About this episode
We're welcoming Vanity Fair TV critic Sonia Soraiya to the guest chair to talk about the shorter, neater, Julia-Roberts-less-but-still-better second season of Amazon's Homecoming -- from sensible episode lengths to overacting extras to how TV has conditioned us to react to mystery shows. We went Around The Dial with Mrs. America , Run , Nadiya's Time To Eat , and a rare successful Zoom episode from Mystic Quest , before listener John rolled a 20-sided die on getting Community 's D&D episode into the Canon. Vampires won, Skeet Ulrich lost, and one was the winningest number in a Pointless -inspired Game Time. Slap on a fake tattoo before you forget, and join us for an all-new Extra Hot Great!
