The latest episode of Geektown Radio is an absolute must-listen for any TV fan looking to catch up on the best and most buzzworthy shows right now. Host Dave is joined by the returning Gray for a jam-packed hour of TV reviews, streaming gripes, Easter holiday watchathons, and a deep dive into one of the most shocking moments on TV this year.
What’s On Their Watchlist?
After a well-earned Easter break, Gray returns with a binge-fueled list that includes:
-
Hacks – Season 3 kicks off with a bang. Gray’s already gripped.
-
The Last of Us – Even one episode in, the tension is real.
-
Doctor Who – Dave finds the second episode far more engaging, and Gray especially the storyline with Mrs. Flood.
-
Black Mirror – The duo dive into the experimental brilliance of the new season, including the Bête Noire episode’s sneaky twist: did you see “Bernies” or “Barnies”?
Dave adds his own glowing take on Black Mirror, calling the Paul Giamatti-led episode “Eulogy” one of the most moving and powerful stories the series has ever done. And don’t miss his take on the USS Callister sequel and Playtest, which marks a triumphant return to classic Black Mirror storytelling.
9-1-1 Shock Death Breakdown (Spoiler Warning!)
The Geektown crew tackles the stunning plot twist in the latest episode of 9-1-1… and yes, it’s THAT character. They reflect on why it worked narratively, what it means for the rest of the season, and speculate wildly (in the best way) about who could take over the firehouse.
