How 'Barry' Features Others, What's To Like About 'Love & Death,' and Outrageousness in 'Somebody Somewhere'

We begin with a few brief thoughts on the writers' strike and what that may mean for television: just look at past strikes (1:36). Then, it's the fourth episode of the fourth and final season of Barry, which allows for a lot of its characters not only to carry the episode but also tell large parts of their story (6:36). A listener gets a shoutout and thanks (17:50) before we give the hosts their hellos (18:27). After a break: a discussion on what's working very well for Love & Death on HBO Max (20:07). Finally, we get incredibly tickled on the outrageousness of the second episode of this season of Somebody Somewhere -- unless you watched, it may not be what you expect (35:17).
