Some weeks on the podcast, we discuss things that we love. Other weeks, we discuss things that we do not love, and this is one of those not-love weeks.

First, Michael Washburn does not love the way SAG-AFTRA is trying to run cover for Alec Baldwin in the shooting case on the set of the movie 'Rust.' New Mexico brought new charges against Baldwin last week, and Michael breaks down the nature of the charges and the nature of how the Hollywood elite is trying to protect one of its own in one of the most tragic on-set disasters in Hollywood history.

Matthew Ehrlich does love, or at least likes, the new 'True Detective' series 'Night Country,' but host Neal Pollack pretty much disagrees with him, as does the rest of the Internet. But Matthew has found himself drawn in by Jodie Foster's performance and by the puzzlebox nature of the show. He's on Reddit discussing Easter eggs with fellow obsessives, and maybe you will be too after listening to his take on the show.

No one is on Reddit discussing 'Argylle,' least of all Stephen Garrett, who just despised the Matthew Vaughn action-spy comedy, which he found "exhausting," and he has no interest in spending any more time with that "damn expressionless cat in a backpack." Don't worry, Stephen, the cultural drought of January and early February is almost over. Movies and TV will get good again soon, and we'll be here soon enough to talk about things we love.

Hope you love our show!
