Margaret choosing blindness while watching Love is Blind
In today's episode, we talk, of course, about Netflix's terrible, wonderful new reality TV show Love Is Blind because Margaret's brainworms demanded it, and Andrew indulgently complied. THEN, we move on to discuss the unusual-- and excellent-- standalone episode of Apple TV+'s new video game development sitcom, Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet (aka Mythic Raven: Banquet Quest) and how different kinds of standalone episodes function narratively within the runs of their respective shows. For, as Andrew points out, the absolute, first-ever time.
Kathryn had, predictably, written a number of great pieces on all of the above subjects for Vulture. Please enjoy her essays on:
- on the gorgeous-- perhaps un-replicable-- messiness of this first season of Love Is Blind
- the questionable hosting levels of Obviously, Nick Lachey and his wife Vanessa, who looks like she was famous before she was her wife, but for what, we will never recall nor research.
- and, last but not least, standalone episodes within the runs of High Fidelity and Mythic Banquet: Questlove's Raven
And, for the true diehards: when Craig claimed our wheels were up and when our wheels were, in fact, up.
