This week we're going with a little bit of "Now and Then". No not that movie (love you Christina Ricci). We're doing 2 reboots/sequel series and a sort of satire/parody/reimagining?
iCarly is back! (26:00) originally a mid aughts nickelodeon show, it gets the reboot treatment that Hilary Duff failed to get with Lizzie McGuire. Does it succeed, or do we find out why the Lizzie show never happened?
Gossip Girl is back! (47:50) Does it live up to the original? Does it fulfill Steve's cravings for another pretty little liars? Does it inspire Chris to finally finish the original series? Is it still relevant today?
Kevin can F**k himself (4:20) Not so much a now and then, but an inventive dark comedy that takes some influence from the various tropes in Kevin James sitcoms (Kevin can Wait, King of Queens) and some similar sitcoms. It's great and we could have spent an hour talking about it. Just go watch it.
All this and 30 second pitches, cross overs and a long long pod!!!
