The Televerse #505- Spotlight on Gargoyles

For this episode of the podcast, we’re continuing our adventures with staples of ’90s television. This time, it’s the beloved animated series Gargoyles, which one of our hosts loves from their childhood and one has never seen. Does it hold up? Before that, though, there’s a full week in TV to break down. Noel and Kate kick things off with Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, and an episode full of zags instead of zigs. Then we move to genre with the return of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, eventful episodes of The Flash and Batwoman, and the premiere of Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Then we round things out with another delightful, loosey-goosey episode of Top Chef: Portland. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your takes on Gargoyles and the week’s TV.

The Televerse #337- Spotlight on Queer Eye Season 1

It’s Olympics season once again, which means there’s also a bit of a respite in what is typically a busy TV midseason. This week, Noel and Kate talk through a truncated week in TV, looking at the finale of Star Trek: Discovery, the midseason premiere of Legends of Tomorrow, a powers-centric Black Lighting, the latest RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Snatch Game, a dizzying Top Chef: Colorado, and the penultimate Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Then we head over to Netflix and spotlight the first season of the Queer Eye reboot. How do we feel about the new Fab Five? Did Star Trek: Discovery live up to its potential? How much Trent is too much Trent on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? (Spoiler alert: there is never too much Trent.) Listen to our thoughts, then reach out with your own takes on these pressing TV questions.
