There are fewer finales this week, but rather than cutting down on their TV intake, Noel and Kate took advantage of the extra time to catch up on a few shows each, making this yet another marathon session of the podcast. After giving some serious side-eye to So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation, we dive in with a lengthy week in comedy, including finale talk for Archer, The Carmichael Show, and The Detour as well as a look at the premiere of Maya and Marty and catchups with The Ranch, Catastrophe, and Lady Dynamite. Then we head over to the hourlongs, with some Fear The Walking Dead discussion, a few thoughts on the premiere of Cleverman and the reimagining of Roots, and plenty of Person of Interest. Afterwards, friend of the show Elena Rivera returns to the DVD Shelf to help us sing the praises of the recently canceled, and gone far too soon, Marvel’s Agent Carter.

Really great stuff guys. I discovered this podcast through TV.COM where i’m known as Fastfreddy666.
I’m listening to this podcast since episode 230 about Miami Vice with Cory Barker as guest. Great thing about this podcast is that i can download it and listen to it later on my phone/tablet/e-reader/mp3 player without the need of an internet connection.
This not possible with Totally Tubular, the podcast on TV.COM.
I’m totally agreeing with you about the Captain America turns evil thing. Some people are in great need of reality check. Let me provide you with some links. Devin Faraci wrote a beautiful piece “Fandom is broken” on the state of the fandom on Birthmoviesdeath

I really enjoy listening to the podcast every week and appreciate all the good work you’re doing.
