Extra Hot Great: This Week In TV

612: Sitting Center Court For Running Point

Episode Description from the Publisher

Krystal Farmer helps us keep turning EHG into a hoops pod by coming back to talk about Running Point's second season: why it works, what it (perhaps wisely?) hand-waves, whose idea it was to cast such short kings as NBA players, and whether a certain former WB heartthrob is getting a back-door NHL pilot. We went Around The Dial with Call The Midwife, a Jerry West documentary, and Killing Grounds: The Gilgo Beach Murders before Julie did a song-and-dance routine on behalf of a final-season Mad Men episode for the Canon. Good reporting won, a bad Housewife lost, and Game Time once again asked us to guess the horny hearts of the average IMDb user. Was there a buzzer-beater? You'll have to listen to find out.GUESTS👤 Krystal FarmerTOPICSLead Topic: 🏀 Running PointAround The Dial: 🍼 Call The MidwifeAround The Dial: ⛹🏻‍♂️ Jerry West: The LogoAround The Dial: 🏖️ Killing Grounds: The Gilgo Beach MurdersThe Canon: 👨‍🚀 Mad Men S07.E07: WaterlooWinner & Loser: 😵‍💫 Tessa StuartWinner & Loser: 🥒 Jill ZarinGame Time: 🤩 TV Popularity Contest IIISUPPORT THE SHOW🔥 Join the EHG Club for bonus episodes, no ads, community Discord and more!🎧 Subscribe to EHG on Apple Podcasts for bonus episodes and no ads!🛍️ Shop our merch store!NOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site🪙 Krystal Farmer's Two Cents Plus Tax podcast🦋 Krystal on Bluesky⛹🏽‍♀️ The WNBA🏀 Our discussion of Running Point in EHG 552🌮 Tara's Rockford Files manifesto at Defector🐶 How to help Forte Animal Rescue🏖️ Sarah's Killing Grounds review at Best Evidence📷 Photo: Katrina Marcinowski / Netflix
