Description
HBO has gone back to the 1980s for a miniseries take on the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster; to discuss whether the show is as big a catastrophe as the event, we've invited Adam Sternbergh to join us! Around The Dial clicks through Tuca & Bertie, Dead To Me, Money Heist, Atlanta, and Hulu's upcoming Catch-22. Sean and Tim use their Extra Credit to challenge us to rank the caregivers of Call The Midwife before Adam presents the first Barry episode to the Canon. After naming the week's Winner and Loser, we each try not to be the last holding the Hot Potato during Game Time. Put on your hazmat suit and listen in!SHOW TOPICSChernobylTuca & BertieDead To MeMoney HeistAtlantaCatch-22Extra Credit: Rank A MidwifeThe Canon: Barry S01.E07: Chapter Seven: Loud, Fast, And Keep GoingWinner and Loser of the WeekGame Time: Hot PotatoSHOW NOTESAdam Sternbergh on TwitterTara on Good Girls for PrimetimerSarah on The Act for PrimetimerPhoto: Liam Daniel / HBOSUPPORT EHG ON PATREONThe EHG gang have been recording this podcast for almost a decade now. In podcasting terms, that makes us positivity Methuselahian. Since the start of EHG, our listeners have asked if we had a tip jar or donation system and we'd look at each other and say surely that is a joke, people don't pay other people to do podcasts. We'd email them back "Ha ha ha, good one, Chet" and go about our business. Now we are told this is a real thing that real nice people do. Value for value? In today's topsy turvy world? It's madness but that good kind of madness, like when you wake up a 3:15am and clean your house. Or something. In all seriousness, we are humbled by your continued prodding to get a Patreon page up for EHG and here it is!
