Episodes
Possessed or Depressed
May 16, 2022 07:00 - 59 minutes - 55.3 MBThe CW axed more than half its lineup this week, and Jessica Biel plays a woman who axed her best friend on Hulu's miniseries Candy. I'm talking about both of those, as well as Starz's boring-ass comedy/horror/drama/mystery Shining Vale. It was a mediocre week for television viewing, but at least Drag Race Espana is still having fun.

Dispatches from My Sick Bed
May 09, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBAnother week, another missed episode. This time, I had COVID! And trust me, if I can get it, so can you - be careful out there! On the bright side, I got to watch a sh*t ton of TV, so I'm touching on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Hardy Boys, and a lot more, and I go in-depth about the very intriguing first episode of HBO Max's The Staircase.
Icing on the Garbage Cake
April 25, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBI forgot to record last week! So I'm spending this week playing catch up on everything I've watched, from The Masked Singer's utterly disgusting and absolutely infuriating reveal of Rudy Giuliani to the season premiere of HBO Max's The Flight Attendant. In between, I take detours about new episodes of Survivor, This Is Us, and the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race season 14. Speaking of Drag Race, the only news story I care about this week is the announcement of All Stars 7, which is an ALL WINNE...
Screaming Into Nature
April 11, 2022 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48.7 MBThis week: So You Think You Can Dance has an all-new panel of judges, and Dancing with the Stars is on the move to Disney+. I'm breaking down this very annoying season of The Real Housewives of Orange County and the first half of Hulu's Amy Schumer comedy Life & Beth. And my recommendation is a true crime docuseries on HBO that may end up being trash but intrigues me so far. *shrug* Click here for Matthew Morrison's truly hilarious "masterclass" video.

Cold Takes
April 04, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBAfter saying the word "regardless" approximately 400 times in the intro, which I recorded before my brain was properly operating at 7:30am on Sunday, I'm dipping back into the most recent, interminable season of Drag Race now that there's a final five, and then I have a very passionate, very unpopular opinion to share about the new Marvel series Moon Knight on Disney+. Speaking of, my recommendation is a queer as hell new kids movie on the streamer about a 13 year old boy with dreams of being...
A Nose Dive Off the Cliff of Idiocy
March 28, 2022 07:00 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBI'm back! My vacation was not very restful, but thank you for asking! This week I'm suffering through the returns of Riverdale and The Masked Singer, both of which are well past their primes and need to be put out of their misery. Or at the very least, I need to stop watching them and put myself out of my own misery. Twitter: @FakeTVCritic Blog: faketvcritic.blogspot.com Outro Music by Box Lunch Beats (IG: @a_maddox_art)
It's Incredibly Comparable to Beef Tartare
March 07, 2022 08:00 - 53 minutes - 49.6 MBI was very tired as I recorded this week, so apologies in advance for the mush mouth and for constantly losing my train of thought. But you don't come here for perfection, do you? This week I'm recapping the season 19 premiere of Top Chef, and I have a lot to say about switching up the format, the judges (I'm looking at you, Tom Colicchio), and the tone, because it needs a shake-up. Then it's the first episode of Peacock's confusing Tiger King dramedy Joe vs. Carole starring Kate McKinnon in...
How the Sausage is Made
February 28, 2022 08:00 - 53 minutes - 49.7 MBIt has been a WEEK. Everything feels dire and terrible and heavy, and I don't know how to deal with it other than distracting myself with television. I hope you were able to find some solace and distraction this week as well, because it's rough out there. I'm doing a speed round this week of almost everything I watched, including NBC's new crime thriller (I think?) The Endgame; the new Epix horror mystery From; the finale of Worst Cooks in America; and this week's terrible, horrible, no good...
Talking Pee Hole
February 21, 2022 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBI was super busy this week and didn't really get to watch TV. So all you get is a recap of Pam & Tommy on Hulu and a recommendation for one of, like, three things I had time to watch: Peacemaker on HBO Max, a really fun (and vulgar) extension of the DC Universe.

