'Ted Lasso' Improves and 'Lanterns' Make a Launch

from Taking It Down

In this week's episode, Blaine gives a welcome, overview, and announcement on how you can get involved for the upcoming 300th episode by sending in a question or comment (0:02). Once all the hosts are present, they discuss why the return of 'Chad Powers' makes them excited (1:01). Also in non-spoilers, Blaine and Donovan explain why 'Furious' on Hulu is worth the time (3:04) as well as 'Ted Lasso' and its improvements (6:11) and the mixed reaction of HBO's 'Lanterns' (10:33). In spoilers, the guys detail how 'Ted Lasso' finally improved in its third episode, though not without faults (14:38) and provide examples why one of them is hesitant while the other is not on the new HBO drama 'Lanterns' (32:10).
