It’s TCAs time again, plus Twitter was particularly extra this week, so there’s plenty to talk about this episode of the podcast. Noel and Kate kick things off with a news roundup, then head to Our Week in TV, including another delightful The Amber Ruffin Show, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, more RuPaul’s Drag Race chat, the much-buzzed about #FreeBritney documentary on The New York Times Presents, the premiere of Black Lightning, and a Family Ties-themed WandaVision. Afterward, we head to the DVD Shelf and dive in with Mangrove, the first installment of Steve McQueen’s anthology film series Small Axe, which follows the trial of the Mangrove Nine. Tune in for our thoughts, then reach out with your take on the week’s TV, news, and more.
Errata: When discussing WandaVision, Kate refers to Monica Rambeau as Maria, which is her mother’s name. The Televerse regrets the error.
