Put on your fedoras and your stupidest looking sunglasses, because it's time to talk about The Blacklist, a show about the Hannibal Lecter of vaguely defined international crimes charming FBI agents for a decade before going all Johnny Knoxville on us.
It's Nordic noir time as we cross The Bridge (Bron/Broen), the oft-remade Swedish-Danish crime series that starts with halves of two bodies placed on the border of the two nations. Prepare for a lot of gray and some thoughts about what we would do if we were trapped in a car that was rigged with explosives.
This week we're covering one of the most singular shows of the century, Atlanta. It's a program that went from slice of life comedy to art horror to a series of short films about race and ended with Thick Judge Judy. So there's a lot to talk about.
Get stoned and listen to this episode at 1:30 in the morning because we're talking about an [adult swim] program for the first time--Squidbillies. Mostly we talk about other stuff though because this was 22 total minutes of television. So a huge chunk of this is about Kermit the Frog.
Ian's international tour takes us to South Korea, where the historical/medical drama 대장금 (Dae Jang Geum), a.k.a. Jewel in the Palace, was a massive hit and helped kickstart Korea's entertainment industry explosion internationally.
