The Televerse #464- Spotlight on Los Espookys Season 1

It’s San Diego Comic Con International week! Which we’re skipping, for the first time since 2012. The con may still be happening at home, but if there are no overcrowded convention hallways and persistent background noise, it’s just not SDCC. We’ll hopefully be back next year, but for now, we’re focusing on our standard coverage, and thankfully this week gave us plenty to dive in with. We kick off the episode with Our Week in TV, including a surprising Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, another disconcerting I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, the penultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, two more thrilling events in Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020, and shocking and eventful episodes of Stargirl and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Then we head over to the season spotlight and have fun with the first season of HBO’s horror-tinged comedy Los Espookys. Listen for our thoughts, then reach out with your own take on the week’s TV.