Talking Piss Slit
February 21, 2022 08:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBThe pandemic is over, apparently, so I was super busy this week and didn't really get to watch TV. So all you get is a recap of Pam & Tommy on Hulu and a recommendation for one of, like, three things I had time to watch: Peacemaker on HBO Max, a really fun (and vulgar) extension of the DC Universe.

Everything's Dying
February 14, 2022 08:00 - 47 minutes - 44.3 MBIt's hard to be entertained when everything is dying and the globe is on the verge of collapse between a pandemic, economic inflation, unpredictable weather patterns (it was 60 degrees in my neighborhood yesterday, and today we got over an inch of snow wtf), and the evacuation of officials in Ukraine in anticipation of an international incident, but the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and the dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, tiled simply Bel-Air, are here ...
Pretty Much Nooch
February 07, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBFolks, I'm so sorry, but today's episode is not the most fun or light-hearted listening you're going to have this week. The news was another sh*tstorm, with The Masked Singer and The View at the center of it, leading me into a very complex and incomplete rambling on the different social and anthropological definitions of race. Then I'm recapping the premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World, which was infuriating in its own right, and catching up on some other shows I'm watching: This ...
Enjoy Whatever is to Come
January 31, 2022 08:00 - 58 minutes - 54.1 MBIn the news this week: a Real Housewife was fired, Joe Exotic was resentenced, and Amy Schneider finishes a historic run on Jeopardy! Join me on a wild ride of complaining about reality TV this week as I hate on this season of Vanderpump Rules, which was truly terrible and should have never existed, and the most recent episodes of Queer Eye, which I typically love but am struggling to connect with this season. Am I dead inside?! Probably. And then for my recommendation, it's the absurd Netfl...
The World Is On Fire
January 24, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBThis week I'm talking about the sh*t show happening behind the scenes of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City with Jennie Nguyen's unearthed Facebook posts about the vaccine and the BLM movement; the deaths of Meat Load and Louie Anderson; and more. Then I recap what's been happening on Below Deck and address the vile, racist response to Rayna (the only female Black deckhand in the franchise's history) and her reaction to a fellow castmate's use of the N word. Then I'm talking about Cheer o...
I Want to Watch Something Stupid
January 17, 2022 08:00 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBMore sad news this week as we mourn Bob Saget's untimely passing so close to that of Betty White. But for a bit of a silver lining to the week, there's a TV sequel to the Tim Allen film franchise The Santa Clause in development, and Justified is returning to FX with Emmy-nominated star Timothy Olyphant. For this week's recaps, I'm covering the very silly premiere of 9-1-1: Lone Star, which has fully embraced its own absurdity, for better or worse; and the somewhat frustrating finale of Yello...
Cringe Factor
January 10, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBY'all! You get to hear TWO voices on this episode! My best friend was back in dirty Jerz, so we got together to watch the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race and reminisce about the good ol' days of the show while tackling what we liked and (mostly) didn't like about the premiere of season 14. If you are not a Drag Race fan, sorry, you'll be lost on this one; we went deep on past winners, viewers expectations of queens, what kinds of talent we need to see from queens to fall in love with the...
My Favorite TV of 2021!
January 03, 2022 08:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBIt's a bonus episode! 2021 was a dumpster fire, but it gave us some good TV shows, so that's something. My full list of my favorite shows of the year: Yellowjackets, Hightown, Resident Alien, Them, Cruel Summer, Pen15, Drag Race UK (season 2), Mare of Easttown, The Other Two, The White Lotus, The Chair, It's a Sin, Pose, Midnight Mass, Dr. Death, Only Murders in the Building, Chucky, Evil.

There Is No 'E' in Santa Claus!
December 20, 2021 08:00 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBHappy holidays! This week I'm talking about my favorite Christmas movies and where you can find them on streaming, because Christmas just isn't Christmas without Kevin McCallister's scream, Will Ferrell in yellow tights, and Arnold Schwarzenegger flying through Minneapolis on a jet pack. But before we can get to the joy of the holidays, the news this week was unhinged as Mr. Big is accused of multiple sexual assaults and the dad on The Goldbergs was fired for multiple HR infractions, so now ...
