This week we talk about the first 2 episodes of Ted Lasso’s latest season, the first Foundation novel and a bit about our hopes / expectations for the Apple TV+ series, Schmigadoon!, The Pacific, Zola, and Shadow and Bone.

Check out the podcast to hear our non-spoiler review and trailer talk and then, if you’re a club member or patron, stick around for the full spoiler review.
It has been another few months since A.Ron and I last dipped our toe into the HBO news stream and Anthony is between seasons of Electric Bookaloo.

This is in the running for the worst podcast Bald Move has ever released. One of us was feeling what this movie was doing. The other, not so much.
