About this episode
AMC's newest drama is Lodge 49 , the story of a dirtbag ex-surfer mysteriously drawn to a Long Beach fraternal order; does it deserve its Better Call Saul lead-in? Surf fiction fan Adam Sternbergh returns to talk about it! Around The Dial takes us through Insecure , Babylon Berlin , and HBO's Ben Bradlee doc Newspaperman . Adam makes the case for us to induct Killing Eve 's series premiere into the Canon, and then it's up, up and away to a comic book-themed Game Time. Put on your signet ring and join us!