Stupid, Petty Bullsh*t
December 13, 2021 08:00 - 59 minutes - 55.2 MBThis week's news is all about men being awful: Chris Cuomo got fired, Josh Duggar (of 19 Kids and Counting) was convicted on child pornography charges, and Jussie Smollett was found guilty of five felonies for his fake 2019 hate crime. Jeez. And things are only mildly looking up in the recaps as I cover the first two episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County and the idiocy of pretending these women would ever be friends with each other, and then it's on to Marvel's Hawkeyei, which is ...
A Bald Cap and a Sean Cody Model
December 06, 2021 08:00 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBChristmas is coming! Holiday programming is reaching levels of insanity this year, and I'm recapping some of it this week: Annie Live! on NBC, its latest televised musical, which was somehow not a trainwreck; and 12 Dates of Christmas, an unhinged and queer AF dating show on HBO Max about people trying to find a hot fitness instructor to take home to meet their families for the holidays. Also, Hallmark Channel aired 8 movies in 4 days over Thanksgiving weekend, and I watched them all so I co...
You Are a Pig, Sir
November 29, 2021 08:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBI had a lazy week, like many of us, so I'm only reviewing one show this week: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which is (I'M TELLING YOU!) the most unreal, utterly engrossing thing currently airing on television. No, I'm not being facetious. Yes, you must watch it. Also, more actors are forfeiting paychecks in the name of "personal freedom."

Thanksgiving Isn't a Real Holiday
November 22, 2021 08:00 - 59 minutes - 55.4 MBMore actors are leaving work on the table because they don't want the vaccine, and a Buffy star testified about her allegations of sexual harassment in front of Congress this week. It's getting colder around here, so I'm taking a vacation to Turks & Caicos with the ladies of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, which is a surprisingly honest and very fun "all stars" edition of the franchise. And then, because it's a holiday week, I'm celebrating by ranting about why Thanksgiving is awful...
Perfection Isn't Always Good
November 15, 2021 10:00 - 59 minutes - 55.5 MBThere's a lot to unpack in news this week, starting with Emilio Estevez setting the record straight (or is he?) on why he's not returning to The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. I'm more confused than before after a strange statement from the actor which clarifies nothing. I'm recapping the finale of American Crime Story: Impeachment and reflecting on wtf the "crime" of the season is actually supposed to be. Is it perjury? Adultery? The makeup they put on Clive Owen? Then it's time to dive into ...
Diversity and Absurdity
November 08, 2021 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBI'm sick. :-( So this is a shorter episode than usual. (I know, you're absolutely heartbroken.) Anyway, there's news this week about a potential new talk show for Jennifer Hudson; a prequel to The 100; and a cast shake-up on The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. Then I'm recapping Amazon's new reality show Tampa Baes, a hot mess of a docusoap about a huge group of lesbian friends in Tampa Bay. And even though I didn't like any of the Countdown to Christmas movies last weekend, my recommendation i...
She Walks Into a Room and Lights It On Fire
November 01, 2021 09:00 - 56 minutes - 52.6 MBThis week on the pod: the Disney Plus reboot of National Treasure finds its lead, the People's Choice Awards nominations are out, and Squid Game is encouraging kids to beat the absolute crap out of each other during recess. Plus I'm recapping the season nine premiere of Bravo's Below Deck and the latest episode of HBO's drag docuseries We're Here. And new for the holiday season (because, yes, it is Christmas now), my recommendation is going to be my favorite Countdown to Christmas movie air...
Obsessed with Alien Sex
October 25, 2021 09:00 - 58 minutes - 54 MBAfter getting into the horrifying accidents that have been happening on film and TV sets recently, I'm recapping the season finale of American Horror Story: Double Feature and wondering out loud why the image of male rape is so pervasive in alien fiction. Then it's a speed round of TV I'm watching, with brief discussions of how things are going on The Masked Singer, Hightown, Survivor, and Batwoman. And for the first time, my "recommendation" is for something that I don't actually like! But ...
