It's the last BFG podcast of the year, and we wrap it up with a year's-end roundtable with Omar Gallaga and Scott Gold, who offer their TV-watching perspective with host Neal Pollack, who watches TV 18 to 20 hours a day. Best shows) include 'Reservation Dogs,' 'Succession,' 'Scavenger's Reign,' and a sitcom called 'Primo' which Neal has never heard of but which you should watch. Worst shows) include Season 3 of 'The Witcher,' 'Squid Game: The Challenge,' and Omar's controversial selection of the final season of 'The Other Two.' The critics also did not like the reboots of 'Frasier,' 'Night Court,' or 'That 70's Show' which is now 'That 90's Show.' Essential listening about essential viewing.
Neal also spends many minutes talking to film critic Stephen Garrett about 'Poor Things),' a surrealist horror sex comedy that's in theaters now, just begging for Oscar nominations. Neal and Stephen admired Emma Stone's fully committed performance, and the movie's odd syntax and sex design, but both found its extended scenes in a French brothel to be kind of gratuitous and weirdly exploitative. Your mileage may vary. That's why God made critics and Book and Film Globe.
Happy New Year!
