Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

Narcos reboots for a third season (minus Murphy, not that anyone's complaining), and first-time guest Melissa Locker joins us to discuss all the addictive action! We ask Will Dave Hate This? about ITV's new gladiator-cosplay competition Bromans. Around The Dial stops at American Horror Story, Will Vs. The Future, The Tick, Project Runway, Leah Remini: Scientology And The Aftermath, and the imminent fourth season of BoJack Horseman. Melissa pitches the Designing Women episode 'Killing All The Right People' for The Canon, and then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time that really stinks.

Monty returns during the deadest week on the TV schedule, and Tara proposed a TV forcening that had us all pick episodes from the week's deadest night -- Friday -- for each other to watch. We caught up with House Hunters, searched for Bering Sea Gold, survived A Murder In The Family, and tasted Epic Sweets. Then we assessed whether the Animal Kingdom theme is worse than jazz before going around the dial with Ripper Street, Scientology, and the Face Off spin-off. Will Dave hate an upcoming Orlando Bloom project about faerie expats? Did Monty's MASH submission enter the Nonac? And what the helle is going on with the theme songs in Game Time? Stop searching the guide and settle in for an all-new Extra Hot Great.GUESTS👤 Monty AshleyTOPICSLead Topic: 🗓 Friday ForceningsIs This Worse Than Jazz?: 🎷 Animal Kingdom Theme songAround The Dial: ⚓️ Leah Remini: Scientology And The Aftermath Around The Dial: 👺 Face Off: Game Face Around The Dial: 🎩 Ripper Street Around The Dial: 👨‍👩‍👧 Just Like Mom And Dad Will Dave Hate This?: 🎡 Carnival Row The Nonac: ⛺️ M*A*S*H Winner & Loser: 👍 Gabrielle CarterisWinner & Loser: 👎 Fight fansGame Time: 🧠 Le Moment De JeuxNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 169 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 Monty Ashley on Twitter🎧 The Villain Edit podcast

Netflix's long-awaited Marvel team-up The Defenders arrives...but given how long it was awaited, why isn't it better? Our Two Spotted Dicks pal Adam Grosswirth joins us to discuss. Around The Dial stops at the Claws finale, Episodes, So You Think You Can Dance, and Project Runway, ahead of Dave's musical question: are Netflix's trailer preview screens Worse Than Jazz? Adam boldly makes the case for inducting Smash's pilot into the Canon, and after we name the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time to die for.

Tara and Dave returned from a brief vacay to the carnage of a Fuck/Marry/Kill round of Wagnerian length and scope. Robot cars, starship captains, streaming (ew) services, Debra Messing characters, Golden Girls, Dean Norris, Briscoe vs. Frisco...people, it was terrifying. And exhilarating! And we can't unknow any of it, and if you listen, neither will you. How many times did Crying Dawson get killed?

Netflix drops a sequel to its Wet Hot American Summer TV series, and Adam Sternbergh makes his long-awaited return to discuss whether it's as refreshing as an Otter Pop or disappointing as a melted S'More. Around The Dial brings us to USA's new limited whydunit The Sinner, Ozark, and Intervention.

TV: The Book co-author and Law & Order Fantasy Draft winner Alan Sepinwall is back to talk about Season 7 of Game Of Thrones. Should the show be moving faster, plotwise? Who's going to end up "winning" when all is said and done? Which characters are human memes? And is Ed Sheeran a big baby for deleting his Twitter? After considering these questions, we went Around The Dial with The Challenge, Friends From College, and Ozark before picking off another Canon submission with Justified's "Decoy." Talented (future) parents were our winners, The Biggest Loser was...well, that, and we played with perceptions of opening-credits fame in a hotly contested Game Time. Make sure you pick a rubber mask with holes for your earbuds: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great.TOPICSLead Topic: 🗡 Game Of Thrones Around The Dial: 📚 Friends From College Around The Dial: ⛰ Ozark Around The Dial: 🤾‍♂️ The Challenge The Canon: 🤠 Justified Winner & Loser: 👍 NetflixWinner & Loser: 👎 The Biggest Loser Game Time: 🧠 And WithNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 163 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 Alan Sepinwall on Twitter

FX fills Fargo's time slot with Snowfall, John Singleton's drama series about the birth of crack, and Nick Rheinwald-Jones joins us to talk about it because he lives in Los Angeles and definitely NOT because he is a crackhead. Sarah explains why she's not a crackpot for thinking cable networks should just leave swear words in movies. Around The Dial takes us through Lifetime's movie Tiny House Of Terror, Younger, GLOW, and Prime Suspect - Tennison. Hannah makes her case for our inducting the series premiere of Catastrophe into The Canon, and after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a poetic Game Time.