I'm Back to Hating People
October 18, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBI'm starting off with a discussion about Dave Chappelle's transphobic remarks in The Closer and the equally transphobic response from Netflix. Then I'm prepping for Halloween by recapping the premiere of Chucky on USA/SyFy, which is better than I thought a small-screen adaptation of a horror franchise about a killer doll could be, and the third season of You (which, yes, is on Netflix, after I berated them in the intro - there's no easy solution to calling out capitalism while also being par...
A Parody of Itself
October 11, 2021 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MBIt was a bit of a slow week 'round these parts, but I couldn't not talk about the new musical Diana, which is about to restart Broadway performances but was filmed during lockdown for Netflix. It's the most confoundingly awful thing I've seen in a long time, and I need everyone to experience its sheer idiocy with me. I'm also recapping the first episode of Peacock's YA teen soap/murder mystery One of Us Is Lying, a very standard book-to-screen adaptation about pretty people with secrets. T...
That's Camp!
October 04, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBThis week, I fell into the sinkhole that is NBC's new mystery-sci-fi-fantasy-drama La Brea, a truly bizarre (but ultimately kind of entertaining?) mashup of familiar shows (Lost, Land of the Lost), tropes (shady government, survivalism), and stock characters (military dad, tragically injured child, protective mom). Then I'm dipping back in to RuPaul's Drag Race UK to have an honest conversation about sizeism, fatphobia, and the awful judging we've seen so far in the first two episodes of thi...
Drugs Are Great. Drugs Are Amazing. Do All the Drugs.
September 27, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 52.4 MBIt's a busy week on the pod (and the blog!). We remember actor Willie Garson, who died this week at 57 from pancreatic cancer, and talk about the kerfuffle on The View on Friday. Then it's a whole bunch of recapping and reviewing: the finale of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers, which couldn't stick the landing; the very welcome return of Survivor (with a brief detour about the "come on in, guys" drama); the season three premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race UK; the finale of "Red Tide" in American Hor...
I Did Not Laugh Once
September 21, 2021 15:14 - 57 minutes - 53.6 MBUPDATE: Sorry, there was an audio glitch so I re-edited and uploaded! If you already listened on Monday, 9/20, this is the same episode! Happy Premiere Week! The fall TV season officially kicks off tonight, but first, we have to get caught up on the news of the last week, including the untimely death of beloved SNL star Norm Macdonald; the bizarre casting and backlash of CBS's ill-informed series The Activist; and the announcement of a new Harry Potter-themed competition series. Then it's o...
Please Send This Kid Home
September 13, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.6 MBWelcome back! A new TV season is about to kickoff, so I'm easing back into the swing of things by touching on two finales that recently aired: one satisfying (RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6) and one... not so much (Netflix's Clickbait). Then I'm recapping the first episode of the new Top Chef spin-off that just began on Peacock, Top Chef Family Style. It features kids competing alongside adult relatives and the very confusing choice of Meghan Trainor as host and judge. Finally, my recommenda...
Do the White Thing
August 16, 2021 17:19 - 42 minutes - 39.7 MBSURPRISE! Welcome to a bonus episode of Fake TV Critic, where I couldn't shut my white mouth up about HBO's The White Lotus. The finale was last night, and it left me with a lot of thoughts and a lot of feelings and a lot of conversation to potentially be had about privilege, colonialism, heritage, belonging, and how replaceable minorities of all kinds tend to be in the eyes of the white, rich, and privileged. So listen along and feel free to call me an assh*le on Twitter! I also talk briefl...
It's Really Not That Hard to Get Consent
July 05, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 52.3 MBThis week was a mess, y'all. A former Disney Channel star is charged with a felony against a minor and Cosby was released from prison on a technicality. But hey, Good Omens got a surprise renewal on Amazon Prime Video! The sh*tstorm continues as I recap the finale of Top Chef and the allegations of sexual harassment against Gabe Erales that broke just as he was being deemed the winner. Fortunately, there's some dumb fun to be had in the nostalgia of Netflix's Fear Street series of films, and...
