Episode Details

AppleTV+'s new dramedy is a series adaptation of the famously unfinished Edith Wharton novel The Buccaneers; Margaret H. Willison joins us to discuss how it compares to the many other current and recently past entires into the thriving genre of corset TV. Around The Dial takes us through Married At First Sight, Beckham, and Get Gotti, with just a little bit more on The Gilded Age than we already discussed in relation to our lead topic. Erin makes the case for the Spaced episode "Gone" to be inducted into The Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winners and Losers, we ROLE into a returning Game Time! Find a little time to yourself -- a nine-day Atlantic crossing should be plenty -- and join us!
