634: Pressing Our Luck With American Horror Story

We were counting on The Hollywood Reporter’s chief television critic Dan Fienberg to help us diagnose the issues with the thirteenth season of American Horror Story, and luckily he came through in a discussion that covered excessive fan service, when the “ew” and the “…huh” don’t balance each other, and the sin of wasting John Waters. We went Around The Dial with the new A Different World, My Brilliant Career, and American Hostage before Seth served up a Canon pitch for Hannibal‘s second-season finale. Mary Poppins won, Brandi Glanville lost, and we didn’t wait ’til the middle of the night to step on a Lego-based Game Time. Grab a handful of swabs and have a listen!GUESTS👤 Daniel FienbergTOPICSAnnouncement: 🔥 Club Stickers!Lead Topic: 🇺🇸 American Horror Story Around The Dial: 🌎 A Different World Around The Dial: 🧟‍♀️ Women In Horror TVAround The Dial: 👔 My Brilliant Career Around The Dial: 😓 American Hostage The Canon: 🍱 Hannibal S02.E13: MizumonoWinner & Loser: ☂️ Mary Poppins Winner & Loser: 💥 Brandi GlanvilleGame Time: 🧱 Lego My Game TimeSUPPORT 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📊 EHG Club Sticker Poll📰 Subscribe to Dan's THR newsletter, Now See This🦋 Dan Fienberg on Bluesky🤩 And at The Hollywood Reporter...🔫 ...including his review of American Hostage🇺🇸 Sarah's review of American Hostage for Best Evidence🔥 Extra Hot Great Club🏦 Ask Sarah about the Mutual Aid Vault🪓 Angie Han's Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story review at The Hollywood Reporter🌴 Again With Again With This📷 Photo: Eric Liebowitz / FXCLUB-ONLY NOTES🔥 EHG Club Perk Links & How-To💬 Get On Our Community Discord
