How Apple TV (Ted) Lassoed a Record Number of Emmy Nominations
Apple TV netted a personal best 89 nominations and is the third-most-nominated network at this year's Emmy Awards (behind awards behemoths Netflix and HBO).

VF Special Correspondent Joy Press joins Rebecca and John to dig into the streamer's early fumbles and current hits, and make sense of why a huge tech company is willing to lose so much money making prestige television. Plus, they dig into the Emmys' controversial decision to bump 5 categories from the primetime telecast and the twin Odysseys of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster box office and the WBD/Paramount merger.
