Dan Fienberg, TV critic from The Hollywood Reporter and The Fien Print, joins Nick to talk about two Disney+ documentaries: “Jim Henson: Idea Man” and “The Beach Boys” (which leads to a conversation about Nick’s obsession with the movie “Congo!”), the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” with Jake Gyllenhaal is discussed, as is the return of one of the best shows on television: “Evil” on Paramount+. They also preview the ATX TV Festival in Austin, and have some fun with how much Dan hates Elmo. Then, Esmeralda Leon and Nick talk about the movie “Garfield,” which leads to a detailed and hilarious discussion about the TV show “Dilbert” and the UPN television network and their insane shows like “Shasta McNasty,” “Homeboys From Outer Space,” and more….including a wacky sitcom about a kooky slave hanging out with a goofy Abraham Lincoln (it’s a real show…look it up), and the Thailand taste-testing continues.
