381: Analyzing The Shrink Next Door

381: Analyzing The Shrink Next Door

Author: Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV November 17, 2021 Duration: 1:42:36

Returning guest Dave Roth got on the couch with us for The Shrink Next Door, the Apple TV adaptation of the Wondery podcast of the same name. We discussed the pacing, whether the show needed more jokes and less attention to production-design details, and the very obviously not New York light on the outdoor sets. Did true-crime "expert" Buntsy feel differently from the rest of the panel? Later, we went Around The Dial with Yellowjackets, SNL, Evil, and The Curse Of Von Dutch before popping on our fezzes for a Lodge 49 Canon submission from Lisa. Annie Live! won, Terry Crews lost, and we tried to keep it 100 with some creative arithmetic in Game Time. Bail on your second bar mitzvah early and listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great.
