Fall TV Preview and Blue Dragon Fire burns The Defenders Edition

Rundown: We share our most anticipated TV shows of the fall 2017. And speaking of TV, in our second segment, Ben Weddell from Big Ben’s Movie Show joins us to review THE DEFENDERS on Netflix. Is this one going to be a street fight between a DEFENDERS defender and two hosts ready to ditch the Marvel TV Universe? Yes. And finally, Peter Brown from Assignment X joins us to talk about the season 7 finale of GAME OF THRONES and what we are expecting for the eighth and final season. Topic 1: Fall TV Preview It feels a little silly do to a Fall TV Preview anymore. This was a thing that TV critics and entertainment websites always did because the TV season officially started in September and ran through May. That’s right, kids. There was a time when the only thing on during the summer months were reruns. But now there are new TV shows all year around, but a majority of the broadcast networks still save their big TV premieres for the fall, so the Fall TV Preview lives on. We’re each going to pick the five TV shows we’re most excited about this fall, not including STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, because - DUH - of course we’re excited for STAR TREK DISCOVERY. So excited, we’re going to talk about it every single episode on this show.   Master lists of TV premieres: http://www.metacritic.com/feature/tv-premiere-dates http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/24/fall-tv-premiere-dates-2017/ Chris’s Picks The Vietnam War - PBS 9/17 http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-vietnam-war/home/ Mindhunter - Netflix 10/13 https://www.netflix.com/title/80114855 The Good Place - NBC 9/20 https://www.nbc.com/the-good-place?nbc=1 SMILF - Showtime http://www.sho.com/smilf Star Trek: Discovery CBS All Access 9/24 http://www.cbs.com/shows/star-trek-discovery/ Honorable Mentions: Rick and Morty Season 3, Curb Your Enthusiasm HBO in October, The Crown on Netflix in December Sonia’s Picks The Orville - Fox 9/10 http://www.fox.com/the-orville The Deuce - David Simon’s new show on HBO 9/10 http://www.hbo.com/the-deuce Alias Grace - Netflix 11/3 https://www.netflix.com/title/80119411 Top Of The Lake: China Girl - Sundance TV 9/10 http://www.sundance.tv/series/top-of-the-lake Stranger Things Season 2 - 10/27 Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/80057281 Honorable mentions: I Love You, America - Hulu 10/12; Too Funny To Fail - Hulu - a documentary about the failed Dana Carvey show that featured Louis CK, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert Returning shows - The Good Place, South Park, Will & Grace Topic 2: Netflix's The Defenders and Comic Book Fatigue? Guest: Ben Weddell from Big Ben's Movie Show On August 18, Netflix gave us a gift the Defenders, the Avengers-like team up show of its adult oriented Marvel superhero shows which include Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Iron Fist. If this were a real gift, I would return it. As promising as it started, I am done with Netflix’s Marvel shows. More on that to come. In our show prep, I learned Sonia and I might be on the same page. So we’re bringing back friend of the show, Ben Weddell, host of Big Ben’s Movie Show… you can see it on YouTube … who has declared his misguided love for this show. Status Check For...
