Episode notes
The autumn TV season has officially begun, and let’s be honest, there is TOO MUCH stuff to watch out there. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, fear not. The Pop Rocket panel has lots of binge-worthy shows to recommend, and a couple new shows they think you should skip.
One panelist will tell you why they loved Netflix’s Maniac, and another who couldn’t make it through the season. If you’re curious whether Amazon Prime’s The First is worth your time, Tongson’s got some opinions. They’ll cover Bojack Horseman, National Treasure, Ozark, The Sinner and more.
All Abouts
Wynter is all about the tea behind Kevin Systrom, CEO and co-founder of Instagram, departing Facebook, which bought the photo-sharing app six years ago.
Karen is all about basketball legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s latest gig: staff writer on the new Veronica Mars.
Guy is all about the new Netflix romcom Nappily Ever After starring Sanaa Lathan.
That’s My Jam
Karen – SWV (Sisters with Voices) – Right Here
Guy – Troye Sivan – Seventeen.
With Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, and Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh.
