About this episode
Critic and podcaster Mark Blankenship returns to The Blankenship Chair to discuss Hitmakers , a reality show about songwriters that needs less contrived drama and more process -- but did appeal to a couple of our panelists as eye candy. Should you give it a try, or wait until one of its pop creations comes on in an elevator? We went Around The Dial with Happy Gilmore 2 , Million Dollar Secret , The Challenge 41 , and The Gilded Age spoilers before tapping our toes to a Canon pitch for Buffy 's musical episode. A nepo Beatty won, Resident Alien lost, and Non-Regulation Game Time struck a chord with another round of Tube Tunes. We don't want to call it "fire," but it IS an all-new episode of Extra Hot Great!
