The TV Dudes A Weekly TV Podcast Discussion

This week, we're in for some Strange Encounters! It might be ghosts from the world beyond in Amazon Prime's 'Truth Seekers', alien threats and monsters in the second season of Disney+'s 'The Mandalorian', or some familiar and not-so-familiar faces in CBS All Access's 'Star Trek: Discovery'. Or maybe some strange corners of the United States from a strange viewpoint in the two Borat movies, currently on Prime.

Truth Seekers (Prime)

22:50-40:18
The Mandalorian (Disney+)

40:35-1:02:49

This week, we take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to bring you Les' recap of Austin Film Festival 2020. It was (like all the cool gatherings in 2020) a virtual festival, and Les and Randy discuss the pros and cons of that setup, how AFF made the most of it, and what Les saw and loved about this year's fest. Check it out!

As we record this, we're a little under a week out from a pretty big election. And elections are about hope, and so is this week's selection of TV and other streaming content. The question of whether the Federation can return in a galaxy without hope in 'Star Trek Discovery' on CBS All Access. A reminder of the hope that was Aaron Sorkin's stock in trade, on a 'West Wing Special' on HBO Max and a new movie, 'Trial of the Chicago 7', on NETFLIX. And the reminder that hope can mean competing idealism and atrocities in the name of idealism as we talk about the second half of Amazon Prime's 'Utopia'.

VOTE AGAINST HATE. 

16:04-36:26 Star Trek Discovery (CBS All-Access)
36:26-47:44 A West Wing Special (HBO Max)
47:44-56:08 Trial of the Chicago 7 (NETFLIX)
