Showtime's latest docuseries is a deep (maybe too deep) dive on L.A. comedy club The Comedy Store, and first-time guest Brandi Brown -- herself a comic -- is joining us to talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through Emily In Paris, Polar Bear's Café, and Paramount's doc I Am Richard Pryor. CoreyAH challenges us to cast the Hallmark Christmas movies of tomorrow, today! Then, after her successful pitch of "Senegal," Françoise goes back to the Parts Unknown well to pitch us the "Houston" episode. We crown the week's Winner and Loser; then it's on to a Game Time that takes place in front of an unadorned brick wall. Join us -- but just so you know, there's a two-drink minimum! SHOW TOPICSThe Comedy StoreATD: Emily In ParisATD: Polar Bear's CaféATD: I Am Richard PryorExtra Credit: Counting Down To The Countdown To Christmas 2035The Canon: Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown S08.E05: HoustonWinner and Loser of the WeekGame Time: My Name Is [Blank] And You've Been GreatSHOW NOTESBrandi Brown on TwitterBrandi's Comedy Recommendations (TBA)Brandi's mentor Tracey Ashley's episode of They ReadyA profile on Ashley at Forbes.comAshley's album on SpotifyMinnesota comic Cy Amundson on SpotifyAstronomy Club on NetflixTara's review of Emily In Paris at PrimetimerBrandi's Twitter thread on Succession as Gritty Family CircusBrandi's Twitter thread on every 2020 Democratic primary candidate and who they'd be on Law & OrderA Very Special 90210 Book, the audiobookDeleted scenes from the book in the Again With This podcast feedThe Shangri-La Plaza pilotA Very Special 90210 Conversation with Tara Ariano and Sarah D.
