Everything is on Fire...but Sugar We're Going Down Swinging

from Assume It Will Be Brilliant · host Assume It Will Be Brillant

In this episode, Portia and Nomsa say goodbye as Season Five of the podcast comes to an end. From the surprise success of "Paradise" to the gripping themes in "The Bear," in a lively discussion they reflect on the season's highlights and share their thoughts on all the shows they wish they could have discussed with you this year. These include HBO MAX's riveting medical drama 'The Pit', Apple TV's Seth Rogen led satrical comedy 'The Studio', the second season of the ever popular video game based 'The Last of Us', and just to sprinkle in a little reality mess...Netflix's 'The Ultimatum Queer Love'. They share their insights on the realism of medical dramas, the humor in comedies, and the emotional depth of post-apocalyptic narratives, while also leaving room to critique the current state of their podcasting inspiration, the long-running Shonda Rhimes offering 'Grey's Anatomy'.00:00 Season Five Reflections04:28 Exploring 'The Pit' 12:35 'The Studio' on Apple TV 19:49 'The Last of Us' Season Two26:44 Reality TV: 'The Ultimatum Queer Love' Discussion32:46 Final Thoughts on 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 21#TheLastOfUs #ParadiseShow #TheBear #ThePit #TheStudio #UltimatumQueerLove #FourSeasonsShow #GreysAnatomyIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
