As we nudge ever closer to Spring, on this week’s show we not only have a bunch of renewal information for various tv shows, plus all the usual tv news, and an interview with composer Sage Lewis, who scored the film Operator, which you can watch right now on Netflix UK!

Operator, which was one of Indiewire’s 7 Hidden Gems of SXSW last year, is a dark comedy about love and technology, with Indiewire highlighting it as a “an ideal humorous mixture of contemporary challenges and intimate conundrums that fit right in at SXSW.” It stars Martin Starr from Silicon Valley, and sees him play a programmer, who uses his wife’s (Mae Whitman) for his company’s customer service app. However, trouble starts to arise, when he starts to rely more on the digital version of his wife, than his flesh & blood, actual wife…
