'Monster' Bores, 'The Lowdown' with Hidden Purpose, and 'Task' Intensifies

Blaine and Donovan are back this week with plenty of TV discussions.


After an introduction and overview (0:02), the two begin with a talk on class reunions (1:28).


Then it's to television and the non-spoiler section to begin with a lighthearted look at 'Chad Powers' on Hulu (4:24). Moving on, they tackle Netflix's 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story', where the hosts critique its slow pacing and over-the-top performances (8:27). They also discuss 'Black Rabbit,' noting the dynamics between Jude Law and Jason Bateman (14:39). From there, it's a shift to Tulsa with 'The Lowdown' on Hulu (16:17). Finally in non-spoilers, they wrap up with 'Task' on HBO (22:03).


After the break, Blaine and Donovan detail what may be lurking under 'The Lowdown' (25:03) and how the intensity of 'Task' in its fourth episode still has plenty of threads to connect to be considered great (38:22).
