What makes good television? Is there a political component to disliking The Last Jedi? Is liking La La Land over The Greatest Showman a "movie person" thing to do, with mainstream audiences more likely to lean toward liking the latter more? How much of The Last Jedi can we agree is good? Can one aspect of good television be termed, consistent character dynamic amongst the main cast, the plot the same every week, with the background changing occasionally? NCIS is hypnotic, but it can't be the formula that makes it so compulsively watchable, can it? Is it possible to bottle chemistry? Love and passion into a project of course being a prerequisite, is it possible? Or is the love and passion put into the project, itself the bottled chemistry?
The Show Goes On is the most studio-mandated thing of all time, it's just absolute machine-produced garbage, and yet it still works somehow.
We recorded the pilot to the podcast today- not really even trying and it came out well. The fact that we didn't want any dead air, that we just had to speak what came into our mind, made it spontaneous and fresh, and produced instant running gags.
