About this episode

Nick Digilio and Dan Fienberg discuss recent TV shows and pop culture moments from the 90s and 00s.

Chief TV critic Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter joins Nick for another deep dive into television. Dan reviews Peacock’s new thriller M.I.A., Netflix’s latest adaptation of Lord of the Flies, the new Martin Short documentary, and the series finale of Lisa Kudrow’s The Comeback. He and Nick also catch up on Top Chef and break down the newest episodes of SNL. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about British TV shows that inspired American remakes before diving back into pop culture moments from the 90s and 00s. They revisit trendy but terrible haircuts, massive car stereos, oversized jeans, and plenty more questionable choices from that era. [Ep 454]
