Last week we talked fake reboot, this week we dive into a sequel/reboot and a prequel!
Quantum leap is a reboot of the classic 1980s show that also serves as a sequel show. Steve and Chris dive in with our limited knowledge of the original and discuss the format, the tropes and whether it's got us hooked.
Andor is a prequel to the film Star Wars: Rogue One. We discuss a little bit of Star Wars overload, and whether the moody drama drew us in. We also discuss multi episode premieres and whether they need to be judged as a whole.
We also do some fun crossovers and pitch the next quantum leap.
No, we're sorry they are not rebooting Star Wars: Episode One the Phantom Menace.
But they are rebooting yours, mine and everyone's favorite sitcom, Step Right Up!
Wait, I'm being told that wasn't a real sitcom?
I don't care, I'm here for it, Staring Rachel Bloom, Keegan Michael-Key, Judy Greer, Johnny Knoxville and Paul Reiser, the new Hulu show Reboot is a blast!
We have Screeners! Thank you Hulu for giving us access to Tell Me Lies so we can bring it to the audience on release day!
We've done a few shoes, many of them Hulu in this vein. Based off a book (Little Fire Everywhere, Nine Perfect Strangers) Toxic Relationship (Cruel Summer), Horny (Normal People). It's great to do a show that combines elements of most of our most popular episodes!
We're here to watch with you, discuss Tell Me Lies, what hooked us, what didn't work, and of course whether we're watching more.
Let us know what you thought of Tell Me Lies (episodeonepod@gmail.com)
A couple firsts in this episode. First a show Steve hasn't watched, and second a british show that is exclusive to Hulu and Star+
Can Chris convince Steve to watch Wedding Season, without giving away the episode 1 twist?
