It’s Make-You-Watchathon time! Noel and Kate ring out the end of the ninth year of the podcast with our annual tradition, with each host picking a show to make the other watch. This year, Kate picked season one of the 2000s Channel 4 favorite Peep Show and Noel picked last year’s The Promised Neverland. Before that, though, there’s a full week in TV to discuss. We kick things off with the dramatic conclusion of Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020, both the final event and the closing ceremonies. Then Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is back, Noel introduces the Netflix con anime Great Pretender, Kate checks in with Wynonna Earp, and Noel catches up with Infinity Train Book 3: Cult of the Conductor. We round out the week with the premiere of HBO’s Lovecraft Country, before heading over to the Make-You-Watchathon. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on the week’s TV, Peep Show and The Promised Neverland, our Lucifer season five journey over at Streaming In Place, or anything else.
Thank you to everyone who’s been along for the ride with the podcast these past nine years!
