Shows What You Know - Shows What You Know

It’s the dog days of summer TV, but we’ve got a packed episode of news, reviews, and questionable life choices. First up: Chimp Crazy’s Tonia Haddix has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison after a wild saga of lies, basements, and surprisingly casual on-camera confessions. We marvel at the access Eric Goode (of Tiger King fame) managed to get, and whether this is the most incriminating reality footage ever. Then, Paramount Plus and Skydance officially tie the knot, birthing the hilariously clunky new moniker “Paramount: A Skydance Corporation.” We unpack the corporate dynasty politics, AI buzzwords, and what this could mean for the future of TV (Spoiler: not great). Jim takes us on an emotional journey to the 40th anniversary screening of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, visits Paul Reubens’ grave, and discusses the new documentary Pee-Wee as Himself – a heartfelt deep dive into the life, legacy, and humanity behind the bow tie. Jakob reviews season one of Murderbot, starring Alexander Skarsgård, a surprisingly cozy slice of sci-fi about an autistic-coded (pardon the pun) security unit navigating corporate space, alien relics and its own inner monologue. All while binge-watching its favourite TV show – so relatable! And finally, we watch the trailer for The Paper, an Office sequel we were prepared to hate but… didn’t? All this plus tangents, nostalgia, and the usual sprinkle of existential dread!

From Max undoing its own rebrand to Disney trotting out football players at Upfronts, the state of TV in 2025 is one big mess – and we’re here to walk you through it. This week, we unpack everything from the future of The Last of Us after its season 2 finale, to the crushing brilliance of Andor Season 2, to the onslaught of nostalgia-bait reboots (Scrubs, Buffy, Malcolm in the Middle, oh my).
