Episode notes
This week, we reside in Paris, France and it’s our annual Fall TV preview! Louis, Karen and Alonso give us the lowdown on all the new shows they’re excited about (Star Trek: Discovery, Will & Grace, 9JKL, 90’s House), the shows they don’t really want to see (Young Sheldon, Dynasty), and returning faves (The Good Wife, Grey’s Anatomy, American Housewife, This Is Us).
Plus, Margaret Wappler calls in to tell us about the pop culture she’s been taking in since she’s become a mom (hey Silas!) Alonso can’t stop talking about “Ex Libris” Karen is all about the sapphic/sapphic-adjacent content on the Emmy’s, and Louis reads a bit of Olivia de Havilland’s letter to Ryan Murphy
That’s My Jam:
Karen Tongson – The Carpenters – Maybe It’s You
Alonso Duralde – Liza Minnelli – Don’t Drop Bombs
Louis Virtel – The Dixie Chicks – Don’t Let Me Die in Florida
Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
You can let us know what you think of Pop Rocket and suggest topics in our Facebook group or via @PopRocket on Twitter.
