About this episode
Will Leitch, sportswriter and newspaper journalist, is back to talk about The Office -verse sitcom The Paper -- and whether you should bother with the season that just dropped in its entirety on Peacock. Has the world moved on from the TV mockumentary? Does this show understand what it is to love reporting? And does any of that matter if the show's not quite funny enough? Later, we went Around The Dial with Only Murders In The Building 's fifth season, 30 Rock 's YouTube channel, and Love Con Revenge before Will tried to find room in the Canon budget for Dept. Q 's premiere episode. Going Dutch won, Selena Gomez lost, and we found out who skips the closing credits in Game Time. Take a break from lining that birdcage and have a listen!
