458: Going Down Deep Into Silo

Author: Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV May 10, 2023 Duration: 1:25:07
Not content to have bummed us all out with Extrapolations earlier this spring, AppleTV+ is back with yet another grim vision of our environmentally devastated future: Silo! Vanity Fair Chief Critic Richard Lawson returns to discuss it with us. Around The Dial takes us through the new third season of The Other Two, Alex Guarnaschelli's Food Network oeuvre, Secrets Of The Dead, and Star Wars: Visions. Richard makes the case for inducting Australian Survivor S10.E07 into The Canon. Then after naming a bunch of Winners and Losers of the WGA strike (which: solidarity with the workers!), it's on to a high-flying Game Time. Find a source of natural light and join us!
