The TV Dudes Podcast
This week, The TV Dudes descend into the sewers of Derry to talk about HBO’s It: Welcome to Derry!

CHAD POWERS (Hulu)
The TV Dudes Podcast
This week, The TV Dudes dive into Chad Powers on Hulu - a comedy we mostly liked (even if we’ve got quite a few notes). Then we wrap up our time in the blood-soaked halls of Godolkin University with the Gen V season finale... which didn’t quite stick the landing. Listen in as we talk highs, lows, and why tone and story matter whether you’re working with satire, superheroes, or a bunch of facial prosthetics. 1:45-41:30 TV Diaries 13:25-41:30 Gen V finale 41:30-Chad Powers

BLACK RABBIT (Netflix)
The TV Dudes Podcast
This week on The TV Dudes we’re talking Black Rabbit, Netflix’s new dark thriller starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law. It’s a slow-burn story of brothers, secrets, and bad decisions that drips with atmosphere and moral grime - but does it deliver on its noir promise or just mope in the murk? We dig into the tone, pacing, and performances to find out. 1:50-55:45 TV Diaries 12:45-28:25 Gen V 28:25-55:45 Peacemaker S02 Finale 55:45-Black Rabbit

Screen.Write.Repeat – Pilot, Part 2
The TV Dudes Podcast
In Part 2 of our debut episode, we keep the fun going with more story discussion and breakdown as we push toward a spec script we can be proud of. It’s Marvin's writers’ room experiment—and Les and Nick are right in the mix!
info_outlineThis is a Game, Kyle! Specifically, it's our semi-annual game show and late night episode, a favorite of Kyle, who watches a lot more of that kind of thing than Les and Randy do in general. But this time out, there are a couple shows that have hit our regular rotation, including The Hustler and The Chase on HULU, and of course we're all happy to see the return of Last Week Tonight over on HBO!
