Jay is BACK with NEW EPISODES of Verboten at the end of July, but while she's still off we're spotlighting some of the other amazing shows on the PTE Network!Boozy Bracketology is self-described as being about "strong drinks, strong opinions, and crowning champions". Each episode features a panel of special guest panelists each discussing and casting their votes across a multi-entry, bracket-style tournament to determine what the "best" of each category is, from Pop-Tart flavors to pro wrestling factions, sci-fi/fantasy writers to fictional bands, and any silly or serious categories in between! This episode, the first of a four-part series released in November 2023, features Jay as the moderator while five passionate gamers begin the process of whittling down 32 video game franchises to find the one with, arguably, the best music of all time!Boozy Bracketology----more---- Editing's expensive and listening to ads sucks!
