DTF St. Louis: The Unofficial Aftershow

No One's Normal: HBO's DTF St. Louis Says Goodbye

In the DTF St. Louis finale recap episode of DTF St. Louis: The Unofficial After Show, we break down the HBO limited series' ending and why the series finale is so controversial. We discuss the biggest finale reveals, the shifting perspectives on Floyd, Clark, Carol, and Richard, and a tense, awkward turning-point scene that pushes the show’s themes, midlife crisis, marriage, loneliness, masculinity, and suburban secrets, to their breaking point. St. Louis got a spotlight we'll never forget and it's been a journey!  Thank you to all of our guests for joining us on this show and thank YOU for listening all season.

The Denny's Plan, American Sign Language, and a Real TV Weatherman

It’s the penultimate episode of DTF St. Louis: The Unofficial Aftershow—your DTF St. Louis Episode 6 recap—as HBO’s DTF St. Louis goes from awkward to ominous fast: Floyd hits a low so raw he says he feels invisible, Carol’s reconnect attempt crashes and burns, and Clark’s well-intentioned help spirals into an ill-fated Denny’s Plan: complete with Tiger Tiger, Modern Love, and a mystery eavesdropper who suddenly wants in. Who’s really pulling the strings, and what does that final knock on the door mean for the finale? Plus, two can’t-miss guests: De Linda Brite (Deaf Inc.) breaks down what the show gets right (and wildly wrong) about American Sign Language and interpreters. Plus, real-life St. Louis TV weatherman Steve Templeton (Chief Meteorologist, First Alert 4) weighs in on the cyclone chaos, that on-air arrest, and the truth behind a meteorologist’s on-air persona.

Amphezyne and a Doctor talks Peyronie's Disease

HBO’s DTF St. Louis Episode 6 “Amphezine” is a jaw-dropper: wild opening montage, sharper laughs, and twists in the “who killed Floyd?” mystery.  Investigative Reporter Lauren Trager and film and TV critic Elliott Collins break down and recap every aspect of the episode. For example: detectives Homer and Plumb finally bonding like true buddy cops, chasing the other bike clue, and flirting with an illegal shortcut. Then the Floyd–Carol–Clark affair flips again: who is aware and facilitating and battling FOMO? Plus, a St. Louis urologist joins the show to explain Peyronie’s Disease (as common as 1 in 10 men), the treatments for it and stigma surrounding it. Join the conversation DTFSTL@firstalert4.com [DTFSTL@firstalert4.com]. Only two episodes left!

Missouri Mutual Life Insurance and a former St. Louis Detective

DTF St. Louis is back and we’re following the money aka the life insurance. Episode 4 is a wild ride: surprise bangers (Thunderboys!), a wine-trail bromance that’s maybe more than a bromance, and an ending that drops like a clap of thunder. As suspects multiply, Carol’s money stress gets real, Richard’s volatility raises fresh questions, and “Modern Love” delivers a clue that could crack everything open. Plus: a former St. Louis detective joins us to separate TV cop fantasy from real-world murder math and he’s got theories.

Go-Getter, Purina "National" and Why Hollywood Skips St. Louis

We’re back for a lively breakdown of DTF St. Louis Episode 3, as investigative reporter Lauren Trager and film critic Elliott Collins dig into the show’s latest twists—Carol’s motives, a mysterious key, awkward-funny intimacy, and the emotional fallout of Floyd’s death. Plus, we’re discussing St. Louis authenticity (and what’s not so-spot-on), then welcome guests from Purina and the APA of Missouri to embrace the show in a different way, and lastly, the head of the St. Louis Film Office explains why productions skip over St. Louis and how they’re working to change that.
