Bryan and Taylor discuss “You’re The Worst” and its shift from comedy (1:10-10:15), Aziz Ansari’s “Master of None” and its distinct take on the world (10:15-16:50) as well as HBO’s “Project Greenlight” and the ensuing “The Leisure Class” (16:50-21:55). Then, Taylor pimps his new column (http://gainesvillescene.com/2015/11/17/hidden-in-plain-view-unreal-2/) and they tease next week’s discussion over TV fake-outs.
Bryan Faux and Taylor Gaines are back on a regular schedule! In Episode Eight, they discuss the premiere of CBS’ surprisingly enjoyable “Supergirl” and the state of the comic book television universe. They also talk about FOX’s reign over broadcast comedies at the moment, particularly Rob Lowe’s and Fred Savage’s new sitcom, “The Grinder.”
Original Recording Date: Oct. 27, 2015
Here’s the timeline:
“Supergirl” Premiere/State of Comic Book Television 1:05-25:05
FOX Comedies/”The Grinder” 25:05-38:30
The “Rectify”-Endorsed Sensation “Hidden In Plain View” 38:30-39:50
Next Week On the Fauxworthy TV Podcast 39:50-42:30
Bryan Faux and Taylor Gaines are back again with a new episode. This week, they discuss Comedy Central’s “Nathan For You,” which just began it’s third season. And Bryan doesn’t really like it! They also talk about FX’s “Fargo,” which debuted its second season a couple weeks ago. Another fun ending, so we’ll fix that next time.
(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 seven.)
Original Recording Date: Oct. 20, 2015
Here’s the timeline:
“Nathan For You” 2:00-17:10 (with a brief “Undateable” interlude from 15:15-16:05)
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.”

It’s a new week — hell, a new month even! And that means it’s time for a new edition of the Fauxworthy podcast!
This week, Bryan and I discuss HBO’s “Project Greenlight” and our views on reality television as well as Matt Damon’s recent journey into the media maelstrom that is the Internet in 2015. We also discuss “Empire,” which might be my new favorite thing that exists even though I have only seen one episode.
