616: Issuing A Silver Alert For The Boroughs

About this episode

The episode discusses the new series The Boroughs and features a variety of topics including other shows and a guest appearance.

The Stranger Things team (among others) is back with a similar “a community of X bands together against a supernatural force” story in The Boroughs , which features an all-star cast (Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, Lester from The Wire ) going up against [ redacted ] AND their own aches and pains. Does the actors’ group chemistry carry the story, or did it need to take one thing off? And have we maybe seen these ideas in other properties like The Descent and Man On The Inside ? If that pairing of references didn’t give you whiplash, come Around The Dial with us for Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed , Animaniacs , The Bear ‘s trip to Gary, IN, and a Drunk Dave recovery report before Dave takes us to a DIFFERENT old-folks home with his Aqua Teen Hunger Force Canon pitch. BAffleck won, Tom Hardy lost, and we all hoped Game Time would tie the whole episode together. Barge on in with a six-pack and some gossip: it’s an all-new Extra Hot Great.
