And we're back. So we're gonna rank our top five TV shows of twenty
twenty three. We did this last year. Then at the same time,
summerhansy ass, what has been your favorite TV performance this year? So give
us your rankings and then also hit us with your favorite performance. So,
mister muss, I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna throw the red carpet out for
you to go first. Throw the red carpet. Okay, so for best
performance, I'm gonna save it until later in my list. Actually, let's
go with a couple honorable mentions here. So did you guys even know that
there was a new season of Future Rounda this year? I did because you
told me it wasn't bad. There was a couple elements of it that I
didn't love, but I love that show, but it's not one i've really
rewatched. I feel like it was a very much time capsule sort of show
for me, but it definitely is a soft spot in my heart. The
new season was was pretty decent, so it's an hordable mention for me.
Another one that I mentioned year at some point was Jury Duty, which is
just such a good show. I think it's on Amazon and yeah, I
guess the concept of it is that there's this whole fake jury that's going on,
this whole fake court case, although everyone in this whole show is an
actor except for one guy who thinks it's like this real case and that goes
on for like weeks, like must do some mental damage to this guy.
But you have to watch the show. It's so funny, so good week
to week, just so over the top, really really good. And you
got James Mars and John Marson what's his name Cycloic. Yeah, he's in
there too, which is which is fun. So that honorable into for me,
and then now we're in my top five. Number five for me,
I have a very eclectic list here this year. It's gonna be a fun
one here. Number five for me is a show called Pressure Cooker, which
I think came out in like January or maybe February. And this is like
a reality cooking show. It's essentially Survivor mixed with a cooking show, and
it's just so fun. It's like the characters, there's a surprising, like
some crazy stuff that goes on the drama of it. I also just love
cooking shows, and it's a good cooking show. Really really fun as a
fan of those two genres. Is a good, good matchup. So that
was number five. Coffin, You're number four. This was tricky. I'm
gonna give it to the Curse, which is still ongoing. There's still two
more episodes to go, so it could go higher on my list when it's
all said and done. But I figured out it's probably a good time to
rank it now because most of the show came out in twenty twenty three.
What's up, Travis? Did you see? Because I just had a no
vacation from someone that sent me and it's about the Curse. Everyone was speculating
all day. I'm excited to watch this. Christopher Nolan hosted a panel with
Nathan Fielder and Benny Safti today talking about the US. But the whole time
everyone thought it was not going to be Christopher Nolan. Like they thought it
was gonna be like a guy like Nathan for you, like it was gonna
be a guy named Christopher Nole, be different. But it was Christopher Nolan.
Thats I'm saying. When he was interviewing them, were like there was
an interviewer. Oh no, he was hosting as a ka moderated by Christopher
Nolan It. I just watched a half an hour interview with like, uh
Nathan Benny and Emma Stone and that was Yeah. I haven't watched the one
yet, but yeah, so it's out there, so I'm excited. I
got to watch on the web. Yeah. Uh, that's number four for
me. I'm really enjoying it. It's a weird show though. I feel
like there isn't a ton of highs in it, but there's also no lows.
It's just like consistently fun and interesting. The cinematography in that show is
like amazing, like some of the best cinematographer I've ever seen, honestly,
so freaking good in that Like every shot is like obscured in some way or
like shot like through a window or like through a reflection or something, which
is like very important for the context of what the story of the show is.
I love Nathan field There's anything he does is just my favorite. Emstone
is amazing in it, and that's what I'm giving my performance of the Year
two is Emstone. You know, mentioned to Nathan Fielder because I just love
that guy. He's so funny. But I'm a Stone, Like just the
amount of acting she has to do in that show. There's so many layers
of acting where she's you know, she's a character in the show, and
then in this show she's like playing up like these different versions of herself for
the camera and then to just different people. How she portrays herself, just
so many layers. She's so freaking good. So yeah, I'm really enjoying
that show. Number three is the last of us for me. I don't
think much needs to be said there. We reviewed that show, we talked
about a lot. It's just very solid. Number two for me Survivor season
forty four, not the one that just ended. This is the season that
is in the first half of the year. It was a really great season
with a very fun cast, an amazing winner, a lot of good strategy
and whatnot. Really really enjoyed it. And the number one for me is
season three of How To with John Wilson, which is a have you guys
any of you guys checked this out yet? No, Travis, this is
Purdue by Nathan Fielder. So it's in that realm Okay, So it's next
up now that you've finished Nathan. For you, at some point you're gonna
watch the rehearsal. After or before that, you got to watch how To
which almost I don't even know how to describe the show. Everyone, you
go check it Out's on HBO, Crave wherever, whatever country you're in.
