John Britt/USA Network


Andy reflects on his time making Briarpatch after the season finale aired this week (1:06). Production on most TV shows has ground to a halt due to COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean that Hollywood dealmaking is slowing down (15:42). We talk about that electric scene in the penultimate episode of Better Call Saul (28:00) and give some immediate reactions to the first episode of Mrs. America (38:33). Finally, Chris and Andy are joined by some of the cast from Briarpatch (50:59).
