304: Solving The Mystery Of Homecoming's Second Season

We're welcoming Vanity Fair TV critic Sonia Soraiya to the guest chair to talk about the shorter, neater, Julia-Roberts-less-but-still-better second season of Amazon's Homecoming -- from sensible episode lengths to overacting extras to how TV has conditioned us to react to mystery shows. We went Around The Dial with Mrs. America, Run, Nadiya's Time To Eat, and a rare successful Zoom episode from Mystic Quest, before listener John rolled a 20-sided die on getting Community's D&D episode into the Canon. Vampires won, Skeet Ulrich lost, and one was the winningest number in a Pointless-inspired Game Time. Slap on a fake tattoo before you forget, and join us for an all-new Extra Hot Great!GUESTS👤 Sonia SaraiyaTOPICSLead Topic: 🫐 Homecoming Around The Dial: 🙋‍♀️ Mrs. America Around The Dial: 🚆 Run Around The Dial: 🍽 Nadiya's Time To Eat Around The Dial: 🎮 Mythic Quest The Canon: 🎲 Community Winner & Loser: 👍 What We Do In The Shadows Winner & Loser: 👎 Riverdale Skeet UlrichGame Time: 🧠 Lowest Of The LowNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 304 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🐦 Sonia Saraiya on Twitter🙋‍♀️ Sonia's Mrs. America review at VanityFair.com🫐 Tara's Homecoming review at Primetimer💻 Sonia at VanityFair.com🎧 The Mark And Sarah Talk About Songs podcast🤔 The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show podcast
