THIS is what happens. When A-List talent meets societal commentary and narrative genius.
Ebube and Chinedu reunite with Emmanuel for a hilariously detailed discussion of Jon Hamm's new Apple TV+ show, 'Your Friends & Neighbours'. They discuss Apple's strategies for both media and technology, including how they approach telling people about their shows, before getting into what this show teaches us about wealth and culture.
They get into the woes of parenting, the mechanics of excess, and the injustice of romance, laughing all the way and finishing up with the year's most reflective iteration of "Hot or Not".

Amidst a busy year covering some of the most evocative dramas, we found the time to admire a timely gem and frankly, we love it.
Ebube taps Chinedu and AJ for a hilarious debrief on Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's new Apple TV+ satire, 'The Studio', and their discussion is almost as beautifully chaotic as the show itself. They talk about their favorite cameos and the genius of the show's episodic structure, before briefly getting into what really goes on at Hollywood award shows, as well as David Zaslav's war against art and the hidden brilliance of Apple's streaming service.
