Making A Break For It With Escape At Dannemora
Extra Hot Great is moving to its own home at www.ExtraHotGreat.com moving forward. Please visit and bookmark us! Your podcast app RSS feed should be fine as is but if you have any issues, the new RSS info is on the new site as well. Resident upstate...er, resident Kim Reed is back to talk about Ben Stiller-directed drama/thriller/Shawshank aspirant Escape At Dannemora. We discuss everything from… → Read More
Nailed Them
Nailed It has delighted a nation by gently roasting complicated baking fails. Surely there are other exacting hobbies that could get mangled on TV for our entertainment? We're suggesting other pursuits amateurs could (poorly) attempt and the hosts to guide them gently through them in this Mini! → Read More

Billy, Don't Be Appläro
A trip to Ikea can be torture for two people who know each other very well and may have even pledged before witnesses to love each other until they die. How would it go for two TV characters who end up lost among the flat packs? We're each choosing characters to send to Ikea, and imagining how the ordeal would end for them, in this Mini! → Read More
Casting The 'Cast
Tired: watching TV characters on TV formats that require the use of multiple senses. Wired: putting them on podcasts so we only need to use our ears. Imagine if two or more characters from different shows somehow meet, find some common ground, and decide to get together and make a podcast about it. Which characters do we think should undertake such a project, and what's the topic they choose to… → Read More
Book Buddies
Some people don't spend all their time watching and thinking about TV: they also find time to read books! With that in mind...we're picking the TV characters we'd each invite to our book clubs -- and not only that: we're also picking the title and writing up the snack menu. → Read More
Theme Song Slaughter
@DonaldAmes on Twitter wondered which TV theme songs we'd like to see undergo the same treatment "Thus Spake Zarathustra" gets upon a successful Nonac submission. When we stopped giggling, we picked some candidates with the help of the great YouTube channel ShittyFlute. → Read More
Rippon Yarns
Although we didn't all agree that Adam Rippon should be on a TV show without proving himself first, we had some pretty good ideas for where the Olympian might fit in best on the dial. Look out, Manhattan Special Victims. → Read More
The Death Of Natalie Wood: American Crime Story
As the case opens again, so does our Casting Lab. → Read More
A Monster Calls
For her Extra Credit, Erica asked us to pick a realistic TV show, past or present, and turn one of its characters into a supernatural entity. What would the pros and cons of such a change be? And what IS Sarah Bunting doing here? → Read More
Ru The Day
RuPaul is everywhere of late -- as a celebrity guest on Hollywood Game Night, as a haughty maitre d' on Broad City, hosting the just-started third installment of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, and at some point this season, judging on Project Runway All Stars. The panel is casting him (and her) in their next two gigs. → Read More
Taking It One Day At A Time
Kim Reed on the Netflix remake's second season, plus Call The Midwife and a Tara-led Game Time! → Read More
Diversiteen
As mentioned on the main podcast this week, Freeform has ordered a reboot of Party Of Five, about kids technically orphaned when their undocumented Mexican parents are deported. Reboot another whitey-white teen drama, and make it more compelling by changing its protagonists' race. How else does it change? → Read More

On The Money
The topic of which famous faces deserve to be immortalized on legal tender is a fraught one, but why focus on notable figures from history when we could be looking at our small screens? In this Mini, we're each choosing which TV characters or personalities should make it onto money, and what memorable scenes should be commemorated on the back! → Read More
Now Boarding L.A. To Vegas
Frequent flyer Adam Grosswirth joins us to chat about Fox's new airline sitcom! → Read More
Networkworth
Dave asked us to rank a list of networks from least to most essential. The networks included -- and our varying rationales for putting Hulu where we did -- might surprise you! That CBS performs poorly will probably not. → Read More
The East Wing
Sarah D. Bunting wanted an American First Lady to get the The Crown treatment. Which one? Why? Who plays her, and a handful of others around her (her husband, the cabinet, generals, etc.)? Featuring some interesting historical context from Dave based on quotes, and competing castings of Betty Ford! → Read More
