Join us as we weigh in on the New York Times’ 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century list and lovingly, or aggressively, side-eye its most overrated picks and biggest snubs. Plus, we celebrate the predictable box-office flop of Tom Cruise’s new movie Digger, and discuss whether Anne Hathaway’s recent film run has officially earned her Hollywood’s Championship Belt.
