This week, Todd & Preston improvise with part 1 of their third Drive-Time Chat episode, where the car ride is imaginary, but the conversation is real.
Check out the topics covered by Todd & Preston in this installment...
- Reasons for the writer & actor strikes
- Examples of actors’ struggles from wrestling and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”
- Movies & TV shows delayed by the strikes
- An “Ocean’s Eleven” prequel TV show Todd didn’t even know about
- Frustration with TV shows nowadays not being like how TV used to be
- Whether all shows need as much super high production quality that they get now — making some shows cost too much time & money to operate like shows from the past
- Syfy’s “The Ark” as an example of an allegedly cheaper show that is still enjoyable for stories and characters
- How easy or hard is it for sci-fi and fantasy to pull off good shows with cheap effects
- Whether productions should utilize dead malls as shooting locations
- Todd making a post-Dragon Con pit stop, in 2019, at a mall in Georgia used as Starcourt Mall in season 3 of “Stranger Things”
- Todd and Preston’s disappointment over a few specific shows being delayed by the strikes: “The Rookie” season 6, “The Penguin” season 1, “Ghosts” season 3, and “The Boys” season 4.
- Disney+’s latest MCU show, “Secret Invasion”
- Preston’s recommendation of “Bluey” (which Dave S. has also recommended in the past)
- Todd’s quick non-spoiler summaries of “Outlander” season 7 so far, “The Blacklist” recent series finale (after 10 seasons), and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season 2 so far
- Preston’s quick summary of “The Witcher” season 3 so far
- Preston’s description of what “The Righteous Gemstones” (currently in season 3) is all about
- Preston’s recommendation of “The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs”
- Todd’s recent rewatch of Grimm, including his non-spoiler review of the series finale and then — after the outro music — some spoiler talk about one major character