Uh, I don't even know how to describe it. You just gotta watch
it. It's so weird and fun and interesting but also gets really deep at
some points it's weird and disgusting other points. I don't even know what to
say about it, but it's It's definitely my number one show, and i've
because the third season came out I think in the summer, and just throughout
this whole year or two, just rewatching episodes from the first two seasons over
and over. It's one of those shows where very fun on a rewatch too.
So yeah, easy number one for me. It's a list now,
current pats are nice, all right? Going through my list, I realized
I feel like I didn't really watch as many shows as maybe I thought I
did one us I don't know. Hitting into the list, but without further
ado, I might as well start. So at the bottom of my list,
I have I have Mando season three and yeah, I don't know,
it's just shows kind of going a little bit downhill for me. I feel
like there were still some hype moments in it, for sure, but definitely
didn't meet the expectations that maybe I had going into it. After that,
I had the last season of Sex Education, it was actually, Yeah,
I did like the season overall, mostly because of how it ended, but
like the overall journey I thought was just like a step down in comparison to
other seasons. What's up? So do you say last season is in like
the most previous season or is it the finale? It's the Yeah, it's
the last one. They ended the show, and I don't know. I
thought it was a really nice end to it, but yeah, I was
really looking forward to certain character dynamics that they just unfortunately didn't really dive into.
But yeah, so I had that there May isn't in that season,
right, she's in it? Yeah, May she's like abroad, so yeah,
different continent than the rest of the characters. Unfortunate. And then after
that gotta mention it, Oh yeah, you seas I kind of forgot that
that came out this year too? Or has it not come out this year?
You season? It just seemed the fact you're mentioning it. It's fucking
crazy. I thought it was a bad season, and that's what I thought
it was. I thought it was still had some some some good moments in
it, for sure. What was like, Yeah, this show is all
right. I watched this year, Travis, Okay, I don't I think
for the first time you're gonna have a heart take than Taylor you season four
even above mand Oh my god, Oh yeah, absolutely, I guess.
I guess I should have put Secret of Aasion on there too, so that
that that one wasn't even worth the mention. It was literally all the shows
that I watched this year though, So okay, I had that I think
you should leave season three. I think it is that is like the sketch
comedy show that comes out on Netflix by Tim Robinson. It's a very specific
set of humor. So I feel like you either love it or hate it,
and I absolutely love it. I never want them to stop making that.
After that, I have Loki, and then after that I have ted
Lasso, another one where I didn't love the the the whole season overall,
but I really liked how it ended. It was really really, really really
touching, So yeah, what's wrong? Tracks you haven't even seen that show.
I only heard your negativity on that show to this point, so that's
where I was surprised at it. There you go. There, So that's
your final five, right, and then Last of Us is my number one?
Thank you? Okay, that's how did you say more than five?
That's why it's like, oh, definitely more than okay? Oh was it
supposed to be top five? Because I definitely miss that. Okay, Okay,
that's okay. There you go. That's where the numbers were throwing me
off. That's where I was like, we're like negative three shows right now,
like you season four, me over Last of Us? Like what's he
drinking over? Like what to sponsorship? Is he trying to get over here?
Oh? Yeah, yeah, I guess it's gonna be I think that's
gonna be out next year. Next year is gonna be high. We got
that House of Dragon. The Boys is back. Lord of the Rings is
gonna be back. Me and Terror excited for that. I know you two
maybe not that much, but you know Lord of the Rings back are power.
Yeah. You two were like I feel you in the finale. You
both like, yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with this show, Like you know,
like a seven or something that's pretty great. But I'm still I will
be there day one though, get ready Geary for that. Yeah, so
I'll give honorable mentions. I'm like Kirking, though I didn't watch much all
the shows that are people talk about, like The Bear and Succession or all
my list. The problem is it's a lot of well me and Emily want
to watch together and as parents of three, that's rarely happening right now,
so I think soon we might just split off as far as the show.
It's not like decided to watch all the show No, I think it might
be a way where it might work better where you watch them on your time,
watching my time, and we'll meet back up and stuff. Because it's
just it's too hard with shows. But though so there's a lot I have
to catch up all them pills of you I watched this like White Lowest.
It's just like okay, I will eventually, but yeah, so like the
shows that I haven't seen, uh is quite granted even last year if we've
reviewed a lot more shows for the podcast, and even the shows like last
year was like like before yeah, Dexter, like there was so much this
year it wasn't too much. Like I put in the anable mentions of shows
that from yesteryear that I finally saw. So we talked about the newscast a
couple weeks ago. I won't mention it too much, but yes, Nathan,
for you, I finally listened it down because you've been talking about since
like the Custs, since his basement days, and I'm always like, yeah,
kind of get too, but I didn't know how much. Like I
said, it was like the Ali g Show, and I love that type
of humor. So that's why the other show you recommend me on there,
I absolutely love. I blew through that in a week. I watched all
four season and eighth view. It was just like or three whatever it is.
