If you don’t know Cape Fear, every generation seems to get its own version. A dangerous man strolls into town looking for revenge. In 1962, it was Robert Mitchum. In 1991, it was Robert De Niro. And in 2026, Robert Pattinson... jk, Javier Bardem takes the reins as the next grim reaper.
With Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg executive producing, this version takes the classic story, fleshes it out, blows it up, while also filtering it through a modern thermal lens. Warning, if you're not a horror junkie some of these scenes are a bit hard to stomach... 
On the podcast, we break down the first two episodes, make our comparisons, talk pros, cons, stray thoughts, and give our rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode!

NSFW is Mindy Kaling’s newest offering to the TV gods. This workplace-hallmate-coming-of-age sitcom takes place in the Big Apple among a group of five soon-to-be friends as they navigate their careers and feelings toward one another.

Apple TV’s Star City sends us behind the Iron Curtain of the For All Mankind universe first introduced to us in 2019. Revisiting the space race from the Soviet point of view, the two-episode premiere, “The Eyes” and “A Bear on a Chain,” returns the story to its roots. With Sergei Korolev surviving, Alexei Leonov beating Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon, and Anastasia Belikova becoming the first woman on the lunar surface, Star City brings us back to the moment this alternate timeline truly began.
In this podcast, we discuss whether this spin-off can match the wonder of For All Mankind, how it compares to other Soviet-themed shows like Chernobyl and The Americans, and films like The Lives of Others. We dissect the plot, favorite and least favorite moments, whether it met our expectations, and more. Welcome to Today’s Episode.

This wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026. The first live-action Spider-Man TV series since the 1970s stars 62-year-old Nicolas Cage in 1930s New York, doing a Humphrey Bogart impression. The show is available in both black-and-white and color, and it kicks off with “Step Into My Office,” introducing Ben Reilly as a down-on-his-luck private investigator who has retired his superhero identity, The Spider, after his fiancée’s passing. Naturally, the series doesn’t plan on letting him stay retired for long. On the podcast, we break down the pilot, discuss our favorite and least favorite parts, decide whether black-and-white or color is the way to go, and land on our ultimate rating. Tune in.
