It’s been another tough week, with bad news outweighing good. Noel and Kate talk through the TV-related portion of this, before moving on to the week’s TV. We kick things off with the comedies, with Noel sharing his thoughts on Hulu’s Palm Springs and NBC’s 30 Rock-themed upfront presentation-slash-reunion episode. Then we talk genre, checking in on Stargirl and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Last, we round out the week with reality, so of course that means Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020, which had another two events, the long jump and the 5m hurdles, and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, with this season’s ball. Afterward, we head to the spotlight section to sing the praises of Hulu’s The Great, which dropped its first season back in May. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV and the shows you’ve been discovering during quarantine.
