  Speaker 3: It'll just yeah. And Greta Lee is the is the

  Speaker 2: That's the season one and probably the only season of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Lucky for the finale. Uh on your Taylor Joy, Timothy Oliphant,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: this was This was meant to be a one season show,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and even though it's done very well, I hope they
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: resist the temptation to make another season because that would
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: just be wrong. And I'm hoping Timothy Oliphant doesn't skate

  Speaker 2: was a b E T Plus show starring a Dion Cole.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You might remember him from Blackish. He was a kind
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of a wild card character. It's probably one of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: funnier people on it. This is more of a dark
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: comedy about he finds out that his father is unwitting
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: He's unwittingly been left by his father a multimillion dollar
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: criminal debt, which is a little similar to Lucky and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: now he's on the hook for it and it's him
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: fighting against the mob. And it's on now on Paramount
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Plus because Paramount Plus is just absorbing everything. And if
• 4:32

• 6:55
  Speaker 2: rock band are out on tour, and we have a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: full concert from The vampiret on AMC Plus on Sunday,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: one night only live. It's a it's very theatrical rots
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: it's someone's idea who's never seen a rock concert, idea
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: of a rock concert, very very Broadway like, yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: That's the way that it was kind of performed on
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: the show.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: The show.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But the songs are pretty cool though they're kind of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: in that seventies glam rock vain. And this was filmed

• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's it for the new stuff, and uh,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: for stuff that's happening right now. This new series And
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a Pigeon on USA premiered very well. A lot of
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: people tuned in for it, really because I thought the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: cable drama was dead because USA hasn't made one for
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: over six years. It's based on the Nevada Bar books.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And uh, it's actually not a bad show. It's very
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: lightweight crime comedy. You wouldn't think a lot of crimes
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: happened in the national parks, but you know there's murders
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: for you. Yeah, yeah, for your mom. Yeah, and it's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a mom's murder show. I mean it's setting Glacier National
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Park and the scenery is fantastic, so that's a selling point.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But then also this show kind of tells you that, well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you might get murdered if you go there, but don't worry.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: An a pigeon will solve it. Okay, good, But you're
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: already dead.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like the jim Chie Yeah you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it's a he's a Novajo detective.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And also liking the Shards from Ryan Murphy based
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: on Brett Easton Ellis's novel sort of semi auto.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I forgot for this many Cinny Crawford and Minie's.
