The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we’re diving into the upcoming summer TV lineup.

From the big, obvious watches everyone will be group-texting about to the new shows that already have us irrationally hopeful, we’re breaking down what deserves a spot in your summer binge rotation.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/660Get our secret Snake Draft episode in our 2020 Archive Bundle at knoxandjamie.shopRewind: The Eternaut | The Four Seasons | #1 Happy Family USA | Love Island USA | The Summer I Turned Pretty | Stick | We Were Liars | Dexter Resurrection | Washington Black | Chief of War | The Bear | Squid GameObvis: House of the Dragon S3 | The Bear | Ted LassoSummer Green Lights: Lord of the Flies | The Other Bennet Sister | Rivals | Widow’s Bay | Margo’s Got Money Troubles Buy / Sells: Elle (Prime Video) | Cape Fear (Apple TV) | Not Suitable for Work (Hulu) | Lanterns (HBO Max) | Little House on the Prairie (Netflix) | Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (Apple TV) | The Hawk (Netflix) | Five Star Weekend (Peacock) | Spider-Noir (Prime Video)Also-Rans: The Boroughs (Netflix) | Every Year After (Prime Video) | Lucky (Apple TV)Fact check: Patrick Wilson can sing? Drive-bys: The Bear ‘Gary’ commentary | Legally Blonde | That Thing You Do! | 1962 Cape Fear & 1991 Cape Fear | Melissa Gilbert’s Husband | The Last Thing He Told me (aka - Taken - Jennifer Garner’s version) | Zoe watching Harry on the SidelinesRed Light Mentions: Lorne Michaels & Paul McCartney (see also: more SNL commentary on TMYK) | Spotify logo | Stephen Colbert | Re-dedication service | Survivor S50 Winner Green Lights:Jamie:  show - Couple’s Therapy | show - Off CampusKnox: book - This is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max GladstoneBonus segment: Join us on Patreon to listen ad-free and get exclusive weekly and monthly content. Episode sponsors: Function Health (code: POPCAST25) | Quince | Olive & June | Hers | Pura | Bombas (code:POPCAST)
