Reality-television expert Andy is back to talk about Pooch Perfect, and why you shouldn't sit, stay in front of the show, including awkward hosting by Rebel Wilson, consent issues with dyeing dogs, and a total lack of narrative tension. Matters improved with Around The Dial, as we discussed Genius: Aretha, Superstore, Race To The Center Of The Earth, Tough As Nails, The Bridge, and Housewives in the age of COVID before generating a suite of new Survivor themes for Josh's Extra Credit. After Andy tried to find Starz's The Chair a seat in The Canon, true crime won, CBS lost, and Dan Cassino forced us to answer casting calls during Game Time. Give yourself a treat: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great.Show TopicsPooch PerfectATD: Genius: ArethaATD: SuperstoreATD: Race To The Center Of The EarthATD: Tough As NailsATD: The BridgeATD: Real Housewives Of New JerseyExtra Credit: New Survivor ThemesThe Canon: The Chair S01.E09: The TestWinner and Loser of the WeekGame Time: Casting CallsShow NotesFollow Andy Dehnart on TwitterSubscribe to Andy's newsletterRead Andy's reviews of The Bridge, Tough As Nails, and Race To The Center Of The EarthTara's Ben Feldman interview for Vanity FairGet that sweet true-crime discount at Exhibit B.

In podcasting terms, that makes us positively 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 at 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! Extra Hot Great on Patreon
