493: Recording Our Thoughts On Criminal Record

AppleTV+'s latest very polished drama, Criminal Record, is about race and corruption in London's Metropolitan police force; Brandi Brown takes a break from cozy mysteries to discuss whether this copperganda is worth watching. Around The Dial takes us through Grimsburg, Julia, The Gilded Age (including a Tiny Triumph from Brandi), Break Point, and The Bob Newhart Show. Past guest Ilan pitches Shoresy's "Players Wanted" for induction into The Canon. Then after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time about screens big and small. Make yourself a nice cup of tea and join us!GUESTS👤 Brandi BrownTOPICSAnnouncement: 📢 Club Campaign UpdateLead Topic: 💂🏻 Criminal RecordAround The Dial: 🤷‍♂️ GrimsburgAround The Dial: 🥖 JuliaAround The Dial: 🎭 The Gilded AgeAround The Dial: 🎾 Break PointAround The Dial: 🛋️ The Bob Newhart ShowThe Canon: 🏒 Shoresy S02.E04: Players OnlyWinner & Loser: 👍 Jeremy Allen WhiteWinner & Loser: 👎 Pat McAfeeGame Time: 🎬 Small Silver ScreenSUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 493 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🌤️ Brandi Brown on Bluesky📸 Brandi on Instagram🤷‍♂️ Tara's review of Grimsburg at Cracked.com🥇 Tara's interview with Shea Serrano at Cracked.com🎟️ Buy tickets to see Brandi Brown with headliner River Butcher at Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis February 7-10🎙️ Comedy Night at The Mudd Room in Mendota, MN, where you can see Brandi on February 14🕵🏻‍♂️ The Best Evidence newsletter📷 Photo: AppleTV+
