Special: The Extra Hot Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show

Nov 04, 2020, 10:00 AM

We are delighted to welcome our friends from the Extra Hot Great podcast for a special crossover episode outside the bracket of the regular season. Tara Ariano, Sarah D. Bunting, and Mark Blankenship (of the Blankenship Chair) join us for TV trivia modelled after a typical Extra Hot Great episode! We'll open with a new release for the week, go Around the Dial with a game about shows that change networks, and play The Canon where our contestants must separate great works of literature from TV favorites. It all comes down to a contentious lightning round to determine the Winner and Losers of the week!
