‘Survivor’ Game Changers Week 3: Double Tribal

March 28, 2017 /

The “Survivor” After Dark edition. Taylor, Ty and Levi are back to break down a confusing episode of contrived twists and turns. They start with a Fantasy update that highlights their poor prediction skills (2:15) and then talk about the crazy tribal council (3:40). Next, they reveal their weekly power rankings and discuss Levi’s inexplicable top-spot holder and the failure of the Tabua tribe (8:30). They also give five minutes to Malcolm (16:35), decide which people have no chance of possibly winning (21:45), pick their Jeff Probst Moments of the Week (23:35) and dole out their Pretentious Social Takeaways from Week 3 (25:30).

‘Survivor’ Game Changers Week 1: The Queen

March 14, 2017 /

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. First, they cover their Fantasy Survivor draft and run through the teams (1:45) and explain the trademarked, copyrighted, genius scoring system and rules (9:30). Then, the guys talk about their biggest takeaways from the first episode (11:30), the explosive ending between Sandra and Tony (16:05), whether old Jeff Probst is back (19:40), and begin their season-long quest to devote five minutes to each expelled castaway, starting with Ciera (20:55) and followed by Tony (26:00). Last, they look forward to the early-season tribe mix-up and discuss some other change-ups the game is trying to implement in its old age (31:15).

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).
