This week we're talking about surprises! Whether it's discovering that Apple+ has a bonafide great show in 'Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet', learning that the CW is not a great place for the bawdy Brit-com of 'Dead Pixels', the shocking finale of 'Teenage Bounty Hunters' on Netflix, the many surprises of 'Lovecraft Country' episode two on HBO, or the biggest shock of all: our reaction to 'Carole & Tuesday'!
This week we've got stories of people out of place. Whether it's the protagonists facing the horrors of racism (and Elder Gods) on 'Lovecraft Country' on HBO Max, wrestlers facing their demons on 'Dark Side of the Ring', the titular 'Teenage Bounty Hunters' of NETFLIX, the scrappy ensigns of 'Lower Decks' on CBS All-Access, or a coach on the wrong side of the pond on Apple+'s 'Ted Lasso', we're talking about a lot of characters on the wrong side of their comfort zones. Check it out!
This week, new TV has let us down, so we're diving back into the bag for some old business! We're talking 'Jett' on CINEMAX, the finale of 'Stargirl', and season five of 'Better Call Saul' on AMC! And since it's a shorter episode this week, we're also including as a bonus the first fifteen minutes of this week's 45 minute tribute to Keanu Reeves from the Patreon episode!
This week, Les chats with Bethany Antonia! Bethany is a scene stealer as Margot, a shy new student and the brains behind a high-school-revenge scheme in the new Netflix series 'Get Even'. We discuss the path she took to her career, what she loves about her work, and more! Check it out!
It is a momentous episode for the TV Dudes as Les discovers that he likes anime now! Well, at least one anime, as we talk about 'Transformers: War for Cybertron' on NETFLIX. We're also checking in on 'Umbrella Academy' Season 2 on NETFLIX and the latest iteration of the Muppets on Disney+.

Did y'all know there's a new streaming network? And '30 Rock' is back? Somehow neither of those things are great news! We also have our first look at 'Kill La Kill' for our Patron Mandy, and... it's anime, and we have thoughts. Also, as a bonus, we've got the first 25 minutes of our Patreon exclusive episode talking about 'Fate of the Furious' tagged onto the end of the episode!
It's a very special TV Dudes episode! We're a little over halfway through 2020, and we've hit our hundredth show watched this year, which means updated Power Rankings! That show?

We've got a mixtape of shows this week! Charles Armstrong took advantage of our Showrunner level Patreon, which means he gets to pick another show for us to discuss, and that show is NETFLIX's 'Hip-Hop Evolution'! Which pairs nicely with the 'Beastie Boys Story' on Apple+. We're sticking to reality shows in talking about 'Taste the Nation' and 'Top Chef' on HULU, with a sidestep into Britishness with 'Travel Man', before we stop back in the world of fiction with the second season of NETFLIX's 'T...

Before we get started this week, we want to let y'all know that while yes, we're an escapist podcast about teevee, we're all very aware of what's going on in the world. We encourage you if you have the means to donate to Black Lives Matter, the ACLU Civil Liberties Fund, or another fund that will help move us all forward. Warner Brothers dropped a whole new streaming service on us, HBO Max, and we're gonna talk about that, their new 'Looney Tunes' episodes, as well as their main original so far,...
We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring your attention to #blacklivesmatter. Racism is deeply embedded in our society and we want to promote a couple ways you can help address the inequities of Black people. First, the ACLU Civil Liberties Fund. The ACLU Racial Justice Program aims to preserve and extend constitutionally guaranteed rights to people who have historically been denied their rights on the basis of race. You can learn more and/or donate at https://www.aclu.org/issues/ra...

Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy? It's a bit of both this week, as we talk about the new comedy based partially on Mindy Kaling's life, 'Never Have I Ever' on NETFLIX, Ryan Murphy's tale of an alternative 'Hollywood', also on NETFLIX, and another harrowing novel adaptation from HBO with 'I Know This Much is True'. We'll also check in on Quibi Quorner for the latest!
This week, Randy, Kyle and Les talk about tech failures and best-laid-plans... the time-travelling problems of 'Future Man', the pacing issues of 'Tales From the Loop', the comedy/mystery balance of 'Upload', and the season 3 ending for 'Westworld'.

There's 'Little Fires Everywhere', a '90s drama based on the novel by Celeste Ng, 'Motherland: Fort Salem', a Freeform series about military teen witches with plenty of teen drama, and 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventures', a dramatic exploration of class warfare and also zombies, vampires, and martial arts.
