Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 29: Murder, Knives, Taxis, and Summer TV

 

Taylor Gaines and Bryan Faux are here to discuss the battle for our summer TV attention. Is HBO’s “The Night Of” in prime position to dethrone “Mr. Robot”? Only time will tell. They discuss what makes “The Night Of” compelling, the fact that crime storytelling is stronger than ever, theories about the titular Night Of, and more.

Note: Apparently, “The Night Of” is based off some kind of British show or something…no matter.
