The TV Dudes A Weekly TV Podcast Discussion

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)
56:08-1:10:35 Utopia (PRIME)

This week, we gear up for Halloween with an interview from the MCU... June Carryl plays Dr. Louise Hastings in Hulu's new Marvel horror series, 'Helstrom'. We talk about getting scared on set, watching horror in a horrifying world, what she loves about her role, and much more. 'Helstrom' is available on Hulu October 16th.

No, it's not sci-fi from Nacho Vigalondo, but it is an episode about crimes in multiple times! You can go forward with the super-powered psychopaths in The Boys on Prime, the taxi cops and crooks of Big Dogs, also on Prime, or the rule-breakers of the 24th century in Star Trek Lower Decks on CBS All Access. Or you can go back to the '50s with Fargo on FX or even further back to the Tulsa Massacre on Lovecraft Country on HBO.

The world is full of mysteries and intrigue. Whether it's the crazy apocalyptic goings-on of 'Utopia' on Prime, the tense espionage of 'Tehran' on Apple+, the by-the-numbers conspiracy of 'Departure', this week we are all about double-dealing and machinations! Then of course we've got our thoughts on two of our favorite shows of the year, with the finale of 'Ted Lasso' on Apple+ and the latest episode of 'Lovecraft Country' on HBO!
