makes his case for the Rick & Morty episode "The Ricklantis Mixup" to be inducted into the Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Non-Regulation Game Time with a lot of pomp and circumstance. Pull on your leg warmers and join us!
