Surfing Through Life's Endings: 'Hacks,' '100 Foot Wave,' and 'The Last of Us' Finales

Blaine and his sidekick begin with an announcement about the home site The Alabama Take (0:01) before getting into what the episode covers for the week (0:45).

Once Adam and Donovan join, Blaine breaks down some things about Todd Chrisley (1:26) before they briefly discuss the new Wes Anderson trailer (4:09) and theater expectations gone wrong (6:27).

From there, it's the usual non-spoiler section where Blaine broadly explains how 'Duster' goes sideways (8:51), an overview of this season of 'Hacks' on Max (11:03), general feelings on the season of '100 Foot Wave' (16:19), and the overall thoughts of 'The Last of Us' (19:20).

In the spoiler section, Adam and Donovan break down 'Hacks' (21:34). Blaine and Adam discuss the profundities of '100 Foot Wave' (36:03). And finally, Donovan and Blaine try to determine if 'The Last of Us' ends fairly (53:30).