Oh man, it was just fantastic right my eye. And the other
one is Flea Bag. I fucking love that show. That's a top five
show of all time. It's always been on my list. It's Jones.
Yeah. If you people all a ridged she wrote the two seasons she wrote
start directed, I think some but like it is, it's only six episodes.
They're all like twenty two thirty minutes and you could watch in a weekend.
But man, that show, Like I wish I'd watch it earlier because
that was like Travis that when I talk about twenty twelve, Travis like,
fuck, that's me and woman Form right there, like just all these mistakes,
all these things happening, you're being your worst anything, Like there's so
much. It was just like a breathtaking show. I wish I had it
sooner, but it and it has a great resolution. So I love that
show. So that was some honorable mentions of old shows. But yeah,
there wasn't too much. So like what do I have in Where's the Fifth
Law? Like the Fifth Law? I put like Invincible, but like it
was fine because it's like half a season. I felt like the first half
was like good, the back half got really good, but then there was
another break, but the back half was really good. They're doing some great
stuff with Omni Man, So Kirklyn, you got to catch up here before
you get spoiled. There's some there's some good stuff there. So yeah,
when's that second one coming out with the second partner ainkh The rumor is February
March, so you got some time, but I just don't want to it's
spoiled on STUF. Yeah, I better jump in. So it's only four
episodes, so uh, gen V was next gen V ended up? There
was like the beginning it was good and there were some rocky stuff, but
it ended up having a really nice turn. I love all of the boys
stuff. They did really great kind of one two punch as far as the
penult and the finale. Some new characters there, so that was really good.
And then at number three I got the curse. Same thing with Dylan
where if it ends, it could go higher or lower. I'm somebody that's
definitely and I haven't seen the latest episode, but I'm definitely enjoying the back
half more. I think the pacing is a bit better. I felt like
the first few episodes like was maybe too long for me, but it's been
really good And my performance is the flipboard. Is Nathan filler because, like
I know, ammaztone was great, but when I watched because Nathan, I
had no context for him. When I started the Curse, I hadn't seen
Nathan for You and then I watched in the middle. So for me to
see Nathan for you like there, of course he's acting that show at times,
but for him to have like the layers and like how deep being going
this show dramatically That's what surprised me because not everyone can do that. Like
that's why I compared Sash Bark because he's another one that can do that.
But lots of skit actors they try to make that jump and it just doesn't.
You just see it's just not working. But it's like flawless with him,
and he's really impressed me, and I'm really excited, you know,
you know, I think this guy's gonna pop up in a fucking Nolan movie.
I'm telling you now, like just with all these connections that have been
happening, and I would love to see It's like, I think you're soon
gonna see Nathan Fielder and something like just flat out serious, real soon,
not even produced by him like some director, the same way Safty ended up
in an old one, right, So I feel like it's gonna happen.
And then my number one or number two show is Star Wars Visions. That
show is fucking phenomenal this year. I love that there's some of the best
Star Wars content in that I love the different variety of Hey, each episode's
a different studio, different animation, it's in anthology and yeah, there was
like three or four episodes, but maybe just three, but there's a couple.
I was like, this is like top tier, top ten story Star
Wars. I really think Dylan, you should give that that show a chance,
because it's not like when you say you're not in the Star Wars like
so like not, it's just like taking the concept and like let's do an
anime or samurai tablet with Star Wars. You don't have to know who chewbaccas
or the dark Side. Like it's just like there's some really there's some that
are gonna be okay, they're mid but if you ever ever get a Star
Wars itch again, you should try that show because that one has like I
just feel like there you can jump into it. Kirkham, would you revie
animation too? Like the animation style. Yeah, there's so many differences.
Kirklan, did you forget about Visions? I totally forgot about Visions. Yeah,
that would be your top five. I would swap you out for that
maybe, yea. That's good, good good. No, it's easy to
jump on. There's just some stories that are like they're twenty minutes and there's
like really I can't remember, like the people that make the Walsle Grammeut movies
make an episode and it's like this really cute mother daughter a movie about pod
racing. You know, it's like, oh, this is like really heartwarming
stuff. So and then number one is last of us, not a big
surprise. I love the show well, the game. I thought they did
a great adaptation. I was happy with it. H casting wise is great,
Like I guess like that was the other person I thought was Belle Ramsey
as my top performance as well as Ellie. I thought she was good,
so that I went back and forth. But just Nathan surprised me a bit
more so, Yeah, Field, sorry because I feel like the same thing
happened last year, or maybe you just aren't hot on this. But Barry
season four not in your list again? Oh yeah, I would have that
happened last year. I did. I kind of forgot. I would take
out gen V, I would take out a vincible. This happened number five.
