‘The Lowdown’ Is That Show. Plus, ‘Heat 2’ Hype Meter and ‘House of Guinness.’

Chris and Andy talk about the modern-day hype cycles around film releases and why it feels like television drops don’t get that same level of attention in the wake of more Heat 2 news (5:38). Then, they make the case for why The Lowdown is one of the best shows of the year and what they’ve been asking for from this era of auteur-driven television (27:51). Finally, they talk about Netflix’s House of Guinness, from creator Steven Knight, and why, even though Knight is aiming high, the show misses the mark (43:55).
