This week, we waste no time by starting with general, non-spoiler thoughts on the huge, expensive Amazon Prime show The Rings of Power: the ratings from this group are very high (3:14). There are a few connections made for the lack of Listener of the Week, Dilly Bars, and a shoutout to this week’s College Football Pick ‘Em winner, and luckily that’s all tied into a short segment (11:53). But after that, there is plenty of talk about House of the Dragon‘s second and third episodes (14:32).
After some cool announcements, it’s a discussion of the precipitous downfall of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (37:01) before lauding the new FX/Hulu series The Patient, which stars Domhnall Gleeson and Steve Carell in interesting roles; it may be more in how much we believe in the show runners (44:26).