Stop Licking Things on the Runway
June 28, 2021 10:00 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBIn news this week: Manifest remains dead, Supernatural won't stay dead, Mark Harmon is getting too old for a full season of NCIS, Drake Bell sexted an underage girl, and the Peabodys announced their winners. Since there's not much on TV that I'm currently watching and since it's the last episode of Pride Month, I'm just recapping both new episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 6! There are a lot of queens we love returning, and also just a lot of queens. I'm breaking down the variety extr...
Did I Mention She Did Blackface?!
June 21, 2021 10:00 - 51 minutes - 47.8 MBIn news this week, a Beauty and the Beast prequel series is in the works, a sitcom star of yesteryear has passed, and Barry Watson falls deeper into the Evangelical entertainment rabbit hole. Then I'm recapping the finale of Cruel Summer, which was so much better than any Freeform show has a right to be; and Drag Race Down Under, which was so much worse than any drag show has a right to be.

Disney Would Never Allow Lube on Screen
June 14, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBThis week's news: Zoey's Playlist isn't so Extraodinary anymore; Seth MacFarlane's foul-mouthed Ted is coming to the small screen; and Chris Harrison's rose has wilted. For this week's recaps, I'm covering the new RHOBH spinoff on Peacock, Vanderpump Dogs, starring Lisa Vanderpump and a bunch of adorable pooches looking for fur-ever homes (I hate me too for that dad joke, don't worry); and the second season of Hulu's gay coming-of-age story Love, Victor, which has grown up quite a bit since...
Pure Chaos, Totally Unhinged
June 07, 2021 10:00 - 50 minutes - 47.1 MBShang Chi is mad at Netflix, and Ryan Murphy has found his next twink muse for American Horror Stories. I'm recapping the premiere of the truly unhinged new installment in the Drag Race Extended Universe, Drag Race Espana; and then I also talk about how the Rugrats reboot on Paramount Plus is uncanny, endearing, and overall kinda bad (mostly because it has made me attempt math in my head to figure out how old the parents are and whether I am now the same age as fuddy duddy ass characters like...
Let's All Cry Together
May 31, 2021 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MBDrag Race: All Stars 6 is coming! We got a cast announcement and premiere date this week, along with some news on Debris, a new Marvel series on Disney+, the 2021 Tony Awards, and Bill Cosby's parole hearing. For recaps this week, I'm covering the season five finale of This Is Us, which features a semi-shocking flash forward, and the first few episodes of Amazon's new teen thriller series Panic, about a small Texas town where recent high school grads play a game where they try not to die for...
It Made My Butt Tingle
May 24, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBI start off with brief update on upfronts week, a swift cancellation of a UK series following allegations of sexual misconduct against its star, and an absolutely bonkers story about how Law & Order: SVU and Mariska Hargitay helped save an attempted kidnapping victim's life. Then it's on to the recaps of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere, which is shady as all hell thanks to the editors (they're doing God's work); and the semifinals episode of The Masked Singer, which continues th...
Queer Black Cosmic Romance
May 17, 2021 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.7 MBLots of renewal and cancellation news this week, including the surprise announcements that NBC will not be broadcasting the 2022 Golden Globes and Ellen's talk show is getting the boot. For this week's recaps, I watched the latest episode of The CW's Nancy Drew, which introduced us to a gay Black billionaire tech genius named Tom Swift, who may be getting his own spin-off. Then it's on to the series finale of Mom, one of my favorite comfort food sitcoms, which ended on the most hopeful note ...
Balls
May 10, 2021 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.8 MBIt was a slow news week, so I took up most of the current events segment gossiping about Janet Mock's "emotionally unhinged" (as Page Six called it) speech at the Pose premiere party. And since I'm so ecstatic that Pose is back, I also recapped the season three premiere. After a long hiatus, Million Dollar Listing New York is also back on the air, and I'm discussing the new broker (the first woman to be featured on the series), the ugly apartments that cost more than I could earn in five lif...