I put it number four. Actually I was with other people that I
didn't love exactly how closed out. I still thought it was great, but
it just I did feel like some other people that it got a little rushed
and they even said that that they took two seasons to put him in a
one, and I feel like that hurt it overall. It was but they're
still great acting, So how did they do that? I think Hater was
just ready to just ready to close it out, just close it or maybe
he thought there wasn't enough for both seasons, maybe when he was writing it.
So yeah, I mean because I I think I watched whole maybe I
had started that show last year. It's hard to remember all the time of
this, but man, I wasn't even disappointment season for I just felt like
I felt nothing through the entire thing. And then it was over and I
was like, well, I guess that was that show. There's two bad.
Those first three seasons are so freaking good. Yeah, so yeah,
that was that was a big disappointment for me, honest, thank you for
reminder, but yeah, i'll put it. I'll put it four. But
yeah, there was a little little surprised. You can't like that happened two
years in a row. You forget forget about Barry. I think it's that's
why I know there's there's some TV apps, but I need like a letter
box for TV. Yeah, so because it's just too much stuff. So
that's funny. Well, yeah, it was tricky to kind of go through
and think about the shows that I've I've gotten through. Definitely a slower year
for me, And when I realized in retrospect, it just came down to
me and Madison rewatching old shows, just like binging hard. We did a
whole rewatch of the Office. Did we watch a Seinfeld and just those easy
shows just to put on while you're just doing medial tasks around the house.
But the stuff that I did complete, we'll come after. I say these
honorable mentions that I didn't Twisted Medal. Still working through Twisted Metal and now
the second season's announced. I mean I got to finish that, uh Kitchen
Nightmares that came back this past year, so I'm still working through that.
That's an amazing resurgence. And then Monarch, I'm still plowing through that,
plowing through it. Yeah, Monster, what episode are you on Twisted Metal?
I think I'm on. I think I did three four of how many
eight? I don't even know how many there are? Is there? Five?
I don't know. Don't trust me. I'm going from going off that,
but it shows that I have completed Mendalorian. Season three is my number
five. I have gen V is my number four. Gen V was just
an next excellent little surprise, totally caught me off guard. I thought it
would be Last of Us is my number three, where they really really liked
Last of Us. My number two is Jack Ryan. This is also my
best performance John Krasinski because I leading up to or not leading up too.
Sorry, after baby came along, I was at home and was just staying
up late nights and stuff. So I was just binging Hord Jack Ryan and
got through season three, and then they watched the Office too, so you're
like, oh yeah, so then Jack Jack ryand season four was rolling out
in the next couple of weeks after that, so it's just easy just to
get right into it. And I it's just he plays such a good Jack
Ryan. That show is just fantastic. I really really recommend it. Then
my number one is Ahsoka. Obviously they just did so many awesome things that
just hit my nostalgia bone hard, and I was just I was all up
on that show. It was great. So that's my number one for obvious
reasons. Sorry, I zoned out. What was your number one? Visions
star Wars Ahsoka, okay, you wouldn't even have visions on yours. I
honestly do not remember enough of it. I need to go back and rewatch
it. The only episode I remember is the girl who was like hiding out
from the Sith. Is like she was hiding out from a syth. No,
remember she was hiding she Remember I thought it was a Jedi and you
it's like, it's clearly a Sith. No, it's a Jedi. It
was like I bought it and then we looked into it's like, no,
it was a Sith. Was like, oh, I would have fell for
that trap. Then oh yeah, he didn't remember. Mike was asking you,
didn't you ship I'm halfway through Beef. I'ven't finished it. Dylan said,
okay, so I gotta reachange my list now. I would. That's
why I didn't hear your number one, Taylor, because I was like,
I was looking at beef, was like, beef good, It's fucking good.
I would put beef that would bump Star Wars Visions down Beef with give
us a new list. What's your top five? Real quick? My top
five right here? You got gen v the Curse Star Wars Visions Beef and
Last of Us Beef, and I'm sure there's probably some other fucking jow I
forgot Perry. Oh yeah, gone very the Curse, Star Wars, Visions,
Beef and Last of Us. So I'm gonna do a better job when
I'm gonna That was kind of you guys saw that right? Oh yeah,
the metaverse thumbs up and came up. It's just like them thing, guys,

first newscast before I didn't even think about that. That's our first episode of
two. Wait, Taylor, did you pick your your best performance here?
Ye? John? Oh, I did not you did you did? I

twenty three. Yeah, thank you very much for Tunian. We'll be back
next week. Bye bye bye
