262: Burying Four Weddings And A Funeral

Noted romcom fan Mindy Kaling has been tasked by Hulu to bring the world a series adaptation of the 1994 feature film Four Weddings And A Funeral, and noted romcom fan Linda Holmes is joining us to talk about whether this ever should have happened! Around The Dial has us discussing HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show, the series finale of Jane The Virgin, and the end (we hope) of Big Little Lies. Linda makes the case for the induction of The Good Place's "Dance Dance Resolution" into the Canon; then after naming the week's Winner(s) and Loser, we move on to a Game Time that soars. Get out of the rain (or hadn't you noticed?) and join us!GUESTS👤 Linda HolmesTOPICSLead Topic: ⚰️ Four Weddings And A Funeral Around The Dial: ✍️ A Black Lady Sketch Show Around The Dial: 👧🏻 Jane The Virgin Around The Dial: 🤥 Big Little Lies The Canon: 🏆 The Good Place S02.E02: Dance Dance ResolutionWinner & Loser: 👍 Nico Tortorella (and Auli'i Cravalho)Winner & Loser: 👎 Gabrielle CarterisGame Time: 🧠 Pilot TestNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 262 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 Linda Holmes on Twitter⚰️ Linda's review of Four Weddings And A Funeral at NPR.org🤼‍♀️ Vulture's coverage of GLOW🎙 The Sweet Smell Of Succession podcast🏝 The Again With This podcast🦞 Linda's book, Evvie Drake Starts Over🍸 Pop Culture Happy Hour🎙 Linda on The Maris Review podcast🎯 Linda on Bullseye⚾️ Linda on the Effectively Wild podcast🚀 The Quaid In Full podcast on Twitter👵🏻 The Gabrielle Carteris tag on Deadline.com