Wawa Coffee and a Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese
May 03, 2021 10:00 - 51 minutes - 47.8 MBIs a Jeopardy champion flashing white power symbols? Were the Oscars insufferable this year? Does The Duchess actually exist? It's a weird week for TV news. And for reviews, I watched the first episode of HBO Max's tragically bad (and mean as hell) new reality competition series starring Bethenny Frankel, The Big Shot with Bethenny, so that you don't have to. It's also premiere week for the long-awaited Drag Race Down Under, and it's a camp ol' time. And then you get to hear my Philly/DelCo ...
Absurd Wig
April 26, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 52.5 MBCaitlyn Jenner is running for Governor of California, and no one asked for this. Other news this week: How I Met Your Mother gets a spin-off starring Hilary Duff and Below Deck gets two new franchise extensions. I'm also recapping the season finales of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and RuPaul's Drag Race (I have a lot of feelings, so this episode is long), and my recommendation for the week is a new Freeform 90s teen mystery drama that isn't as absurd or annoying as Pretty Little Liars, I p...
This Episode is Gay
April 19, 2021 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MBThis episode is brought to you by two pots of coffee and blind rage. I start off the news segment this week by ripping Carole Radziwill and her casual homophobia surrounding the coming-out of The Bachelor's Colton Underwood to shreds. I got heated, folks. And then, because Carole got me going, I decided that I would not be participating in straight culture for this episode, so I bring you recaps of two shows that feature queer characters (The CW's Kung Fu and Younger, late of TV Land and cur...
It's a Chicken and Vegetables Concept
April 12, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBThere's even more Drag Race headed our way very soon as Drag Race Down Under announces a premiere date! Also, MacGyver gets canned and Tyler Perry's Madea is set to take over TV after conquering film and stage over the past several decades. For recaps, I get into the new season of Top Chef, which is set in Portland and features approximately 313875 contestants, and Amazon Prime's new horror anthology series Them, which is getting some mixed feedback but which I find absolutely fascinating an...
The Real Housewives of the Federal Bureau of Prisons
April 05, 2021 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah has been ARRESTED on federal fraud charges, and we never saw it coming. But the cameras might have, because it apparently happened during filming of season two, which gives us all something to look forward to. For recaps, I dive in (bad pun intended) to the latest episode of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, featuring the most atrocious charter guests of all time, and the return of Christopher Meloni to Law & Order: SVU and the pilot of his new sp...
F*$K YOU! DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!
March 29, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 34.1 MBWe lost two TV icons this week in George Segal (The Goldbergs, Just Shoot Me) and Jessica Walter (Arrested Development, Archer, Dinosaurs, Amy Prentiss), and Sharon Osbourne lost her job! This week's recaps include the stellar midseason entry of Batwoman, "Survived Much Worse," and the premiere of the Disney Plus sequel/reboot series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, starring Lauren Graham and Emilio Estevez reprising his role from the films as Gordon Bombay. I have feelings about it. Twitte...
I'd Like to Report a Bimini Bon Burglary
March 22, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.5 MBThis week is full of contentious topics: Paris Hilton, Sharon Osbourne being a racist POS, and the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK crowning a winner that, while deserving, was not the fan favorite (or the frontrunner, statistically speaking). Plus HBO Max has released the first five episodes of its teen dramedy Generation (or Genera+ion, as it's stupidly stylized), and it's a friggin' MESS, y'all. So there's a lot to complain about this week. Strap yourselves in! Twitter: @FakeTVCritic Blo...
Jumping the Frog
March 15, 2021 10:00 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBI'm sorry, but it was the biggest story of the week, so I had to talk about it: Meghan & Harry. I kick things off with my mostly-uninformed opinion about the Royals and that Oprah interview before recapping this rough-as-hell season of The Real Housewives of Dallas (RHOD) and the double standard that is Bravo's treatment of perceived racism. Then it's the season five premiere of The Masked Singer, which featured the most brutally stupid unmasking in the show's short history. And for my recomm...
