Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 6: The Culture Shake-Up and State of Television

April 18, 2016 /

 

They went missing last week, but now Bryan Faux and Taylor Gaines are back! This week, they cover the shake-up that’s changing the corner of the internet that covers pop culture, including Grantland, Hitfix and Vox, and mourn the death of the Hollywood Prospectus podcast. They also discuss the state of television and get in some quick hits on “Review,” Oscar season, movies in general and “Project Greenlight.”

(The episode number that Bryan says at the beginning will slightly differ for the first seven or so episodes because Bryan initially had more of a general media podcast. As far as the Fauxworthy TV Podcast goes, this is number six.)
