The March madness is real. “Survivor” is back, and Taylor and Ty are teaming up to discuss all the exciting developments from the two-hour premiere of “Survivor” Season 34.

Ep. 48: Hitting the Nail on the Nose

March 13, 2017 /

 

It’s review time! The guys have seen the first four episodes of ABC’s “American Crime,” and on the heels of last night’s premiere, it’s time to talk about it. Bryan and Taylor discuss whether watching the show tackle issues is “enjoyable” (3:30), and Taylor somehow compares it to “Supergirl” (5:15). They also discuss the show feeling disjointed in the early-going (7:30), which show within the show is the best show (9:30), what the title means (13:00), and why the show is important (15:30).

Fauxworthy Podcast Episode 47: The “Girls” Experiment

March 6, 2017 /

 

The guys have a different kind of episode cooked up this week. In honor of the final season of HBO’s “Girls” — which Bryan loves and Taylor has never watched — they sat down and watched Episode 603 of Lena Dunham’s TV show, “American B****.”  (Sorry, haven’t earned our explicit rating on iTunes yet!) Taylor came up with five takeaways from the episode, and Bryan helps him decide whether they are emblematic of the show as a whole.

They discuss whether the show feels like work (5:15), whether the show is smart (8:45), whether the show is visually striking (11:20), how funny the show is (13:50), how tight the show is narratively (14:30), whether Episode 603 was a great episode of “Girls” (15:35), and whether “Girls” is unlike anything else on television (17:00).
